Doubt Cast on Story That
Woman Was SIugged,
Bound, Gagged.
BY HERBERT LITTLE
United Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Jan. 37.-United
States Attorney Peyton Gordon de-
cided today, after investigation, to
ignore reports that a pretty young
woman defense witness in the Sin
clair-Burns contempt case had been
slugged and robbed in her hotel
room here.
Investigation by Gordon ana po-
lice disclosed no evidence of crime,
Gordon said, despite the statement
of William Lantz that his wife,
Jeanette, 81, was beaten, bound
and gagged Wednesday night.
The report of Detective William
J. Burns that his rooms, and those
of many of his operatives, have been
rifled was not communicated Of
f1cially to authorities and no action
is planned in this connection by the
police.
Won't Be Sidetracked
Gordon said he would not be
"sidetracked" from the contempt
trial, now in it's seventh week, by
any sensational new reports. He de-
clined to discuss suggestions that
the assault" may have been a
"frameup."
A hotel physician, after exa1nin-
Ing Mrs. Lantz, found no indication
that she had been beaten. Police
detectives, summoned to the hotel,
found no such evidence. Burns de-
tectives, witnesses in the contempt
trial, who stayed at the same hotel,
said, however, that the woman
would have suffocated soon If the
gag had not been removed.
They said document bearing on
the character Of william j. McMul-
lin, star Government witness, was
stolen and a dresser was searched,
although a wallet containing $50
was untouched.
United States Witness ASSaiIed
The woman could not describe her
alleged assailant, who was said to
have entered with a pass-key. Lantz,
leaving for dinner, had locked his
wife in her room, he said.
McMullin, who acted as a Gov
eminent informer while shadowing
jurors as a Burns detective, is I'M
der attack by defense lawyers. They
charged him with forgery, bribery,
bigamy, perjury, desertion from the
Army. and assorted other shortcom-
ings, in an effort to impugn his tes-
timony that he falsified documents
at the direction of Burns men, with
the knowledge of w. j. Burns him
self.
McMullin probably will be on the
stand the rest of the week. He had
admitted only the forgery charge.
