NEW YORK, Feb. 20 dN.S).
Six hours and forty minutes after
they had retired to deliberate. a
jury in Brooklyn Supreme Court
early today found Meyer and
Harry Luckman and Fred j. Hull
guilty Of second degree murder in
the killing Of Samuel Drukman in
a garage in Brooklyn last March.
Justice Rogers Immediately
sentenced the trio to serve from
20 years to life in Sing Sing.
The Drukman murder has been
q political cause celebre since last
November when Joseph D. Nc.
Goldrick, Republican candidate
for district attorney, made it an
issue in his unsuccessful cam
paign against the incumbent,
William F. x. Geoghan. He
charged that political influence
had been used to prevent Druk-
mans slayers from being brought
W JuSG1CG.
The three defendants had been
found in the Luckman garage on
the evening of the murder when
police broke in after receiving
mysterious phone call that trouble
was brewing there.
The officers testified that the
hands of the three defendants
were covered with blood and that
the body of Drukman, an en-
ploye of the Luckman brothers,
was found in a canvas bag in
car in the garage. In spite of
this, the April grand jury failed
to return indictments and the
men were freed.

GIRL MYSTERY
DEEPENS

Lack of a reason for the dis
appearance handicapped police
today in their hunt for ella Diltz,
27. a private secretary, who has
been missing since Saturday from
her apartment at 1713 Eighteenth
St. N. w.
Because members Of her fam
lily expressed the belief the girl
would not have left her home
voluntarily without notifying them,
authorities feared foul play might
prove to be the reason.
Miss Diltz, who lived alone, was
employed by the National Radio
Institute. The fact that she was
missing came to light Tuesday
morning when her employers
grew anxious about her absence
from work.
A sister, Miss Leola Diltz, of
1927 Massachusetts, Ave-, informed
the Women's Bureau and began
an investigation of her own.

Continued from page two

Then the portals Of Hollywood
opened He reached the cinema city
after much deliberation.
His first film was ''Scarface," de-
picting shoddily passing gangster
phase in the history Of America. Mum
gave the role of the gangster a dynamic
tervor. While the picture was highly
successful commercially, it added little
to his stature as an artist.
His struggle in Hollywood has since
been to obtain screen material that he
considers worthy. He was seen in
many mediocre films until cast as the
lead in The Story of Louis Pasteur."
To prepare himself for the role. he
studied every phase of the great
Frenchman's life for months. An even
larger opportunity has been given him
by Irving Thalberg in The Good
Earth"
His mother came to him after the
preview Of a successful picture Hold

had soothed him as a child, she said,

With a reverent pride in his herit-
age, and long years of training, he
became associated with Maurice

New York. AS usual, he played many

His work helped spread the fame of
the little theater over New York.

He took up his hat. Beyond the
open door they heard him whistling,
and his whistle, after what they had
suffered, seemed an affront. There was
a heavy silence, till Johnson spoke
for them all.
What nerve! Isn't that just like
Carfax to say thank-you and walk
out as casual as nothing. after all
we've done? Where's Jenny gomez"
For word of sympathy or praise
from Jenny would have helped these
stricken men.
But Jenny, Jenny who always
moved quickly, was in the street. She
was hurt. She was a little angry. But
it was her nature to be direct and
straightforward. and though she was
hurt, she was straightforward still.
She cried his name, and Carfax
turned. His eyes were hard.
Aren't you going to say goodbye
to me?'
Il said goodbye, Jenny. What:
up?"
Don't pretend. You didn't. And l
want to know why"
Carfax could speak straightfor-
wardly, too. Are you sure you want
to know"
What else would | run after you

"Of course l helped with the
money" said Jenny, and Carfax
caught her shoulder and laughed.

on - start now - don't weaken. I've
bet on horses before now. When does
MIR. Carfax have to pay that bet?"
Probably on Monday" Hall told
her.
Then you've got to hurry. all of
you. It's Thursday now. Besides that,
we must tell him today, of course It's
lucky the boss isn't here, and we can
get busy"
They got busy, spurred with hints
by the relentless Jenny. They tele-
phoned; they sent messengers from
the neighboring telegraph Office. They
got hot under the collar. and their
faded jest was miserable funeral in
their minds. By a quarter to five the
tale of their journeyings was complete,
and Jenny was methodically typing
out a list of names and amounts.
Harris had pawned his gold watch.
Hall had sold his motorcycle at loss
to a well-off neighbor who had long
envied it. Jenny had secured the
twenty-five dollars from her scornful
brother. Frank Johnson had drawn
fifty from his savings account The
Office boy had been honorably excused.
At five o'clock, Carfax. the man of
money, entered the Office. He looked,
as he felt, like man at the top of his
form - the smartest and happiest
young business man in New York.
Thought l was entitled to lay off
work this afternoon" he said. "Espe-
cially as I've landed new job. boys.
Pretty good too I've been angling
for it long time, What's the matter?"
Somebody mumbled something
about the lost bet. Carfax was mag
nifcent.
"Oh, that! That's not worrying me.
What's a few bucks when there's
plenty more to GOMEZ
Then they told him. They dis
played for him the aggregate of their
sacrifices - four hundred and eighty
dollars. 1t was sad blow to each of
them excepting jenny that even
after all their trouble. each of them
felt silly and knew that he also looked
silly. Carfax smiled to see their faces.

haven't you? Well, stick all that where
it came from. won't take itr'
But you must take itr'

on the list of names.

Evening star., 1936-03-08


Hall found his voice, a voice that
quavered and was strange to himself.
Getting pretty careless, aren't you?
Five hundred dollarsw
"Nonsense!' said Carfax. I'm
cashing in tomorrow, am not? When
I'm in luck, l believe in playing it up.
Supposing it loses, | should worry!
Ill have plenty to pay up with,

Jenny, thrilled but practical, spoke.
The probable odds are eight to one
to win. You could win nearly three
thousand. If you do - what funf
"It'll win all right" Carfax assured
her. well, l haven't much of the
office feeling about me today. I'm off
to try Park Avenue for a decent lunch
for once. So long. boys" He went,
jauntier than usual, his hat and stick
lordlier than ever. rather as though
they had been miraculously changed
to a crown and sceptre. He hadn't
been gone minute when they turned
on Hall.
why didn't you stop him? Carfax
hasn't penny, any more than any of
US. He's been trying to save five dol
lars week for ever so long, he told me
himself. He's saving up for something.
What's he going to do if -"
Hall was exasperated. How the
devil could l stop him? And how
could l know the idiot was going to
slap on five hundred dollar bet? Ten
dollars each way at the most, it looked
to me-"
There was that moment of thick
gloom which always is born to dis
comfort men when a crude joke slips
its moorings and goes evilly adrift.
Jenny, NO in the secret, was mystified.
She said So Hall, worried and anxious,
appeared to bark at her.
I'm tell you what it means. That
legacy of Carfax's is all a joke. We
planted it on him. Frank here has a
pal in the Office of the lawyers who are
supposed to have written that letter,
and he swiped a letterhead from them
and typed that stuff to Carfax about
the legacy. Didn't you see the time we
fixed for the appointment? That was
to give us all chance to follow Car
fax. And just as he was going into the
Offices of Jackson and Prentice, we
were going to tell him how we'd
kidded him - and have a good
laughr'
Jenny's serious eyes travelled over
their faces. But you're not laughing"
she commented ruthfully. Il don't
think much of that joker
Neither did they - now.
We're all right if Lonely Jenny only
comes in second" Frank Johnson
ventured.
But if Lovely Jenny doesn't win,
how are we going to tell Mr.. Cocksure
Carfax," asked Hall, that there's no
money coming to him tomorrow, and
that he's got five hundred dollars to
find to pay that bet?"
Search mer' said Johnson hope
lessly. But it was your idea, wasn't
it? You'll tell him, suppose"
At half past three Jenny slipped
down to the newsstand and bought a
paper. The first three horses were
strange names to her, and Lonely
Jenny was only mentioned in that list
which has seemed like an epitaph to so
many stout-hearted but frustrated
hopers: Also ran"
A thoughtful Jenny marched back
to the Office. She confronted a worried
Hall, paper in hand, in counsel with
the others.
You know, you've got to raise
that money" she said. That bet"
1--WE were thinking about it."
Halls fingers rumpled his hair.
You're doing it" declared Jenny.
