Justice Laws 10 Move
Into New Courtroom

Justice Bolitha j. Laws, the newest
member of the District Court bench,
will receive New Years gift-in
the form of new courtroom.
Next week, Justice Laws expects
to occupy his new courtroom in the
Police Court Building. 1t will be
more convenient than the one he
has been using as it adjoins his
chambers. Since october he has
held court in a room at the north
end of the building, which neces-

IS Georgetown Law Alumni
Take Seats in Conqress

Ranked by Representative William
B. Bankhead of Alabama, who is
slated for reelection as Speaker of
the House, Is alumni of the George
town University School of Law will
take their seats in the Sixty-sixth
Congress, which convenes Tuesday.
Next to the Harvard Law School,
which has held the lead for many
years, it is believed the Georgetown
representation in the new Congress
Is larger than that Of any other law
school. Among its graduates and
former students are three members
Of the Senate, including the veteran
Senator John H. Bankhead of Ala
bama, brother of the Speaker.
Officials of the university were
gratif1ed over the national recogni-
ton given the law alumni in the
recent elections, especially as George
town Is preparing to celebrate it's
sesqui-centennial anniversary this
yeay.s The schools delegation in
Congress was increased by five new
members, two of whom made sue
cessful comebacks after previous de-
featsss
Graduates Of 1893 and 1895.
The two Bankheads, oldest in
point of service, were graduated from
Georgetown within two years of each
other, the Senaetor in 1893 and the
Speaker in 1895. Senator Joseph C.
O'Mahoney of Wyoming and Senator
Dennis Chavez of New Mexico,
Democrats, both were graduated
from the school in the class of 1920.
Georgetown may we'll claim
fourth, Senator David I. Walsh of
Massachusetts,, although he never
attended the university as student.
For many years Senator Walsh has
given a course in American Govern
ment in its School of Foreign Service
and is counted among its staunchest
friends. He also holds an honorary
LID. degree from the university.
Conspicuous among the new menu
bers OF the House who received their
training at the law school are Paul
j. Kilday Of Texas and Charles F..
Risk of Rhode Island. The former,
out of lay school only a few years,
was responsible for the upset that
defeated Representative Maury
Maverick Of Texas for reelection.
Mr.. Risk will be recalled as the
first Republican to unseat a New
Dealer in the House. He served
one term and then was defeated
for reelection, but made a come
back in November.

time are Representative-elect Leon
ard w. Hall, Republican, of New
York and Butler B. Hare, Democrat,
of South Carolina. A second alum
nus who made comeback is
Representative elect Clarence j. Nc
Leod, Republican, of Michigan.
While serving previously in Con-
gress, Mr.. Mcleod took post
graduate work at the school. He was
formerly a member of the House
District Committee.
Besides Alabama and its two
Bankheads, Texas and Massachu-
sets each have contributed two
Georgetown men to Congress. The
other Texan is Representative Lyn-
don B. Johnston, who was given
a State appointment while study
ing law. The two from Massachu-
setts are Representatives Lawrence
j. Connery and Charles Russell
Clason, the latter a Republican.
Mr.. Connery's brother, the late Will
liam p. Connery, former chairman
of the House Labor Committee, at
tended law school while he was
serving in Congress.
Three other veterans who grad
uated from the law school are Rep
resentatives James G.. Polk of Ohio,
Francis E. Walter Of Pennsylvania
and Edward j. Hart of New Jersey,
all Democrats. Another alumnus,
Representative William .. Thorn,
Democrat, of Ohio, was defeated for
reelection last November.
Efforts will be made to have the
entire Georgetown delegation in
Congress attend the official sesqui-
centennial ceremony in group next

Brooklyn attorney who explained
he knew Coster's real identity. I
sent an investigator to interview the
attorney.
''The attorney was either afraid
of his life, or wanted to make some
deal. He stalled off the investiga-
tor, and said he was afraid of Cos
ter because those Italians are a
bad lot
THE lawyer held an old invoice
under his hand on the desk in
front of him. 'Coster's real name
is on this paper, but I'm afraid
to let you see it. The investigator,
however, was pretty smart.

HE said, 'Okay, if that's the way

of the paper-(Philip Musical.
Then he telephoned me. I could
not recall the name, and telephoned
the Department of Justice in WASH
ington.
Word came back of Philip Mus
icas police record and an almost
incredible past I then began to
believe we had something. 1 swore
out United States Commission
er's warrant for Musica, then known
as Coster, on charge of violating
the securities act by filing false
statement with the Stock Exchange.
Il had the District Attorneys
Office in Connecticut arrest Musica.
Then we got his flngerprints. Op-
Grating under the Federal law is
faster than waiting for the State
courts to act-it was in this case
anyhow.
Frantic Hunt for Prints.
when the flngerprints came back
to New York we couldn't find dupli-
Gates, either in the Department of
Justice files in Washington or in
the files at New York police head
quarters.
But we learned that the prints
of Philip Musica were not at either
place.
ut was lucky break for us that
a set of Philip Musica's prints
finally was found in an out-of-the-
way police precinct in New York.
They matched with Coster's.
ut then ordered Musicas re-
arrest at his home in Fairfield,
Conn. You know the rest"
Musica shot himself to death soon
after his fngerprints tied him un-
alterably to his past.
