HEADQUARTERS GUILTY, IS
 RULING OF JUDGE ALLING
 IN OPINION ON STATUTES
WHITMAN DWELLS UPON KING AND MANN TALES Says AndersOn's Defense, Fantastic at First, Really
 Is Plausible

Motion by defense counsel for an instructed verdict of not guilty in the case of William H. Anderson. state league on trial for third degree for gerry. was denied by Justice Tomp- kins at the opening of supreme court today. Justice TomplSins also denied motion to quash the indictment against Anderson.
 In his summation Mir. Whitman set forth the argument that the defend- ants story of John T. King" and Henry Mann," the donor and spend CT, respectively. of $24.7oo. although seemingly astounding and fantastic, was really plausible. Anderson. he declared, when he mot John T. King" in Baltimore, was about to embark on a great campaign--a fight against the prohibition forces of tho greatest state in the union---and therefore it was the simplest thing in the world for him to accept gift of few thousand dollars from d foe of liquor who for his own personal reasons did not want his name made public.
 Assistant District Attorney Pecora in his address 10 the jury declared that the question the jurors were to decide was whether the books of the anti-saloon league wes properly kept. He asserted that Ar rson. by his own testimony had shown they were not. Referring to the commission which Anderson had split" with o. Bertsall Phillips, league fund collec- tor, as "unholy moneys" MT. Pecora said that that in itself constituted the crime of eNtortion.
 The defendant was bitterly arraign- cd for the testimony he gave concern- ing John T. King and Henry Mann"
