SMITH CASE DELAYED.
Counsel for officials Arranges Post
pOnement of Arraignment.

Coincident with the. filing today of
motions to quash the subpoenas served
on three officials of the F. H. Smith
Co. in the bankruptcy case, Wilton j.
Lambert, attorney for the Smith Off
Gals, announced that he had obtained
indefinite postponement of the arraign-
ment of his clients on the charge of
using the mails to defraud.
1t also was learned today that Repre-
sentative Frederick N. Zihlman, chair
man of the House District committee,
who served on the board of directors
of the Smith Co., had accepted legal
service in receivership case against
the company. Mr. Zihlman was served
today at his home in the Fairfax Apart
ments as a defendant in the case by
Deputy United States Marshal John J.
Clarkson. The receivership case, which
will be heard tomorrow before Justice
Wheat, was filed by Attorney w Gwynn
Gardiner, who represents four Smith
Co. bondholders.
Motions to Be Drawn This Week.
The grand jury, on December 10. re-
turned indictments on the illegal use OF
the mails charge against seven Smith
Co. officials, five of whom are repre-
scented by Mr.. Lambert and Rudolph
H. Yeatman. They were to have been
arraigned Thursday, but this prelimi-
nary step was put off when Mr.. Lam
bert advised the district attorney and
the Department of Justice that he in
tends to file motion to quash the in
dictmentS. 1t is expected that these
motions, which probably will be dawn
up this week, will be heard be - a
new date Is set for arraignment.
Those under indictment are Mr.
zihlman, Daniel Crissinger, G.. Bryan
Pitts, Samuel j. Henry, c. Ebert Ana
dale, John H. Edwards, jr., and Henry
c. MadduX.
Zihlman and Maddux are not repre-
sented by the firm of Lambert and
Yeatman, but their arrangement also
was postponed in order that all seven
defendants might appear in court to-
gether.
The motions to quash the subpoenas
in the bankruptcy case, which involves
the Boyle-Robertson Construction Co,
! were filed In behalf of Pitts, Edwards
and Anadale. The subpoenas sought to
| compel their appearance before the
| referee in bankruptcy as witnesses.
Legal Point Is Raised.
The three defendants named were
served with the subpoenas when they
came to Washington from New York
| on December IL, to post bond on the
charge of using the mails to defrand
They refused to accept service.
The court is asked to declare this
attempted service invalid primarily on
the grounds that the three men came
| to Washington in answer to criminal
process, and that they could not legal
| iy be served with subpoenas in any
other case while so engaged.
The motions allege that the United
States Government insisted that the
defendants appear in the District Su-
preme Court to surrender to the proper
authorities on the indictments, and that
they were advised that II they did not
appear bench warrants for their arrest
In New York and return to Washington
would be issued"

ENTERS DEATH CASE.
Kin Say Marks Were Found
on Throat of Mrs. Drey-
fus on Funeral Day.

Investigators from the Office of United
States Attorney Leo A. Rover today were
attempting to confirm alleged state
mentS of relatives of Mrs. Aurelia
Fischer Dreyfus that f1ngerprints were
found on the throat of the attractive
young divorce the day after she was
killed in a plunge from a balcony at
the Potomac Boat Club october 20.
A group of afidavits submitted to
Rover by relatives of Mrs. Dreyfus have
resulted in the institution of an investi-
CATION by the United States attorney to
determine whether a grand jury should
delve into the case to learn whether
the woman was murdered. Relatives
charged in the afidavits that Mrs.
Dreyfus was afraid she would be slain
because she knew too much about the
murder of Dot King, Broadway chorus
girl.
Was Mystery Witness.
Mrs Dreyfus, it has become known,
was the mysterious blonde" who testi-
fed in the Dot King case. Her story
established an alibi for albert E. Gui-
mares, Porto Rican gigolo. who was ar
rested because he was known to have
been friendly with Dot King. Mrs.
Dreyfus is understood to have testified
that she was with Guimares and Ed
mund j. McBrian, New York broker, in
Guimares' apartment when Dot King
was slain.
Relatives told Rover Mrs. Dreyfus had
confessed to them that McBrian made
her establish the alibi for his close
friend Guimares. McBrian was Mrs.
Dreyfus' lover and welded a great in
f1uence over her. the relatives commended.
McBrian is the same man who was
with Mrs. Dreyfus shortly before she
met death. He was taken into custody
by Washington police, only to be re-
leased after he convinced them he had
been in another part of the club in
search of Mrs. Dreyfus' wraps when
she plunged from the 20-foot balcony.
Death Held Accident.
A coroner's fury exonerated McBrian,
deciding Mrs. Dreyfus' death was the
result of an accident
Relatives attached importance to
their claims that finger marks were
IounQ on MRS. DreyIuS throat the DAY
of her funeral. They explained that
the marks did not become visible at
the time of the woman's death Those
close to Mrs. Dreyfus also are under
stood to have charged in affidavits that
McBrian had struck Mrs. Dreyfus fire.
quently and had threatened her on va
rious occasions.
Copies of the affidavits have been
forwarded to New York by Rover.
While the United States attorney was
reluctant to discuss the case, 1t was
understood that he thought New York
authorities might be able to solve the
Dot King case II able to confirm in
formation they contained
Meanwhile, news dispatches from
New York reported that Guimares' at
torney had promised to produce his
client any time he was requested to
do so.

A telephone call from st. Joseph to

day sent police to the home of Free
man Weise after operators had excit-

"Can't get near the house. Every

Weise, to whom the call was made,
said that his son, Freeman, jr., had
gone to st. Joseph when they learned of
Burke's expose. Weise had sold Burke
the house in which the arsenal" of
machine guns and repeating rifles was
found. He became worried because
Burke had given him only $1,000 down

with the fashlight. Then they drew the
floating portion Of the dinghy to the boat and,
using it as a raft, loaded it with their clothes
SO that they would be dry when they reached
shore. Then they dropped gently over the
side of the Skiddoo and swan toward the
shore, pushing the makeshift raft ahead of
them. Soon they felt the sandy Bottom under
their feet, and they were able to wade the rest
of the distance to the beach. Turning they
made sure that they knew just where the sail
boat was riding, and then, having donned
trousers, sweaters and shoes, they made for the
bank CT the little stream.
That doesn't look deep enough to handle
the Powell cruiser" whispered Ted, but it
may have a better channel than we think
And of course, none Of those motor boats has
keel like our sailboat"
1t was no easy job to follow the bank of the
, stream in the darkness and after they came
to the woods little farther inland, it was
doubly hard to keep from making much noise
But they plodded on as quietly as they could,
keeping silent, fully aware that they were on
dangerous quest.
They had followed the stream for almost
quarter OF a mile when Ted suddenly clutched
Harrys arm
Light ahead" he breathed in an undertone
Now they moved with even greater caution.
Five minutes later they reached the edge Of q
clearing, and there in the dim light they saw q
sight that stopped them breathlesS with excite
ment. An old dilapidated house stood close to
the bank of the stream. About the clearing
the woods were thick, 50 that the place was
afforded perfect concealment, and the only ap-
proach, other than by the stream, was q narrow
wagon track that evidently led out to a high
way. But what caught the attention Of the
boys was, first of ALL big boat that had been
pulled ashore and prOpped up ON the edge of
the stream.
There's the Powell cabin cruiser" whis-
pered Harry. And see, they are repainting
it,"
Eyes, and those two boats in the water are
the Francis III and the other stolen runabout,
as sure rs you're alive" said Ted Harry,
we've found the lair of the boat thieves, all
right"
And now vhat?" questioned Harry.
Lets get up to the house, If we can. and
see what's inside" suggested Ted. Harry
agreed, and they made for the window from
which light was streaming forth. In moment
they were looking into a room bare Of furni-
ture but piled to the ceiling all around with
wooden boxes and cases
"Golly!' exclaimed Ted in an awed whisper.
II see 1t all now. These men must be snug
glers or rum-runners They stole those fast
boats to use in bringing the stuff across from
Canada. III bet they store it here and then
haul it away by truck"
Harry had no time to answer for at that
moment they saw a door into the room open,
and hard looking, roughly dressed man en-
tered.

it had been completely crushed and had al
ready sunk save for one portion that still
fioated with the tow rope attached to it. But
they forgot to mourn over the loss of much of
their provisions in the excitement of discussing
the unlghted speed boat.
I'm sure that was one of the stolen boats"
said Ted positively. I'D know that speeder
anywhere"
But this boat was black and the Francis III
was light brown" protested Harry.
They've repainted it, said Ted "Natu-
rally they would, after stealing it. Harry, I'll
bet you a dollar we've run upon those boat
thieves, and they hang out in that little cove
up the shore 1t sounds to me as though their
boat put In there"
Il thought so, too" agreed Harry. "And
now the point is, what are we going to do?
I'd say it wasn't too safe for us around here
for those robbers won't want us to be finding
out who they are
i think they ran close to us on purpose to
see who we WERE" said Ted. They have no
way Of knowing we are from Thomas Harbor
so they probably aren't worrying about U.S.
And I'D sure like to get a look in that cove
and see If they have the other stolen boats
there"
After considerable discussion, the boys hit
upon plan. They would try to get their own
motor working, so they could get away in a
hurry If necessary. Then they would work In
as close to shore as possible anchor there, swim
to the beach and approach the cove by land
This was their only choice, now that the dinghy
was lost, and 1t was also the safest way to
proceed.
Ted at once set about working on the motor,
but he was handicapped by lack of light, and
1t was slow process Meanwhile Harry spread
little sail, and taking advantage of each little
gust OF the fitful breeze, gradually worked the
boat toward shore. Before long the moon
came out from behind cloud for moment
and ne was able to make out that the cove
really was the mouth of stream of some SIZE
Whne most OF the shore was wooded, with low
olu1s, the beach was fiat and bare at the
stream mouth, but farther inland the trees
were thick and black
II they have those boats hidden here, Ted"
said Harry, they must have been able to get
them upstream for quite little distance"
But at that moment Ted uttered a gr,nt of
satisfaction. He had just discovered an OBJ
struction in the gasoline feed line and felt sure
the motor trouble was now removed
But I don't dare start It to find out" he
said. They would surely hear us, which
wouldn't be exactly healthy for U.s."
few moments later they heard their keel
scraping on sand bar. At once they dropped
anchor The shore, nearly as they could
judge, was little more than a hundred yards
distant Taking off their shoes, trousers and
sweaters they bundled them up carefully along
