C'ocky' Ware Arrested
In GAMBLING Raid

Clarence Leslie (Cocky) Ware, 80,
q former member Of the Warning
gambling organization. who served
q term in Lorton Reformatory in
connection with the underworld
shooting Of James E. OBrien In
1896, was arrested late Saturday in
a gambling raid on grocery store"

members Of 1t. Earl Hartman's spe-
cial investigation squad. The police
said that though an occupancy per-
init had been issued for a grocery
store at the address, only about SIS
worth of groceries were found in
the shop.
Ware was one of five men con-
victed of participating In the boot
leg war" shooting of OBrien in the
summer of 1886 Among those SEN
fenced was Charles CRags) Warning

jackson Delivers
BIistering Answer
To Bridges Charges
Senator Called the
Infant Terrible end
His Attacks Political
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
An argument over prosecution Of
Communists caused Attorney Gen.
eral jackson today to describe Sen
ator Bridges, Republican, Of New
Hampshire as the infant terrible"
of present-day politics.
Senator Bridges said last week in
the Senate that Mr.. jackson had
failed to prosecute Communists,
although, he said, "the cases against
II other persons, members of the
so-called Christian Front, are being
pressed with enthusiasm" in New
York.
Senator Bridges declared that
Communists had violated the law
ION every hand" without going to
jail and mentioned specifically a
Detroit case involving recruiting for
the Spanish Republican Army.
Mr.. Jackson's statement called
this a political attack" He de-
clared that mention of the New
York case now on trial before a
jury dn which II men are accused
Of plotting to overthrow the Gov
ernment) lis well designed and was
no doubt intended, to prejudice the
Governments case"
If Senator Bridges feels no eth
ical restraint" he continued, Il am
not at liberty to descend to this
level, even in self-defense. I have
tried to make 1t policy of this
department that we will avoid the
issuance Of statement or publicity
designed, or likely, to influence trials
in the courts. It's too much, how
ever, to expect that such consider
ations or fair play would appeal to
Senator Bridges"
Replying to a question asked by
Senator Bridges-"what has become
Of the investigation at Hot Springs,
Ark, OF charges against city officials
and police that they had accepted
bribes for harboring Federal fugi-
tives from justice?"-Mr. jackson
recited a series of indictments, con-
victions and prison sentences in
connection with that case. Then
the Attorney General said of Sem
ator Bridges:
His violent partisanship and his
determination to inflict his own
candidacy (for President) upon his
party and the country has caused
him to throw overheard even that
elemental sense of restraint and
caution that men not in possession
OF the facts usually exercise.
He is infant terrible on the con-
temporary political scene, and is
not taken seriously even by the
members Of his own party"

Speaking at the annual Jefferson

Mr.. Farley, q candidate for the

the controlling hand at the mecha-
nism will be the old hand Of reac-

Declaring that Americas hope for

He recalled that ALI M. Landon,
1896 G. o. p. presidential candidate,
recently sounded "a plain warning
that q group Of money raisers,' as
he called them, should not be allowed
to pick the Republican nominees"
Objection to Mr.. Weir as Repub-
ucan finance chairman, he said, did
not arise from "the fact that he Is
an industrialist, but from his views
and attitude or matters OF public
policy" ..

After a hesitant start the list
acted as though it had rallying

A little support came in later, and
extreme setbacks were pared here
