"And this estimate takes no account of repairs and upkeep. "The point of my objection to the whole project Is thnt no such amount of, the taxpayers' money should b spent for such a purpose, which might be only one of a long series of similar expenditures once the start is made, especially In this era of high prices.

I've bad a theory that If we made our organizations wide enough there would be men enough willing to give so that we should not have to ac cept large sums from any individual." "I understand that."

"I. too. resign," he said. Applause from all parts of the cham ber greeted the announcements. Openly defiant, the Socialists sat through the remarkable session, heard themselves denounced as traitors, nnd, in turn, threw back scathing invectives at their foes. Apparently glorying In their "martyrdom." the five men the bomb and the battlefield. It was the first time since they were thrown out. last January, that the So cialists had been heard on the floor of the Assembly. They stood out boldly and challenged the attack. Ab they de fended their radical doctrine they gave blow for blow in the terrific battle, which ran for several hours. No effort was made to present new evidence as a basis for the unseating. The argument offered was that if the five men were guilty of treasonable con duct last spring, they still were unfit to sit in the Assembly, . . . ,, HP.Y ad fill Flnttetl. m. . n ,- .

Corroborative evidence to support the chnrire that Braun held ut federal agents who searched his home for Erwln Uergdoll while the fugitive was nuKing his escape was offered today. Joseph McDevitt, Tederal agent, was the witness upon whose testimony the proocution depended to corroborate the testimony of Fltzhugh Lee Crccdon, who esterday testified that Braun told him of delaying tho federal agent while Erwln escaped. U. S. Agents Were Tricked The alleged delay and escape oc curred January 7 of this year In Braun's Broomall home. Braun'a home was raided simultaneously with those of Erwln and Grover earlyln the morn ing. Grover was captured at his home at Fifty-second street and Wyn nefield avenue, hiding under n window seat. McDevitt commanded the party that Invaded Uraun's home and told today of the subterfuge by which he was de layed from mounting the stairs. A woman called down twice that he couldn't come up because she was not fully dressed. Then Braun, fully clothed, came downstairs and delayed him by arguing. While this argument was going on Creedon said enerday, Braun told blra that Erwln slipped down the rear stairs of the house and made his escape. The first witness called wns Charles Krnuse, twenty-six years old, of 1315 North Twenty-ninth street, in close proximity to the old Bergdoll home at Twenty -ninth and Cambridge streets. Former Soldier Testifies Krausc is employed as bookkeeper and paymaster by the Hall Concrete Products Co.. a concern owned and operated by Al Hall, a son-in-law of Mrs. Bergdoll. He said that he had known the Bergdolls since childhood, and had known Romig nbout twolve years. He had worked for Hall eight years, he said. Krnuse was in the army and served In France. lie was a soldier from February 25, 1018, until July 23, 1010. He told of meeting Grover two days after he left the service, and of meet ing hira frequently after that. Two or three times a week, he said, he would meet Grover at Fifty-second and Mar ket streets or at bis own home. He also told of n gunning trip be started on with Braun on November 0 of last year. They left the Braun home at Broomall, he paid, and headed for Oxford, Pa.

Krausc taid he slept with Erwln. Sehroedel and Grover, he said, blept to gether, and Braun slept alone. Yester day Sehroedel testified that Krause and Braun slept together and that he, Er win and Grover had separate rooms. The fol'owing day, the witness said, the two machines returned toward Phil adelphia, the car in which Grovcr, Er win and Sehroedel were riding continu ing on toward Philadclnhia.w.ljcfl Krausc and Braun left the Baltimore pike to go to Braun's home at Broomall. Krause said the meeting with the Bergdolls and Sehroedel on the road was accidental, and that during the trip Braun had given the Bergdolls no finan cial or other assistance. McDevitt was the next witness. He told of the trip to the Braun home about 0 o'clock on the morning of Jan uary 7 this year. With him, he said, when he entered the back door, was Deputy Marshal Kelly and a man named Campbell, not an official. The party, he suld, explained their errand to two women servants, and then went to the foot of the front Btairway.

Later the same morn ing, according to Furey, he nnd Braun visited Beigdoll In the quarry. During the ride to the quarry, Furey said, he told Braun that Grovcr wanted $4000 In cash and a new automobile of a make Furey could not obtain for him.

Furey denied it.
