killing of Lamar Watson York, a pro-
hibition officer April IL last in Brooks
Court, is charged in motion for a new
trial filed this afternoon by Attorney
Bertrand Emerson, jr., on behalf Of
Milton Guy.
Attached to the motion is an
affadvit Of George j. Sanderson, a taxi
cab driver, that he had Otto A.
SchoepS member or the jury, as a
passenger in his cab Saturday evening,
July IL, two days before rendition of
the verdict, and that they discussed the
case on trial.
The passenger, he swears, preached
the subject with an inquiry of what
do you think Is going to be the OUT
come of the case of the three colored
fellows held for the death of the pro-
hibition agent?"
Says Opinion Was Given.
When the driver had declared he did
not know, the juror is said to have

DiscIaimea by Juror.
Assistant United States Attorney Will
liam H. Collins, who conducted the

charge misconduct against the juror
and called to his Office yesterday all the
members of the panel who convicted
the three colored men and asked each
one individually concerning any viola
ton of the courts instruction not to
talk to any one during the trial about
the case. Each juror assured him, he
says, that he did not violate the in
junction OF the court.
Other reasons assigned for new
trial by Emerson 0re errors of the trial
justice in admitting and rejecting evil
dence offered and the refusal to grant
a motion to acquit Guy.

expected to file similar motions before

He said he had become acquainted
with bis woman companion in Philadel-
pRlia and had taken a bus with her as
Tar IS Syracuse. where they were joined
~ another couple with whom the girl
was friendly.
4 The four drove from Syracuse to

cuse, but Barrere and the woman OBJ

Declares He Planned Deal.
Barrere declared he had "a $4,000
deal on" involving the sale OF some
novelties at border points, and that he
lost that amount OF money when the
plan collapsed.
Details of this deal were not cleared
up. Inspector Foucault said Barrere
had no money on him when arrested
and the woman said she had been
paying the pairs expenses.
AS the grtlling of the prisoner con-
tinued today it became apparent that
Cloth and Kelly were more and more
puzzled over the mans attitude.
INCREASING oOuDC as TO BarfereS con-
nection with the murder was written
on the fIrrowed browS of his QueStioners
and was limited in their comments dur
ing brief rest periods.
Cloth said Barrere Stolidly contended
he knew nothing whatever about Mary
Baker or her death, except what he
had read. He denied ever having had
q gun of Herbert Campbell in his pos
session and when Cloth. seeking to
trick the prisoner. implied that Barrere's
fngerprintS had been found on the
weapon, which is not the fact, Barrere
waved his hand and laughed outright.
IF my fngerprintS are on that gun,
ats q miracle, Barrere said because /

AS the officers wearied' of their in
QUESTION, they virtually came to a de-
ciSion to remain overnight in New York,
in which event they would resume the
journey to Washington early tomorrow

York at GAS o'clock tonight. Cloth
pointed out it would be impossible to
sleep on the train with the prisoner
IN their compartment. In New York

IN HOWELLS CASE
Woman Found Guilty of En-
bezzIement and Larceny
on is Counts.
lFrom Yesterdays $50 stsrN

NrTOm ISSIeTQaS o-oU GtHTJ
Miss Elzina Howells, 48 years old,
faces possible sentence ofa,i6o years
in the penitentiary as the result of a
verdict rendered this afternoon by a
jury of seven women and five men in
Criminal Division !, Justice Jesse G.
Adkins presiding.
The jury found the woman guilty on
all Is counts of an indictment which
charged her In eight counts with en-
beZzlement and in eight other counts
with the larceny after trust Of $500
instructed to her for stock speculations
by Miss Irene Biggs and Miss Lillian
Girard, nurses residing at the Toronto
Apartments, between December 10, 1923,
and June 81, 1929 The maximum SEN
tence on each count Is 10 years i'm
prisonment.
Miss Howells took the witness stand
in her own defense earlier in the day.
She claimed that the money was Dor
rowed from the nurses and that the
whole transaction was civil one and
relied on note which she had given
the nurses, which purported to become
due last February, many months later
than the time lid in the indictment.
Miss Howells declared that she had
borrowed $500 from the two women on
the first day of their acquaintance. She
admitted on crosS-eXamination by coun-
sci for the Government that she had
been convicted Of larceny at Auburn,
N. Y, and sentenced to serve IA months
imprisonment in 1915. She admitted
drawing checks for the complimentary"
European trip on which the nurses said
she sent them and giving them q
letter of credit totaling 1900 when she
had only 1920 in her checking &C
count. She declared she had expecta-
tions that the overdraft would be taken
care Of, but was not explicit as to who
was to do this.

fendant.

to the Saul Co. to have the first trust
renewed.
Mr.. Jacobs, who acted as trustee for
his company, said when the Saul Co.
learned of these irregularities" it
severed its business relations with the
Shapiro firm.
The company had found out that
sales had been made and that its liens
had not been paid. he said.
I'm other words, the Shapiro Co. was
imposing on you and others?" Senator
Vandenburg interrupted
THAT is right" Jacobs replied, ex-
planning that since that time his firm
has had no financial dealings with the
Shapiro Co. except in clearing up its
existing loans.
Mr.. Jacobs testified further that early
last Winter there had been conferences
between creditors of the Shapiro firm,
but he did not press inquiries into
Shapiro'S affairs because his firms notes
were secured. Under close examination,
he said that he had never made in
quiries as to whether Shapiro had sold
houses on which Saul Co. held liens.
Creditors Are Called.
The first of the creditors conferences,
he said, had been called by Julius Peyser,
president of the Security & Commercial
Savings Bank. The conferences de-
veloped, he said, that the Shapiro firm
apparently was in financial difficulties.
THAT was generally KNOWN" he ex-
planned.
Attorney Brinkman at times chal-
lenged testimony given by the mortgage
officer. When Jacobs said he had not
learned of the financial difficulties Of
the Shapiro firm until the creditors
meeting, the attorney produced two
letters, written year before, threaten
ing foreclosure If Shapiro did not pay
back interest on certain mortgages
Jacobs said he thought the Shapiro firm
was merely temporarily embarrassed at
the time.

for the Government" Mrs. Smith said
she told him she did not know the
