vaIIee Acquitted
In Assault Case
Filed by Busboy

MIAMI, Fla, Feb. IA. (UP)-
Judge Wayne Allen felt that Rudy
Vallee should have the benefit OF
a reasonable doubt and so the
orchestra leader was cleared today
of an assault and battery charge.
The accusations against Vallee
were made by a II year old busboy
employed in nightclub where
Vallee appeared Feb. 4. The busboy,
billiard Borden, carrying some trays,
accidently bumped Vallee. Borden
charged that Vallee struck him.
The judge ruled:
"I have the idea that Mr.. Vallee
might have taken a slight poke at
the boy. I've felt like doing that
myself at times. Also, l do not think
the boy Intentionally brushed
against him. So I'll give the defen-
dant the benefit of a reasonable
doubt"

The lit hsuicide victim from the
Golden Gate bridge was recorded
tentatively today as j. M Silvey,
so, former secretary of the San
Jose Chamber of Commerce and
attache of various similar groups
throughout northern California.
Papers found in his coat after
he had leaped from a point about
500 feet south of the center of the
giant span showed the victim had
been respondent over financial
worries.
A note to George Smith, a tavern
owner to whom Silvey addressed
one of four notes, also showed he
had been estranged from his wife
for several months.
Sergt r. E. Hewitt of the state
highway patrol, said he had dis
suaded Silvey from a plan to leap
from the bridge several weeks ago.
