would be automatic, even in the State Of

Even more than that-there were ndi.

were carrying on similar operations and
that a great many wives and husbands had

According to Mr., Chess and Detective

But before the actor goes to the elaborate
pains of makingup every effort is made to
induce the husband to compromise himself
voluntarily, and for that purpose some of
the "brOker's" prettiest lures" contrive to
meet him and get the evidence.

band tricksd in this way may live It
down.
But the woman is branded for life!
Everywhere she goes she is known as the
woman, who was mixed up in that awful
divorce case" No man with whom she
might start life over wants anything to
do with her.
Young Mrs. Hirsch is entirely absolved
from any completely whatsoever in the
trick alleged to have been worked on her
husband. She, too, is regarded as a victim
of plot engineered by persons interested
in separating her from him.
And, OF course, Berkowits has not yet
been found guilty, and he will have plenty
OF opportunity to meet the charges against
him when his case comes TO trial. He has
retained very able criminal lawyer, Judge
Leonard Snitkin, and expects to escape the
ten years in prison that is the maximum
penalty for the crime charged against him.
The Washington times., 1922-05-21

The alleged conversations with Berko-
witI are Interestingly set forth in an appeal
to the Supreme Court Of New York by At
torney Chess, in which he asked the court
not to award either almony or counsel fee
TO Mrs. Hirseh.
The Supreme Court took cognizance Of
the appeal and has deferred Mrs. Hirsch1
motion for alimony and counsel fees.
"Berkowitz said to depOnent," Attorney
Chess swears in this appeal, that II de-
pOnent had divorce cases or other cases
in which he required evidence or witnesses,
male or female, he (Berkowitz) could fur
nish it so that he could get evidence of
any character or nature that he desired
for a valuable consideration. He said that
for 81 900 he would manufacture the neces-
sary evidence in a divorce case, and for
that purpose he did not need to catch the
defendant in the act, but would have .
person impersonate the defendant.
When depOnent expressed a doubt as
to the possibility Of such q thing being
done. he, said Berkowitx, replied, Well,
didn't fix it in the Hirsch case% And
deponent then said. DO you mean to say
that Hirsch was not there when that raid
took place? and Berkowitx answered, Sure
not Berkowitz further said, 4
never fail in these things; never let them
prove an alibi on me. l am not a fool I
make sure ! know whore they are before
l have q raid Berkowitz further stated TO
this deponent that he had conducted many
frame-ups' with many lawyers, and that in
this case he had received the sum OF
$3.50 for his services so far and he was
to get $500 more when the divorce was
granted. And further, the said
Berkowitz was introduced to woman who,
unknown TO Berkowitz, was q city detec.
tive, Mrs. Helen Thomas, and with whom
he entered into arrangements for procuring
fake evidence for her in q prospective
divorce action. .BerkOwitx then said, In
deponent's presence, to the said Mrs.
Thomas-believing her then to be a bona
fide seeker for a divorce-that he would
furnish the evidence against her husband
whether the husband was with a woman
or not, dead or alive II she would give
him $1,000 for doing it, and for $500 extra
he would have city detectives present at
the time Of the raid to give it an appear
ance Of being straight He stated that ne
would guarantee to procure this evidence
in fourteen days, again stating, 1 never

The effect of this surprising development
on the divorce action started by Mrs.
Hirsch is also interesting She declares
that she is going through with the case on
the evidence Of what happened in Berko-
Wits furnished apartment and Mr.. Hirsch
is still trying to persuade her to drop t
and continue their interrupted married lite.

dicate had been organized for the manu-
facture of evidence for real divorces. They
were politely skeptical.
Lawyer Chess was impatient and said
that il the District Attorneys Office
would loan him a detective he would
prove his astonishing charges. 1t was
evident that he was sincere, at least;
and so Detective Bernard Flood and
POlicewoman Helen Thomas, who is quite
attractive and as clever as she 10 pretty.
were assigned to investigate.
Detective Flood brought a dictaphone
over to the lawyers office and installed II
just under the desk at which Berkowitz
was expected to sit on his next visit. The
wires we're concealed under the carpet and
connected with a receiving apparatus in
the adjoining office. When everything was
complete Mr.. Chess called up Berkowit1
and asked him to drop over and discuss
some prospective business.
In few minutes, so it is sworn, Berko-
witz appeared. The lawyer waved in the
direction of a chair and Berkowitz sat
down. Under his elbow was the tiny black
box that carried every spoken word into
the next room, where the detectives sat
at another desk with pencil and paper and
with the receivers of the instrument at
their ears.
Berkowitz, It is said, inquired the object
of the interview. Lawyer Chess replied
that just after he had left the office q
had In to pe,,lt hip.

"She hasn't a stitch Of evidence" said
the lawyer. Her husband is a model
man, and yet she's sick of him"

He pushed a button and ordered sec

The policewoman appeared, very demure
in a quiet tailored suit, and nervously nm

BerkowitZ is accused OF opening negotia-
tions at once. Mrs. Thomas told him all
about her husband, who happens to be dead.
Every detail was discussed his supposed
habits amusements and the possibility of
his yielding to the temptation of lure"
And at the end of his conversation
Berkowitz Is said to have promised an
+ other raid, in which the impersonation OF
the late Mr.. Thomas would figure promi-
nently, to the extent necessary for divorce
proceedings.
It was then that Detective Flood step
ped into Lawyer Chesss office and laid his
hand on Berkowtz's shoulder. moment
later Sydney Hirsch appeared and the
office filled with witnesses to the alleged
proceedings!
Berkowitz was very indignant He said
he had been imposed upon. When he was
locked up in the Tombs he denied every.
thing, but the Grand Jury heard the wit
nesses and indicted him.
The State hasa number Of witnesses
who will testify That Berkowitz boasted Of
engineering the Hirsch raid and that his
case was only one OF many. Detective
Flood says that Berkowtz offered to
