Magistrate Persch. he said, deposited the note for safekeeping Thursday or Friday after the September primary. The Tuesday following, Persch called ror the note. Tho magistrate asked Fort to witness the mailing of an en velope, containing the money, to Sam Maloney, Fort testified Inquiries had been made about the yellow-backed bill before Persch called for It. The Court would not permit Assistant Diet! let Attorney Taulane to develop who had made the Inquiries. TauUno'a question was ruled irrelevant. Later, Fort saw the envelope opened In District Attorney Rotan's office. Gray quizzed Burkhardt about the re turn of himself and five other huskies to the Keystone Hotel after the Flnletter Club raid, September 18. Burkhardt denied the "mob" had been guided back to the hotel by a seventh peison. Witness said he had not seen Malbney on the stand. Gray asked If a "big man" had met Burkhardt and his companions after the raid and led them to tho hos telry. The witness denied having been taken to an office building that night Gunmen Deny Crime All of the gunmen called so far as witnesses were unanimous In asserting they committed no crime In Philadel phia. Michael Dennehy, brought Into court this morning, was no exception. His ac count of the trip from "Frog Hollow" and his subsequent experience In Phila delphia dovetailed carefully with the narrative of "Whltey" Burkhardt. Den nehy declared ho heard two shots fired before the Flnletter Club raid. Other witnesses declared they heard only one shot. Three women witnesses this morning wandered Into a room In tho courthouse where a group of drafted men were un dergoing physical examination. They ran from the courthouse. In their confusion, Instead of entering court. Carey to Testify Today Taulane, In ending his direct examina tion of Dennehy, asked If he was mar ried and had children. Gray objected. "Children havt noth ing to do with this case," asserted the defence counsel. The court sustained the objection, plainly astonishing Taulane. "Your Honor has set a precedent," was his comment. Mercantile Appraiser James A. Carey, central figure of the Fifth Ward election storm that swept Deutsch and the six policemen Into court. Is to testify today. RELATIVES ASK ST.

A queer-faced boy of eight or nine years, his left foot In an Iron brace, touched the golden casket with awe, and said a prayer his mother had taught him, whll beside him a white-haired man prayed for the son so far away In France and so wounded that he could not make- the journey himself to such a shrine.
