DIAPER DOW COLLINS REMARK MAY
 HAVE BEARING ON CHAPMAN CASE
Judge Groehl Will Investi- gate Latest Story in Effort to Learn Possible New Evidence.

New York, April .S,--"ponner Don' Collins has ben ordered turned over 10 the federal authorities in Southern New Jersey where he is wanted on charges of conspiracy to smuggle liquor into the United States, Commissioner Cotter, how evcr deferred signing the order un- til April 27 to give Collins an oppor- tunity 10 bring habeas corpus pro- ceedings to secure his liberty.
 Collins fought extradtion 10 Southern New Jersey on the grounds , that such action would be contrary | from France. Collins asserted 10 re- porters that he was blamed for many crimes just as Gerald Chap man was" Drawing a parallel be- tween his case and that of the mo- torus criminal who in now in Weth- ersfield. Conn, under sentence of hanging for shooting a policeman, | Collins said:
 "I know people who know that Chapman was not in Connecticut at l the time of the crime"
 Former Magistrate Frederick J. Groehl of New York said that he would make a trip to the state pris- on at Wethersfield to ask Chapman about Collins statement. He said he would make a thorough investi- gation in New York and New Jersey ! 10 ascertain whether Collins might l have information that would be i helpful to securing a new trial for Chapman.
 Judge Groehl thought 1t signifi- cant that the charge against Collins was that of smuggling liquor into this country. He pointed out that Chapman had testified at his trial in that city that he, Dutch" Ander- son and others were engaged in the liquor smuggling business on a large scale, owning one twelfth shares each in q large underworld enter prise organized for that purpose.
 Both In Rum Game.
 He said that the liquor was ship ped from Bermuda until the tax there became "extortionate,' and after reaching the South Atlanui coast. was sent inland from saHan' nah and Baltimore by motor truck It was to protect these motor trucks from hijackers. according to his story that he and Anderson were equipped with the sawed-off shot guns, rifles and revolvers which were found in the Lincoln automo' bile trunk seized by the police after the Policeman Skelly murder in New Britain October F last for WhlcF Chapman was convicted April g.

Turned back by the blaze. they fell to work on the pumps. operated by compressed air, and about an hour later had T stream Of water playlnS on the IlTt'
 From then on, according to their statements this evening, it was sim ply q matter of pumping water un- til the blaze was subdued. Then they made their way to the shaft and sounded the danger signal as a request for the mine cage to be lowered.
 That signal heard all over the little mining community of Burke, told anxious relatives and friends that some of the men, at least, If not all, were alive. The cage was quickly dropped, and soon they ar rived at the mouth of tho shaft, hay ing effected their own rescue from the flames.

WHEELER FREED
 ON FIRST BALLOT
Acquitted of Charges Alter. Z
 Hours and 13 Minutes

Great Falls, Montana. April 25.- Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Mon- tana, late presidential candidate and political storm center, basked today in the double distilled sum- shine of fortune.
 As the senator stood in federal court here last night he received two messages simultaneously. one his acquittal on a charge of wrongfully using his senatorial influence with the Interior Department and the other an announcement of the birth of daughter in Washington.
 ~ The verdict was returned two hours and thirteen minutes after the jury had retired to deliberate. One ballot was taken.
 Despite an admonltion by Federal Judge Frank s. Dietrich that there must be no demonstration in court, there was a rush for the senator aft CT the verdict. In his hand he held the telegram announcing the birth of a daughter. He strcde over to the jury box and shook hands with each Of the twelre rnen.
 District Attorney John L. Slattery shook hanis with Senator Wheeler. T hope both the daughter and ver- dict get along all right" said Stat tery. smiling.
 Senator Wheeler then shook hands with Senator Thomas J., Walsh, his chief attorney, and $. C. Ford, w. r. O'Leary and James H. Baldwin, associate counsel, and re- tired from the court room. He later issued a statement saying that the verdict was what he expected and thanking Senator Walsh for his ser vices. He also said that Ahis concern for Mrs. Wheeler was greater dur ing the trial than was his anxiety over his case.
 Senator Wheeler was indicted here April B, 1924. by federal grand jury on charge of accepting a fec of s4.00o from Gordon Campbell, Montana oil operator, for appearing, after his election to the senate, be- fore the department of the interior in prosecuting oil land permits for his client, He branded the indict- ment as "palpably a frame-up" and blamed the department of justice, which he was Investigating at the time as prosecutor of the senate Daughcrty Investigating committee. Next day the senate started an 1n- vestigation of the case and later ex- oneratcd him.
 The trial started here April 16 after many delays. The government introduced a mass of documentary evidence which, it contended, was proof of the charges. Senator Wheeler maintained that the fec he accepted from Campbell was for services performed in the Montana state courts.
 The government produced as its star witness George P. Hayes, New York attorney. who testified he met Senator Wheeler by appointment in | NC" OTh III shdlClt' I'-"' anu '"oN' | the senator asked him to appear in l his stead before the interior depart ment. Senator Wheeler. who took the stand tn his own behalf, denied Hayes statEments.
 Senator Wheeler expects 10 leave at once for Butte and then to re. turn to Mrs. Wheeler in Washington as soon as possible.
