CUNNINGHAM FACES WARD
BUT is NOT RECOGNIZED

In one of the earlier Cunningham
versions he said he accompanied Rogers
and Jackson to Stamford. His assertion
that he met Rogers In Stamford some
time afterward Is a new one Accord
ing to Lawyer Mccarthy, Cunningham
telephoned Rogers ON that morning OF
May 1G when Rogers told of Jackson
having been shot by Ward. why can't
you get a physician where you are?''
and Rogers answered, I'VE can't; the
authorities are after u.s." The meeting
near Cunningham's home took place at
about 2 80 A. NJ, the lawyer said. He
also said that Cunningham was not in a
clear state of mind last Thursday nigh
when he told his story to the District
Attorney and the Sheriff in the McAlpii'
Hotel In New York.
District Attorney Weeks told the
Judge that Cunningham was In Jail be-
cause he preferred to remain there. One
hears about the court house that the
witness Is afraid of what certain per-
sons may do to him because OF. what he
has told.
Justice Seeger, ruling that the Coroner
had no right to commit Cunningham to
Jail. discharged him and then. on the
new application made by the District
Attorney, held him as a material wit
ness in $4,000 bail. Cunningham was
awaiting word late last night that his
lawyer. who was out hunting surety
had found it.

principal character In the melodrama

also in White Plains. All the members
of the Ward household returned to New
Rochelle in the afternoon.
