And it doesn't make any par

Both Alice Belle and her
mother refer to the mysterious

Joseph B. Dunninger, head of

will pay $4,000 to Alice Belle if
she can produce anything in the
way of phenomena which he can
not duplicate.
But, although Alice Belle was
in New York today, her mother
had not decided whether they
would accept his offer.

ShOWer
Falls as Trailer
OUerturnS

Everything but the lettuce and
mayonnaise was available 1or
cucumber salad in the 140O block
Of New York Avenue Northeast,
early today.
The cucumbers were there
hundreds of 'em-and also on tap
were quite a few good citizens to
eat 'em.
The citizens were present be-
cause a huge trailer truck, loaded
with cucumberS to what would be
gunwales in a boat, got itself
highly involved in a mysterious
accident. For no known reason
the vehicle, proceeding through
Washington, slid across the street
and wound up half on the side
walk after battering up parked
car.
Whiz! And through the air
flew cucumbers, for acres and
acres-well, at least, all over the
place.
And many a cucumber salad will
be enjoyed for lunch today In
many Q Northeast home.

Joseph Delucca. 81,
while pressing court charges that
he attempted to cause the death OF
their two-month-old son during
a trip fIDm Florida last week.
Deluccas' mother, Mrs. Grace

The young wife charges that

her to leave the baby unclothed

WARNINGS Shared Winnings With Help Court Told
FLOATING Girl
Fails in Test
Table and Pencil
Refuse to MOUe
For Alice Kirby

NEW YORK, Nov. 81 G.N.S).
The mystic powers that permit
Alice Belle Kirby, 13-year-old
Louisiana schoolgirl, to move
pianos by command, dump heavy
men off tables and herself to
float through the air, refused to
work amid New York's tall towers
today.
Alice Belle floated to New York
in a plane-with her mother
and local superintendent of
schools to appear on a radio pro
gram tomorrow night, but her
psychic powers would not work
in demonstrations today and she
was not certain they would work
tomorrow.
TABLE REFUSES TO BULGE
A thin child with a great mass
of dark hair and deep-set dark
eyes, the Louisiana miss was tired
after the long plane ride, but she
did her best to summon the
psychic forces they say help her
to accomplish the feats which are
accepted as gospel by her towns
people.
The first test was to make a
table rise from the floor. An ordi-
nary wood table about three by
four feet, weighing perhaps 100
pounds, was selected.
Seated beside it, Alice Belle
spread her fingers on its surface,
closed her eyes.
Come table rise. Come table
rise" she pleaded but the table
didn't rise.
Then they tried automatic writ
ing.
PENCIL BALKS, TOO
Alice Belle was blindfolded, given
a pencil and a pad.
One of those in the room wrote
a question. When Alice Bellies

DEBRIS COMBED
FOR VICTIMS OF:
"KIDNAP TRUST"
N. Y. Police Dig Into
Remains of Old Building

NEW YORK, Nov. 81 GN.S).
Plunging into new activity amid
reports of impending revelations
in the probe o fthe Ukrainian Hall
"kidnap trust" police today ripped
through wreckage of an old build
ing. apparently hunting for bodies
of possible additional victims Of
the gang.
Crews of emergency squads
hacked away at concrete and steel
remnants of a building which once
stood next to Ukrainian Hall after
it was discovered that records Of
long -forgotten inquiries involving
members of the trust" had van
ished from the New York county
district attorneys office.
FRIED'S BODY SOUGHT
Authorities refused to link the
two developments, however, hint
ing that the removal of debris
from the site of the RACED building
was for the purpose of seeking the
body of Arthur Fried, White
Plains contractor, who vanished
last December 4 and is said to
have been slain by members OF
the mob.
Although two of the prisoners,
Demetrius Gula, 80, and Joseph
Sagoda, q, allegedly confessed
Fried was slain and his body in
cinerated during futile negotiar
lions for a 100000 ransom, de-
tectives still hope to find his body
and thus make it possible to
charge members of the trust"
with first degree murder.
EVIDENCE MISSING
The missing records were tran.
scripts of testimony taken in con-
nection with an investigation Of
insurance deaths in which Denis
Gula, So, proprietor of pool room
in the Ukrainian Hall who is de-
tanned in default of $4,000 bail
as a material witness in the Fried
case, allegedly was a beneficiary.

PICKUP MEN"
ALSO PAID Is PC.
OF ALL LOSSES
Prospect of Naming
Police Aides Fades

How the Treasury Department
Intelligence agents made cases
against a number of pickup
men and writers working for the
Warning brothers, was revealed
a. the income tax conspiracy trial
Of the three Warnings and their
two tax consultants for the first
time in District Court today.
William H. F.. Swain, under ex-
animation by Prosecuting Attor-
ney David A. Pine, told how he
personally had made number of
cases against writer's of the War.
ring mob. He did not disclose
what disposition was made of
them.
TELLS OF INTERVIEWS
Swain told how he interviewed
q number of pickup" men SIS of
whom were listed in the returns
for 1886 for prosecution by the
Department Of Justice.
But you made these inter-
views with the intention of max
ing cases against these pick
up men and not against the
Warnings, didn't you?" Pine
asked Swain.
The Intelligence Unit agent re-
piled that this was true.
Prior to this Swain was exam
ined at length by Defense Counsel
Harry T. Whelan who elected
from the witness an explanation
of pay-off rates used by the War
rings in 1885 and 1886.
RETURNS SHARED
Swain said that in 1885 the
Warnings allowed pickup" men
a straight per cent Of the net
numbers play, but the next year
when "hits" were paid on the
basis of 400 to the pickup" men
got Is per cent Of the winnings
and had to share IS per cent OF
the losses.
Whelan led the witness into a
discussion of the protectlon
money, allegedly paid by Emm1tt
Warning and Swain repeated preVi-
GUS testimony that he had IN
formed the numbers baron that
bribe money was not a deductaole
item in the income tax report. ,
Testimony of two Internal
Revenue agents in the trial thus
far has indicated that the War
rings paid brides of $500 a month
in 1884, $1,000 a month in 1885
and $4,000 a month in 1886 to un-
named persons.
IDENTITY GUARDED
With observers" from the Cor
poration Counsel's office following
the testimony closely for possible
clues to the identity of the alleged
brides takers, there was little In
dication that the names OF police
who aided the racket would be
revealed.
Prosecuting Attorney David A.
Pine and his assistant, John j.
Wilson, today indicated they may
be able to complete the Govern
ment's case against the Warnings
and their tax consultants, Henry
L. Sherr and Gordon L. R. Sadur
by Wednesday.

Just then several of Miss New

temporarily forgot her quest Of

one of them, "did you know that
my painting of you is hanging

that it's William Powell'S fav-

HARDY TO ENTER
PRNATEPRACT|CE
Mystery Shooting Victim to
End 23 Years. Service in
Justice Department.

Russell Hardy, A, special assistant
to the Attorney General, resigned to
enter private practice yesterday. Mr..
Hardy will leave the Department OF
Justice on September 80, concluding
% years service. He will open Offices
here and perhaps in New York. His
successor has not been designated.
The Justice aide was the victim OF
a mysterious shooting in January, be-
ing wounded in the right hip as he sat
in an automobile outside the George
Mason Hotel in Alexandria waiting for
Mrs. Elizabeth Connor Buchanan, an
associate from the department. He
ascribed the attack to panhandler
to whom he had refused funds. He
was held under $500 bond as a ma
terial witness" while authorities un-
successfully sought to identify his
assailant.
Mr.. Hardy, who was active in anti
trust work, several months ago was in
charge of the Milwaukee grand jury
which was discharged by Federal
Judge Ferdinand A. Geiger because
he thought department officials had
used the jury in an effort to compel
several automobile companies to sign
consent decree eliminating alleged
monopolistic practices. The House
Judiciary Committee investigated the
incident. but took no action. In
dictments against the companies were
obtained later in South Bend, Ind.
In 1929 Mr.. Hardy won an injunc-
ton which the Supreme Court later
sustained, abolishing certain trade
practices of the Atlantic Dyers and
Cleaners. This case is expected to
serve as basis for the Justice De-
partment's current investigation of
the American Medical Association.
He also handled the cases in 1927
and 1888 which resulted in consent
