Raymond W. Schuck'a long cross
examination came to an end in Cam

after nine uolld hours of questioning.
The defendant, who has been his own
chief witness thus far in his trial for
the murder of David S. Paul, Camden

blithely. It was apparent he felt
relieved at the ending of the ordeal thnt
several times had brought him to the
verge of nervous collapse.
The nine-hour cross-examination is
ld to be a record for Now Jersey. It
began Friday forenoon, continued until
adjournment iriuay, was resumed
Saturday when court reopened for a
single session, and taken up Again
today.
Prosecutor Wolverton, until the very
last five minutes of cross-examination,
i.evrr lessened the pace or lightened the,
strength of the verbal blown with which
he hod been nsaulting the wall of
Schuck's nerve idnce Friday.

witness and prosecutor fenced skill
full; all morning, neither scoring any
Tery telling point. When Schuck
finally heard Wolverton's crisply
napped: "That's oil,'- he heaved a big
sigh of relief.
S. Itusnell Carrow, Schuck'a attor
ney, did his beat to repel the heavier as
saults of the county prosecutor ' and
in this was for the most part sustained
by Justice Katzenbach.
During the long cross-examination

The patrolmen boarded the car and

According to tho testimony of the
two involved In the shooting, It started

She is snld o have suddenly drawn
a ,32-caliber revolver and fired at him,
the ahot penetrating his shoulder. Then
she boarded n trolley car on South

bullet In his shoulder, followed.
Before the trolley had proceeded far
the argument between the pair was re
opened and the woman once more drew
the, revolver and fired ut Potter. The
shots failed to take effect. Passengers
were panic-stricken, but the motor
man acted as though nothing out of the
ordinary occurred.
At Twenty-fcerond and South streets
he saw Patrolmen Alexander and Mot

TO ACCEPT APPOINTMENT
PROFFERED BY HARDING
By tite Associated Press
Wellington, Feb. 21. Henry P.
Fletcher, former American ambassador
to Mexico, Is to be undersecretary of
state in the Harding administration.
The tender of the position to Mr.
Fletcher, who Is here nfter spending
considerable time in Florida with the
President-elect, was made through
Charles K. Hughes, whose selection as
secretary of state waa announced
Saturday by Mr. Harding. Formnl ac
ceptance of the position offered him is
said to be planned by Mr. Fletcher im
mediately. According to information' here Mr.
Harding had Mr. Fletcher in mind for
service in Borne diplomatic enpacity aud
in selecting him for undersecretary of
"tate consulted Mr. Fletcher's wishes.
There have been reports that Mr.
Fletcher might be named ambassador to

tary Is said to be definite.
Mr. Fletcher, who is u Pennsyl
vania has been in the diplomatic

ico by President Wilson on December
17, 1015, being transferred from Chile,
where he nlso represented the United

1020, due to his disapproval of the Wil
son policy in regard to the southern re
public. It is said that Mr. Fletcher found It
futile to take any steps in the rela
tions between the United States nnd
Mexico because his plans were not sup
ported by President Wilson.
Mr. Fletcher was born ln Grecnenstle,
Fa.. April 10, 1873. He pructlced law
at Chambershurg. He was a private in
the Rough Riders in the Spanish

Impeachment Charges Against
U. S. Judge Meets Volley
of Questions
CLASH WITH VOLSTEAD
MARKS LIVELY SESSION
Ily the Associated Pres
Washington, Feb. 21. Stormy scenes
marked tho meeting of the House Judi
ciary committee today when Impeach
ment charges against Federal Judge
Landls were presented by Repre
sentative Welty, Democrat,1 Ohio. Mr.
Welty read his charges as outlined be
fore the House last week and was sub
jected to h cross-fire of questions.
Representative Walsh, Republican,
Massachusetts, wanted to know If Mr.
Welty had any proof that Judge Landis
in actinir ns sunreme nrhlter nt nrrnn.
LANDIS
ACCUSER
BY CONGRESSMAN
Ized baseball had neglected his official
duties. The Ohio member said he would
"unload the facts."
"When you are trying to catch a
rabbit you've got to follow his tracks,"
he said in reply to another question. "I
am trying to unburden myself."
"Well, give us the facts nnd don't
make so many speeches," admonished
Chalrmnn Volstead.
The Ohio member then offered a tele
gram from District Attorney dyne, of
Chlrngo, saying 1)21 criminal and 309
other cases were pending ln Judge Lan
dis' court.
Clash With Chairman Volstead
"How many were tried last year!"
Chnlrman Volstead asked. c
'If you want to know, you can find
ont," Welty replied.
"I'm not going to be insulted bv
you," announced the chairman. "I
wnnt a civil answer."
Declaring it wasi outrageous that
Judge Landls should be drawing 42,
C00 from organized baseball, Repre
sentative Husted, Republican, New
York, insisted the committee wanted
facts on which nn indictment could be
drawn.
"In other words, a legnl way to im
peach him if we can," suggested Repre
sentative Holes, Republican, Iowa.
Tho cross-fire of questions became
hot.
"I am going to show that these base
ball players are guilty of bribing Judge
Landls,1' Mr. Welty shouted.
This statement wna made in connec
tion with indictment for throwing
games, but the questioning quickly
shifted to other subjects.
Representative Ganl. Democrat, of
Ohio, wanted Mr. -Welty 'o get down j
to brass tacks on his charge that Judge
Landls had neglected his official duty.
Mr. Welty said Judge Landis ac
cepted the Job of arbitrator a month,
after baseball players were, indicted at
Chicago for throwing the 1010 world
series.
"The record is in the exhibits the
footprints are there," he exclaimed.
Mr. Welty declared baseball could
not be made clean "as long as baseball
magnates can he protected by a federal
Judge."
Sayn Landls Gave Rail Men a "Bath"
Referring to the damages of $240,000
assessed on associations in the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia under
the anti-trust laws, Mr. Welty said:
"While baseball organizations needed
a bath Judge Landls received them in
open court nnd gave them a bath."
Mr. Wufsh said he could not get
that argument.
"Judge I.andls would not haVe signed
the baseball contract If he had be
lieved the verdict was just," Mr.
, Welty replied.
! "Why did they pick Judge Landls?"
I MrV Wei tV "replied that a letter from
i .Mr. Hunted asked.
a man in l hlcngo, whose name was
withheld, answered that K. M. Landls
as a man meant nothing to baseball,
but that Landls as a federal Judge
meant everything."
"Why can't the packers get a fed
eral Judge as an arbiter?" asked Rep
resentative Goodykoonta, Republican,
West Virginia.
"Thej can -unlej.s you stop it," said
Welty.
In closing, Welty said he had pre
sented his case "without malice" and
announced that he had no other wit
nesses. Dial Declines to Speak
The committee indicated a willing
ness to hear Senator Dial, Democrat,
South Curnllnn, who has filed com
plaint ngalti-t Judge Landls with the
Di" artment of Justice because of tho
juuse's remarks In the cat-r of the Ot
tawa, III , bank clerk accused of era
bezzlement, but Senator Dial said all
thi fnrts he had were obtained from
the newspapers,
Mr. Goodjkoontz and others insisted
the committee should go to the bottom
of the Landls ca.se.
Representative (inlliian, Democrat,
MaxMicliuFctth. said he would like to
talk to the i-mnmlttec later, adding that
he did not think Mr. Welty's charges
had "been substantiated."
The committee adjourned while mera
bers were about t engage in an off
hand disctissiun of the propriety of
Judge Landls' conduct.
