RICHARD IS FREED
Not Guilty Verdict From Jury
in Seduction Trial.
Hundreds of Friends Almost
OverwheIm Sports Promoter.

New York. March 29.-George L.
CTex) Richard, sports promoter, was
acquitted of charges of assault and
abduction in supreme court here early
today. He will probably not be called
upon to answer to three similar in
dictments that have been found
against him by the grand jury.
This was indicated by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Ferdinand Pecora. who
conducted the trial of Richard on &C
cusations made by Sarah Schoenfeld,
aged Is.
He said the other charges were pred
icated upon virtually the same set OF
allegations as in the one just ended.
Seldom has there been so much of a
demonstration in the house as that
staged when the jury brought in its
verdict freeing Richard.
Hundreds had fingered about the
big building thinking the jury would
not deliberate long before reaching an
agreement. When the first syllable of
the verdict fell from the lips of the
jury's foreman, the word was shouted
thru the corridors Richard was al
most overwhelmed by his friends.

COAL TIEUP SURE
Little Chance To Avert Union
Walkout April 1 Now.
Anthracite Miners and Oper-
ators Far From Agreement.
lpy the Assoe,ated Press,


New York. March 29.-Casting
aside as a remote possibility the
prospect of settling their differences
in time to avert the general strike set
for three days hence, members OF the
anthracite subcommittee on wage con-
tract negotiations today girded them
selves for a long. hard struggle over
the miners nineteen demands.
Nothing but a miracle-the 1mme-
date acceptance of each and every
one of our demandS-can avert a
strike now" said Thomas Kennedy,
district president of the U. NJ. W. A.
Under the present circumsta nees it
is probable that the suspension will
go into effect April I, according to
the miners program" said S. P. War
riner, vice president of the Lehigh
Coal & Navigation company.
Altho Sanguine of the ultimate sue
cess of the negotiations-now in prog
ress the six other members of the
subcommittee composed of
union chiefs and mine operators were
convinced that the mines would be
evacuated Saturday.
Philip Murray, vice president of the
U. NJ. w. A, scouts the report that
importation of British-mined soft coal
will lessen the danger of a bitunli-
nous coal shortage and thereby hurt
the cause of the miners in the forth
coming strike.
I'VE are not afraid of the. British
coal,' he said. '1t has been imported
before without seriously affecting the
mining industry or the market in
AS the wage negotiations proceed
more determined that the next con-
tract shall contain inviolable provi-
sion for installation of the check off
system in all anthracite mines.

FATHER SEEKS HIS CHILD
Mrs. Leota York "kidnaps' Daughter
From Overlook school.

Habeus corpus proceedings were
started in the district court today by
Ed York to regain possession of his
from school at Overlook Tuesday by
her mother, Mrs. Leota York, a mis-
sionary returned from the Philippine
islands.
Mrs. York was granted a divorce
from her husband last FRIDAY by
Judge James Mcclure, but the dispo-
sition of the child was held in abey-
ance to allow the father to appear
and present his claims. Apparently
fearing that the decision of the court
might be against her, Mrs. York hired
a taNicab and going to the school,
house, took her daughter with her to
Carbonate. There she entered an
other taXicab and headed north.
Their Whereabouts are uncertain.
The Httle girl had been living with
her father and grandparents in Over
brook. She was in the eighth grade.
She had also been taking care of her
gran dmOther. who is an invalid.
Judge Mcclure told York when he
called at the court house to find out
how to regain possession of his
daughter that no criminal action
could be brought, as the custody of
the little girl had not yet been passed
upon.
Mrs. York returned from the Phil
1pplnes about two months ago, ac-
cording to her attorney, for the pur-
pose of getting a divorce iron York
An emergency was declared and the
ahead to allow her to return to her
work across the sea. No service in
the habeaS corpus suit had been OBJ
tanned late this afternoon.
