 Stands By Himself
BY JOSEPH L. MYLER Limited Press Stan COrresp0nAent)

New York, Aug. IS - (U.P) - James J. Hines, Tammany Hall dis trict leader. must face trial alone on te charge that he yielded the poli- tical power behind the New York policy racket estimated to have net- ted its operators 1100, ,000, 900 year.
 That was determined today at the outset of the spectacular trial when the case of Martin Weintraub, niin- or "mouthpiece' for small fry policy operators, was severed from that of Hines.
 The sentence was on motion of District Attorney Thomas Y. Dewey, who as special prosecutor and Dis- trict Attorney has gained . nation wide reputation for his waf on rack eteering here.
 Only Defendants
 Hines and Weintaub were the only when the case was call- cd in supreme court today. Eight were named in the indictment charging that from 1891 to 1897 Hines accepted from $500 to $1,000 a week to bribe, coerce and intimi- date judges and political leaders and thus keep Arthur Dutch 6chultz) and his henchmen be- yond the Aeach of the law while they operated the vast lottery.
 Three of them pleaded guilty, among them J. Richard Dixie) Da- wis, cagey young lawyer who guided Schultz through the maze of threat- ening legalities. Those three will testify for the state in an attempt to alleviate their own punishment.
 All the others named in the tn- dictment are missing" - whether dead or alive even their former closest associates do not profess to know.

Robert Woolsey.
Comedian, Dies

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 1. (UP)-
Robert Woolsey, former partner
of Bert Wheeler in one of Holly
woods most famous film comedy
teams, died at his home in Malibu
Beach late yesterday after an i'll
ness Of more than a year.
He was 49.
DR.. Ralph Tandowsky reported
the veteran actor was in a coma
for two days after the illness be-
came critical. Woolsey's wife, the
former Mignone Reed, and her
mother, Mrs. Mary Reed, were at
the bedside.
The cigar-smoking comedian,
who earned 100000 a picture in
his heyday, had been in retire
ment for nearly a year because of
his illness.
He was reported to have suf-
fered a kidney ailment while still
under contract at RKO, where he
made his last picture last year.
The illness necessitated rest. In
Hollywood it had been thought he
was recovering and his death came
as a shock.
Slight of stature, Woolsey was
the solemn member of the comedy
team, which enjoyed its greatest
success in the films between 1890
and 1886.
