a motion by counsel for Representative
John H. Hoeppel Of California and his
son Charles for an extension of time
to file a petition for a rehesring Of
their conviction on a charge Of con-
spiracy to sell West Point appoint
ment.
The high court recently refused to
review the decision of the Court Of
Appeals here, which affirmed the Hoep-
pels' conviction and sentence Of four
months to a year in prison.
Attorney Jacob L. Morewitz Of New
port News. Va, told the court the
Hoeppels had been held incommuni-

days and said the time for perfecting
a petition for rehearing in the Su-
preme Court would expire tomorrow.
A hearing on their removal from Rich

BY the Associated Press.
Renewed activity in almost all
branches of the machinery trade was
cited by the Commerce Department
today as among the soundest Of
indications that the country is in fact
emerging from the depression"
Although 1888 is the latest year for
which complete statistics on the ma
chinery industries are available, the
department said business had i'm
proved vastly" since that time, en-
ployment is greater, pay rolls larger
and the value of commodities pro-
duced is higher.
Certain underlying factors" the
report said such as the delayed pur-
chases of machinery and equipment
and the existence of vast reserves of
credit, point to definite expansion in
the various machinery industries and
present trends fully justify the feel
ings of optimism generally prevailing
within the industry"
Ranked fifth among the manu-
featuring industries in 1888, the ma
chinery group employed approx
mately 100000 persons that year, paid
more than s5O0,0O0,O0 in wages and
produced commodities valued at about

Special Prosecutor to Lay
Drukman Murder Data
Before Lehman.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 6.-The political
future of District Attorney William
r. X. Geoghan was at stake today ss
Special Prosecutor Hiram c. Todd
headed for Albany to lay before Gov
Herbert H. Lehman the records Of
the far-reaching Drukman murder
and conspiracy cases.
Todd was to discuss with Gov.
lehman the three-fold charges upon
which a special grand jury based its
request for Geoghan's removal from
office.
The grand jury accused Geoghan Of
negligence and incompetence in prose-
cutting the case and of associatiug
with persons of ill repute.
Bearing on Campaign.
Gov. Lehman's decision on removing
Geoghan was considered by political
observers to have a close bearing on
the Democratic party's chances OF
success in the Fall elections.
Geoghan, it was pointed out, Is
strong in the Democratic organiza-
ton in Kings County, although op-
posed by a large body of independent
voters.
Geoghan, meantime, indicated he
would make a counter move by re-
organizing his staff. He had pre-
viously announced he would discharge
O number of politically appointed as
sistants and appoint in their stead
men recommended by the Brooklyn
Bar Association.
His staff includes William w. Klein

the Drukman conspiracy case on whom
the jury was unable to agree.
Three others were convicted of con-
spiracy to obstruct justice in the pros
ecution of the slayers of Samuel Druk-

strangled in a storage garage March
3, 1885.
field that "a man was screaming
there.
Three Men Arrested.
While patrolmen were examining
Drukman's body, three men hiding in
the darkness in other parts of the ga
rage were discovered and arrested.
They were Meyer Luckman. the
head of the garage concern; Harry
Luckman, mis- nephew, and Fred Hull,
an ex-convict.
The case was presented to the April
grand jury, which a week after the
Staying voted mo indictment" and
the three prisoners were freed.
Geoghan was reelected in Novem-
ber after his opponents had made the
Drukman case an issue in the cam
paign.
When the November grand jury re-
turned four indictments, Gov. Lehman
relieved Geoghan of the prosecution.
A short time later Todd was appointed
in his place.
The special grand jury which de-
manded Geoghan's removal is still in
session and is expected to make fur
ther recommendations.
