By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK, Oct. 11.
The terrific hitting of the New York Giants here this afternoon com
pletely wrecked the White Sox defense in the fourth game of the world's
series' and placed the Giants on even terms with the westerners, each having
taken a pair of victories. Benny Kadff, after going hitless on thirteen con
secutive trips to the 'plate, came to life here today and by pounding out a
brace of home runs entered the series' hero column and did more than any
other individual to help bring the second straight triumph to New York. Score:
Hew York5; Chicago, 0.
Ferdie Schupp, tho youngster who collapsed so pitiably last Sunday in the
second game of the series, regained himself and pitched like a master. He
was, so effective in the pinches that the Giants never were in danger. It was
the Giants' second straight shutout victory.
Although the lion's share of the credit must go to Kauff and Schupp, tho
entire Giant team played like the organization that won the National League
pennant with such ridiculous ease. Even Zimmerman, whose stick work has
been one of the big laughs of this year's classic, came through with a triple in
the eighth inning. It was not Zim's luck to score a run, for when Fletcher
followed him by fanning the temperamental third sacker tried to steal home
and was cut down at the plate.

ihe Giants went after Faber in tho fourth frame and kent him so busv
during the remaining innings ho worked that ho gave way to Pinch Hitter
Klsberg in the eighth, and his successor, Dave Danforth, received an artistic
lacing during tho lone frame he labored. Danforth got Burns on strikes,
but a hit by Herzog, followed by Benny Kauff's second homer, did much to
place the game on ice for New York.
Zimmerman followed Kauff with a" three-base drive to the wall, but Zim
became desperate in his desire to count and was cut down at the plate trying
to steal home.

Mny it plrase jour Honor, wo havo called 112 witnesses. Their testimony, as
shown by the ofllclnl rccoid, covers nearly 1400 pnees.
Rcfoie embarking upon a voyago through that testimony I think. It proper that
I should unroll and explain tho lcgnl charts which must govern you In your progress
thiough tho testimony toward your judicial conclusion, and the legal charts which
govern the Commonwealth In the presentation of Its testimony.
I want to state the law In this case. In doing bo 1 shall state much law which
Is elementary. Kvery student of law, though ho was admitted but yesterday to the
bar, knows tho law. I wish to Btato other law that Is tho result of judicial decisions,
but all of it is tho law which must govern this case and the fate of these defendants
who .stand or fall by that law.
The charge is conspiracy to do an unlawful thing, to violate the Shern law,
which prohibits employes and, paitlcularly, police, from taking a part In election
campaigns; conspiracy to commit' assault and battery and aggravated nHsault and
battel y and murder.
As I am arguing this case befoie a law Judge I shall content myself with stating
the general propositions without specific icference to tho many cases.
Conspiracy Binds All in Plot to Mobility
The conspiracy In this case is conspiracy to do an unlawful act. Now, It Is the
general doctrine of conspiracy that when two or more consplro to do an unlawful
act they aro responsible each for the acts of the other, and that which Is done in
pursuit of tho conspiracy, if a crime, binds all. It Is tho doctrine of agency in the
civil law carried Into tho criminal, law. It Is, moreover, tho doctrine of conspiracy
that two or more may hatch the original conspiracy; others may enter It and some
may leave It beforo its consummation; but all who are in it at the beginning or
who enter It at any stage of the conspiracy are responsible for all the results of the
conspiracy which follow after tho tlmo they enter upon It.
Moteovcr. It Is a doctrine of conspiracy that when two or more start the original
conspiracy for one purpose It may bo enlarged in its scope and purpose, in Its prog
ress, and other criminal acts than that originally intended may result, and for
such enlarged purposes, and suchadditional acts, ull who were In the conspiracy at
the time of the commission of the acts aro responsible.
So too. is It 'a doctrine-of tha law" of conspiracy, that wh'ere any conspirator lp.
'the progress "of, tho conspiracy' says any.lhng intended to affect tlTe unlawful re
sult, that declaration, thati statement binds all In tho conspiracy; but It must bo a
.statement, It must bo a declaration intended to affect the purpose of the conspiracy.
It It was so, then the words uttered by that conspirator are tho words of all the
conspirators, for It was Intended to carry out tho common design.
May it please your Honor, I Bhull only refer on that subject to one or two
authorities stated generally in the textbook writer., and with that I shall leave
Ihe law of conspiracy. 1 read fiom What ton on Cilmlnal Law, Volume 1, Book 2.
Chapter IX, Section 6:
Doctrine of Criminal Coresponsibility in Conspiracy
In caso of conspiracy, llot or other crimes perpetrated by see'ral per
sons, when onco the conspiracy or combination is established, the act or
declaration of 0110 conspirator or accomplice in the prosecution of the enter
ptlse is considered the act or declaration of all and Is evidence against
liim. Each Is deemed to assent to or command what Is donto by any other In
furtherance of the common object. This coresponsibility holds good with
out regard to the tlmo in which the purty entered tho conspiracy. He
becomes subsequently responsible for every act w hlch may nf forward bo jdone
by any of the others In furtherance of hucIi common design.
The distinction between tho admissibility of declarations accompanying
the acts of the conspirators and statements made subsequently depends
upon the continuation of tho common design It makes no difference as
to the admissibility of tho act or declaration of a conspirator ngainst the
defendant whether the former be Indicated or not, or tried or not with the
latter, for tho making one a cbdefendant does not makko his act or declara
tion e'vldenco ngainst another any more than, they wero before. The prin
ciple upon which they aro admissible at all is that the act or declaration
of one Is the act or declaration of both united In one common design, a
principle which Is wholly unaffected by the consideration of their being
jointly united. It Is not material what tho nature of the indictment is,
nrnvided tho offense involved a conspiracy.
In Heinle against the Commonwealth, this State, 91 Pennsylvania, the Supreme
Court In its judgment, says:
Tho declaration of a superior ate, of course, always evidence against
himself, and they aro always evidence against his associates when they are
made during the performance ot the fraudulent transactions which constitute
the crime charged, for they then form part of such transactions nnd as such
may properly be admitted.
. So much for the doctrine of conspiracy. I now wish to unfold a legal chart on the
subject, on tho proposition ot murder the parties who are legally responsible for an
unlawful killing. I read from the encyclopedia of Law and Procedure, volume 21.
title Homicide. Each of tho propositions which I read Is supported In the volume
by copious decisions In various States, many of them Pennsylvania decisions.
The Law on Murder
Murder is the subject now that the law Is treating of In this which I now read
from the cases In the textbooks:
There may be liability for homicide committed In the execution of a
common design, although the plan did not Involve asking life. It is often
said that all who aid 'and abet the dong of an unlawful act are liable for a
homicide proximately resulting therefrom and a natural and probable con
sequence thereof, though not contemplated by the parties or even forbidden
by the defendant. Under this rule those who have aided and abetted in

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.
The full power of the Government
was exerted today to solve the coal
shortage problem when the first com
mandeering order was issued. Under
the order issued by Dr. Harry A. Gar
field, fuel administrator, the Pennsyl
vania Railroad, which serves 700 mines,
will be supplied by the bituminous pro
ducers on a pro rata basis.
The fuel needed by the Pennsylvania
system must be furnished at the prices

stances coal consignments under con
tract for delivery to other industries
will be interfered with by today's order.
"The railroafcs must be kept run
ning," said the uel administration in
an official statement. "The fuel admin
istration suggests that operators with
hold coal from persons and corporations
needing it least and that they attend
particularly to supplying the needs of
roads other than the Pennsylvania."
At the same time the fuel administra

is in preparation that will commandeer

The tragedy of tho Fifth Ward ba
came the tragedy of Thomas B. Smith,
Mayor of Philadelphia, today. Swiftly
moved events, swiftly, yet roughly for
the Mayor.
The purpose of these events was to
unseat Mayor Smith, to oust him froWfek.
his high office as chief executive of a
city of nearly two million persons.
The events resulted in Mayor Smith,
being held by n court for the consti
tutional offense of misbehavior in of
fice, the first move in an announced
'bigger move to remove him from his
office by impeachment proceedings to
be instituted by his prosecutors.
They resulted in the Mayor beingf
hold under bail lor violation of thjs
Shetnlaw.
They resulted in the Mayor being held
under bail for the offense of assault and
battery.
They resulted in the Mayor being
held under bail for the offense of ag
gravated assault and battery.
They resulted in the Mayor being held
under bail for the crime of conspiracy
to commit murder.
All this came after a few bad houri
for Mayor Smith. He sat in the crim
inal branch of the Municipal Cuit.
About him were his codefendants, th
officeholders, big and little, of tho Vare
Smith political faction, accused with
him of the various grave charges.
There was "Bill" Finley, right-hand
man of the Vares, holding the job of
Mercantile Appraiser and likewise ex
ecutive director of the Republican City
Committee, which is the brains and the
head and the front of "The Organi
zation." THE HIGH AND THE LOW
There was "Ike" Deutsch, South
street butcher, Vare leader of th
"Bloody Fifth" Ward, a title gained
years and years ago, which had begun
to lose its meaning until there came
that bloody fight between tho Penrose. i
McNichol factionof "the Organization"
led by James A. Carey, Mercantile Ap
praiser, eX'-Police Magistrate, cx-polica
lieutenant, against the Vare-Smith fac
tion led by this selfsame Deutsch.
There sat othcis also, humble police)
men who get $2.50 a day and obey
orders and go to jail with closed lips.
These last were the "lower downs."
Around about sat the distinguished
counsel retained to defend the Mayor
and his fellow defendants of tha
charges which grew out of the slaying
of George Eppley a policeman who
did his duty by gunmen imported from
New York to swing the primary elec
tion in the bitter fight for control of
Councils and the entire city of Phila

the Vareltes.
