Blickman Fails to
Identify kenneally
AS a Bribe Taker
Complainant Will BE Cross
Examined To-day on His
Affidavit That He Had
Accused the Wrong Man

Solomon Blickman, Long Island City
manufacturer, upon whose testimony
William ?. Kenneally, former Alder
man and co-leader with Charles F. Muir
ply in the 10th Assembly District, was
indicted on charges OF extortion in
connection with building trades frauds,
tailed yesterday to identify Kenneally
as the man to whom he had paid $4,000
to have a strike called off.
Hickman, with his counsel, was
present at hearing before Justice
" asservogel in the criminal branch of
the Supreme Court when motion was
made for an inspection of the minutes
OF the grand jury which indicted Ken
neatly.
During the proceedings Kenneally
sat in the front row. Bickman was
asked to look around and see il he
could point out the man to whom he
had paid the money. Blickman walked
slowly up and down the aisles of the
courtroom and reported that he could
not find him.
Justice Wasservogel took the motion
for the inspection of the grand jury
minutes under consideration and will
read the minutes himself. To day
however, he will place Blckman on the
stand while Deputy Attorney General
Timothy n. Pfefor examines
HIM about an affidavit he made recently
that kenneally was not the man to
whom he paid the money.
Martin Conboy and George z. Medalic
argued for the inspection of the min
utes. Mr.. Conboy said he had read the
Blickman affidavit and that the indict-
ment of Kenneally was obviously a
mistake, apparently an honest mistake
and that there was no need for further
argument.
Mr.. PfeiFer declared the Blickman
affidavit to be the most extraordinary
he had ever read. He said, 'If Blick-
man is in error we do not want to take
one step further against the defendant,
but feel there was sufficient evidence
before the grand jury to warrant the
Indictment"
Stanley M. Richter, Deputy Attorney
General, who aided in the presentation
OF the case against Kenneallv, said
hickman swore he paid the money to
the former Alderman, and that is suf1i
clent identification of this defendant
tic swore to this before the grand
jury. | suggest that he be called be-
fore this court and questioned to-mor-
row afternoon at o'clock"
AS Mr.. Kennealy passed Mr. Richter
out In the corridor the former turned
to the latter and said: "Why don't you
act on the level? You know you are in
the wrong"
We let the law attend to that" was
Mr.. Richter's reply.

Her talk yesterday was a summary
Of her testimony before the Senate
committee She told of the impossi-
bilty of holding together any vigorous
rural life against the steady discour
agemcnts which beset the farmer, She
said the fall in prices and the obstacles
between farmer and consumer left the
farmer in the predicament Of finding
his crops a loss instead Of a gain. She
said survey in the corn belt had dis
closed that the combined wages O. n
farmer and his whole family was often
less than FIVE cents an hour. She de-
clared that tho increase of tenant
farmers and farmers listed for tax de-
linquency should alarm the country. A
current saying in her part Of the coun-
try is that the farmer sows by hope,
markets by faith and lives by accident,
and 1t is this element of accident in
the farmers life that the farm inter
ests wish to see eliminated. The Ladd-
Sinclair bill or any bill that promi ses
that sterilization has their support.
She told the legislators that 6000,0O0
farmers and their wives at the next
election would vote for their own cand-
dates, and so, it is contended, shrewdly
put forward the most eloquent argu-
ment that an election year affords
This is Mrs. Radick's first visit to
a great city. She was given her first
glimpse of city sums yesterday and

into drawing room whose fragile
scheme was as subtly and intricately
developed RS a theme by Debussy, a
country woman entered yesterday with
few notes of reality about the life
Of the farmer and the farmer wife.
The woman was Mrs. Ncs p Radick,
who has just come from Washington,
where she has been telling tke Senate
Committee OF Agriculture a few things
that never get into agricultural reports.
She is the first country woman to go
to Washington to let the Federal Legis

beaver hat and home made charmeuse
gown, with weather-roughed skin, broke
for the moment the chromatic scale
of greens and mRuvcs and faint vel
lows of that drawing room. But when
she spoke it was with an case and clo-
qucnce that proved her a natural
leader.
Mrs. Radick spoke last week before
the Senate Committee and created a
profound impression upon her hearers
of the purpose which animatcs not
only the farmer but the farmers fam
lily in his present insurgency. Next
week she is called to testify again be-
fore the committee and when the Ladd =
Sinclair bill for the stablization of
farm economics comes up in few
weeks her testimony will, it is believed,
form a fair measure of the farmers
fighting power.
Mrs. Radick comes from Fulda. Muir

band holds and cultivatcs quarter-sec-
tion 060 acres). She was a rural school
teacher before her marriage and since
that time she has been familiar figure

should tell the legislators how the daily
