COURT IS IN FUROR
AT 'FRAME-UP' CRY
Even Judge Takes Part in
Verbal Free.for-AlI in
Chicago Trial.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
| CHICAGO, November 17.-Declara-
ton of a defendant among the Is men
on trial for conspiracy to commit fraud
violence and murder In connection with
last Aprils primaries. that the entire
case was "frame-up" today precipitated
a spirited free-for-all verbal battle in
which the defendant-witness, a dozen
lawyers and even the trial judge him
self participated.
The climax came when Harry Hook
stein. the witness. charged that David
Stansbury. chief of the staff of prose-
cutors, had conferred with him with a
view to inducing him to give testi-
nony, which he said Stansbury hoped
would send to the penitentiary Robert
e. Grove. States attorney; Michael
Hughes. former police commissioner;
Morris Eller, city collector. and Scar
face Az Capone. Chicago gang leader.
Judge Reprimands Lawyers.
The verbal pyrotechnics ended when
the defense made motion for a mis-
trial, which was overruled by Judge
John M. O'Connor with a reprimand
for defense lawyers.
Hockstein. one Of the Is lieutenants
of Eller in the bloody twentieth ward,
over WHICH EAieT TelSne0 as ReQuW1car
boss" and where most of the primary
day disorder, including one Staying
occurred, maintained the case against
the defendants and against Morris Ell.
Ter. and his son. Judge Emanuel Eller
also indicted, was framed by Sheridan
Bruseaux, Investigator for the prosecu.
ton.
Hockstein's declaration that he could
have made deal' when he went tc
visit Stansbury brought a new howl Of
protest from both State and prosecu-
tion and was followed by a declaration
by Edwin j. Raber, examining attorney
| for the State, that Hockstein himself
was trying to evolve a frame-up. This
HockStein hotly denied.
HockStein maintained the violence in
the twentieth ward on primary day was
the work Of enemies of the Ellers, who
desired to shift responsibility for the
disorder onto their shoulders. The Ell
lerS have obtained separate trials.
Order and good humor was restored
| in court when the State began uues-
tioning Hockstein about half a dozen
political jobs he had said he held at
one time or another.

WITNESSES UPHOLD

Care of Insane.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
RALEIGH, n. C, November IL
Testimony in the trial of Dr. A. B. An
derson. superintendent of the State
Hospital for the Insane, on charges of
embezzlement and malfeasance in Office
had been concluded when Superior
Court adjourned late today until Mon
day. after another session that saw
a parade of witnesses, technical and
character, take the stand for the de-
fendanJ.
Judge w. A. Devin. presiding. fixed
the maximum time for argument at
seven hours for the defense and five
hours for the prosecution, and said that
use all the time allowed he would hold
a session Monday night so that he
might begin his charge Tuesday after
noon and give the case to the jury be-
fore night.
Counts Eliminated.
Solicitor L. S. Brassfield agreed to
elimination of three Of the fifteen
counts in the bill of indictment. One
was a charge of malfeasance in Of
flee in connection with the death of
Mrs. Lilly F. Nelson, Harkers Island,
who died at the institution on Janu-
utS Il 1910 NLidlSC Nao Will
drawn, he said. because malfeasance
in Office is a misdemeanor and the
statute Of limitation on misdemeanors
is two years. The prosecution also
agreed to eliminate two counts on the
bill charging James Adams, superin-
tendent of the institutions farm. with
working inmates on his private prop
erty. Adams Is co-defendant with An
derson on two indictments charging
enbeZzlement of hospital property.
A group of former or present en-
ployes of the institution was called hv
the defense today and testified that DR.
Anderson had not permitted his busi-
ness ventures to interfere with his du-
ties as head of the hospital. without
exception they declared he had never
neglected patients nor been remiss in
his duties.
Approves Accounts
Henry Burke of the State Budget Bu-
reau testified that he had examined and
approved from time to time the ac-
counts of the institution and had found
them properly kept.
TeStifying as experts, Dr. H. c. Henry.
superintendent of the Virginia Hospi-
tai for the Negro Insane at Petersburg,
Va; Dr. James K. Hall of Richmond,
Va. and Dr. Charles H. OIaughing-
house State health officer, each declared
he was familiar with the institution
here and said its administration COM
pared favorably with other institutions

been negotiated and signed by the
great powers of the world In conjunc-
zion with the United States Chairman
Boraf of the foreign relations COM
mittee is hearty believer in this
treaty. So far no opposition to its
ratification has been announced by
members of the Senate, although op-
position to it has been manifested in
some of the daily newspapers. There
is not the slightest doubt but what
the treaty will be ratified once it is
brought to a vote. but If controversy
develops in the Senate over the treaty
1t may be impossible to get final action
on 1t at the coming short session.
If President Coolidge sends the treaty
to the Senate as soon as that body con-
venes. it will be taken up promptly
by the foreign relations committee and
reported out with as little delay as pos
sible. Senator Borah believes that. as
the United States has been a prime
mover in this treaty. the United States
should not wait upon other nations to
ratify it. but should act promptly on
| the treaty.
In some quarters there is a DISPOSE
ton to avoid special session of Con-
gress on the theory that the incoming
President should have time to get firmly
seated and established in the admins
tration of the Government before he Is
called upon to deal with Congress and
legislation. But against this is the
fact that Mr.. Hoover is no stranger
either to administration of the Govern
ment~ or to Congress. Other newly
elected Presidents have seen fit to call
special sessions of Congress Immediately
otter their entry into office. President
Wilson called such a session soon after
he went into Office in 1918. and Presi-
dent Harding called Congress together
to deal with postwar problems in 1921.

The scope of the new convention,
