issued against 26 German residents
of Paris today for reasons police
refused to disclose.
The police said only that the
newspaper correspondents were ar

Those in custody included the cor
respondent of the Berlin newspaper
Boersen Zeitung and his wife. The
Paris office of Deutsche Allgemeine

with the arrests.
German Ambassador Count
Johannes Won Welczeck discussed
the affair with Foreign Minister
Georges Bonnet, who told the Nazi

informed of the progress of the in

the foreign minister did not disclose
the reason behind the expulsion
orders.
Several police raids we're reported
to have been made on the apart

Seven ministers flew from France
to join government Premier Juan

Whether the reported rift was over

however.
Despite Gen. Frances refusal to

still insisted that Spain's freedom

Insurance Murder
Suspect Accused
Of Witchcraft'
Case in PhiIodeIph
Is Compared With
BIuebeord Killings
BY the Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. IL A
heavy-set little tailor from Phila-
delphia's s teeming Latin quarter, de-
scribed by detectives as a witch
craft practicer who conversed with
"Old Nick himself" was held with
out bail today for grand jury action
on charges he was the evil genius
of a widespread plot to murder for
insurance.
Witnesses unfolded at a magis-
trate's hearing a bizarre tale OF
black magic" conjured IN what in
vestigatorS said was conspiracy to
kill persons in New York, New Jer-
sey and Pennsylvania after placing
insurance on their lives. Poison was
dle chief weapon of the plotters,
authorities charge.
IF information now in our hands
is true, this case will make the IA
nous Bluebeard murders in France
some years ago pale to insignifi-
cance," Detective Sergt Samuel Ric-
cardi told Magistrate Nathan Beifel.
The magistrate held the stocky
tailor, Paul Petrillo, As, and be-
spectacled, on charges of conspiracy
to kill and soliciting to commit
murder.
Principal witnesses against Pc
trillo were a 27-year-old convict
nephew and George Meyers, who
was found recently, trussed and
nearly frozen, in a snow-covered
vacant lot after receiving anony-
nous threats.
John Cacopardo, serving a 30-year
to life term for Staying a woman,
accused Petrillo of inviting him into
a murder ring.
He testified that before his i'm
prisonment Uncle Paul (Petrillo)
asked me to come to Philadelphia
to go into business"
"He told me it was to get ac-
quainted with certain persons and
then put powder in their beer or
food" Cacopardo related.
HE said we could collect at least
$500 insurance on each one. I re-
sented his proposal and said I
wouldn't do it."
Cacopardo said Petrillo framed"
him by testifying against him as a
States witness in his trial three
years ago for Staying Molly Starace
in Brooklyn.
Sergt. Riccardi told the magis-
trate that Petrillo, described by
Assistant District Attorney Vincent
P. McDevitt as the "evil genius"
of a plot to kill "at least 10 per-
sons for 100000 insurance" was a
practitioner of "fatuoro," an 1tal-
American term for witchcraft.
Two women and Herman Petrillo,
the tailor's cousin, also are charged
with conspiracy. The investigation
was started at the request of in
surance companies. Bodies of five
persons who died from what was
certified as natural
causes" have been exhumed. Cor
oner's physicians reported four had
died of poison.

Should the next pope be churchly
warrior like Cardinal Faulhaber of

At least one well-known man not
mentioned in the jury-tampering
charges filed against Emmitt War
ring and Deputy United States Mar
shall John B. Upperman is slated to
be enmeshed in the case when JUS
tice Bohtha J. Laws calls up the
contempt citation against the num-
bers ga9le chieftain and the jury
custodian at 10 am. tomorrow in
District Court.
This was learned last night as the
Government completed preparations
for the hearing at which it will
attempt to prove its charges against
Warning and the officer who guard
ed the jury at both the numbers
profits tax fraud trials.
While the unnamed citizen has
not been accused formally in the
contempt proceeding. he is likely to
be implicated in the alleged plot to
fix jurors if the hearing is held as
scheduled Whether he also will
face a citation will depend on the
evidence brought out.
Others May Be Named.
One or two more persons as wide
ly known about town also may find
their names mentioned in connec-
ton with the alleged efforts to in
fuence one juror with an offer OF
money and others with gifts of
liquor.
Those who happen to know that
these names are involved in the
Governments secret evidence point
ed out that there were several
blank spaces" in the four informa-
tions which United States Attorney
David A. Pine filed-details which
were not explained, but natural
ly would come out in the evi-
dence. For instance, the informa-
tions charge that Emmitt Warning
caused $l00 on one occasion and
$40 on another to be paid Deputy
Marshal Upperman during and after
the first Warning income tax trial
in the fall. The accusation does not
name this alleged intermediary. On
the other hand, in the asserted offer
of 5000 which Emmitt is alleged to
have sent one juror, the go-betWeen
is named as Harry Fine, who is re-
ported in Government custody at his
own request.
The impression prevails that the
background of the Government
charges will come out in open
court, regardless of what pleas are
entered by the two accused men.
