that attorneys had to be called
from lunch to hear the verdict.

said they were art photographs
for professional use. He will

Countess Held
As Procurer

NEW YORK, May 18 (AP).
A one-time countess, described
by the FBI as the leading
madam In New York City," was
under indictment today, ac-
cused of running a $100,000-a-
year prostitute answering sery-
Ice on an international basis.
The Government charged
yesterday that Elizabeth Sped
ding, As. sent call girls as far
away as Venezuela, drawing
from a pool of 20 to 80 show
girls, models and actresses.
She allegedly crossed up to
$4,000 a week as her share of
the $50 and $100-a-night the
girls charged.
Assistant United States At
torney Stephen E. Kaufman
said the tall blond once was
married to a legitimate Ru-
mania ncount, Louis Maresca,
but the marriage was annulled
in Mexico some time ago. She
still uses the countess title on
calling cards to interest men in
her party girls, he said.
Mr.. Kaufman said her activ-
tiles took her to the Dominican
Republic, Mexico, Cuba, France,
the Virgin Islands, England
and Italy during the last Is
years.
Besides supplying customers
in New York, he said, she dis
patched girls to Miami Beach.
Atlantic City. Caracas, Havana
and Mexico City.
Tearfully she told Judge
John F. x. McGohey yesterday
that despite the estimate of her
earnings she could not afford a
lawyer. He held her in $25. 900
bail and arranged for a court
appointed attorney.
Mr.. Kaufman said the wom-
an has a record of a previous
prostitution conviction.
Maximum penalty upon con-
viction on all counts of the
seven-count indictment is IS
years and $4,000 in fines.

PreIote Warns Cubons
OF Communism Spreod

HAVANA, May Is (AP).-
The Archbishop Of Santiago,
Cuba's most outspoken Roman
Catholic prelate. yesterday is
sued a bristling warning against
the spread of communism in
Cuba but declined to extend the
warning to Fidel Castro's gov
eminent.
In a pastoral letter to his fol-
lowers, the Most Rev. Enrique
Perez Serrantes said:
I'VE cannot say that our
enemy is knocking at the doors
because he is already inside.
speaking strongly and acting as
though in his own kingdom.
Our enemy is inside and the
camps of battle are now being
laid out between the church
and its Communist enemies. /
We must understand that COM |
munism is alert today, ready to |
take advantage of every situa-
ton )"
Paragraph of Praise
The only mention of the gov |
eminent was a paragraph of
praise for Mr.. CaStro's program
to help the lower classes. "The
revolutionary government is
worthy of praise for its solicit
tude for the social classes that
need the most and are the most
abandoned" the archbishop
said.
The text of the letter was
published in Cuba's two re-
naming independent news
papers, Information and Ell
Crisol. For once, union news
paper workers did not attach
a note challenging the arch
bishops statements, as they
habitually do with other
charges of communism in Cuba.
Archbishop Perez Serrantes
was an early supporter of Mr..
Castro's revolution and is gen.
orally credited with saving him
from the firing squad in 1853.
