Orleans. but Harrison ruled that out
of order.
w. j. Lambert, Bradley's attorney,
objected to the same question put in
another form.
Bradley said he didn't know how
much Sullivan drew from the New Or
leans track job, whereupon Long sug-
gested the Internal Revenue Depart
ment look into the tax return of Sui
Ivan and Bradley.
Sullivan jumped up and said the
committee could question him at
length on that when he takes the
stand tomorrow. The hearing ended
in tumult at noon.
Earlier, Maurice B. Gatlin, formerly
in Sullivan's office, testified Sullivan
was connected with New Orleans
bookmaking. Sullivan's counsel at
tempted to bring out that whatever
connection Gatlin showed merely re-
vealed part Of Sullivan's efforts to wipe
out bookmaking.
Explains Bookmaking.
In his testimony Gatlin, a New
Orleans attorney. said he had worked
in Col Sullivan's firm and one of
his duties was to copy every day the
various handbooks" that came in
from pool rooms throughout the city.
He said another Of his duties was
to handle stable accommodations for
race horse people at the Fair
Grounds"
you did that as a lawyer?" asked
Barkley.
"As a clerk" Gatlin said. Il was
called on to do everything that came
to hand"
Does the Governor and mayor
know horse racing handbooks are
operated in New Orleans2" asked
Barkley.
Il don't know about them, but the
police know" Gatlin said
rs that illegal in Louisiana?"
Eyes, SIR"
Long Told Not to Testify.
Asked If they were operated in hotel
lobbies. Long said mo" and was told
by Barkley not to testify. since he was
not sworn.
When did you fall out with Col
Sualivan?" Senator Connally, Demo
crat Of Texas. asked Gatlin.
Il did not fall out"
"You were fired?"
"Yes, sir"
Gatlin said he had "a breach" with
sullivan over suit he brought against
a man connected with the race tracks
He said he had his own law practice
now.
Questioned by Long he said he had
brought suit against Col. Kluke
who had racing wire service" and
that Sullivan had objected, because
Kluke was friend and client OF
Sullivan. He said he learned later
that Kluke was a client Of Sullivan's
Gatlin said he went to Kluke's place
of business to see a man about insur.
ance litigation and was ordered out
He said Kluke took swing" at him
as he left.
SpOfS writer lQent1ned.
Col. Sullivan brought out that
Kluke was the pen name Of Henry
Ritter, a former sports writer for the
Times-Picayune.
Long tried to bring out that the
moral ways" which he said Rightor
spoke Of in connection with Sulli-
vans effort to wipe out handbooks
was only spasmodic, but Senator
Barkley protested that was leading
the witness and Long desisted.
P. r. Lanoux. next called by Long
said he was a deputy collector in the
Internal Revenue Once, where he
has been employed II years.
He said he was chief of the audit
section, but since Moore took charge
he was denoted to the field division
with reduction Of salary from $2,7OO
to $2,400. He said he was succeeded
by George Kiernion.
Lanoux said no charges had been
made against him, and the only reason
given was they wanted to give some
one else the Job"
Lanoux said Miss Evelyn Flattery
and Miss Pearl Maritzky had been
employed by the bureau since Moore
took charge. He said Miss Maritzky
had come from the oflce Of Sullivan
Did . Lot Of Talking"
What is Miss Maritzky's capacity?"
Long asked.
She did lot Of talking"
did she bring you any messages?"
During the mayors election cam
paign she asked me who would vote
for. She asked me to vote for T.
Semmes Walmsley and said he was
backed by Sullivan. I told her I was
under civil service and did not discuss
politics"
You are a rare bird" Barkley OBJ
served, amid laughter.
The first witness, William McDon-
aid, mechanic with the New Orleans
Dock Board, told the committee that
Miss Flattery, his cousin, was en-
ployed both in the New Orleans inter-
nal revenue Office and at the ofiice of
Col. Sullivan.
Asked how he knew Miss Flattery
worked at Sullivan's office, Mcdonald
said his wife had called her on the
telephone at night when she was late
to supper"
Mcdonald said he lived in the same
house as Miss Flattery.
