STONEHAM MAKES
 STRONG DEN|ALS
Says He Never Bucketed Gus
 toner's Orders

New York. Feb. g. - Charles A. stoneham. former broker and pres- ent baseball magnate, emphatically denied before federal court jury today that he ever had bucketed the orders of his customers. On the contrary, he testified, he always traded with. rather than against" them.
 Charged with having used the mails to defraud, Stoneham is on trial with five others, including El- more D. bier, president of E. D. bier & Company, which failed in 1922 for s4,00O,000. It Is avowed that Stone ham, when he closed his brokerage business, sold his accounts to the bier concern, which shortly there after failed.
 Asked why he had purchased list ed securities to balance his accounts, Stoneham said he was holding all his customers stock, but in large blocks of securities which he did not want to break up.
 He said he was carrying $5.00o,000 worth of securities, and that his GUS toners stil! owed him about $S,- 900, ,o0o on them.
 Ordinarily, he said, this sS,ooo,- 900 would have been carried in bank loan, but he had agreed to act as a banker for bier, holding the securities as collateral on a loan. The market declined rapidly. how. ever, and he insisted that bier take up the loan. When bier declined. said Stoneham. he sold the collateral and closed the loan.
 The prosecution contends thai Stoneham sold the collateral with out regard to the safety of GUS toners equities, and therefore was guilty of fraud.

sorts to Violence.

Ralph W. Hunt, Cathedral Man
sions, last evening, while stroling
along Adams Mill road. encountered
fat gentleman.
The strangers appearance was de-
ceptive. His apparent prosperity, as
indicated by garb and avotrdupois,
might have betokened Il justice Of
tho Supreme Court or the pastor of a
fashionable congregation In other
words, his appearance was completely
disarming.
Hunt was astounded when the fat
man accosted him and asked. politely
enough, for cash.
He gave him q small donation.
something utterly inadequate. he ad-
mits, TO enable his new acquaintance
10 keep up that deceptive atmosphere
OF prosperity.
The fat man scorned the proffered
money. Repulsive as the thought of
physical effort must have been to him,
he apparently realized that even in
the lives of the most prosperous and
indolent of the gentlemen of the broad
highway there come moments requir-
ing quick, decisive, energetic action.
He proceeded to attack Hunt. In
tho course of the fracas he nabbed
pocketbook containing about SO from
his victims pocket
Then the musical comedy bandit
was gone-surely q credit to his pro
fession and an example of what can
be accomplished in the higher reaches
Of banditry.

pajamas, dropping TO sleep over an
open volume of Schopenhauer.
Other thefts and losses reported TO

tanning $40 on her front porch and
was unable to find it.
