FRAME UP HINT
ST|RST TR|ALO
CULL|NANE
2 State Witnesses, Jailed for
Contempt, Accuse Man; us.
Seeks His Identity

Hints of a "frame-up" in the
trial Of jeremiah j. Cullinane,
suspended First precinct police
man on trial in Police Court on
a charge of beating a prisoner,
were seen today when AS
sistant United States Attorney
Michael F. Keogh began an in
vestigation of circumstances
which resulted in the sentenc-
ing Of two Government wit
nesses to jail for contempt of
court.
The imprisoned witnesses are:
Que Johnson and Benjamin
Samuels, both colored.
They were locked up in the
First Precinct station early
Christmas day when Cullinane
is accused of having assaulted
Wilbur A. Hoffman, 614 Massa-
chusetts Ave. N. W., who was
being held on a housebreaking
charge.
Held In Contempt
They we're held in contempt
of court today for remaining in
the courtroom after Judge Isaac
R. Hit had ordered all witnesses
to retire to the witness room.
When the men were discovered
in court, Keogh asked Judge Hit
to give them the severest SEN
tence possible" In sentencing the
men to 48 hours in Jail, Judge
Hit said:
81 am sorry can't give you
30 days"
After the men were incarcer-
ated in the courtroom cell box,
Keogh declared they told him
they retired with the other wit
nesses as ordered but said:
"SOme white man came
around through the hall and
led us back into the court
ROOM"
Keogh Immediately began ef
forts to ascertain the identity of
the man who led the pair from
the witness room, and declared:
"If he is found, the man will
be held to face contempt pre-
ceedingS."
When johnson and Samuels
were sentenced, Judge Hit ruled
that they not be permitted to tes-
tify in the case at all. Since
both clai INTO have been eye-wit-
nesses to the alleged beating of
Hoffman, their removal weakens
the Governments case consider
ably.
Keogh. however, contends that
the incident will not necessarily
prove fatal to his case.
Drunk Plea by Prisoner
The assault is alleged to have
occurred as Hoffman, arrested or
a house breaking charge, was
being transferred from one cell
to another in the police station.
Hoffman testified at the begin
ming of the trial that he was in
a drunken sleep when someone
aroused him and led him from
the cell.
Is More witnesses
He failed to recognize anyone,
he said. until after he received a
blow in the mouth which partly
sobered him. Then he said he
saw Cullinane standing over him.
More than Is witnesses re-
mained to be heard.

Anderson, former American Associa-
ton smuggling outfielder. has been ap-
pointed playing manager of the
Grand Forks club of the newly-or-
ganized Northern Baseball League,
according to r. l.. Voelz, president

was sold to Louisville and played
there on its championship clubs of

lowing three years were spent with
various clubs in the Southern

nediately on the organization and
makeup Of the club at Grand Forks.

Auburn Faces Necessity Of

New York, Dec. 3.-(P)-East, west
and south, scattered few of foot.
balls legions emerged Saturday fol
one more crack at the sports head
lines.
Dominating the program was the
33rd clash of Army and Navy at
Philadelphia with the important
southern conference duel of Auburn
and South Carolina at Birmingham
and the intersectional tussle of Ala
bama and St. Mary's at San Fran
cisco step or two behind.
Both Cadet and Midshipman have
had chance to become accustomed
to defeat this season but all the
pageantry Of any Army-Navy game
and its promise of closely-fought ac-
ton conspired to bring about sell
out" crowd for their battle in Frank
lin field. Every one of the 10000
odd tickets had been disposed of days
ago.
Auburn, undeteated and united.
needed to whip South Carolina to
clinch southern conference cham
pionship honors. A defeat for the
Plainsmen probably would elevate
Tennessee into the title because the
Vols, unbeaten but tied by Wander
bilt, were overwhelming favorites
over Florida in their closing game at
Jacksonville.
Alabama, never beaten in a far
western engagement, was a slight ia
vorite over st. Mary's Gaels, possibly
because of the Crimson Tides ire
mendous show OF power in crushing
Vanderbilt 900 Thanksgiving day.
The south figured in two other in
tersectional duels but with small
hopes that Mississippi could overturn
Tulsa at Tulsa or that Loyola of the
south could whip Detroit at New Or
leans.
Nebraska, Big Six champion, looked
for a victory over Southern Method
st at Dallas, and Frank Carideo's
battered Missouri Tigers closed dis
astrous season against st. Louis.
The eastern program, aside from
the Army-Navy game, included a
charity contest between Manhattan
and Rutgers at New York, the Car
negie Tech-Georgetown clash at
Washington, and the annual battle
between Maryland and Western
Maryland at Baltimore.
The other Pacific coast conference
game involved Washington and the
University of California at Los An

North Dakota State Ekes Out
80 to "a Victory in
Shaky Start

Fargo, N. D., Dec. 3.-(P-The
North Dakota Agricultural college
basketball team opened its campaign
with 1924 victory over the Wahpe-
ton State Science school Quint Friday
night. The Bison held 1914 lead
at the half.
The Bison were hard pushed
throughout the contest. They took the
lead after three minutes of the game
had elapsed but they never were able
to pull out in front by a safe margin
The Wildcats knotted it at 21-au with
10 minutes of the second half gone,
but it was not until the last two min
utes that the Bison were able to pull
away.
Marquardt was the outstanding per-
former for the Bison, with Nicholson
not far behind. Denenny played well
until he was injured in the second
half, and although he continued to
play, was not SO effective as before.
Tom Flynn, Bill Duvall and the two
guards, Willie Anderson and Benny
Ratzlaff, were the main cogs for the
Wildcat machine.
