 Relatives Here

He was found at the foot of a stairway in his home in Newark, Monday evening, with his back broken, his nose fractured and his body badly bruised and cut. He was alive but in a dying condition and unable to talk intelligently.
 He died a short time later at the Newark city hospital. His talk con- vinced the police department that he had been attacked, and robbery is thought to have been the motive
 The deceased man was a. brother of Alex Bonenfant, yardmaster for the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad in this city. and a brother to Mrs. Patrick J. O'Mara, wife of Police Sergeant Patrick O'Mara. The body was shipped to New Britain and burial was made this morning. Mass was celebrated at St. Mary's church at 9 o'clock and burial was in St. Mary's ceme- tery.
 That robbery was the motive Is the belief of Sergeant O'Mara and the brother Alex, the latter having been to Newark yesterday to ascer- tain the details of the tragedy. The deceased man was known to have had more than $500 in his posses sion when he went home that eve ming, although when found he had but fl cents.
 He was a member of the theatri- cal stage hands association of New Britain and of the carpenters union. He was a veteran of the world war, being one of the first to enlist, and remained in the service throughout the entire war. A military firing squad fired a salute and taps" were blown over the grave at the funeral this morning.

DAUGHERTY CASE
 UP AGAIN MONDAY
Defense Will Continue With
 Its Evidence

New York, Oct, 2 P-The trial of Harry M. Daugherty and Thomas W. Miller has reached the end of it's third week, and only two wit rcsses have appeared for the de- fense, both of them having given testimony intended to absolve tho two defendants from any blame at tached to alleged illegal approval of a 37,O00,O00 claim.
 There was no session of the trial today, which will be resumed Mon day.
 Senator Guy D. Golf of West Vir- ginia, testified yesterday that he, as assistant to Daugherty, approved the disputed claim for the attorney gen. erals department, and that Daugh- erty gave him no instructions con- corning it. George E. Williams as- sumed responsibility the day be- fore for approval by the alien prop erty custodian's office. Both former assistants testified that they re- ceivod advice and assistance from Adnah R. Johnson, a Daugherty ap- pointee in the attorney generals de- partment, in passing upon the claims.
 The government charges that the two officials of the Harding admins tration shared in a s441,000 fee which Richard Merton, German cop- per magnate, testified that he paid to the late John T. King, formerly republican national committeeman, for eXpediting the claim. Evidence was offered to show that some liber- ty bonds which formed part of Kings fee found their way to a bank account of Miller's and to a bank where Daugherty had ar account.
 Senator Golf yesterday testified that he had never met Merton or King before approving the claim. and that the first time he talked over the case with Daugherty was when President Harding asked for report on the case when it aroused criticism.
 His decision "represerted my own conclusion, not only on the law, but the facts, as the facts were pre- sented in the record which was ex- hihited to me-" he declared.
 The senator said, however, that he did not read all of the report on the claim nor investigate it, but re- lied upon investigations Of Johnson, who also wrote letter of transmit tai to the alien property custodian's s office for him to sign.
 Senator Golf was called out of his turn by the defense yesterday so that he might complete his testi- mony and sail for Europe today.

LABOR AND THE MOVIE

Possibly the labor unions could
qualify as well as anybody to 0nsor
the moving pictures If they did not
base their decision on the union
label. That they would be under
temptation to do something Of the
sort cannot be denied. At a lunch
con to Mr.. Hays, car of the mo-

organizer of the A. F. Of L., accused
the producers Of exploiting women
"of unpleasant notoriety" and
threatened that the employees would
walk out unless conditions are I'M
proved.
He also condemned ticket scalp
ing, and his words undoubtedly will
meet with approval among the
victims. With regard to exploiting
women the producers deny this be-
ing done. One speaker said Mr.
Hays, after the Countess Cathcart
had written her books and produced
her play. refused to approve 1t. On
the whole and Notwithstanding Mr..
Frayne the producers were able to
show that great improvement had
been made both In quality, In pro-
