Arrest Of Veterans Seeking Freight

EAST ST. LOUIS, NJ, May % (R.-
The 342 unemployed World War vet
Grams, mostly from Oregon, who still
hope to ride Baltimore g. Ohio freight
train to Washington to urge pending
bonus legislation, moved their camp to-
day and waited developments.
Also waiting developments were Bal
timore & Ohio officials, the East st.
Louis police department and the sheriff
Of st. Clair County. The railroad has
demanded the arrest of all the veterans
for trespasS and interfering with oper-
alton Of freight train after they made
futile efforts yesterday to hop a train.
The five policemen detailed to the
camp declined to attempt the arrests
unless their chief, who was reported to
be out of town, ordered the action.
The former soldiers had announced
they expected to have about eight
empty box cars attached to an east
bound train yesterday, so they could
ride in comfort. When the B. 81 o.
appeared unenthusiast.c. the veterans
scrambled aboard a freight train short
ly after 8 pm. Just as it was ready to

Special Dispatch to The Star.


CUMBERLAND, Md, May 23-The
full bench of the fourth judicial circuit
Of Maryland, Chief Judge D. Lindley
Sloan and Associate Judges Albert A.
Doub and Frank G. Wagaman today
sustained the demurrer Of the defense
to the indictment against State Bank
ing Commissioner George W. Page,
charging malfeasance, but overruled the
demurrer to the indictment against
Page and State Senator Emory L.
Coblentz. president of the closed Gen.
tral Trust Co. Of Frederick The mo-
ton for bill Of particulars also was
granted.
The demurrer of the State to the
plea Of abatement made by the defense
In two cases was sustained These are
the depository cases, involving the
charge that Coblentz and other off,
cials accepted deposits when they knew
the Central Trust Co. was insolvent.
These cases have tentatively been set
for trial Wednesday and 46 witnesses
are to be summoned.
The demurrer sustained in the Page
indictment was that facts set up did
not constitute an offense under the laws
Of Maryland. 1t had been held by the
defense that Page might have erred in
permitting the sale and transfer Of
assets OF the washington Trust Co. to
the Central Trust Co., but it was not
an indication of corruption or any con-
spiracy to defraud.
Fourteen more indictments found by
the Carroll County court in these cases
were received here today. Twelve in
volve charges against Coblentz, one
against State Banking Commissioner
Page and one against Coblentz and
other banking officials jointly.

SHERWOOD CALLED !
WALKERS AGENT
Seabury Reveals 49 Letters
Touching on Duties Of
Missing Witness.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May pa series Of 40
letters purporting to show that from
October. 1925, to July. 1881, just q
month before he disappeared, Russell
T. Sherwood, missing witness, trans
acted all Of Mayor James ]. Walkers
business at New York bank, we're
introduced as evidence at the legislative
city investigation hearing by Samuel
Seabury today.
AS the last public hearing before the
mayor himself takes the stand got under
way Seabury introduced witnesses and
documents in support Of his contention
that the missing Sherwood, who has
been hunted all through the United
States and Mexico, was the mayors
business agent.
William Ulgright, a bank teller, was
shown a photograph Of Sherwood and
was asked if it was not a picture of a
man who had frequently made deposits
for Walker in the Chatham -Phenx
National Bank. He was not certain, he
said.
Letters Put in Record.
The bank mentioned in connection
with the 40 letters was the Federation
Bank and Trust Co., and j. C. Jacoby,
jr., formerly treasurer, identified them.
They were not read aloud, but were
introduced into the record, Seabury re-
marking:
They show that Sherwood deposited
money in the mayors account and
transacted all his business with the
bank from October %, 1925, up to and
including July 8, 1891
An employe of another bank testified
that in May. 1927, the mayor borrowed
$4,000, putting up STA shares OF
Silver King Products Corporation stock
as collateral, and Seabury read to the
committee letter purporting to be
from Walker instructing a broker to
turn the stock over to Sherwood so
that he might take it to the bank.
Armed with the accounts, Seabury
prepared a new onslaught on Walker
as the investigation swept to a climax
Wednesday walker takes the stand
to defend himself. 1t is expected to be
one of the memorable tits Of New
York's history.
AS SeaDury ana his men worked
furiously preparing their case, there
came a disclosure that a six-week
trip Mayor Walker and party took to
Europe in 1927 cost $4,000 or more.
OF this $4,000 was accounted for at
public hearings last week. Seabury in
troduced evidence to show that pro-
moter of the Equitable Coach Co., for
which the mayor signed a franchise,
purchased $4,000 bank credit for the
trip. The mayors friends contend,
however the money came from members
of the party, not from the bus promoter.
Yesterday Dr.. Herbert Adams Glib
bons, historian, made statement which
was interpreted by newspapers as in
dicating the $4,000 was only for In
cidental expenses.
DR.. Gibbons said the late Rodman
Wanamaker, for whom he acted paid
the mayors travelling and hotel expenses
through England, Germany and France,
amounting to $4,000 or more.
1T was Mr. Wanamaker's own idea
that the mayor should take the trip
abroad in order to see housing condi-
tions, parks and so FORTH said DR..
Gibbons.
