$546 in Montgomery Checks

Mr.. Hancock, who has served

the checks were indorsed by a
rubber stamp bearing the coun-

The situation was discovered

Mr.. Hancock said the check

He added there may be other

"It is not possible at this time

In permitting Mr.. OLeary his

"The court has given careful
study to a lengthy report by the
probation Office in your case.
While it has appeared the offense
committed by you is serious, es-
pecially since committed while
you held public Office, yet there
also appear many mitigating
circumstances.
"It seems also that you have
suffered as a result of the acts
through loss of your position.
and that you have submitted
your resignation as a member
of the bar.
"You have freely admitted your
wrongdoing and have made resti-
tuition to some considerable ex-
tent. Under the circumstances,
the court will grant you proba-

GrunewaId Denies
Bags Of CASH Story;
Twas Fish, He Says
BY the Associcted Press

Henry w. Grunewald denied
today he ever received 100000
in cash for purportedly fixing a
criminal tax fraud case in 1948.
A bundle handed him by a New
York attorney was not cash but
a package of fish, he told House
investigators.
A House Ways and Means
subcommittee quizzed the CO.
year-old Washington influence
man and public relations agent
about the quashing of a $4,000
criminal tax fraud case against
a New York meat firm in Au-
gust, 1948.
Refused to Answer.
Philip and Louis Berman. who
were partners in the firm, re-
fused yesterday to say whether
they ever. transmitted the
money to Grunewald through
New York Attorney Max Hal
perrin. and whether they knew
part of it went to former Dep
uty Revenue Commissioner Dam
iel A. Bolich.
The Bermans, as we'll as Hal
perm and others called to testify
on the case, refused to answer
questions on grounds it might
incriminate them.
Grunewald was asked if he
met Haperin and an account
ant, Milton Hoffman. at Union
Station here late in 1948. This
was the time Committee Coun-
sci John E. Tobin indicated
1.-TWO satchels" of money were
delivered to Grunewald.
No Cash-Only Sturgeon.
The witness said he met Hal
perrin and Hoffman, but declared
he never received $4,000 in cash
in satchels or anything else, as
serting:
"I deny it was s6o.ooo-only
sturgeon"
Pressed for details, Grunewald
said the fish was wrapped in
brown paper in a parcel "about
that size"-gesturing to indicate
package about a foot long.
He said he had asked Halperin
to bring him some sturgeon from
place on Sixty eighth street in
New York famous for stur-
geon."
The firm involved in the tax
case was the Gotham Meat Co.,
now out of business.
Decided in August, 1948.
Revenue Bureau records show
decision was reached in Au-
gust. 1948, to end the criminal
aspects of the Gotham -Berman
case. That was a month before
Bolich. then special revenue in
telligence agent in charge in
New York, came to Washington
as Deputy Revenue Commission
er. He has since resigned and
now is under indictment on
charges of income tax evasion
The committee also heard yes
terday from Leo Greenstein
Monroe Tobias and Milton Hoff-
man, New York accountants.
Like the Bermans, they all
refused to answer questions about
the Gotham case, pleading pos

Louisiana State University,
paced by the pounding legs of
Jerry Marchand and the passing
arm of Al Doggett. rolled over
Tulane. 32-13, today to win the
51st football battle of the
BayouS.
The crushing defeat put the
finishing touch on Tulane's
worst season in 43 years and left
it for the fifth year in a row
without a victory over its Baton
Rouge rivals.
Fullback Marchand, LSU's top
scorer and ground gamer, bat
tered the Tulane line for three
touchdownS to round out his
college career.
Quarterback Doggett called
the relentless LSU attack, scored
one touchdown on a 35-yard
runback of a pass interception
and passed 20 yards to Half
back Charley Oakley for another.
Doggetti also kicked two extra
points.
Tulane finally got into the
scoring picture in the final quar-
ter on touchdown bucks of one
and four yards by Halfbacks
Wayne Wall and Pete Morere,
both substitutes. Quarterback
Pete Clement, who sparked the
two drives with his passing,
missed the first extra point but
made the second.
A crowd of $4,000 shivered
under leaden skies to watch the
LSU steamroller grind out touch
downs in every quarter.
