Mr. Daly objected on the ground thqt the question wan not material to proving the conspiracy charge against Mnlo-tey before Magistrate Watson. Watson overruled the objection. Mr, Daly then nsked Magistrate Watson if It was his purpose to allow Mr. Scott to produce witnesses to give extensive evi dence, and If II were Watson's Intention to "allow witnesses to exploit themselves." Magistrate Wation said It was not his purpose to do that. HOTAN SP1UNOS COUP At this point tho District Attorney's coup was "sprung"' on the "Judge." A court attendant of Judge Martin's court entered Central Station and, after elbowing nls way through the crowd, approached Magistrate Watson nnd served the restrain ing order on him pending tho outcome of the mandamus argument. Llghtnlng-llke action on the part of the District Attorney wa3 responsible for the quick termination of the hearing. Judge Mart.n had been iinktil for the restraining order by a representative of the District Attorney Immediately after "Judge" Wat son Igpoied Mr. ltotan's protest against Saott masquerading as representative of the police. lmmcd'a.ely after the hearing was In terrupted as a remit of the mandamus proceedings lnstltUcd before Judge Martin, there was a race of counsel for Judse Martin's court. There District Attorney Itotan aid h u associates were Joined by former Judge James Gay Gordon, who represin d the prosecution tit the murder conspiracy rha.gis against Muyor Smith and his. codefendunts heard before Judge Brown. Ass'stan' OlMr'ct Attorney Tnulane argued bef-re Judgo Martin on behalf of the Commonwealth why a peremptory mandamus should be issued against Magis trate Watson reFtralnlng him from con ducting the hearing of Maloney before him (Watson). Mr. Tnulane bahed his argument for a peremptory mandamus on tho ground that Magistrate Watson had "Ignored the Dls . trier Attorney of this county" In the prose cution of Malimoy. It was one of tin ablest ai'd mwt complete arguments heard befo'e a. 1"' ' dclphla e urt for years. "Your Honor." he said, "we ask this court to Is.uo n peremptory mandamus agslntt Magistrate Thomas K. Watson, a magistrate sitting In Central Station, re straining him from lenderlrg any decision or conducting the hearing of Samuel tj. Maloney. who is under arrest on the charge of conspiracy to commit assault and battery and murder. Maloney was arraigned be fore Maglftralc W-tson today and thi piaglstruto ruled that as matter of law the proecutl in would be icpresented by private counse' "Jn a case of this kind the prosecutor for the Commonwealth has the sole right to tr.ke chargr of the prosecution. Magis trate Watson Ignored the Ulstrlct Attorney and permitted th s case to continue before him without Cie District Attorney's olllce being represeutei' " mSTRUT ATTDltVKVS Dl'TV "The main and prl-c (ill question," Ml. Tnulane continued "Is not only the right, but the boundeu duty. of tho District At to y . ' ( " i '"in, n In eveiy case In which tho Commonwealth Is con cerned to the exclusion of any one elre." Mr. Taulare quoted the law creating tho office of Dlst, 'ct At'nrney mid the present Constitution of the .State, which lecognlzes tl.e tns.r r tt npv ai n . institutional. of ficer. He also quoted un opinion handed down by Judge Sulzberger, requiring that the Dlstr ct Attorney be represented at every coroner's hearing and placing entire responsibility fo- prosecution In criminal cases upon the District Attorney. Mr. Taulaiif k ugiimeiit was principally based on various citations from court decl slons. It had tn do with proving that ""Magistrate Wu:mn'H court Is a cnuit under the law of Pernsylvunin' and that the various decisions he cited showing that the District Attorney's olllcu niiut lie repre leuted In any prosecution, apply to Watson's court. One of the authorities clti'd was Judge Riddle in the cass of the Commonwealth against Peterson. In which Jutlge Diddle, ruled that he would hear no case when the Commonwealth was not represented by Its proper officers. The argument In this case had been as to whether the District Attorney should prosecute Peterson. From another authority he quoted that the office of the District Attorney Is one of public trust, From another he quoted that private counsel could act in the prosecu tion only in subserviency to the "will and wish" of the District Attorney. In another citation, from a decision of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, he showed that tho District Attorney in Scran ton had been forced to prosecute "all crim inal prosecutions In his county." This de cision of the. Supreme Court had been made under the act' of 1850. Mr. Taulane called intention to the fact that the opposing counsel would likely raise the question a to whethe Magistrate Wat son's court could the Interpreted as being such a court as was referred to In his vari ous citations. He argued that magistrates' courts and justices' courts are among the oldest in Pennsylvania, that they are re ferred to as courts In the law creating them to take the place of the old aldermanlc courts. Before concluding his argument Mr. Taulane cited numerous cases throughout the country where District Attorneys were .compelled to apply to higher courts fop mandamuses restraining lower courts from passing Judgment, 'It 1h rather unusual,'' eaiS Mr. Taulane, "for a District Attorney to apply to a court to ask for authority to proceed in a case In which the Commonwealth is Interested. But unfortunately we have been compelled to do so and tc institute these extraordinary proceedings." Mr. Taulane, nearlng the, conclurlon of his address, which lasted an hour and five minutes, argued on the powers of the DIs . itrlct Attorney, He declared that the statutes do not compel a District Attorney to do many things which he does In the course of looking after the interests of the Commonwealth. In replying to what Jio said his legal opponents had to say about James Gay Gordon prosecuting for the District Attorney, the conspiracy case of Mayor Smith and others before Judge Brown week .before last. Mr. Taulane as serted that the. Dlstr.ct Attorney has the right to call upon private counsel If It Is needed. He said he could cite an unending num ber of case? throughout Pennsylvania Where additional counsel had been called In. But he asserted that In this case the District Attobhey has made itrenuous ob jection to John H. K. Scott's attempt to V-J project himself into the duties of the DIs "itrlct Attorney's office, the prosecution of SCOTTS HKLP NOT ASKED .Not only did. the District Attorney not ask Scott to assist In this case, he said, yt that the proof of his opposition waa yt Mm argument ha was making; to- Judge Martin. Mr, Taulane concluded' his argu Mut by asking that the writ of peremptory uM4niUf, be issued. Mr. Taulane's argu ment vhow4 plainly that he, with District Attorney Kotan and' Mr ltotan's other as ieUiiy b4 ln burning tho midnight mMuiin . ney for1 Magistrate Watson, In answer1 to the arguments of Mr. Taulane, asserted that there had been no attempt to exclude District Attorney Ttotan from taking part In the hearing cf Maloney. "This was a preliminary hearing to de termine whether the evidence 'was sufficient to hold htm on the serious charges pre ferred against him," said Stockley. "It was not a court of record, t submit that when a private' cltlten comes Into a court that Is not of record, and prefers a charge under the Constitution, he has the right to be represented by counsel, "It Isn't a question as to whether justice wilt be done; It Is simply a question as to whether the evidence la sufficient to hold this prisoner."' Ho stated to the court that 'he had hot had an opportunity to die an answer to the petition for the writ of mandamus, and asked permission to call witnesses to prove that Magistrate Watson had not attempted to exclude Itotan. The District Attorney's office ndiriltttd the facta as stated by Stockley. "Thise facts are admitted," said Judge Martin, "The question Is whether the Dis trict Attorney shall have the sole right to he the prosecutor." SCOTT'S BOMBSHELL Congressman Scott, who followed Stock ley, -xplorted a bombshell when he declared to Judge Martin thnt he had witnesses tu prove that Maloney was the solo Instigator of the "Bloody Fifth" Ward tragedy. "We have In a room In this building under guard a man. your Honor, who will swear that It waR Maloney who instigated the attack on the Flnlettcr Club the night before Detective Eppley was shot to death," he said. "We have a man who Is ready to swear that he heard Maloney say that he was sorry thnt Mr. Carey wasn't killed Instead of Kpplcy. We have men, who are ready to swear, whose testimony will tie the crime to Mn.oney. And not only that, your Honor, but wo have u man who will swear that Moloney hired a thug (o kill a labor leader In an adjoining county. "And the thug, who was delegated by Ma loney to kill this labor lender. Is now undei arrest." Judge Martin, at the conclusion of nearly two hours' argument, upheld the contention of the District Attorney that he or his rep rcxcnatlves alone have the ngnt to prose cute Mnloney. Judge Martin, In handing down his de cision, said that as ho Interpreted the law, no one except the District Attorney has the right to prosecute In this case. Mr. Scott Immediately nro."e. and said that if that was the decision of the court he was satisfied. Mr. Stockley walked to the bar of the court, followed l.y Mr. Taulane. and sug gested that If the court had delivered his decision formally, he saw no reason why It would be necessary to actually Issue the writ. At this point Mr. Scott broke ij, and said he wanted to remind the court that his "clients have witnesses now In Magis trate Watson's courtroom." and that he would place all of hie notes at the com mand of the Dlstrld Attorncv. Scott .said that nil he and his associates desired was to see that Maloney Is thor oughly prosecuted. Mr. Taulane then spoke and said the District Attorney wanted the writ Issued. Mr. Stockley replied that he was ready to accept service, and the Court caused the writ to lie prepared. Mr. Scott, while arguing before Judge Martin, also said that they would produce a chauffeur and two men who were sent to Delaware County to kill a man named Duuyon, and Intimated that this had been Instigated by Maloney. Magistrate Wnt'on accepted service of the writ of mandamus, and when 'the trial was resumed at 1:10 o'clock Congressman Scott agreed to tuin over to District At torney Rotan a complete list of the wlt icsies subpoenaed by the Director of Public Safety and the captain of detectives, nnd also Rtateincnts obtained by Scott from these witnesses. Scott. howeer, attempted to make public the testimony he had hoped to hr'ng out at the hearing by reading the i.tatements of the witnesses. Iotan strenuously objected, declaring thnt Scott's status in the case has been defined by a higher court and demand ed that Scott simply Identify the statements and mark them and turn them over to the District Attorney's office. Mr. Itotan agreed to permit Scott to re tain copies of the statements. While Scott and Itotan were arguing. Congressman Vaie. who was on the wit ness stand when Judge Martin suspended the hearing by Issuing the writ, resumed the stand and stood there watting for ques tions. Service of tho writ, as returned from Judge Martin, was accepted by Frank B. stockley, counsel for Magistrate Watson. ItOTAX ASKS CONTINUANCE Immediately after the arrival of all of the attorneys In the Magistrate's court from Judge Martin's Court. District Attorney Itotan rose and nsked that he be given a few days to go oxer the evidence collected by Mr. Scott and the others working with him against Maloney. At this point Mr. Scott objected to the postponement. Scott said he desired to tell his story of the evi dence lie had gathered and asked permis sion to read the statements he had taken from his various wftnesses, District Attorney Rotan mads such a strenuous defense of his right to go over this evidence that Mr. Scott did not press the court for a decision., Scott then said he would call his wit nesses to the front, one at a time and turn over their statements. The first person called was a Mrs. Holtman. Who she Is or what lur connection with the case is wns not revealed. He produced a telegram from Maloney to Jacob Schick and a statement by Schick. He then called Herbert Simons, who, he said, worked for the Val O'Farrell Detec tive Agency until 12 o'clock today. Handing Mr. Itotan several typewritten sheets, Mr. Scott said: "This Is his sworn statement charging Maloney with, the crime." At the very beginning of this procedure of turning over sworn statements; Mr. Itotan stated to the Magistrate that he was turning over every copy to the official stenographer In order that there' would be an official record of everything that he re ceded from Mr. Scott CHARGES PLOT TO KILL He next called Elwood It. Flack, also a. Maloney detective, and John M. Davis, Davis. Is also a Val O'Farrell detective. When he called Davis, Scott gave Mr. Itotan a statement which he said was that of Davis. Scott said In It Davis charged that Maloney had Instructed him with other detectives of the agency to kill a labor leader named Cronln. He referred to James C. Cronln, former president of the Central Labor Union and now president of the Molders Union, Mr. Scott also gave Mr. Itotan a blotter from the Delaware House, at the Delaware Water Gap. He said this showed samples of the handwriting of Michael Sullivan, who, Scptt said, wrote a letter to a Miss Campbell, of the Val O'Farrell Detective Agency (of which Maloney Is Philadelphia manager), while he was In hiding at the Water Gap. Sullivan, a Val O'Farrell de tective, Is the man who brought the "strong-arm" men to the Fifth Ward from New York. He Is under $5000 ball on a, murder conspiracy charge and was a promi nent witness for the Commonwealth in the proceedings against the Mayor. ."We also turn over to the District At torney the name and address of a woman who went to see Sullivan while he was hiding In Delaware Water XJap." Mr. Scott aid. "We also turn over a book of the Val O'Farrell Detective Agency which was rent to Sullivan." "W also turn over to the District At torney evidence showing that the telephone message to ttK. Mayor on the evening of September IS was sent; from Walnut S100, which Is the North American office, from the office of James S. Benn." The telephone message referred to Is the oen nent by State Representative Isadora Stem the plght before Cppley waa killed. Tfc nam of Harry K. Thaw Waa InJaeJwl lt t&i, Mllill,1 !... U.

Malonoy, accused of murder conspiracy. 2 District Attorney Rotan objects, insisting he, not Scott, is prosecutor, as ruled by Judge Martin. 3 Magistrate Watson recognizes Scott, permitting him to question first witness, Representative Vare. 4 District Attorney Rotan suddenly "springs" order on Magistrate Watson, restraining him from conducting hearing until peremptory mandamus proceedings are argued before Judge Martin. 5 Judge Martin issues writ restraining Watson from conducting hearing with ' Scott as prosecutor. Scott charges Maloney with being "solo instigator" of "Bloody Fifth" Ward crime, and declares thug whom Maloney delegated to kill a labor leader is under arrest, and that, in addition to fastening this crime on Maloney, prisoner will face charges of white slavery. 6 Hearing before Watson postponed until District Attorney can examine witnesses and evidence turned over to him by Scott in retiring. Scott nsked that Mrs. I'late. at wltosc home Harry K. Thaw attempted suicide last sum mer, be also called as a witness. District Attorney Itotan then asked that he be given the names ofyill tho witnesses that Mr. Scott proposed Calling at today's hearing. "I will do so gladl." said Mr. Scott ami he road the following names: William S Vare. Policeman (Jrover. Policeman Lea, Policeman Elsleman. Mrs. Emma Grif fiths. Policeman Wlll'nm Seal.

At the request' of District Attorney Rotan. Maloney was held oer for a further hear ing befoie Magistrate Watson. The date will lie fixed later after Rotan lias Inter viewed tho witnesses called by Svntt. Scott promised, to turn over to the Dis trict Attorney's office nny additional In formation that dimes to the attention of the police. SOME UNCERTAIN WITNESSES Just before the court adjourned, Scott turned to Magistrate Watson nnd said: "I understand that a man named How ard Simon, of the Val O'Karrel Detective Agency, who has been subpoenaed, said that he was offered Jl'00 to get out of the Jurisdiction of the court. 1 ask that he be brought before the court." Simon appeared before Magistrate Wut son nnd was taken to the office of District Attorney Rotan by James Gay Gordon, Jr. Scott then said that he understood that two witnesses he had subpoenaed, named Boardley and Stevens, hud visited the office of the Vul O'Farrell Agency before the hearing today and had later said that they Intended to jump jurisdiction of the court. They also were taken to the District Attor ney's office. All of the other witnesses named by Mr. Scott then went to Mr. ltotan's office. Following the proceedings before Magis trate Watson Mr. Scott Bald: "We have turned the names of our wit nesses over to Mr. Rotan, and as he Investi gates this evidence disclosures of white slavery will come to light. "Does It Implicate Maloney In the white slavery evidence?" he was asked. Mr. Scott pointed his finger at the vacant chair which a few minutes ago was occu pied by Mr. Maloney and replied: "It implicates that man over there." District Attorney Rotan said that he would question both Director Wilson and Captain of Detectives Tate with regard to any additional Information they may have on the case. Maloney urrlved In the courtroom at 11:06 o'clock and took a seat In the lust row. He was recognized by many of the spectators, who called out, "Hello, Sam." Others waved their hands toward him. Maloney smiled and returned the salute. The District Attorney's office was rep resented by Mr. Itotan and Assistant Dis trict Attorneys Gordon, Taulane and Maurer. State Senator Edwin II. Vare, with Rep resentative Scott, his counsel, entered the courtroom at 11. o'clock. The Senator was attired in a dark brown suit and chewed at the end of an unllghted cigar.

The courtroom was so crowded at 11 o'clock thnt orders wero Issued not to per mit any more persons to enter. Every chair In the room was occupied long bffoie Magistrate Watson ripened court. There were tunny witnesses, the usual curiosity seekers, u few settlement workers and the regular squad of photog raphers und newspaper men. The corridor outside became thronged and a dozen City Hall guards wero brought to the sixth Hour to keep the crowd moving. Scattered aiming the spectators in tho courtroom were more than thirty City Hall detectives. These detectives denied that they were witnesses. They said that they were merely "taking It all In." Representative Scott was asked: "Are you going to swear out nny war rants?" "Not yet." answered Mr. Scott. The fight between District Attorney Ro tan and the Vnre-Smth police for the possession-of Maloney began October I. tho day before the beginning of the hearing of th murder conspiracy charges against Mayor Smith nnd eight political followers before Judge Charles L. Brown, In the crim inal branch of the Municipal Court. On thnt day the police, getting wind of the fact that Maloney would testify for the Commonwealth, hastily swore out a murder conspiracy warrant before Magistrate Wat son. It was sworn out by Captain Tate, acting from Instructions from Director of Public Safety Wilson. City detectives took ..Mnloney into custody, but hefore the war rant could lie served District Attorney lto tan's own men hustled Maloney to the Dis trict Attorney's office. After a writ of habeas corpus had been prepared, Mr. Ito tan allowed the police to serve tho warrant, Immediately snatching the important wit ness away by serving the writ. An attempt by Representative Scott to have tho order rescinded was lefused by Judge J. Willis Martin, who released Maloney In the cus tody of James Gay Gordon. Later ball was fixed at $10,0p0. CAPTAIN TATE DEFENDS HL STAND IN CASE Captain of Detectives Tnte, asked to com ment on Representative John It. K. Scott's sensational charges that Samuel G. Ma loney was the brains of the Fifth Ward murder and was implicated in attempts to kill James C. Cronln, a labor leader, de clared that his stand In the case was jus' titled. "This material shows the Justification of my warrants." he said. "I said In the be ginning that I would go right through with this case, that I would stop at nothing to get complete evidence. No one has been abje to pull me oft the case and no one will" The evidence Cnd witnesses rounded up by Mr. Scott were supplied by,. Tate's de tectives and. possibly, with the aid of the Burns Detective Agency. State Senator Edwin H.

SEES START OF FIRE THAT CONSUMES HIS CROPS Larrje Barn In Chester County De stroyed by Fire Believed Due to Spontaneous Combustion WEST CHESTEIt, Pa.. Oct. 18. Stand ing on the floor of tho large barn of the TJucll estate of Glen Mills, which property he leases, , Wesley Mosteller, formerly of West Chester, witnessed the start of a fire supposed to have been due to rpon tancoiis combustion which In less than half an hour robbed him of all his crops of this season from the large farm, one of the finest In that section. It wns the first serious barn fire of the season In this section.
