BONDSMEN ARE
ORDERED AWAY
FROM COURTS
Point Blank EdiCt Issued by
Judges Wetter and
Cameron.

Professional bondSmen must con-
fine their activities to their offices,
many of which face police head
quarters on South Alabama street,
two municipal judges informed
them Monday.
Addressing more than a dozen
bondsmen in municipal court three
late Monday, Judges Clifton R.
Cameron and Paul G. Wetter de-
clared they would not permit them
to loiter in corridors adjoining GRIM
inal and municipal courts.
In January, Governor Harry @.
Leslie changed Judge Cameron and
Wetter to the civil division Of city
courts, placing Judges Thomas E.
Garvin and Dan v. White on the
criminal benches, with orders to rid
the courts of bondsmen-attorney
combinations that had been called
to the Governors attention.
Since Judges Cameron and Wet
ter returned to the criminal courts
last spring, bondsmen and lawyers
gradually have returned to their
former habits, it has been rumored.
Given Direct Orders
Judge Cameron first spoke to the
bondsmen, admonishing them to
stay away from corridors near his
court. explaining that while he
wished to impose no hardships he
wanted them to play square.
Judge Wetter talked more direct
Iy than his colleague.
"The time has come for drastic
action. There will be no loafing in
halls around my court" he declared.
"You have offices. Use them. From
now on, tax receipts will not be
honored when q bond is signed.
Either bring in the deed to your
property or furnish cash bond"
"Let your presence at this meet
ing be made known by your alb
sence around this building, starting
Tuesday. If you fail to obey these
orders you won't be allowed to sign
bonds"
Wetter AmpIifies Orders
Judge Wetter said he would in
vestigate a report Of another lawyer
bondsman combination, and indi-
Gated lawyers who frequent police
headquarters will receive a similar
lecture from the judges later this
week.
Today Judge Wetter amplified his
orders, with a statement that in the
future no money will be paid a
bondsman or lawyer by a prisoner
under arrest, except on written Or
der of the prisoner, approved by the
judge.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. Six
hundred rescuers battled today to
stem the current of suburban
canal, which was crushing NJ. A.
Danese, elderly diver, trapped
twenty-five feet below the surface.
A faint tug at a life line told
rescuers that Danese still is alive,
after more than twenty-four hours
in the currents grip, wedged be-
tween pilings of a pumping station.
The one chance that the 63-year-
old divers life might be saved
seemed to hinge on whether pile
driver could sink pilings in tenn
porary dam fast enough to stem the
current in the next few hours.
Toll Through Night
RescuerS toiled during the night
under the glare of torches and con-
tinue their battle through the day.
A barge sunk as basis for the dam,
failed materially to lessen the cur
rents force.
DaneSe went below at 1880 a. m.
Monday in an effort to repair a leak
in sheet piling through which
water was seeping into the pumping
station.
I'll be up for dinner" he said
as he waved good-by to his son.
who was holding the surface end of
the life line. He previously had
made four trips below the surface.
The job was nearly done.
Sons Stay on Scene
A minute later young Danese, bal
ancing precariously in a small skiff,
nearly was thrown into the water
by a sudden pull.
Then came five tugs, the distress
signal.
Danese, his body battered against
the piling, was calling for more air.
HE has on only helmet" young
Danese said. HE does not wear q
complete suit, and the force of the
current is beating him against the
piIing."
The divers two sons have not
left the scene since their father
sank.
Although unable to help himself
in any way, Danese signaIed from
time to time through a second line
sent to him down the air hose.
Signals Become Fewer
Cheerily and often at first he
told the waiting men above, "All's
we'll"
But today the signals were fewer.
A marker and slate were lowered
to him. When they were hoisted
to the surface the slate held the
one word, barely distinguishable,

Danese has one gnarled finger on
his left hand. The rest were crushed
in a former battle with currents.
That one finger is curved around
the guide line.

COX QUITS IN
Jury QUIZ OF
VOTE FRAUDS
Special Prosecutor BIameS
Council Fund Denial for
Resignation.
THREE CASES QUASHE0
Stark Drops Charge
Against All but One of
Four Officials.

Earl r. Cox resigned today a;
special prosecutor in the grand jury
probe of corruption in the primary
election.
Blaming the county council and a
political faction for failure to pro-
vide funds for carrying on the probe
Cox, a Democratic attorney, SUBJ
mitted his resignation to Criminal
Judge James A. Collins who APP
pointed him.
Cox served in the grand jury
chambers deSing June and July
after Prosecutor JudSon L. Stark
had been unseated by the jury. 1t
is known Cox has not been before
the grand jury since it convened
last week after summer vacation
Waits Decision on Pay
1.-THE council does not desire a
thorough and adequate investiga-
ton of alleged illegal voting Of the
primary, or it is wholly uniformed
as to the method and manner
whereby competent Investigations
are conducted" Cox declared in a
statement setting forth reasons for
his resignation.
In view of this attitude of the
council and the apathy and indif-
ference on the part of the general
public toward such an inveStiga-
ton, I do not feel anything can be
accomplished by continuing this in
vestigation."
At a hearing before Judge Col
Inns Monday decision will be made
on what pay Cox is to receive for
work he has done in the probe.
Refused Fund Request
Blame on the council hinged
around their refusal to grant a
request of the jury and Cox for
$4,000 to continue the probe to an
end. without these funds the in
vestigation could not be completed,
Cox said in his resignation.
When the January grand jury
was discharged in June after a SIX
weeks probe of election conditions,
if reported to Collins that corrup-
ton. fraud and deceit dominated
the primary election. The jury re-
turned no indictments.
The succeeding grand jury was
charged with finishing the PROBE,
and was in session two weeks before
the summer vacation. The grand
Jurors we're reported reliably as be-
iievi,,o the probe should be dropped.
succeeding grand jurors were crltl-
cised for passing the buck, II was
reported.
Probe May Be Dropped
Whether Collins will demand con-
tinuation of the probe and appoint
another special prosecutor was not
made known today. 1t was SAID,
however, the investigation may pc
dropped with blame placed upon
the Coffin G. o. P. group.
On the heels of Cox's resignation,
Prosecutor Stark nolle pressed
action against three Of four poll
officials charged with violation OF
officials duties. They were: Z. W.
Hoover, j. D. Andrews and M. u
Lyons.
John L. Benz. 3425 North Illinois
street, is the only member OF the
quartet to be prosecuted, and new
afidayit was filed against him on
similar charges. Stark said there
was insufficient evidence to con-
Wet the others.
