Damage Suits
Go On Docket
For Trials

A weeks civil term of Vance ST.
periOr Court that ended Saturday un-
der Judge c. e. Thompson, as pre-
siding Judge, left two cases listed on
the docket for trial after notion 10
dismiss in one case and demurrer
in another had been denied by the
court.
Counsel for r. c.. Harrison moved
dismissal of the $4,000 damage SUIT OF
Mrs Mae Bridgers Scott against the
defendant, and the motion was de-
MED by the court. Counsel for the
plaintiff contended for the dismissal
on the ground that proper notice had
not been given Of the filing Of the
amended complaint. The judgment of
the court called attention to the Su-
preme Courts ruling that the plain
tiff be given a reasonable tune to
amend heI complaint if she Sc de-
sired. The case went on the docket
for trial.
The other case, in which derlu1-
rer was refused, was that in which
Mrs. Katie L. Dunn was sueing
Sheriff L. L. Swanson, his jailOr, Ed
ward Ellis, and the National Surety
vi POI dllOll, 1Ol OdIHdSSS Ill COIl1lCS-
ton with the death Of her husband,
Leonard Dunn, allegedly killed in d
jail cell with Puscy Thorne.
The demurrer contended there
was not sufficient grounds for suit
against the three defendants. Notice
Of appeal from the demurrer ruling
was given. The case went on the
docket FOR trial.
Some eight or ten divorces were
granted during tie week Of civil
court, and a total Of 27 cases were
disposed Of cut Of a total of approx
mately IS on the docket.
When criminal court ended o
week earlier, some twenty cases re-
NAMED for trial. Only one Of them
was Of great importance, and that
was a mistrial in an alleged murder
case. Talk Of an extra term Of GRIM
inal court is not expected to ma
terialize in such a term being held
to clear the docket, it was said today.

To Get Fair Trial
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Charging
that Fritz Kuhn could not get a
"fair and impartial" trial in New
York County, counsel for the Ger
American Bund leader obtained
an order calling for hearing on
an application to have the case re-
moved to another county.
Kuhn is accused by District At
torney Thomas E. Dewey of the
larceny of $14,548 of bund funds.
At the same time Supreme Court
Justice William T. Collins denied
Kuhn's application for a tempo
rary stay of the trial, scheduled to
start Thursday. The change of venue
motion will be heard tomorrow.
Earlier a motion to postpone
Kuhn's trial indefinitely, pending
completion of an investigation by a
Federal grand jury. was denied by
General Sessions Judge James G..
Wallace.
At both hearings Kuhn's counsel,
Peter L. F. Sabbatino, cited news
paper accounts which he charged
were "highly prejudicial and in
f1ammatory in nature"
An affidavit by Kuhn charged that
newspaper reporters had planned
to "embarrass me at the trial."

Hindu Mystic, on rial Here,
Hypnotizes Blind Justice

The perplexities surrounding the
case of the District VS.. Charles H.
Cort, a self-styled Hindu mystic
who lapsed into his native tongue
while appearing on the witness
stand yesterday, were being pom
dered today by Police Court Judge
Hobart Newman.
Mr.. Cort, who is 81, was brought
into court by Policeman A. R. Hell
wig, who arrested the man in the
700 block of Thirteenth street NV.
on a charge Of unlicensed fortune
telling.
The policeman testified that he
came upon the defendant, CARRIED
Hattily in flowing red and yellow
robes and a turban, addressing a
crowd of about 20 persons. Mr..
Cort. the policeman said, passed out
sheets of paper-on which printed
messages" had appeared mysteri-
ously after the Hindu had chanted
over them-to some Of the crowd.
The charge was 10 cents.
Mr.. Coft took the stand to ex-
plain that he was not telling for
tunes. but was merely selling horo-
scopes which he produced through
use Of his extraordinary powers. He
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1939-11-07

pays business license, the man
said, and does not need fortune
telling license to sell horoscopes.
Judge Newman questioned the
man on his background and brought
forth the information that Mr.. Cort
was born in British Guiana of Hindu
parents, coming to this country 40
years ago.
The defendant said he was a
Buddhist worker" in his business"
but Christian in private beliefs
When the Judge had this point fixed
in his mind, the man explained that
he worshipped an idol in his home
on Sundays.
Judge Newman then had him re-
cite and translate the Hindu prayer
which he chanted over his mys-
FERROUS horoscopes. This shed no
particular light on the problem and
Assistant Corporation Counsel Mil
ton Norman entered the picture,
questioning the man on aspects Of
Oriental religion.
The impression got around that
neither Mr.. Norman or the Hindu"
was an authority on the field. Judge
Newman, fairly well baffled at this
point. took the case under advise
ment.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 7 (P.-
-Four of eight Federal prisoners who
escaped from the Henrico County
Jail Sunday night were still unre-
ported today, while three Of the
fugitives were being held in North
Carolina and the fourth was in
custody here.
The latest arrest came just before
midnight last night. when police ap-
pretended Walter Smith, %, of Gin
cinnati in the Chesapeake & Ohio
Railway yards here. The officers
had been tipped by a railroad crew
that man in prison garb was in
the yards.
Smith told officers Joe Sheppard
and William j. Eacho who made
the arrest, that he caught a freight
train from Richmond to Raleigh
Sunday night and had returned to
Richmond tonight en- route to his
home in Cincinnati.
Automobile Investigated.
Earlier last night, Charles F. Cole,
rs, of Millville, N. j., was picked up
at High Point, N. c., by Traffic Off,
Ger o. Paul, who approached him
to investigate the automobile in
which he was riding.
Two men, identified, police said,
by themselves as Gerald Montague,
81, of Paducah. KY, and James Glib
son of the 900 block of L street
NV, Washington, were arrested
yesterday as suspicious characters
by two Raleigh patrolmen.
Announcing that he expected
others of the escaped prisoners to
be arrested within the next day or
so, James v. Bennett, director Of
the Federal Bureau of Prisons, said
he had instructed the United States
marshal in Raleigh to hold the pris-
oners there until further notice.
May Take Jail OFF List.
Mr. Bennett later said he would
order Smith. Cole and Montague re-
moved to the Federal Penitentiary
at Atlanta unless the other four
men were recaptured today. He said
also that he was considering re-
moval of the Henrico Jail from the
approved list of institutions for de-
tention of Federal prisoners.
Gibson was being held in Rich
mond awaiting trial under the Mann
Act, and Montague was one of seven
men who escaped from a Depart
ment of Justice bus near Fredericks-
burg last July only to be recaptured
later.
Smith, Cole and the four men still
at large were Montagues compan-
ions in the escape from the bus
guards in July. They were John
B. Gibson. %. of Coeburn. Va;
Luther E. Morris, %, Pelham, Tenn;
Hugh NJ. Penny. Big Stone Gap,

They escaped from the county Jail
by digging bricks from wall above
their cell block and sliding to the
ground by means of blankets which
had been tied together.

In commentator of the supple

They are a valuable contribution
