with Murray's fee. The attorney, who said his fee had been only $25o, testified he never received any of it.
 The forgery charges were based on entries Kuhn had made in bund records and checkbook stubs relative to the $500,
 The defense contended that un- der the bund's "fuehrerprinzip," or leadership principle, Kuhn had the right to use the organizations money any way he saw fit, even to throwing 1t down sewer"
 The indictment against Kuhn originally contained 12 counts, two of which were quashed before the trial started. Wallace later dis. missed five additional charges in which the bund leader was accused of stealing $4,424 in bund receipts for which no deposit records were found. The judge said the mere fact the money was not deposited did not constitute evidence 1t was stolen.

 Kuhn was convicted by a jury oi i2 business men last Wednesday night
 The verdict ended a 20-day trial featured by the reading of half a dozen love letters Kuhn wrote to MrO. Camp.
 Letters to Mrs. Camp
 The letters, showing the authors unfamiliarity with the English language, were filled with burning phrases, marriage plans and allu- sions to his troubles with the law. Kuhn's favorite term for the blond Mrs. Camp was my golden angel
 The letters, highlight of the trial, had little bearing on the issues, although Kuhn's attorney, Peter L. Sabbatino, admitted they destroyed the Bund leaders effectiveness"
 Kuhn himself testified that Mrs. Camp paid back the money he had advanced her
 The state called Mrs. Camp and she smilingly testified that Kuhn had asked her to get a Reno divorce so they might be married. She ad- mitted that she paid back only $500 of the $7i7 to Kuhn, not to the bwNd.

 the point in question.
 Essex then handed over the days receipts, estimated at more than $50.
 Pushed Into Closet
 Before the bandits left, Essex said. they pushed him into a closet warn- ing him that if he attempted to shout they would shoot. They tried to lock the closet, Essex said, but failing, they pushed him into a sec. ond closet. They couldn't lock this either, Essex said, so with a final warning to keep quiet, they fled in the direction of Exchange Place, leaving behind the pail of gasoline which had served as their first pre- text. Considerable delay was caused in getting police to the scene because Essex had been relieved of his last nickel, and a nickel was needed for the pay-telephone in the station.
 Finally Gets Coin
 Finally Essex obtained the coin from a passing motorist, and after asking him to notify a policeman he rushed back to the station and called his brother, the manager. The motorist meanwhile had found an officer and told him of the rob- bery. The obcer called headquar- ters and squad cars and Detective Sergt. Anthony Mariana were dis patched to the scene.
 Essex described one of the robbers as being about feet, inches tall, weighing 150 pounds, and wearing a brown suede jacket, blue pencil- striped trousers and a soft brown hat. The other was described as taller and heavier, and wearing blue over-alls under a brown overcoat.
