Secret Service agents were a
step nearer in their search for
the elusive counterfeiter Count
Lustig'" today, with the arrest Of
his companion, William. Watts.
Watts was arrested at his Pail
sades Avenue apartment in Union
City, N. j. When he was taken
into custody the Government men
said they found 100000 in coun-
terfeit bills along with a dozen
finished plates and a score Of un-
finished plates and negatives for
counterfeiting Federal Reserve
notes.
Watts is credited with being re-
gponsible for sending from $50 to
200 persons to prison in the last
four years as the result Of his
counterfeittng activities, accord
ing to Joseph Murphy, assistant
chief of the Secret Service.
He said the Secret Service had
been on the trail of Watts for the
last four years, and that this is
the first time he has been
arrested.
U. S. Disappointed
Before entering the counterfeit
ing field, Murphy said, Watts had
been engaged in the manufacture
of liquor bottle bond strips. In
spite of the Secret Services sat-
isfaction in the arrest of Watts,
Murphy was somewhat disap-
pointed. as he had expected to
arrest Count Lustig" along with
Watts.
Count Lustig," otherwise known
as Robert Duval, escaped the
clutches of the law on September
/ in New York city when he
fashioned a ladder from bed
sheets. He was being held for in
veStigation Of counterfeiting &C.
tivitieS.
In addition to the plates and
negatives for counterfeiting
United States currency, detectives
also took a quantity of Canadian
excise tax strips as well as coun-
terfeit labels for Canadian liquor
bottles.
Watts is about so years old and
O native of Nebraska.

"He leads left to the chin - he leads through your king" I suppose it is difficult to see that these two phrases have the same meaning. but think a prize fighter tries to avoid that left to the chin, and if bridge player is wise, he will try and keep his opponent from leading through his king.
 To bring out my point more clearly, l will give you today's hand which was played recently by H. Huber Boscowitz of New York. vice-president of the American Bridge League and one of Amer ica's most popular bridge players. MT. Boscowitz will be one of the busiest persons at the coming Ma tional Championship Tournament which will be held at Asbury Park, the week of August 5.
 In today's hand, MT. Boscowitz sat in the Sast. In response to his partners double of one heart, he elected to bid four card spade suit, rather than a weak five card minor, as generally a double of one major shows support for the other, and he reasoned that it would be better to have his king of hearts led up to rather. than through.
 The Play
 South's opening lead against the four spade contract is the king of clubs. Declarer can count los- ing club. at least one losing dia- mond even though the finesse works, and two losing hearts, if North gets into the lead.
 The natural play might be to win this trick with the ace of clubs, but rememb mbering that the

danger of the hand lies in letting North get into the. lead, declarer refuses to win the first club trick. North plays the nine spot, trying to sho whis partner the jack. So now a small club is led by South and this is won with the ace. A small spade is played and won by the ceclarer with the nine spot. A small diamond is played and dummy's queen holds the trick. The ten of spades is played and overtaken in declarer's hand with the jack, South discarding the six of hearts.
 A small diamond is led, South plays the king and again declarer refuses to win the trick, playing the five spot.
 South now returns the ten of clubs, North plays the jack, hop ing to win the lead, but the trick is trumped by declarer with the five of spades. He returns a small diamond, South discards a small heart and 1t is won in dummy with the ace.
 A small spade is played, declar- CT winning with the ace. The two good diamonds are played and dummy's two losing hearts are dis carded.
 Declarer then leads R small heart, trumping In dummy with the queen and wins the last trick with the king of trump. By re. fusing Co let North get Into thc lead to play through hIs king. de- clarer not only made hts contract. but on overtriek.
