0'Connor Advised
Him NottoT
Truth, Says Hill
Bermuda Censor Tells
Of lntercepting Holt
Manuscript, Viereek Sent

George Hill, former clerk in the
Office of Representative Fish, Re
publican, of New York, told a
District Court jury today that
Attorney John J. O'Connor, a
former member of the House
from New York, told him not to
tell the truth at Hills own trial
on perjury charges.
Hill is under sentence to serve two
to six years in prison for perjury in
testifying before a grand jury that
he was not acquainted with George
Sylvester Viereck, now on trial
charged with violation Of the Law
requiring agents of foreign govern
ments to register with the State De-
partment.
Under examination at Viereck,:
trial again today. Hill was asked by
William P. Maloney. special assistant
attorney general, when he had de-
cided ito tell the truth"
IT was at the communion rail at
the Epiphany Church one Sunday
when I decided to tell the truth,
said Hill with some emotion. Il
then went to my attorney. I told
him I was going to the F. B. I. and
tell the truth
Who was your Attorney" asked
Mr. Maloney.
The Honorable John J. O'Connor
He told me to sit down and when I
told him I was going to tell the
truth. he said You are going nuts
Hill further testified that ION
every occasion when I said I was
going to tell the truth I was told not
to. This happened several times"
He said that few days after he
was sentenced he finally decided to
tell the truth regarding his meeting
with Viereck "As I've told it here"
Earlier under cross examination
by Emil Morosini, counsel for Vie
reck. Hill said that he had not been
promised any job, after he serves his
sentence, as a result of his testi-
mony at the Viereck trial.
Another high light of the trial
today was testimony concerning in
Perception by the British censor at
Bermuda of a document allegedly
sent by Viereck to DR.. Hans Dieck-
of, former German Ambassador to
the United States, and addressed to
the German Ambassador to Por-
tugal under an alias.
The document Viereck sent was q
manuscript of book by Rush Holt,
former Senator from West Virginia,
called who's Who Among the War
| mongers," according to evidence
brought out by the Government.
An inner envelope containing the
manuscript, addressed to DR.. Dieck-
off was inclosed in an outer en-
velope addressed to "Hoynigero
Huerneras" at an address in Lisbon,
Portugal. Miss Nayda Gardner of
the British Office of Censor in Ber-
muda, called by the Government as
q surprise witness, identified the en-
velopes and their inclosure. She ex-
planned that the name to which the
outer envelope was addressed was
the alias used by the German Am
bassador to Portugal.
"An letters addressed to that name
were turned over to me-" Miss Gard
ner said.

ments at the Federal Bureau of In
