Sam Brown, the five-foot- four

to assaulting Tony Wakeman while
the latter was broadcasting August

pended sentence of $50 days in jail
or $50 fine In Municipal Court to-
day by Judge Nathan B. Margold.
Judge Margold said he was not
placing Brown on probation for the
assault. which resulted in Wake
mans having 10 stitches taken in

people with criminal tendencies. d"
The judge said he was suspending
the sentence because he felt Mr.
Brown had learned his lesson.
The battle royal. according to
WINK studio officials, started after
Brown "scooped" Wakeman by
broadcasting the results of the third
race. which completes the winning
combination in the numbers lottery
Wakeman, according to studio Off
cials, claimed that Brown wa.
Stealing his show" and rushed into
Browns studio and slapped him

Nye Asks Grand Jury
Inquiry on Purported
Plot 10 Oppose Him
By the Associated Press.


BISMARCK, N. Oak, Sept. 3d.
Senator Nye, Republican, of North
Dakota, suggested today in a. tele-
gram to Chairman Green of the
Senate Campaign Expenditures
Committee that a Federal grand
jury or the committee investigate
the reported offer of money to a
war veteran to be a candidate
against senator Nye in the June
primaries.
He urged that a grand jury de-
termine the question of perjury in
testimony concerning the DE Witt
incident" in which Fay c. De Witt,
Minot World War veteran, said in a
sworn affidavit that he was offered,
but refused, $4,000 to oppose Sem
ator Nye.
Mr.. De Witt said in his affidavit
that the offer was made by a man
named Tom keenan,, later identified
by Senator Nye in a speech on the
Senate floor as Joseph B. Keenan,,
former Assistant Attorney General.
Mr.. De Witt said the offer was made
in Washington Hotel and that
Mr.. keenan, was accompanied by
Senator LANCER of North Dakota.
Both Mr.. keenan, and Senator
LANCER have denied that Mr.. keenan,
made any proffer of money to
finance a campaign for Mr.. De Witt.
In his telegram Senator Nye said
in part:
six witnesses have sworn to the
truth of the offer in their presence
of large money available to Service
man Fay Dewitt if he would consent
to become candidate for United
States Senator in a three-way fight
in North Dakota.
But, against their sworn informa-
ton, you have heard limited denials
by the only other two men present
in that Washington hotel room
where the political propositioning
allegedly was undertaken.
why not submit the problem to
a grand Jury undertaking to ascer-
tain who is guilty of perjury and the
ascertainment of the prospect that
law was violated in certain promises
allegedly made in that hotel room
meeting?
Better still, why would it not be
proper for your committee, charged
with certain responsibilities, to sum-
mon all the witnesses, the S ixwho
assent and the two who deny, before
your committee to appear under
oath for examination and cross-ex-
amination?"

Klein Appeals for Bail
After Sentence for
Quitting Sedition Trial
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES

~ SEAASA EN- D1SOONE 0ONE0e
Henry H. Klein, . former defense
attorney In the sedition case, who
was sentenced in District Court
yesterday to serve 90 days In Jail
for quitting the trial without per-
mission, asked the Court of Appeals
today to set bail for his release
pending an appeal.
Mr.. Klein was denied bail by Chief
Justice Edward G. Eicher.
The New York attorneys petition
for bail, filed by his attorney, James
j, Laughlin, indicated Mr.. Klein
would not avail himself Of the
alternative which Justice Eicher
gave him Of gaining release at the
Yend Of 10 days by returning to the
defense Of his former client, Col.
Eugene N. Sanctuary.
For Mr.. Klein to resume his place
at the mass trial. Mr.. Laughlin's
petition said, would be "untenable.
as it would not be fair to the ap-
pellant and not fair to Col. Sane
tuary"
Denies Deserving Client.
The petition also pointed out that
II Mr.. Klein were refused bail he
undoubtedly would serve the 80 days
before the case could be reviewed
by the Court of Appeals.
Mr.. Klein was found guilty of
contempt of court after a hearing
at which he denied he deserted"
his client. He contended he left the
trial because he had been intimi-
dated by the presiding Judge with
two contempt fines and was in fear
Of his life because of threats made
by numerous persons In New York
and Washington.
Mr.. Laughlin, also a former de-
fense attorney in the sedition case,
was ousted from the trial because
he filed in Congress a petition ask
ing the impeachment of Justice
Eicher. Mr.. Laughlin represented
Mr.. Klein at the contempt hearing.
Lost Long Fight.
Justice Eicher said he could not
avoid concluding that there was a
connection between the exclusion of
Mr.. Laughlin from the trial and the
disappearance of Mr.. Klein, since
these events occurred 50 close to-
gether.
Mr.. Klein was returned from New
York. his home, after losing a two
month fight in Federal Court there
to avoid removal. He contended
District oCurt was without author
ity to have him brought back.
The sedition trial will be resumed
Monday after recess since Thurs
day.
