Trailed by rs Agents.
TWenty-six FBI agents trailed
Miss Coplon and Gubitchev on the
night of their arrest. Only three
have testified thus far about what
they saw. The Government plans
to call at least another dozen
agents to tell how Gubitchev and
Miss Coplon followed an elusive
trail through subways and bus
lines to throw the agents off their
track before they were taken into
custody.
Your honor, I want to shorten
this trial if possible" Mr.. Pom
erantz said. "I can see no useful
purpose in this piling on of evil
dence. 1t just wastes the time of
the court and the jury. There is
no dispute as far as I'm concerned
and as far as Mr.. Gubitchev is
concerned over the fact that the
agents who followed the defend
ants on the night of March are
telling the truth"
Sputtering angrily, Mr.. Palmer
leaped to his feet and began out
shouting Mr.. Pomerantz.
"Just why did he become the
Good Samaritan coming down
from Jerusalem to bind UP
wounds?" Mr.. Palmer expostu-
lated. I'm not going to bind up

Judge Sylvester j. Ryan inter-
vened as the two defense attor-
neys shouted at each other. He
would like to do anything possible
to shorten the trial, he said.
Judge Ryan asked Chief Prose-
cutor John M. Kelley, jr., if he had
anything to add to the comments
of defense counsel.
Your honor" Mr.. Kelley re-
sponded, II can't think of any
thing that the Government wants
to contribute at this time"
Judge Ryan suggested that per-
haps defense counsel could reach
an agreement over the week end
and left the bench.
Mr.. Palmer, jaw outthrust,
glared at Mr.. Pomerantz and
shouted, "Your honor, I want you
to know there is no Ill feeling on

said Mr.. Pomerantz.
AS Judge Ryan descended from

rope in the basement of her
Brooklyn home.
Her mother knew who did it.
But for II years she kept silent
keeping promise to her own
mother that she would spare the
family disgrace.
Yesterday the Brooklyn district
attorneys Office said, Mrs. Anna
Wiles, tortured by nightmares and
freed from her promise by two
more deaths, named the slayer:
1t was, she said, her own faith
er and Barbara's grandfather
Charles Gunkel.
Secret Made Her Sick.
Brooklyn police said no further
action is planned. Gunkel, sc
years old when Barbara was mur-
dered. died last March. He is
buried near Rochester, N. Y.
II can't keep silent any longer,
Mrs. Wiles told the district at.
torney's office. THE secret is max.

She was quoted as saying, too
that her mother appeared in 6

the time to tell the police"
Barbara died of strangulatior

Various persons were questioned
but the investigation led no.

never came under official suspicion
But his daughter suspected. Fol
one thing, a ring which Barbara
had left behind in her grandpar-
ents' house was found on the little
girls finger when her body was
discovered.
Fears Were Confirmed.
Fourteen months later, Mrs
Wiles said, she learned for GER
tain from her own mother who the
slayer was. But her mother plead
ed:
"On the morning that Barbara
was found dead. your father left
the house saying he was on his
way to your house.
Promise me as long as youl
father and myself are alive never
to tell anybody. 1t would only
mean futher tragedy to your broth.
