asked:

"No, sir" Decker replied.
Costers Alone Knew
The defense contends that only
Coster and his three brothers, who
have pleaded guilty, knew anything
of his swindles against McKesson
and Robbins stockholders.
Under direct testimony yesterday
Decker stated that ne believed tine
stock issue was TO finance Mon
treal factory and that he continued
to hold that belief up to 1888 when
Coster was exposed and committed
suicide.
The government contends the en-

left for Vladivostok, Siberia, with
Its cargo yesterday.
The Russian embassy said that it
had received a message from Hong
Kong confirming that the Selenga
had been freed yesterday but add
ing that French warships intercept
ed it today.
Forced on Board
When French naval authorities
ordered the ship to proceed to a
port of French Indo-C China, the
message said, the Selenga's officers
and men refused to obey, and then
were forced to board French ship.
There was similar incident In
the World War when the United
States warned Great Britain against
stopping a certain ship. Britain
did not stop it-but the French did.
The understanding here is that
the French want the British to
maintain a stiff attitude toward
Russia. They did not want Britain,
it was represented, to release either
the Selenga or another ship which
had been detained at Hong Kong,
the Mayakovsky. A United Press
Shanghai dispatch reported yester-
day that the Mayakovsky had been
seen headed for French Into China
under escort Of French cruiser.

FIVE WOMEN IN

the web of Murder, Inc. innocently
or Otherwise. Women helped break
the case, which may clear up some
30 cold-blooded, contract killings,
and women are accused of helping
the gang become the efficient kill

have been.
Women Who Helped Break,
The women who helped break
Murder, Inc, number five. They are
Miss Nestf1eld and the wives of Abe
(Kid Twist) Relies, Anthony (The
Duke) Maffetore, Abraham (Pretty)
Levine, and Lazarus Black.
Levine and Maffetore, two kids in
shabby clothing, confessed they slew
for as little as 81 or S. or $40. They
confessed they said, because they
loved their wives and could not bear
the thought of permanent parting
such as the electric chair. And
though they could look callously on
the deaths of their own friends,
both were close to tears when "the
chair" was mentioned.
Mrs. Relies, an attractive woman
of Is, had to call her husband "Kid
Twist" at home because he fancied
himself latter day version of the
gangster who originally bore the
title. And their baby son was Little
Ktd Twist. But she stuck to him
through a career that included ar
rests for five homicides and when
he was last arrested she told him
she believed his only chance was
confession.
fearful Visit To O'Dwyer
Then she made a fearful visit to
O'Dwyer to ascertain whether a con-
feSSion would tighten Relies punish
ment. She reported back to her
husband and he began to talk. This
led Mrs. Lazarus Black to convince
her husband it was every man for
himself" thus clearing up the mis-
taken identity killing of Irving
Penn, a music clearing company ex-
ecutive who had the misfortune to
resemble a grand jury witness.
More sinister was the role imputed
by O'Dwyer to Mrs. Lena Frosch
middle-aged bail bondswoman who
Is known as "the woman n iblack'
from her habitual attire. Despite
her general appearance the prose-
cutor said that Mrs. Frosch was the
chief fixer for Murder, Inc, that she
arranged for intimidation and brib-

neys outside of the jurisdiction OF
the courts.
Under Perjury Indictment
She already is under a perjury in
dictment In another inquiry in
which her son Abraham has been
jailed. Her husband and son-in-law

In the end, the "many" won out
over the "few" and the United

to circumstances which no one
had been able to foresee in the

world that another nation, having
found its master to be q neglectful
shepherd, had decided to get rid Of
him and to entrust the safety Of

Chapter Twenty-Three

Copyright, 1870, BY NEA service)
In case Of the French Revolution
the law Of Plato again f1nc-
toned with startling accuracy.
The unbeatable tyranny of a king
had led to q revolution which had
placed all i.le power in the hands
Of the people.
The people, totally unframed
for the job that awaited them,
had, as alsays, followed the east
est way out - they allowed them
selves to be swayed by breast
beating orators of the Cleon type
and INDUCED IN an orgy Of vio-
lence and Uloodshed.- In the end,
the ever-present but quiet major
ity Of decent people were carried
to point Of evaporation where
they were willing to follow the
leadership of any one at all who
would promise them q return to
peace, order and public safety.
This explains the rise Of Ma
p0leOn B0naparte, who was
made dictator Of the French ma
ton because conditions under
which the French had been forced
to live during the prolonged die
tatOrship o. the people had be.
come absolutely unbearable.
The great French experiment in
self-government started under the
besc of auspices in the year 1889,
when the representatives of the
people were called together by the
King. It came to an end in the
year 1904 when, by vote of 3,572,-
329 to 1869, the French people
ratified the decision of their par
Lament to proclaim Napoleon
Bonaparte hereditary emperor of
the French.
At that precise moment, at the
other side of the Atlantic Ocean,,
another younger and more Vigor-
GUS experiment in self govern
ment was beginning to come into
its own.
The rebellion of the people of
TIE 10 American colonies against
the mother country had not orig
inally been inspired by any par
ticular love for Democracy - at
least not ON the part of Its leaders.
But all of them-to a greater or
less extent - had come under the

courageous men and women, con
scious of being masters Of their
own fate - bestowed upon our
country that essentially demo-
cratic aspect which it has mani
aged to N 1intain In spite OF all
those forces which Gin wealthy
country VII invariably place the
balance Of power into the hands
Of the rich.
These fr0ntiersmen were met
deeply interested in political
theory. They did mot really care
whether their country was sup
posed to be q representative
form If government Or q repub-
lie or a true Democracy.
They were willing to fight at
the drop of q hat If any one dared
to challenge their right 70 run
their own AFFAIRS as best pleased
them or most fully suited their in
terests. BY and large, and IN spite
of endless difficulties, they sue
ceeded in making going concern
