joint safe deposit box; that Sher- wood made bank deposits for the mayor and carried out other finan. cial transactions, and that he paid out $75,000 for an Unnamed person."
 One of Sherwood's accounts was a secretly anonymous account from which he withdrew quarter of a million dollars cash on the day before Walker sailed for Eu- rope in 1927. Two $25,000 cash deposits had been made in this &C., count at approximately the time Walker received $50,000 cash from the joint stock account he held with Paul Block, publisher.
 Other charges relating to Sher- wood in the case are that the mayor made no effort to bring him back into jurisdiction of the Hof- stadter committee, and that Walk CT did not produce all his own financial records when subpoenaed by Seabury.
 The circumstantial fabric and the element of mystery has made the Sherwood angle of the inves- tigation the most interesting one in the Walker case. Sherwood who fled the state, was found on a honeymoon in Mexico City, and was servxed with summons to appear. Later he was held in con- tempt of court for ignoring the summons and fined $50,000. Still later the federal government sought to investigate his income to determine if he had evaded tax payments.
 In the face of these demands, Sherwood has become Host man" to authorities. Rumors have been spread that he would appear as surprise witness for Walker at this hearing, but even Walker himself has laughed at the idea. Mayor Walker returned here last night from a weekend in Larchmont, N. Y, ready for any thing" as he put it. Just before he departed for Albany he con- ferred with John F. Curry, head of Tammany hall. There was no hint dropped as to the nature of the meeting.
 Returning with the mayor were Curtin, several friends and ad- visors. It was after the party arrival that Curtain hinted of the possible injunction suit to halt the hearing.
 "If,2 Curtin declared, i've de- | eide it is necessary for us to go to court to get justice on these is- sues we will not wait for a deci- sion. To do that would be like locking the door after the horse was stolen" The issues Curtin referred to make up the whole strategy of the Walker defense; namely to de- mand that all witnesses used by Seabury to build up the charges be called again and made to repeat their testimony and face cross I examination by the mayor and his counsel.
 Mayor Goes to Church. Albany, N. Y.. Aug. 15-(UP)- Mayor James J. Walker of New York city observed Feast of As- sumption by attending mass today prior to the opening of the third session of his fight to escape dis missal from office on charges of corruption.
 Walker. who must face Cover nor Franklin D. Roosevelt at the resumption or his hearing this af- ternoon, attended mass at St Mary's Catholic church, around the corner from his hotel.
 It was reported that the Walker forces, led by the fiery Curtin, were planning to bring their own steno. graphic experts ints the proceed ings. According, to gossip about the Capitol, the defense was not satisfied with those now taking the testimony. Whether Roosevelt would let them In was a matter of conjecture.
 This move lent credence to the earlier report that the highly tech. nicai arguments of Curtin on ad. miHsability of evidence were made solely with the thought In mind that should Roosevelt oust Walker on the charges brought by Samuel seabury, groundwork for an appeal
