Was Puzzled

Prohibition Intelligence
Officers
An "Overcoat Parade"

A surprise move by counsel for
the defense turned the hearing
of Herman Feuerstein, alias Her
man Bussey, of ATOP Teresa
Place, one of the suspects in the
alleged nationwide bootleg alco-
hol conspiracy recently uncover
ed at Cleveland, into what United
States District Attorney A. E.
Bernstein termed parade of the
wooden soldiers.
Feuerstein was brought before
United States Commissioner Al
bert MCGEE, in Atlantic City. He
was among a crowd OF twenty
men of about the same height
and build. They filed into the
courtroom with their overcoat
collars up. Assemblyman Joseph
Altman and Congressman Benja-
min Colder, of Philadelphia, coun-
sci for the defense, defied Federal
Agent Harry Volpe, of Provi-
dence, R. l., a member of the
United States Intelligence Serv-
ice, and principal witness against
Feuerstein, to identify him.
Instantly the situation became
tense. Some eight or ten Federal
agents in the room glowered upon
the men seeking to shield Feuer-
stein, and the men scowled back
at the agents. Prosecutor Bern
stein expressed fear of rough
treatment for the agents, and
counsel for the defense assured
him the men were "all gentle
men,"
Volpe took up a stand in the
center of the room and the "over-
coat brigade" filed back and forth
across the room in front of him.
Volpe was frankly puzzled. Final
ly he placed his hand upon the
shoulder of one of the men, but,
realizing his mistake withdrew it
quickly. The man proved to be

The Court intervened at this
roint and Voipe was forced to
admit that he could not identify
Feutrstein. John A. Conwell, of
Philadelphia, a special agent
who was with United States
Marshal Finley when the latter
arrested Feuerstein, was then
called on to identify him and did
SO. On the strength of this
Identification, the hearing was
continued until April 10, at II

tinued in the case.

Calls Attention
To Fire Hazards
Section Fire Warden Krew-
son Issues Warning
Against Carelessness
Forest Fires and Effects

Section Fire Warden r. e.
Krewson has just issued a notice
calling attention to the hazards
of forest fires, their causes and eff
fects.
These relate to the burning of
Wasteland, brushland or forest,
except under certain conditions;
the ignition of fires to destroy
brush, litter or anything that
might start forest fire, without
having first obtained permit for
such fire; having a fire under way
without careful and competent
watch being kept over it; inter
fering in any manner with a fire
warden or his helpers, or with
their work of fighting a forest
fire; refusing assistance or the
use of property when called upon
by a fire warden; the mutilating
or destroying of any forest fire
notice or proclamation.
An owner may set a backfire
on his own property for its pro-
lection provided he does not let
it escape from his own property.
Permits are not necessary in
any township where there are
not firewardens.
Permits are not necessary when
fire is set more than 200 feet
from woodland or from land con-
tanning any growth by which fire
may be transmitted to forest or
brushland.
The law also provides that a
fire warden may set or order set
any backfire.
That a fire warden may arrest
without warrant any one he finds
violating the law.
That all penalties collected go
to the townships concerned.
That any person who helps put
out a fire, even though a firewar-
den Is not present, can be paid If
his work is promptly reported to
and approved by the firewarden.
In any township in which fire
service is established any person
who shall find a fire burning in
the forest or where the forest is
endangered, shall Immediately
extinguish the same or being un-
able to do so, notify firewarden.

REWARD FOR DANCING
LEADS GIRL TO DEATH
Little Tot Crushed While Run
ming to Spend Ten Cents at
Candy Store

Lena, the five-year-old daughter
of Mrs. Joseph Lolli, of Landis
vile, was crushed to death on
the Harding highway during fes-
tivities in which the girl was
the star. Guests of the LOllis
had given Lena ten cents as re-
ward for dancing the Charleston.
Receiving the money, the little
girl was running across the road
to a candy store to spend the
money when Mrs Ellen Kock, of
Ocean City, drove along in a
large automobile. The child is
said to have dashed headlong
into the car and was knocked
down, Her face was crushed
and she was believed dead, but
a record run was made to the hos
pital here without avail.

a formal charge of manslaughter
against Mrs. Kock.
