Engard added:
We want to know If they (the

there was something else in

that the building was not part
Of the original structure of the
prison and needed more heat.
But we don't intend to accept
any such statement at its face

With two HolmeSburg prison
guards already under bail in con-
nection with the deaths, Coroner
Hersch said he was returning to
the prison with four warrants in
my pocket"
Later he announced that at
least eight persons face arrest and
that he had "a great many more
warrants than that and would fill
them out as the evidence war
ranted."
Angered by what he charged

two guards taken into custody late
yesterday, the coroner made his
announcement after declaring he
will ask Governor George H. Earle
to replace every guard and official
at the institution with Pennsyl'

A triple probe by the coroner's
and District Attorneys offices and
State welfare department is under

Angry charges that Mayor s.

was done with the $780,000 and
the witness replied that "by the
end of the 1884 spring race meet
ing Schultz owed $275,000 which
he had borrowed" Schultz was
then in trouble with the Federal

Huge Profits
The racing season, he explained
lasted 156 days.
Q.-What would the net profit
be daily?
A.-Between $4,000 and
$4,000. But there would be
other expenses during the week.
These expenses might be $4,000

would be about $4,000 a day.
Q.-HoW much profit would
that be for the 1856 days?
A.-(Casually) 81 $50, 900.
Q.-You testified Schultz took

Ale borrowed CnaC. he got
a regular weekly sum every
week besides that. He got $4,000

Q.-You still would have a

the net, with every expense

tured the Tammany district
leader as a canny politician
who distributed political
favors among the faithful.
Shortly before ThankSgiv-

he spoke to Hines about dis
tributing 1000 Thanksgiving
baskets among the needy of
the district. Hines told him to
give the business to an alder

Q.-You testified the total
Schultz took was $275, 900.
A.-No. that is what he Dor.
rowed.
Judge Pecora asked:
Judge Asks Question
"Were you ever repaid for any
of those borrowings by SchultZ?"
mo-" said Weinberg.
Q.-(Stryker)-Didn't you say
he returned $4,000 after the
banks suffered a big "hit?"
Ayes.
Q.-shall we add that to the
total?
A.-That was in 1882. I
loaned him $150,0O0 and got
back $4,000.
Weinberg couldn't remember
how much Schultz took Of the
huge profits made during the 1856
day racing period. Stryker re-
minded him he seemed to have a
better memory when he was be-
ing questioned on direct examina-
ton by District Attorney Thomas
E. Dewey.
HOnanaers Query Home
"What did you do with $780,
O00?" demanded Stryker again.
Schultz had some and the
bankers had some," Weinberg
replied.
''My question:" reitera t e d
Stryker, sis what did you do
with the $3.50 ,OO0?'"
"Over a period of time gave
Schultz some of the bankroll
and the bankers borrowed some"
the witness answered.
st still want an answer as to
what you did with the $3.50 ,OOO,"
pursued Stryker. .
'"I did answer you." retorted
Weinberg sharply. "Out Of that
bankroll Schultz borrowed some
and the rest went to the bank
erS."
Stryker walked closer to the wit
ness chair and, in sarcastic tone
said:
Question of Honesty
"Weinberg, you would have
no scruples against stealing
that money, pilfering it like q
thief"
"I don't think I would steal
it," replied the witness in q
casual manner.
"You wouldn't have any
scruples against being a theft"
"Well," nonchalantly replied
Weinberg, IT never enjoyed be-
ing a thief"

Q.-How are they used?

arrested on a burglary charge and
sentenced to a year in jail0

men who were going to do that

A.-No, the other men did.

Imagine Bill "Yank" Robbins
surprise when he picked up the
morning paper one day last sum-
mer, turned to the sports page to
find that his Canadian record for
the quarter-mile sprint had finally
been broken after 20 years.
Oh, well, Yank maintains, his
other track record still holds good,
and probably will remain so. That's
the national quarter-mile indoor
hurdle mark which he set in Mad
iSon Square Garden in 1910. 1t
so happens that the year he set the
record in this event, was the first
and last time the feature was run.
Robbins topped the three-foot tim
bers in this gruelling test in ST 3-5.
And his name and achievement
still holds good in the record book
of indoor track competition.

set in 1909, it was duly smashed
