"going to Washington to talk with

to his hotel to present her side of

slapped another, but she couldn u

Thereupon she began battling.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. - Per-
petration of widespread fraud and
dishonesty by real estate bondhold-
ers' protective committees was re-
ported to the house today by a
special investigating committee.
Thousands of investors we're

Sive fees, the committee reported.
Disclosures indicate fraud and

scrutiny of the department of JUS

GETS TERRIFIC GRILLING

BENNINGTON, N. j., Jan. 20.
U.p)-Attorney General David T.
Wilentz today brought to close
his cross-examination of Bruno
Richard Hauptmann, with an at
tack that brought rage to the pris-
oner IS eyes and forced him to ad-
nit he had lied throughout the po-
lice investigation that followed his
arrest.
The attorney general brought
his examination of the Bronx car
penter to a dramatic climax Short
ly before p. m,. when he forced
the defendant TO admit he lied
. about the ransom money, lied about
his accounts, and lied to the family
of his late friend. Isidor Fisch.
The afternoon court scene was
almost a replica of the incident of
yesterday in which Hauptmann
thrust a long finger at the attor-
ney general and cried-"and you
lied to me, too.'
Wilentz, standing two feet from
Hauptmann who crouched from his
chair as though he were about to
spring at his tor1nentor, shouted:
$50 you lied when you told Dis
trict Attorney Foley that $40 ram
som bill came from $500 you had
saved.'
"Yes-but there was an explain
alton"
"And you lied when you wrote
these figures of your accounts IN
this black book
"No-I-there was a reason for
it."
And you lied when you wrote to
the brother of your friend, Isidor
Fisch--."
"Well, I thought he was coming
over"
The attorney general, hurting his
questions like bombs. scarcely gave
Hauptmann time to answer.
Hauptmann Angry
Hauptmann was manifestly stung
by the batting. His face was flushed.
His words came angrily, but he
stumbled for explanations.
"And you have lied throughout
this case, haven't you?" the attor-
ney general shouted.

Over Two Week Ends

Robert H. BrySon, past president
and lifetime member of the Amer
lean Bowling Congress, was report
ed to be resting comfortably this
morning in St. Vincent's Hospital
following an emergency operation
for appendicitis Monday.
Bryson, one of the most colorful
pin boosters in the country, was
largely responsible for bringing the
1886 A. B. C. tournament to the
city. His appeal to the annual
meeting at Syracuse last March will
long be remembered by local
pinsters who we're present at the
meeting.
His popularity in the bowling
game dates back to the days when
the national tournament was in
it's infancy, and he is we'll remem-
bered as the man who saved the
annual gathering of Congress
boWlerS when it threatened to COL
lapse in 1902. At this time, with
the aid of the late Charles A. Book
walter, then mayor, he brought the
event to Indianapolis.
The 1902 tourney was held in
Tomlinson Hail. Mr.. Bryson is look
ing forward to the coming event
at the State Playground Coliseum
with pride, as it is expected to be
the largest ever staged by the A. B
c. group.
His scores of friends are wishing
him a speedy recovery and hope tc
see him back on the firing line OF
the Insurance League, of which he
is a member, in the near future.
