under $10,000 ball each nnd the nvo police
men being held under $6000 ball each.
Counsel for tho defense Immediately went
before Judge Martin, asking for a writ
of habeas corpus, thereby transferring the
b,U to Judge Martin's court.
The argument iu icai mo itrh-uuiy oi me
' hearing before Judge Brown was sched

m ment was started new writs had to be

At 11 IB o'clock, an hour nnd a quarter
after the time set for the opening of the
hearing. Kphralm l.lpschutz, representing
the law olTlce ot Representative John II. K.
Scott, requested that a continuance be
granted in tho cases of all of the defend-
ants excepting Mayor Smith and William
B. Flnley until Friday morning.
Ke gave as his reason for nsklng the
'continuance that William T. Connor, nlso
of Mr Scott's office, who represents these
dtfendanls. was rmsy in me coun ot judge
Davis In conectlon with the contest of the
nomination petitions of the Town Meeting
rarl COXTINl'KD UNTIL FRIDAY
A continuance of tho hearings of nil of
the defendants, excepting Mayor Smith and
William 15 Flnley, was granted until Fri
day morning on tho request of Mr. I.lp
tchutz. The court then nnnounced that
the cafet of the Mayor and Mr. Flnley
would be argued nt once. The argument
Wan at 11 30, with Assistant District At
torney Joseph II. Taulane arguing for tho
Commonwealth
Former Judge Beltler, speaking for
Mavor Smith and Mr. Flnley. objected to
an argument In their cases different from
the other defendants. He asserted that he
had not had an opportunity to go over the
evidence and testimony with Mr. Co--aor.
and that ho would like to have nrgument'
on the Smith and Flnley writs postponed
until Krldav, when all of the writs could
be argued collectively. Mr. Taulano ob
jected to a continuance and asserted that
the cases of Mayor Smith and Mr. Flnley
are different from those of the other de
fendants Judge Martin finally announced: "Well,
I'm ready and we will go on with that
argument, unless thero Is some other rea
son for objection."
There was some discussion as to whether
the court should accept as official the
stenographic report made during the hear
ing befoic Judge Brown. Tho court finally
ruled that the notes would be acceptable.
CALLS HEARING ILLEGAL
Arguing for tho Mayor, former Judge
Beltler asserted that the hearing before
Judge Brown was unconstitutional, and,
besides, that thero was not sufficient evi
dence to hold tho Mayor for tho Grand
Jury.
In rehearsing' the political fight between
Mercantile Appraiser James A. Carey
and "Ike" Deutsch for Select Council, he
declared that tho Fifth Ward was amply
policed on the day Eppley was murdered
and that thero was no evidence to show
that tho Mayor had anything to do with
bringing tho eighteen- "Frog Hollow
Btrong-arm men to this city. j
Your Honor, there Isn t a scrap of testi
mony In existence Implicating tho Mayor
with bringing over tnese men from New
York," he said.
A tribute was paid to Hppley's bravery
by Mr, Beltler.
'The district embracing the Fifth Ward
wa amply policed and everything was
done to protect tho residents," he said.
'There waa testimony given that Deutsch
Malted tho ofllccs of tho Val O'Farrell De
tects e Agency about October 17 to seo
Samuel G. Maloney. and that Deutsch re-
turned and negotiated for tho services of
eighteen men to do Borne work In tho Fifth
Ward There waa also testimony that aft
erward a man named Clark told Deutsch
that the men who were coming here would
not break the law. And Deutsch replied:
'Exactly so.' Ha also didn't seek to violate
the law,
Judgo Beltler recounted the testimony of
hadore Stern with regard to Stern having
met the Mayor on tho Boardwalk at At-
nwu v it uuuui mo iniuuiB wl auuuon i city ofllcel
when Stern said that the Mayor asserted tne police,
this afternoon Mnvn diiv. .. . .
The policeman nnd Isaac Deutsch were also
rB IfV'0? Comt"l"loner William A.
Carr, chief of counsel for William 15. Fin
?' "S'.IV1 th6 ""'on with the assertion
that nothing In tho law sanctions the trial
or an Innocent man that It Is ensy to
charge a rnnn with a crime but not easy
to cause him to be tried.
He said the writ of habeas corpus, such
as that on which ho was arguing, was for
the protection of any accused man nnd that
It required tho Commonwealth to proe the
charge.
CAItR'S ARGUMENT
wN"0,v)dcnco was Produced to show that
Mr. Unley ever spoke to any official of
mo ..iij- or io any pouco officer with re
gard to the Fifth Ward primary election
event. Mr. Carr said:
The only testimony, he declared, that con
nects Mr. Flnley with the case was In a few
lines of testimony by Samuel O. Maloney.
lie said that Maloney testified that two days
beforo the primary election Deutsch eune
to him for the engagement of men to be
used In the Fifth Ward election. He said
Maloney testified that ho might be able to
get them from New York for Mr. Deutsch.
But that If he did, they must not bo put to
an unlawful use.
Carr said that Maloney testified further
that ho sent for them, nnd after the thugs
were in the. city went to tho ofllce of Con
gressmnn "vare and there the following con
vcrsatlon took place:
Maloney nsked Congressman Vara If he
would bo responsible for the order which
was left nt his office for eighteen men.
..... ...r mu xav was In the presence of
Mr. Flnley and that Maloney's testimony
was further to the effect that Congressman
aro told Maloney that Deutsch had plenty
of money to pay all bills and there was no
doubt that ho would pay them. Tho attor
ney f,ald Maloney claimed on the witness
stand that Inley followed him to tho cor
ridor from Congressman Vare's ofllce and
told him thero that ho need not worry
about money, that Deutsch had lots of It.
At th s tiolnt Mr r... ....... .-.i .,.. .,.
loney and Flnley were then discussing de
tectlves and not gunmen; that nothing was
fcaia In their conversation to show there
was to bo a misuse made of the men to bo
sent Into the Fifth Ward.
Tho chargo of conspiracy against Flnley
has utterly failed, declared Carr. In con
cluding his argument. He eulogized Mr.
Flnley as a man whom Philadelphia locs
and as a man of great achievements.
"Tho Commonwealth," ho said, "unsuc
cessfully attempted to prove that Mr. Fln
ley was the man who went to a bank
and obtained a $1000 bill for money In
other denominations and the evidence
shows clearly that Mr. Flnley's connection
with this case is Just as slight as Judge
Gordon expressed it In summing up the
Commonwealth's case beforo Judgo Brown."
GORDON INTERRUPTS CARR
Judg- Gordon, who was sitting Inside of
the railing, lnterrunted Mr. Cnrr hv .tntint-
he did not say that Mr. Flnley's connection
with the case was slight, but had said thero
was less moral guilt ngainst Flnley than
against all of the other defendants.
"There isn't any question of Mr. Flnley's
Innocence," said Mr Carr as ho sat down.
Assistant District Attorney Joseph H.
lauiano negan argument for the Common
wealth. Ho was Interrupted by Judge Mar
tin, who asked:
"With whom does the Commonwealth
chirge these defendants conspired?"
"With all those charged with the crime."
Mayor Smith, his son, and secretary and
brother, Joseph Smith, entered the court
room ns Mr. Taulane began to define the
laws of ' Pennsylvania dealing with con
splracy. "These defendants," said Mr. Taulane,
"were arrested on a legal warrant and later
held by a magistrate who heard the evi
dence. Tho only feature for the considera
tion of this court Is to decide whether these
defendants had anything to do with the
crime they are charged with, and not the
accuracy of the testimony given by wit
nesses at their hearing,
"The other side has overlooked In their
arguments the main and principal charge
conspiracy." Mr. Taulano then referred the court to
numerous conspiracy cases tried In Penn
sylvania, In different parts of the country
and also in the courts of Great Britain. He
pointed out how Judges In England ns well
as In this country have ruled again nnd
again that all persons In a conspiracy were
Just as guilty as the person who actually
commits th crime, or brought about the
death of one against whom a conspiracy
had been formed.
EVIDENCE OF CONSPIRACY
Mr. Taulane asserted that the testimony
showed that Carey was to be defeated by
the Administration going the limit. This
showed the conspiracy, he asserted, nnd
that punishment should be meted out to
those guilty because tho law puts the re
sponsibility upon those who Joined the
original conspiracy. He reviewed the pur
poses of the Shern act and followed this by
raiding from It nnd the State Constitution
on the duties of the Mayor. He commented
upon the transfer of special policemen Into
the Third District and nsserted that the
Mayor was very much Interested last winter
In the passage of tho Salus transit bill,
that the Mayor had caused this bill to be
Introduced In tho Legislature, and that
Isadoro Stern was supposed to have In
curred the dislike of Mayor Smith through
something he did In connection with this
bill.
Following this, he said tho testimony
showed that Carey went to Mayor Smith
and asked his support of his candidacy for
Select Council before filing his nomination
papers. When ho appeared there, the Mayor
refused that support, Mr. Taulano said the
testimony showed.
Mr. Taulane then asked the court what
need there was for Carey to ask tho Mayor
for his support unless It was because tho
Mavor could help him through his office, the
city officeholders in tho ward and through
would not Interpret "going tho limit"
clergyman would.
The only Interpretation which could be
placed upon tho term In this connection,
he declared, was that all of the power and
nil of tho strength of the administration
was to bo borne down upon the political
opponents.
"How can a mayor go the limit without
violating the Shern law?" -he nsked.
Linking up the Mnyor's various asser
tions, Mr. Taulane vnsserted that Stern met
him on the Boardwalk In Atlantic City a
few days after Mr. Carey's Interview and
told him then nnd there that ho acted as
he did In Harrlsburg on his own responsi
bility, and that his. Stern's act, should not
prejudice the Mayor against Cnrey.
Again the Mayor reiterated his assertion
that ho would "go the limit ngainst Carey.'
and Mr. Taulane declared that this waB
tho second time the Mayor had made this
assertion and that It was made to two dif
ferent persons.
Mr. Taulano then took up the result of
Mayor Smith's declaration that he would
"go the limit" against Carey. He said
there were seventy policemen In the Third
District and that t'wenty-seven of this sev
enty were transferred He also said that
tho information of the transfer of nil of
these policemen was contained in Carey's let
ter, which was delivered to Mayor Smith
In Atlantic City on September 8 by Mr.
Stern.
BENNETT ARRAIGNED
Mr. Taulano bitterly arraigned Lieutenant
Bennett, of tho Third district police station,
and referred to the report of Detectives
Walsh nnd IStrangc, both of whom arc
attached to the staff of former Captain ot
Detectives Albert Souder, who now Is per
sonal Investigator for the Mayor.
Mr. Taulane said that the report of I.e-
Strnnge and Walsh Into tho affairs in the
Fifth Ward told many days beforo Eppley
was killed that tho ward was the scene of
terrorism of the worst kind. ,
"Detective Walsh testified." said McFar
lnnd. "that never before In his career ns
a pollcemnn had he seen such pollco ac
tivity. The report of those men was sub
mitted to tho Mayor."
Other cases of persecution by tho police
before the Eppley murder were mentioned
by Mr. Taulane. One of tho cases that he
cited was that of tho case of lanowltch.
a restaurant proprietor, who attempted sui
cide after the police had persecuted him.
In attempting to prove, that tho Mayor
knew what was going on In tho Fifth Ward
before the murder, Mr. Tnulano mentioned
a communication sent by Mercantile Ap
praiserCarey to tho Mayor. After read
ing tho communication, which was the one
referring to brutalities committed upon
persons In tho Fifth Ward, tho Mayor, ac
cording to Mr. Taulane, said: "If that let
ter Is true It Is horrible!"
Then Mr. Taulane, in n voice that could
be heard In the corridor, nkked: "What did
tho Mayor do? Did he take charge? No '
Tho Mayor, continued Mr Taulane, ap
pealed to Senator McNIchoI to aid him In
having Carey's letter suppressed."
SAYS BENNETT RESENTED WARNING
Mr. Taulano went Into great detail with
regard to the activities "of the gunmen In
the Fifth Ward the night beforo election
He said that Isadore Stern warned Lieu
tenant Bennett that the Imported gunmen
were known to be In tho wnrd. and that if
any one was murdered or badly hurt the
blood would be on Bennett's hands, but that
Bennett got mad and told Stern he was
not taking orders from him.
Mr. Taulano then told how Stern had
telephoned Mayor Smith at Atlantic City,
warned him there would bo murder In the
Fifth Ward If ho did not corns up and
offered him a special train which he had
procured to bring him here
After reviewing the actions of Flnley In
tho alleged conspiracy. Mr. Taulane at
tacked Mayor Smith for refusing to produce
tho original report which was made to him
by former Captain of Detectives Soudcr of
the conditions In tho Fifth Wnrd. These
original reports are still In tho Mayor's
hands and tho District Attorney has not
been nhle legally to force him to give them
up. Mr. Taulane concluded his address by
reading from tho laws establishing the
Municipal Court and arguing and citing
authorities on tho right of Judges of tho
Municipal Court to sit as committing magis
trates of the peace.
Edwin M. Abbott of counsel for Mr. Fln
ley, contended that Flnley should not be
tried because thero was no evidence suffi
cient to hold him.
"Maloney lied In his testimony," said Mr.
Abbott, "and there Is not one word of tes
timony to connect Mr. Flnley with this
charge."
James Scarlet, of Danville, of counsel
for the Mayor, followed Mr. Abbott "This
Is a very unusuil case." he said. "Tho
Mayor of Philadelphia being charged with
conspiracy to commit assault nnd battery
and murder. No sufficient evidence has been
brought forth by the Commonwealth to hold
the Mayor as a coconspirator."
Mr. Scarlet then argued In an attempt
to show that the Commonwealth's charge of
conspiracy hadn't been conclusively proved.
Judge Scarlet asserted that Mayor Smith
had been held up ns tho principal male
factor In this case since the murder sev
eral weeks ago, but that the Commonwealth
has to prove a conspiracy against him. He
further nsserted that the Mayor was not
brought Into touch In any way with police
men or other officeholders In such u way to
show that he had conspired. It was neces
sary, he said, for tho Commonwealth to
produce witnesses to show that ho was In
touch with city employes beforo he could
bo convicted of conspiracy.

to face In Food Pledge Week Is obvious.
Either tho stay-at-homes must snve, so

Starting tho week with a swing, food
administration headquarters announced the
enrollment of 1,710 508 housewives by
women's clubs and school children.
Wichita County, Tex., was the first county
to report It wired early today that Its
entire quota of housewives had enrolled.
Georgia reported a probable enrollment of
100 per cent before the end of the week.
New England headquarters wired It ex
pected to bo completely enrolled by Wednesday.
HOUSEWIFE RECRUITS
CALLED IN FOOD WEEK
Food will win the wnr. Blicuits are as
potent as bullets. Tho little lady who
scrapes tho dishes and skimps at tho
corners In conscrvlnc the food sunnlv of
her family Is doing every bit as much for
Uncle Sam ns the red-headed gunner who
sent the first American shell over the lines
on n "quiet" sector of the wstern front
tho other day.
This Is food pledge week, and the entire
nation Is being asked to concentrate on the
matter of conserving the food supply In the
battle to beat tho Roches. Philadelphia Is
doing her part. Tho President hns sounded
the call to the housewives nnd tho response
hns been spontaneous. Having Just finished
doing her bit in the matter of Liberty
Bonds, Philadelphia Is standing by to maki
a complete Job of the thing by saving ns
well ns spending.
Dr J. Ilussell Smith, professor of
economics nt the Wharton School of the
I nlyerslty of Pennsylvania nnd chairman
of the food supply department of tho com
mittee of public safety. Is In charge of the
local campaign llts was in consultation
this morning with heads of various organl-
Tllnn. n . t. n nl... ...1.1. ...
......... a ,v wc fiiy wiin ii vipw to systema
tizing and organizing tho work that lies
ahead.
At noon today Doctor Smith Issued the
following statement regarding tho work be
ing done in Philadelphia
"The city school system Is helping with
tha State and national movement to make
this an effective week for food conservation
at Mr, Hoover had planned.
"Mr, Oratz, ot the school board and
Doctor Oarber, superintendent of schools,
are assisting In every way they can.
"A letter Is going out from the central
office to each principal, urging him tn have
every teacher explain the food pledge to
every pupil.
"Pledge catds will he sent out from the
city food committee to alt the schools, so
that by the end ot the week every pupil In
the Philadelphia schools will be taking
homo to the mother of tha family n pledge
card and a statement explaining what It
stands for, so that our registration, In
which you made such a fine mark last sum
mer, should by this means bo made even
mora complete."
The peldge cards that nre being dis
tributed are tho same as those sent out In
the early days of the campaign for food
conservation shortly nfter tho appointment
of Herbert C. Hoover as national food ad
ministrator. Tho pledge Is addressed to
the food administration and reads as fol
lows :
"I am glad to Join you In the service of
food conservation for our nation, nnd I
hereby accept membership In the United
States Food Administration, pledging my
self to carry out the directions and advice
of tho food administrator In my home, In
so far ns my circumstances will permit."
Tho actual work of showing how prac
tical food conservation can e put Into
effect will be done largely by the women's
organizations of the city. These organiza
tions have, without exception, taken an
active Interest In the campaign for con
servation, and there Is no doubt that the
results ot the "Food Pledge Week" will be
seen In the eventual winning of the wnr by
the forces of democracy
