Of People Is Unsurpassed-Funeral
 Held This Afternoon
 Taken sick while planning his first trip to the Holy Land since he came to New Britain 37 years ago, Benjamin Marholin, an authority on Hebrew biblical questions and 8 writer of distinction, died today at the Hartford hospital after an ill., ness of three weeks duration. He was 67 years old.
 Only recently, MT. Marholin re- ceived his passport and other nec- essary papers for the voyage to Pal estine which, for many years, he had praised in narrative and poetry in the choicest of the old Hebrew language. About four months ago, his health began to fail and his con- dition became more serious a few weeks ago, resulting in his transfer from his home at 31 Dwight street, to the hospital where death came at 12:07 o'clock this morning.
 Noted Hebrew Leader
 A charter member of the Con- gregation Brethren Sons of Israel in 1893 when the first organized He brew congregation was formed, he assumed a role of leadership in re- ligious circles, organized the Tal- mud Torah, the Hebrew school, and was it's first president. and when the Congregation Tephereth Israel came into existence and erected handsome synagogue on Winter street, he became a member of that congregation also.
 Mir. Marholin was born at Vitepsk, Russia. His early education was in the primary schools of that com munity, after which he entered upon a course of training and was gradu- ated from the Talmudical college of Vitepsk. Completing his training in theology, he left his native land for the United States, coming direct ly to New Britain.
 Joins Small Jewish Colony
 When MT. Marholin arrived in this city, he found 24 other Jewish residents His first employment was in the foundry of the Union Manu- featuring Co.,, but he remained there only a few years before entering business at 131 Dwight street. Elev- en years ago he retired to devote his full time to writing.
 A profound student of the He brew Bible, he was regarded as an authority on biblical questions. His writings, all of which were in He brew, were biblical works, which

Young that his evi- dence 14 years ago, which aided in sending Thomas J. Mooney and Warren K. Billings, who were con- victed of causing the deaths of ten persons in the 1918 bombing Of a San Francisco preparedness day parade, was false.

 Macdonald. who says he now de- sires to undo the wrong he has done regardless of the personal con- sequences" was taken into custody Friday evening after his identifica- ton through a photograph published in Baltimore newspaper. For years, he said, the knowledge of what he had done worried him.
 In a sworn affidavit he said his testimony at the trial that he saw Mooney and Billings place a suitcase at the corner where the blast oc- cured was false: that he had nev- CT seen- either of tge two men and that it would be impossible for him to identify them.'
 His affidavit charged he was coached before he took the witness stand, and that he was offered money for his testimony and had his expenses paid during the trial.
 Made Same Affidavit

SPENT S252,500 SHE SAYS
Admits Paying S42.63 Per Thousand for Votes and Contrasts It With S105 Spent for Same Number for Hoover.

Hoover.
 Chicago, July fl P(-Appearing before the senate inquiry into the Illinois republican senatorial cam paign, Ruth Hanna Mccormick to- day defended her personal expendi- ture of s252,5O0 and said an addi- tional s67;214 was used in her be- half by volunteer organizations which supported her campaign.
 Mrs. Mccormick presented a r. 900 word statement in which she criticized Senator Gerald P. Nye, chairman of the special campaign funds committee, for asserung that his investigation had found she had spent approximately s325,oOO in stead Of the s252,5 800 she had re- ported.
 The republican senatorial nomi- nee said Senator Yves statement was inaccurate and misleading, | based on the fact that she volun- tarily had submitted supplemental report setting forth the spending of the s67214 before his investigators had inquired into these expenditures.
 S67,21i Was Contributed
 The s67214 was used by three or ganizations and was obtained by contributions from friends and rela. tives, Mrs. Mccormick said. The Voters Progress league used s44,- 000; the Illinois Young Peoples re- publican clubs S15,00o. and the Ruth Hanna Mccormick Volunteers s. 214.
 Mrs Mccormick said her report of expenses was ' a document which should be sCrutinized by all citizens interested in the problem of cam- paign expenditures. The report for the first time tells the whole story without any confusing complications either as to source of money, the nature of the disbursements, thu exact total expended or as to who spent it.
