FMGAR WILL TRY
A6AIN TO OBTAIN
J RELEASE ON BAIL
Attorneys Will Renew Ef
forts to Win Freedom
for Client
INQUEST NEXT TUESDAY
Further efforts are to bo mnda for the re
vise on ball of Ellis D. Frlgar, the 43-yeax-old.
civil engineer, whose plea before
Judge Monaghan, In Common Pleas Court
Tic t, for that release yesterday resulted
In failure and his Imprisonment In the Moy
anienslng murderers' row to await trial for
kilting Edward Boland In Nclll drive, Falr
rnount Park, the night of August 22.
It became known today that plans are
being made by the attorneys for the defense
to try again for their client's freedom on
hall,
Franklin Spencer Edmonds, attorney for
Frlgar. said ho would gt before Judge
Monaghan after the Inquest Tuesday and
apply for a writ of habeus corpus to free
his client until the trial, "If It happens," he
said, "that the coroner's Jury docs not
order his release."
Tho Coroner's Jury has authority to exon
erate Frlgar and order his discharge.
Should this bo done, however, the pollco
eay they will rearrest him. Thero Is only
one such case In local records, they eay,
where a person pleading self-defense In
killing another was discharged by a Cor
oner's Jury.
That was some years ago whon a South
Philadelphia saloonkeeper, John McMahon.
shot and killed a real estate speculator
named Leary. McMahon had mot Leary on
tho street and shot him, pleading before tho
Coroner's Jury that his act was to avenge
his daughter's ruined reputation He was
discharged by the Jury and rearrested by
the police.
Ho was convicted and served In the
penitentiary until two years ago, when he
was pardoned.
"In our appeal to the murderer to glvo
himself up," said Captain Tate, "thero was
no lmmun y promised to tho man. Ho gave
himself up and now It Is up to him to prove
eelf-dofcnse."
Should Frlgar bo held for tho September
Grand Jury by tho Coroner's Jury, and
should tho Grand Jury Indict him. his trial
will not bo called until January, 1017. Ho
will bo held In Jail during that tlmo If his
appeal for release on ball Is denied next
time.
If Frlgar Is held for the Grand Jury,
Miss Amanda Sykes, his fiancee, may be
summoned by BUbpcna to tell what took
place tho night of the Bhoottng. Under the
laws she cannot bo called on to testify, but
tho District Attorney can question and
cross-examine her. Should Frlgar and
2IIss Sykes become married she cannot be
called on to testify or be mado to answer
Questions.
The police are looking through the
records in the marriage license ofllco to
see If there Is record of the marriage of
Miss Sykes to Frlgar. "When Attorney
Edmonds was asked If they were married,
he answered, "Oh, flddlo 1"
The Inquest into tho death of Boland
will be held Tuesday. Coroner Knight has
fixed the dato and Coroner's Detective Frank
Paul Is continuing with his Investigation of
the case. There aro moro than a score of
witnesses, it Is said, who will bo examined.
Miss Claire Lyons, 4257 Ridge avenue, on
.whose testimony yesterday that she saw
a man shoot Boland, together with the tes
timony of Boland's companions, Frlgar was
held without ball. It Is expected, will re
peat her lestlmony at the Coroner's Inquest.
On cross-examlnatfeo Miss Lyons ad
mitted that she knew some of the boys who
vero with Boland when he was shot. The
coincidence that she should have witnessed
the shooting of her friend, Boland, and her
dramatic appearance In court to tell of It
created the biggest surprtso of the hearing.
There was surprise also when Miss Lyons
rave her address. She resides In the neigh
borhood where noma of Boland's companions
live and not far from tho Falls of Schuyl
kill bridge, where Boland's body was picked
tip by the physician who came by soon after
tho shooting.
Her testimony was not only Impressive
of itself, but her Interest and emphasis
lent a dramatic touch.
Telling1 how she saw Frlgar stand up In
his automobile and shoot Boland, she Btood
up in the witness box and leaned over to
ward the attorneys, her hands gripping the
rail In front of her, and repeated the words
she said Frlgar used after he had shot.
Miss Lyons caused some amusement when
he told how one of Boland's companions
since the shooting kept telling her of the
occurrences of that night.
"I 'almost laughed," she said, "when I
thought of him telling me all this, and I
knew- more about It than he ever did."

SORROW MARKS MOVING
DAY AT CALL'S CLUB
Deep Mourning Fills Place as
Card Tables' Are
Removed
Two card tables nnd one crnp tnblc were
Included In the furniture which uns re
moved todny from "Judge" Joo Call's pet
gambling club nt 1527 North Broad street.
Bystanders, who wero watching tho mov
ing operation, speculated how much money
had been lost or won on theso tables.
They wondered how many "suckers" had
been caught by Call-protected card sharps
about (heso festive gambling bonrds. By
standers craned their necks nnd nudged
each other significantly when they saw a
ense full of poker chips nnd card packs
placed In tho moving van.
Certain little "club treasures," It Is said,
woro taken to tho olTIco of "Judgo" Call.
They included a crayon of Dave Lano, sage
of the Republican Organization nnd lender
of tho Twentieth Ward, tho club's senl and
tho club's charter.
Call's lieutenants said today that tho
club was "no more." but this statement
Is viewed with considerable skepticism by
persons who nre famlllnr with the checkered
career of the Twentieth Ward Republican
Club. It is known that Call's poker Joint
has as many lives as tho proverbial cat.
Three times In tho past four years tho club
has been declared "no more." but each tlmo
tho club has come back to llfo in some
other locnllty.
Joe Segal, member of the house commit
tee, was a sad onlooker today whllo the
movers denuded tho clubhouea of Its fur
nishings. "Too bad, too bad," he Bald, "here we
had a nlco club, where business men could
get meals .at a reasonable price nnd have
n little harmless amusement. Then a
bunch of dirty politicians had to squirt tho
mud pump at our institutions."
"Was thero any gambling In the club?"
Segal was asked.
"Gambling, huh." barked Seeal eon.
temptuously; "why the nearest approach to
gambling we ever had here was some harm
less lltlo pinochle games with a EO-cent
limit. Only a noisy church deacon with
an Allentown conscience would cajl that
gambling."
Tho attention of Segal was called to a
sign attached to the newel post of n stair
way leading to tho Becond floor of tho club.
The sign read, "Only members allowed up
stalrs.v "What's the purpose of that sign, Mr.
Segal?"
Segal shook his head sadly.
"Don't ask so many questions," he said
plaintively, "I feel bad today. Look at
those barren floors. It's a blame shame, I
toll you, boys "
"Where Is the furniture going?" Segal
was asked
"Oh, It will probably be sold to In
dividuals; we must havo money to pay

In August. During August wo only had
to contend with the cases In tho city. I
expect that Infantile paralysis will showf

Septembcr, when vacationists return frort

with them."
