STAPLES IS QU|zzED
IN SCR|vENER PROBE
Grand Jury Is Believed to Be
Far From Reaching
Solution of Death.

There were indications today that the
grand jury is far from reaching solu-
ton of the three-year-old Scrivener
death mystery, but that it is not yet
willing to label the case a suicide. There
appeared no possibility of report being
returned by the jury before next week.
Orville Staples, former policeman
who figured actively in the affairs of
the department a few years ago, was
one Of the important witnesses quizzed
today.
The jury is believed to have pressed
Staples for any facts" he may have
had relative to Scrivener'S death. He
Is understood to have told the jury that
he talked to the detective at police
headquarters the night Scrivener was
killed and that on the following day
wearing necktie. Staples said he ar
rested this man on suspicion, because
Scrivener had necktie clutched IN his
hand when his body was found.
Says Scrivener in Good Spirits.
It is believed the jury also ques-
toned Staples at length about his
manner in which Lieut.. Edward j.
Kelly questioned the man he had al =
rested.
Staples said he told them he and
Scrivener converSed on general topics,
and that the detective appeared in good
spirits at the time. He said that, so
far as he knew, the case against the
man he had arrested was handled in
the regular manner Of such cases. He
man had no connection with Scrivener's
death.
Isaac B. Nordlinger, Georgetown
merchant, and Alvin B. Carpenter, In
terror Department employe, also teStl-
fed today.
The jury is understood to have ques-
toned Mr.. Nordlinger, whose home is
in the vicinity of the alley where Scriv-
ener'S body was found, as to whether
he heard any unusual noises on the
night the detective met his death. 1t
is believed that Mr.. Nordlinger an
Swered this question in the negative.
He also is understood to have told the
Jury that he had known Scrtvener for
some time and knew Of no reason why
he should commit suicide.
Mr.. Carpenter is believed to have
testified that he had known Scrivener
for some time, but that he could give
no information which might help In
explaining his death.
J. F. Killeen Is Called.
Morris Bealle and Jack Turner, re-
porters for the Washington Times, teStt-
fed concerning an investigation they
made of the case. Bealle declared that
as a result of their testimony District
Attorney Leo A. Rover planned to call
seven additional witnesses.
John F. Killeen also was called this
morning and asked for any facts he
might have at his disposal. He is I'M
derstood to have said that he knew
nothing about the detectives death.
Inspector E. w. Brown, in charge of
the Traffic Bureau, was the last witness
called today. 1t is believed the jury
questioned him concerning alleged re-
moval of whisky from the property
room at police headquarters
The grand jury's investigation will be
resumed Monday.

Especial to the Iferald)

PlafnNillc, Oct, 22.-The old say ing that it never rains but it pours vas proved very forcibly to Attor- ney Noble F. Pierce of Bristol in the town court this morning during the trial of Fred Bartz of % Molzon place and James LazarSka of Curtiss street, Bristol, on charges of trans portin. liquor.
 The rain was beating heavily against the windows of the court room and Attorney Pierce felt safe and secure from the elements in his chair in front of the judges stand. As the trial progressed, it came to the point where the court desired the evidence to be produced. Prose- cutor Charles F. CcnlOn walked over to the corner of the room and lifted up a five gallon can of alleged al cohol. Just as he was about to place it on the desk in front of At torney Pierce, the can tipped over and the Bristol lawyer was subjected to bath in alcohol.
 Attorney Pierce was caught un- aware and jumped up with a sur prise yell as the front of his suit was drenchcd with the liquor. The court room W2s thrown into fit of laughter as MT. Pierce sputtcrcd and made haste to get away from the spot Even Judge Merritt o. Ryder joined in inc laughter and remarked to MT. Pierce that he had better stay out of a car today or the suspicious smell would bring around his arrest. After about five minutes, the court returned to normal.
 The two Bristol men were arrest = ed early Saturday morning by Con- NadsWorth on charges of trans porting liquor The officers captured them after a chase from Pine and East streets for nearly a half mile. The police had been notified that the car was due to pass the location early in the morning and were on hand to greet the machine.
 As the car approached. Constable Schubert blew his whistle and flashed a light but the Bristol ma chine kept on going. The officers pursued the men and finally after numerous cries to stop and blowing of the whistle succeeded in catching the Bristol car.
 Tn court this worri': considerable liquor was produced as evidence

MARKET RECOVERS
 FROM HEAVY DROP
Trend Turns Upward Again.
 Scores Regain Losses

New York, Oct. 22 P}-After week of severe declines the stock market finally turned upward today, with rebound comparable 10 the sharp upturn which came upon the heels of the drastic reaction Of Oct. ; and 4. Scores stocks sold up from 3 to nearly 30 points, and many re- gained the losses Of the past two sessions.
 Position Corrected
 Traders felt that the violent sweeping out Of weakened margin al accounts in the past two sessions, when trading facilities We're over Whelmed with frenMcd selling, in q large measure had corrected d weak technical position and an inflated price level, and had placed the market once moro on fairly firm footing. Commission house adyic2s generally maintained a rather cau- tious attitude, however, and there was a tendency to look for rather quiet and irregular trading for q time.
 A statement by Charles r.. Mich- i ell, chairman of the National City bank, just returned from Europe, to 1 the effect that he considered the mar, kot had had d healthy reaction an1 that the decline had probably ov.r run itself had salutary effect upon Wall Street sentiment. The days news was largely pleasing, including declaration of a $4 extra dividcnt by Norfolk and Western, several satis- factory earnings statements. c0nSpI- cuous among which were those Of General Electric and American Su- lpcrpower, and approval of a plan by Missouri Pacific directors 10 refunl accumulated preferred dividends.
 Much Of the upturn occurred in the first hour of trading, when shorts rushed to cover in response to the feeling that the market had reached bottom. Trading during the first half hour was almost equal to that of yesterday, but trading quctcd down somewhat a3 the ses- sion wore on.
