The paper says: Kurt HetZel showed
in his playing so much talent for g.
year-old boy that we roresee a great
musical career for him" Mr.. HetZel
had started playing the piano at the
age of five, but was not officially
launched before the public until four
years later. At the age Of is he con-
Quoted his first opera, played piano
recital of his own, and a year later en-
tered the Royal Academy in Munich,
where he studied conducting under
Felix Motif and piano organ and coun-
terpoint under Beer-Walbrun.
Before Mr.. Hetzel had reached the
age of 20 he had been coach at the
Mannheim Hoftheater under Bo-
danzky, had conducted at the Strass-
burg Stadtheater and conducted opera
at the Royal Opera House in Munich
for two years. Here the World War
interrupted his career, but afterward
he continued his interesting musical
activity by becoming the leading con-
ductor at the German Opera House in
Czernowitz, capital of Bukowina, and
later touring Europe with "a famous
Russian singer" as pianist and accom-
panist.
Came Here on Concert Tour.
Mr.. HetZel came to this country IN
1923 on a concert tour, playing,
as he says, "in every city of the coun-
try" and in Canada and finally landed
unheralded in Washington in January,
1925.
Mr.. Hetzel's object in coming to this
city, like Mr. Kindler's, was to estab-
lish a symphony orchestra. The Wash
ington Symphony Orchestra was the
result of this plan. Mr.. Hetzel has
hoped to be able to revive it, but
since Mr.. Kinder has organized his
orchestra he has kept well out of the
fray.
I'm not out of the running yet,
though" says Mr.. Hertzel, who thinks
that this city might easily support two
orchestras of this sort. But IN the
meantime he Is doing all he can to help
along with the National Symphony. He is
more than delighted to be its guest con-
ductor. He has rehearsed long and
heartily. He knows what he wants and
he gets it. He is one of the few con-
ductors on record who got through a
3-hour rehearsal 20 minutes ahead Of
time.

DEFENSE COUNSEL
UNABLE TO BREAK
BRUTALITY STORY
CoIored Youth Sticks to Tes-
timony Regarding Beat
ings by Police.
TELLS OF "SETTING-UP"
EXERCISES IN STATION
win One Witness a Day, Jury Is
Not Expected to Get Case
for Week.

Defense counsel spent all their time
today at the third degree trial of Po-
hcemen Charles r. Bremmerman and
Hollis Clark. charged with aSsaulting
Thomas McKeever Williams, colored
prisoner, in an endeavor to break down
or discredit the testimony of Govern
ment witnesses. While succeeding in
tripping them on various incidents that
occurred before the actual assaults
charged in the indictment, the defense
failed to shake the oft-repeated stories
of the beatings that took place behind
the closed door of the locker room Of
the old second precinct station.
Gordon Sticks to Story.
Sylvester Gordon, a colored youth of
II, one of those in the lineup, stuck
steadfaStly to the major part OF his
story, given under direct testimony. Be
ing one of the witnesses now serving
time for petty larceny, Gordon was the
youth who was in the automobile with
the two policemen when Williams and
several other colored boys were picked
up and taken to the police station.
1t was on Gordon's admission to the
police that he had been stealing auto
mobile tires that they took him out IN
q machine to locate the place from
which he was suspected of having taken
a car for joyriding. On these incidents
the young witness changed his testi-
mony at various times, but defense at
torneys did not succeed, however, in
obtaining any different versions of the
"setting up" exercises which consisted
of the boys standing on their toes and
holding their hands in the air, while
being subjected to blows and questions.
Williams Back In Court.
At the rate Of one witness a day,
which has been the record since the
trial opened Monday, it Is conserva-
tive guess to indicate 1t will hardly
reach the jury before another week.
williams, who testified he was beaten
on the final occasion until he collapsed,
was brought back to the court room
today from his cell as the suggestion
of Government attorneys.
Explaining that the witness did not
know enough to understand his right
TO complain to the Department of Jus
tice or police about this treatment, they
asked him how to spell and define sew
eral simple words, such as "memorize"
and Asserting" His percentage in the
test was zero.
