Case Scheduled TODAY

B. the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, March 1.-The
stipulation in Joan Berry's suit to
have Charles Chaplin adjudged the
father Of her 4-month-old daughter
was scheduled for action in Superior
Court today.
The agreement entered into by at
torneys for Chaplin and Miss Berry's
former attorney provides that the
suit would be dropped If blood tests
indicated the comedian is not the
father of baby Carol Ann.
Three physicians reported such a
conclusion after making the tests,
but Miss Berry's new attorney, JOS
eph Scott, has announced he will at
tack the conclusiveness of such ex-
aminations. Mr.. Scott replaced an
other lawyer who recently withdrew.
Attorneys for Chaplin and six
other persons filed motions yester-
day to QuaSh Federal indictments
charging them with conspiracy to
deprive Miss Berry Of her constitu-
tional rights.
The action was based on the
ground there were no women on
the grand jury which voted the in
dictments. Last Saturday United
States District Judge J. G. T. O'Con-
nor overruled similar motion made
by Attorney Jerry Geisler in an at
tack on an indictment accusing the
actor OF Mann Act violation.

committee of war contract negotia-
tors had asked the company to turn
back $7,OO0,000 of its 1912 profits
which he said would mean loss for

First Lonergan Juror
Sill 10 Be Picked as
Trial Is Resumed
BY the.Associated Press.

BY the.Associated Press'
NEW YORK, March with the
first Juror still to be seated, rival
attorneys again tackled today the
Job of choosing IL persons to decide
the fate of RCAF Cadet Wayne
Lonergan, charged with Staying his
22-year -old wife Patricia, heiress to
millions.
The resumption brought no indi-
cation of a truce between Assistant
District Attorney Jacob Grumet and
Defense Attorney Edward v. Brod-
erick, whose frequent clashes have
high lighted the case.
A special panel was reinforced
with an additional 100 new talesmen
drawn during yesterdays one-day
recess to replace persons excused.
A total of 222 were ordered to re-
port.
Mr.. Broderick, who criticized the
original panel as "hand-picked by
the prosecution" still had 20 per-
emptory challenges left as the trial
resumed. The prosecutor had 26.
Both sides agreed that examina-
tion of the talesmen probably would
continue through the week.
AS the questioning was renewed
the case still echoed with charges
over a letter in which the 26-year-
old defendant offered to relinQuish
any claim to $4,000 900 share of
his wife's estate in return for sole
custody of his 22-month-old son.
The letter, written to the surrogate
Iof New York County, was intro
duced into the trial Monday by
Mr. Broderick.
Mr.. Grumet declared last night
that he doubted that the letter was
Lonergan's idea" Earlier he stated
that an investigation showed the
letter was postmarked at 1:30 pm.
Monday, only about an hour before
Mr. Broderick mentioned 1t at the
trial.
Replying to this statement, the
defense attorney said Lonefgan had
authorized him to apologize to the
surrogate for any "unseeming de-
lay" in transmission of the letter,
pnrportedly written January 25.
Mr.. Broderick quoted his client
as saying 1t was necessary to "be
careful that Mr.. Grumet did not
intercept the letter"
THE letter was inspired in large
part" Mr.. Broderick declared, "by
Mr.. Grumet's recent statement in
court that Mr.. Lonergan was trying
even now to get his bloody hands
on his wife's fortune"
