BONDSMEN ARE
 GIVEN BOUNCE
LOiterers in Boston Fed- eral Courthouse Corridor
 Ousted Today

Boston, July 26-(UP) - Fifteen professional bondsmen, alleged num- ber-pool operators and "other un- derworld characters" today were or- dered to vacate the federal court house corridor outside the rooms where the grand jury is investigat- ing a $20,000 900 nationwide fake lot tery syndicate.
 Assistant U. s. Attorney Jackson J. Holtz, who issued the order, said the loiterers had been "jotting down the names of witnesses entering the jury-room."
 He said federal officials had promised leniency to none of sev- eral prospective defendants who have volunteered to testify and CO., operate" in the investigation of the syndicate which allegedly perpe- trated @ swindle in the guise of a charity fund in memory of Will Rogers.
 Twelve accused syndicate agents, mostly from New England, and po- lice officials and postal inspectors appeared before the jury today. Prosecutors hoped presentation of evidence would be completed Hate tomorrow or Friday"
 Owen D. Young, New York finan- cier and chairman of the Will Rog- CTS Memorial Commission, was scheduled to appear tomorrow. His testimony was expected to corrobo- rate that of Mrs. Rogers, the cow boy humorist's widow, who was un- derstood to have told investigators Monday that the family never had authorized such lottery.

spiracy as originally conceived and subsequently, carried out contem- plated bringing to pass a continu- ous result that could not continue through all of the years, without the continuous cooperation of all of the accused to keep 1t up.
 Judge Ingflis is asked to tell the jury 1t is not necessary that a per- son to be criminally liable should be acquainted with others engaged in a conspiracy.
 Continuing, Alcorn asks the judge to say that the proof of the actual combination or conspiracy is not often made by direct, open and positive evidence; but more general ly and more naturally, by proving repetition of acts of a character conducting to show mutual pur- pose. In such case, M is seldom true that any one act taken by itself can be detected as tending to prove a combination; but when 1t is seen in connection with other acts, its true nature may be dis- covered. And so, as this species of proof is multiplied @ strong case of unlawful conspiracy is often es- tablished.
 The state claims that similar acts of the accused were repeated from 1930 to May, 1888, in such @ man. rer as to show conclusiyely the

i In 6 six page, p paragraph docu- nient, signed by Special Prosecutor Alcorn and his two assistants, Hugh M. Alcorn, Jr., and Harold E. Nit phell, concentration Is on the claims kf1at a single conspiracy was in oper- ation, and not a group of conspir- acies as alleged by the defense. l All Participated
 'The state claims that there was one single conspiracy participated ir by all of the accused, to cheat and defraud the City of Waterbury, that the conspiracy started in 1880 and continued down to the date of the Information, which was May 19 ae38," the writ states.
 Tt is not necessary that all oi khe defendants be acquainted with all of the other defendants, so long as each defendant acted with full Knowledge of his part in the con spiracy to defraud the city and had Knowledge of the part played by al least one other of the defendants in the furtherance of the conspiracy it continues.
 The mere fact that these accused Individually or in groups performed different tasks desgined to effectu- ate the common end to defraud the city of Waterbury and the resi- dents and taxpayers thereof does not split up one continuing conspir- acy into several different conspir- ncies.
 It is claimed that each accused need not have been acquainted with every other accused, nor need each one have originally conceived the conspiracy to cheat and defraud the city, and to violate the char ter of the city and the statutes oi the state of Connecticut. Neither need each one have participated ir the conspiracy at its inception ir order to be found guilty, Alcorr asks the judge to tell the jury. ll More Than One:
 ' Practically the entire writ is de. voted to questions of whether tht charge that the single conspiracy existed was proven. Numerous re- uuests for charge on behalf of thu defendants have been of similar tone, indicating that in the fina analysis, any appeals might be based on that single question-was 1t single conspiracy or numerous con lspiyacies.
 Those who entered the conspirac. later and cooperaetd in the com mon effort to obtain the unlawful results become parties thereto ant must assume responsibility for al that was done before, the state ask xlae judge to include in his charge
 Tn addition, they request tha Judge Inglis advise the jury tha 1t was not necessary for all Of tn accused to comprehend the entir scope of the conspiracy charged b tho state, whether they acted sep arately or together, by the same c different missions, whether the were known or unknown to eac other, so long as their actions wer in furtherance of the unlawful pur pose and were ever leading to tn same unlawful result.
 None of the accused abandone tho conspiracy at any time. tn state claims. Certain of the ac cused started the conspiracy in 193 and from time to time until 193t others were added, with full knowl edge of the unlawful part they wer to play.

mutual purpose, combination and confederation of all of the accused to cheat and defraud the city of Waterbury.
 Question of Fact
 Whether any accused abandoned the conspiracy prior to the commis- sion of any acts in furtherance thereof Is question of fact for you to determine upon the evidence the state requests Judge 1nglis to include in his chcarge.
 It is not necessary for the state to prove that there was an en- gagement in words, or an agreement in words to do the act the un- lawful act, which 1t is claimed they combined to do, but 1t Is encum- bent upon the state only to prove such facts and circumstances from which you may reasonably and logi- cally draw the inference that such confederation and combination ac- tually existed.

FOR DEMO oCRACY's FALLEN DEEENDLks

We Americans are thinking more about democracy and valuing it more highly these days because its inst itutions of free dom shall be kept secuIe for America, no natter what the cost.
 In 1917 ara 1918, likewi SC, Arnericans did not count the cost of oeTondins5 democracy. The cost for soLle was their lives. They cave their ali ill answer to the nations appeal for prote ction from auto ocr8tic force, then en- bodied in the might of Kaiser.
 On Poppy Day, Saturday, May 27, we will have opportunity to pay special tri bute to the men who died for t4e cause of demo ocracy. Ne will be ask9u to wear their IloW21, the poppy from the field Wke19 , they fell, to show that we still remember and honor their sacrifice.
 We will h1ve opportunity, too, to he1 those Wno sacrifico. heal tn and strength in the con- flict, their fami lies and the families O. those who have died. Our contri tutious for our peoples will help 1ignton the burden for those still raying the cost of doMo cr.cy's victory in suffer- ing an6 privation.
 A poppy on our coat on Poppy Day will lne an that we honor the dead who fell for democracy and that we are aiding the living whom gave he1lth and strength in patriotic service to America.
