new MISTRIAL
PLEA LOST BY
WARNING TRIO
Wilson ASSaiIs Sadur as
Liar in Summation

A motion for mistrial in the
Warning income tax conspiracy
case was made by defense coun-
sci today and promptly denied by
Justice Bolitha j. Laws in District
Court.
The motion came as Prosecuting
Attorney John j. Wilson dramat-
ically brought to an end the sum-
nation of the Governments case
against the local numbers barons
and their tax consultant, Gordon
L. r. Sadur.
"Sadur is a liar. Sadur is a
cheat. Sadur is a crooked &C.
countant. Don't be fooled by this
softvaiced representation of the
Warning mob" Wilson said.
ASKS MISTRIAL
After the word mob" Defense
Attorney Harry T. Whelan,
jumped to his. feet and, address
ing the court, asked for the re-
moval of the jury and mistrial
on the ground that the word
''mob" so prejudiced the jurors
that no ruling the court gave
would overcome their bias. JUS
tice Laws instructed the jury not
to consider the word mob" in a
prejudicial sense.
Wilson also asked the jury of
II men and one woman to con-
slider this:
Added or Subtracted proper
~, the 1885 book of the War
rings shows an income of SILL
900. Against this they reported
an income of $500. Yet we find
$4,000 admittedly paid to cor
1Upt the police of our city in
this year.
NO BALANCE HERE
1--WE show Emmitt Warning
paid $4,000 for his house on
Macomb Street and its furnish
ings. Altogether, we have proved
that the Warnings spent over
0O&,UVU Ill 1901 OOCO ULA1U oAAOW
good faith?'"
The Warnings, through their de-
Tense counsel, had emphasized
that they had endeavored to pay
q just tax on their incomes.
Wilson began the Governments
charge to the jury by pointing out
that all parties concerned do not
have to join a conspiracy at the
same time to be guilty, as charged,
in the indictment to defraud the
Government.
LOAN TALK HOKUM
IT ask you to consider this
particularly with regard to the
Defendant Sadur," he said.
Bear in mind" the proSecut-
ing attorney continued, I'VE have
proceeded on the ground that
If q man pays cash he must
have an income with which to
do it. We have established that
the Warning brothers income
came from the numbers bust
ness, and that all this talk of
loans from Eddie Killeen and
Sam Malincey is lot of hokum.
STARTED WITH $4,000
"What did Emmitt Warning
have to start his numbers bust
ness with? According to his
account, he had $4,000, yet this
bank account was not tapped
when he had heavy "hits" to
pay in his first year.
I'm 1885, when they did
$1,300,O0O worth of business,
Emmitt alone, according to the
few withdrawal slips we have
been able to trace, drew $500,
and yet in this year the three
brothers claimed an income of
but $1,868 apiece. Evidence
shows that seven minor en-
ployes Of the Warnings made
that much in that year.
Conjure that, if you please"

Signing Of Contract for

contract with the United States

Sc $780, 900 approved Tuesday by
President Roosevelt for construc-
ton of the most comprehensive
characterization project ever con-

Formal signing Of the contract
either late today or tomorrow will
make available at once 3 per cent
of the loan.
This is to be expended for pre-

lively for four separate develop

gregate an estimated $7,336,000.
The next step will be purchase
of land. Numerous sits are under
consideration and the choice will
be dictated by asking prices, con-
domination costs and suitability.
Also on the Alley Dwelling
