ELIzABETHTOWN, N. Y, Oct.
27.-Acquitted Of -year-old
robbery charge, John Montague to-
day plotted a new and richer chapter
in an already amazing life.
Shortly after an Adirondack Noun
tain jury freed the fabulous golfing
pal of movie stars, officials of the
Paramount Studios announced in
Hollywood that mysterious Monty"
had signed a contract amounting to
$l,000,000 in seven years.
The pact was signed with Everett
Crosby, Bling" Crosby's older brother,
and calls for appearances on the radio,
in pictures and as professional golfer
competing in the Nations richest tour
naments, studio executive said.
Will Go to Hollywood.
Here, however, as the dimpled mys-
terry man OF golf read congratulatory
kilograms on his acquittal he refused
to discuss future plans at length, but
said he hoped to find permanent resi-
del.ce in the motion picture land,
where he won acclaim by his extraor-
dinary golfing feats.
"I hope eventually to get back to
HOLLYWOOD" he told happy friends
after a jury acquitted him of looting
Kin Hans's roadhouse of s700 back
in 1890. when he was known as
Laverne Moore.
Only a few hours before, a jury OF
IL manual laborers walked into a
jammed little, old-fashioned court
room and handed down the verdict:
I'VE find the defendant not guilty
of first degree robbery
The spectators jumped to their feet
and cheered Justify; Montague was all
smiles.
Judge Disagrees.
But elderly presiding County Judge
Harry E. Owen banged his gavel Or
dered the spectators out of the aisles
and looked sternly at the jury.
Gentlemen. this verdict is not in
accord with what I think you should
have returned. That, however, is up
to you"
Before the jury was discharged, and
lust after Defense Counsel James M.
Noonan personally thanked the jury,
Montague rose with smile on his
face and said:
Gentlemen of the jury"
Judge Owen banged his gavel.
This is no show he barked.
The jury reached its verdict in four
and one-half hours.

Victor McLaglen's Brother
Held in $4,000 'Shakedoun' Try
Burly Hu Jitsu Teacher
Tehemently Denies
Charges.

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES. Oct. 27.--Leopold
McLaglen, 49-year brother of the
screen star, Victor McLaglen, was
booked at the county Jail today or
suspicion of solicitation of the COM
mission of a crime and suspicion o1
subornation of perjury.
His huge shoulders squared back
McLaglen vehemently denied to Sher-
ifs Inspector William Penprase thai
he tried to shake down" millionaire
Philip Chancellor for an $4,000 salary
| bonus.
Il do not know what this is all
about. There is not a scratch upon
my integrity in any country of the
world" he said.
McLaglen was taken into custody last
night after what Inspector Penprase
said was a six weeks investigation
requested by Chancellor, who inherited
an Akron. Ohio. fortune.
Held in technical custody as a
material witness was Chancellor's
former secretary, Stanley Glimm.
Hired to Teach Jiu u-Jitsu.
Chancellor-who once worked in
Chicago as a cub reporter for the
experience, later took up color pho
tography in Hollywood as a hobby
said he became acquainted with Nc
Laglen when he hired him to teach
him a new form of jiu-jitsu.
Chancellor told Inspector Penprase
Laglen persuaded him to take espionage
for his subject. agreeing to supply
material on various international in
telligence operations.
After some months, Chancellor as
serted. McLaglen failed to produce
useful data. Chancellor said Nc
Laglen was dismissed then but did not
recognize his discharge, claiming they
had agreed he was to be employed
until December and be paid $4,000
bonus.
Chancellor said the figure finally
was reduced to $4,000, when McLaglen
disclosed an affidavit signed by Glimm
supporting his contentious that the
money was due him.
Chancellor alleged the contents of
the affidavit were false.
McLaglen fatty denied he had at
tempted to obtain money illegally from
Chancellor.
Glimm. except to deny that he had
done anything wrong, had nothing to
say.
McLaglen for some time conducted
jiu-jitsu classes for Los Angeles police
and later for sheriff's deputies.
Several years ago he filed a 100000
slander suit against Victor, charging
the actor had made damaging remarks
about him because of professional
jealousy. The action was thrown out
of court after much testimony.

GERMANS TOSEND
 ENVOY TO ROME

Continued from Page D ance of normal relations might prove impossible. To leave the work of the Vatican City embassy to . charge d'affaires for any length of time would be a sign that relations were not normal.
 Papers Keep It Up
 The weekly publication "Das ScEwarze Korps." organ of the crack Nazi "6S" storm troopers, added its bit today to the denuncia- tion of Cardinal Mundelein. On its front page was a carton of the Cardinal. The caption was the Latin "Nomen est Omen"-the name is the omne. Mundelein in German means little mouth" But the car- toon shows a priest with an enor- nous mouth reading from papers titled insults and Hes" There is Q subtitle "A Mundelein' tries to be- lie it's name"
 Nazi authorities, during the dis pute, continued their prosecution of Roman Catholic churchmen on charges of immortality. Five were sentenced yesterday on charges of seducing minor persons. Three were sentenced at Coblenz, one at ratibor and one at Breslau. Terms ranged from 20 months to four years in prison.
 Vatican City, June 2-(UP)-Dip- lomats accredited to the Vatican ex- pressed belief today that a definite rupture of relations between the Vatican and Germany seemed in- evitable.
 Rupture Expected
 After the exchange of notes re- garding 8 speech in which Cardinal Mundelein of Chicago criticised Adolf Hitler, diplomats said they believed relations were to all pur- poses Suspended"
 German diplomats have boycotted all recent ceremonies. Carl-Ludwig Diego Won Bergen, German ambas- sador to the Vatican, is absent in Berlin, ostensibly on vacation. Diplo- mats do not expect him to return. He reaches retirement age this fall, and unless there is 8 change in re- lations he is not expected to return.
 Recall Rum0r Silence
 Vatican officials refused to discuss reports that Monsignor Cesare Ore- senigo, Vatican Nuncio to Berlin, had been recalled. It was believed more likely that he was coming here to report to the Pope, on the pre- text that he was taking 8 vacation.
 German sources said that the Nazi government considers the Vatican reply to Germany,s protest against the cardinals speech "unsatisfact- cry"
 The Pope was believed to have discussed the German situation this morning with Cardinal Pacelli, his secretary of state.
 It was re-emphasized that if there is a formal breach in relations it will not come from the Vatican. It is the Vatican policy not to de- nounce treaties.

 Tax Evasion Plans
 Washington, June, 2 = ,(UP)-A Senate coalition of democrats and republicans seized upon the admin istration'S request for legislation plugging loopholes in the income tax law today to demand revision of the 1886 corporate surplus tax.
 Their drive was directly counter to plans of President Roosevelt and administration congressional lead CTS to confine changes in the tax structure to those recommended in a presidential message yesterday.
 There were immediate indications of a Strong effort to change the corporate surplus tax act and to broaden the base of income tax schedules. Leaders in the move were Sens. Arthur H. Vandenburg, R., Mich, David I. Walsh, D., Mass, and Robert M. LaFollette, F., Wis.
 The principal notifications dis cussed would relieve new businesses probably those under five years old-and debt-burdened businesses of ssome of the present levies on undistributed surpluses.
 Both houses acted to start a con- gressional investigation of tax eva sion and avoidance which MT. Roosevelt charged to wealthy per- sons. The Senate approved joint resolution calling for. an inquiry; the house referred similar pro- posal to the rules committee which will probably report it next week.
 House Passes Relief Bill
 Washington, June 2-(UP)-The 1,50O 100000 (B) work relief bill. passed by the House last night in a stormy session, was sent to the Senate today where a bitter econo- my and earmarking fight awaited it.

Final passage came just before midnight after the House had been in session almost 12 hours. Senate opposition to the measure as 1t is now written cen- ters around Sen. James F. ByrCes. D.. 6.
