objected strenuously to Justice Hitz. He
pointed out that the defense did not OBJ
ject to any testimony Malone could give
as to matters of record, but that 1t did
object strenuously 20 any recapitulation
by him. After asheated dispute between
counsel on this point, Justice Hitz sus-
MaloneS then went into detailed de-
scrtption OF another transaction trlvolv-
ing @. Bryan Pitts.
$16,5OO Cashiers Check.
"On January 5. 1925" he said, "there
was deposited to Pitts credit in the
Commercial National Bank an item of
2c,000. On that same date q cashiers
check for SI6,50O was issued by the
bank to Miss z. c. Bowling, former
smith Co. employe, and paid for by the
Smith Co. A similar cashiers check
Tor "a 500 was issued by the same, bank
that day to another eFnploye. and also
paid for by the Smith Co..
Miss Bowling testified earlier in the
week that in the late Summer or early
Fan OF 1928 she had been asked by
an of1c1al OF the Smith Co. to in
dorse the cashiers check for $4,000
made payable to her. She testified that
she did indorse the check and gave
it back to the official, but that She
never received any of the money called
for by the check and that it was not
due her.
Malone's attempt to explain the sig
nif1cance of these transactions also was
cut short by the court. for the same
reasons advanced in the earlier argu-
ment on this point
It required an hour and a half this
morning for the witness to dispose of
3 of the 95 alleged acts of embezzle-
ment in his direct testimony If he
takes up all of the items In as much
detail he will be on the stand at least
a week before being turned over to the
defense for croSS-examination.
S5sO,OOO Deposits Claimed.
E. j. Armbruster, agent Of the Bureau
of Investigation, specializing in ac-
counting, yesterday told the jury that
Pitts had deposited a total Of ap-
proximately $530000 on Al different
occasions in the Southern Maryland
The individual deposits ranged from
$4,000 to $4,000, the witness said.
Each of the items was listed in bill
of particulars furnished the defense,
and the Government says 1t will prove
the money was embezzled from the
funds Of the Smith Co.
One of the features of Administers
testimony was his description of the
manner in which he reconstructed"
record of Pitts deposits in the trust
company.
1.-THE regular bank ledger sheets COW
ering Pitts account had disappeared
when I went to the bank" he declared.
Therefore, took the daily proofsheets
of the bank. beginning as far back as
January. 1926. and checked every de-
VN0cft made Siran that TINA until had
found every deposit made by or for
Pitts" The witness said this was pos
sible in small institution, but would
have been out of the question in a
larger bank because of the great num-
Der of depoSitors.

fiscal year. This amount would enable
him to increase the number Of agents
from about $500 to 1900, assign 200
special men for big conspiracy cases,
and continue the "a instructors who are
now teaching agents throughout the
country how to enforce the laws.
THE promotion of some of the more
eficient agents to positions as special
agents has depleted the staff in several
districts. Between 10 and IA vacancies
in Baltimore were filled recently from
civil service eligibles in Philadelphia
brought in because the list OF elig1bles
from the District Of Columbia had been
exhausted.
Rum Runners Caught.
The report given Col. Woodcock today
by Blanford and Ford was prepared
after the two men visited all the out
posts thrown out in the three counties.
The drive assumed greater signif-
canoe as q fact-flnding effort because
It Is being carried on by force three
times larger than the normal staff
that enforces the law in five counties
instead of three. The agents are not
working in Calvert and Montgomery
Counties and both are in Blanford's
Jurisdiction.
A blockade kept by the Washington
police across six entrances to the Cap
ital Stree Monday has Melted the cap
ture Of two liquor runners and IS cases
of contraband. The result tended to
support Blanford's assertion today that
the rum runners are keeping under
cover.
I'VE Travelled the roads all night
Wednesday and after IL o'clock we saw
few automobiles Of any description" he
said. THE bootleggers realize that we
are bound to run across them some
where, some time and the result is that
the now of liquor from Southern Mary
land to Washington has been cut down"
VIII Form New Details.
It was indicated today that one re-
suit of the drive would be the establish
ment of two permanent details Of three
agents In Leonardtown and Waldorf.
Instead of working out Of Washington
as the agents do now, the men would
live at the place of assignment and
work independently.
The Federal agents operating in the
vicinity of Leonardtown destroyed three
stills working in full blast, dynamited
IL other deserted stills and seized 5000
gallons of mash, 20 cases Of assorted
liquors ready for shipment and rs gal
Ions of liquor stored in a ramshackle
barn during the past week, dispatches
to The Star from Leonardtown today
stated.
In the very heart Of Mcintosh Swamp
the raiders found a 5o0-gallon still run
ing in full blast. 1t was dynamlted.
Near the still 20 cases Of liquor were
discovered. Three men were seen to
escape.
Late Thursday afternoon near wal
dorf the agents destroyed 250-gallon
still They found 5000 gallons Of
mash in barrels. Again the operators
Of the still escaped into the woods.
Late last night about three miles from
the still destroyed in Mcintosh Swamp
the raiders dynamited q second 500
gallon still and destroyed 5000 gallons
Of mash. The operators had left.
Seventy-flve gallons Of liquor in jars
was seized when the raiders entered q

Statement of Former Judges
Excoriating Police

Denver. Colo, Oct. 24.-(P)-With
Detective Captain Bert Clark claiming
an admission Of guilt from Mrs. Pearl
OLoughlin in the staying of her 10
year-old stepdaughter, Leona. drowned
in a city park lake, police today
sought a complete solution of the
child-murder mystery.
The investigation was pushed In
the face of a public communication to
the courts. members of the bar, and
the citizens of Colorado" from two
former Justices of the supreme court.
protesting as "inhuman and op-
pressive" police treatment of the wom-
an prisoner.
Police said they were on the verge
Of clearing up the details OF the muir
der yesterday when their questioning
Of Mrs. O'Loughlin was broken off by
a court order admitting her attorney
for a conference with the woman.
Chief Of Police Robert F. Reed said
Mrs. OLoughlin had implicated three
others In the murder. He said the
stepmother. who had been grilled for
five days, finally cried:
II did it, alone am responsible.
Take me out and hang me.
Il did all the cooking at the house.
I cooked rice and the glass -"
Attorney Interrupted
At this point, the chief said, the ar
rival of the attorney interrupted the
statement.
Six persons. including Frank
|O'Loughlin, brother of Leo O'LOughlin,
a city detective and father of the
slain child, were questioned last night.
OLoughlin was taken into custody for
questioning after the prisoner had
said:
why don't you get Frank and give
us/a sanity test? We must be crazy"
Among those questioned were Mrs.
Ethel Spar, beauty parlor operator,
whom Mrs. O'Loughlin said she visited
twice the night Leona disappeared,
and several roomers at the Spar
home. After the questioning, police
said Mrs. O'Loughlin's alibi had been
broken.
District Attorney Earl Wettengell
said again last night he would file
murder charges against the small VIC
TINS stepmother before the hearing
today Of a writ Of habeas corpus.
The girls body was discovered In a
park lake two days after she disap-
peared from home. A quantity of glass
was found in the stomach. On the day
Of her disappearance her father was
stricken by a strange illness. 1t was
caused by eating food In which ground
glass had been placed. Later two FAM
lily pets died. Examination OF their
bodies revealed ground glass.
