SAN FRANCISCO, June 3
G.N.SD "A special session of
the grand jury may be called to
take action in the case of Pub
lie Defender Frank j. Egan, it
was indicated today at the dis
trict attorneys office.
In an almost unprecedented
verdict, a corners jury late yes
terday found that Egan's client,
Mrs. Jessie Hughes, had been
slain and recommended that
Egan and Verne Doran, ex-con-
vict, be held to answer before
a proper tribunal in connec-
ton with the case.
The grand jury ordinarily
meets on Monday night. In
view of the great importance"
of the case, however, efforts may
be made to call the body into
special session before then. Ac-
ton by the grand jury. it was
pointed out, would eliminate the
necessity of issuing coroner'S
warrants for the arrest of Egan

sembled today to pledge funds
with which the city's At

continue operations for an
other month.
On the heels Of a direct plea
to President Hoover for Federal

merchants and political leaders
of the community met to sub
scribe from their personal funds

and the bare necessities of life
to more than 100000 families.
Today's meeting was called by
a group of commercial and civic
leaders headed by Philip r.
Clark, banker.
Prompt action was precipitated
by the report of Wilfred S. Rey-
nolds, executive secretary of the
Illinois Emergency Relief Commits
sion. who said the commissions S
funds are exhausted.
The relief stations. Reynolds
warned, will be closed tomorrow
unless additional money is imme-
diately available.
Phone Call to Hoover
Meanwhile, long distance tele-
phone conversation which Clarke
and his group carried On with
President Hoover was expected to
yield results.
Specifically the President was
importuned to take steps which
would authorize the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation to ex-
tend loans to States and munich
palitieS for purposes of relief.
Hope for Chicago's desperate
plight was seen in word from
Washington that Illinois Sen
atorS, James Hamilton Lewis and
Otis F. Glenn, announced their
intention of introducing legisla-
ton which would legalize relief
loans by the Reconstruction Fl
nance Corporation.

Lion said he was paid usually

operated. A "call" was an option
to take stock at a certain figure.
If the price increased he would
exercise the option, sell the stock

AGENT, HELD
AFTER RAID
Had Loaded Gun When Taken
BY Surprise; Shown in
Headquarters Lineup

NEW YORK, June 3 0.N.S).
Mystery surrounded the ar
rest and appearance in the
lineup at police headquarters
today of Salvatore Spitale,
who was one of the men
named bX Colonel Lindbergh
as his accredited representa-
tive.
Spitale's arrest came within II
hours of his appearance before a
Bronx county grand jury where
he told of his efforts to establish
contact with the kidnapers.
Had Loaded Gun
The negotiator was arrested on
technical charge of violating the
Sullivan act. A loaded .32-caliber
revolver was found in his pos
session, but he showed a permit
signed by Judge William Thorpe,
of Greene county. Police insist
that Spitale's residence is in New
York city which would invalidate
a pistol permit issued up State.
Questioned by Inspector Sulli-
van, Spitale said his legal resi-
dence was in the CatskillS in
Greene county. He is to be ar
raigned in the West Side court
today.
When Spitale and Irving Bitz
we're named by Colonel Lindbergh
after several leading underworld
figures had allegedy refused to
act, disaster was predicted for the
two men. The prominence they
received made them marked men
and the underworld predicted that
the police would henceforth hound
them.
Taken BY Surprise
One woman and five other men
found with Spitale in Times
Square speakeasy were taken in a
surprise raid.
No for: VI charge was lodged
against eith~r Spitale or the
others rounded up. but police
sent them to the police lineup.
Along Broadway, several reports
for the detention we're current,
however. Spitale was said to
be silent partner of Vannie
Higgins, reputed Brooklyn beer
baron, linked with the recent
importation of beer to speak,
easies in Greenwich Village. An,
other was that Spitale was the
real "big shot" back of the
race track pool raided recently.
Among those held were "Abie"
Kettler and Julie Steele. known,
police said, as Julia Behrman,
who was acquitted on a homicide
charge a short time ago.
KettIer Had Pistol
Kettler also was found to pos
sess a pistol. He carried per,
init obtained in Rens ella e +
County.
Over the long distance tele'
phone from Cairo, N. Y, Judge
Thorpe said the pistol permit was
issued to Spitale after a letter
from Police Commissioner Mul
rooney gave "Spitale a clean bill
of health"
The others held we're Edward
Elmer. supposed bartender of the
speakeasy; Denny Lee, fighter;
Joseph Aaron and William Mas
seri, whose occupations could not
be learned.
