CONVICT WRIGLEY i
IN JUSTICE'S NAME,!
IS APPEALTO JURY
Prosecutor Says Public Decency
Demands Punishment for
Killing Girl With Car
TESTIMONY CONTRADICTED
MAGISTRATE WAS DRUNK
"I want a verdict of ituilty in tlii
case for Justice and deccncy'i. sake
that the community may hold up It
head and have it Raid that, high or low,
the guilty must be punished."
That declaration was made by As
Infant District Attorney Gordon today
In his forty-flve-minuto cloning address
to the jury that Is trying Magistrate
Bjron E. Wrigley on charges of Invol
untary manslaughter and driving an
automobile when Intoxicated.
The magistrate' trial Is in its third
day befere Judge Davis in Quarter Ses
alonfe Court. Room 290, City Hall. The
defense rested at 11:18 o'clock this
morning, nfter witnesses had testified
that Magistrate Wrigley was sober when
at an Elks dinner at the Adelphln Hotel
the evening of October 28. It was
liter on the saTno evening that he struck
Mrs. Mary B. Brady, of 722 Spruce
street, at Allegheny avenue and F street,
rain she was standing in the street
with her escort waiting for a trolley car.
She died Bubscouently in the Northeast
ern Hospital. Witnesses for the prose
cution yesterday testified that the mafi
iitrate was running his car at high
speed and was drunk.
Assistant District Attorney-Gordon,
in summing up for the commonwealth,
painted ft vivid and dramatic picture
of incidents on the night of the accident.
Counsel and Court Confer
Ho asserted that Magistrate Wrigley.
niter enjoying himself at the banquet
board, "Jumped in his car. and while in
an Intoxicated condition, drove wildly
down Allegheny avenue nnd brought,
dertth to this woman, who was decently
going to her home."
Following a conference of counsel
with Judge Davis, Mr. Gordon began
bis address to the Jury at 11 :2fl. He
explained the meaning of Involuntary
manslaughter in detail, and said that
if the defendant killed the woman as a
result of negligent operation of his car
he was guilty of Involuntary man
slaughter. H also asked for a convict-en
on the charge of operating a car
when intoxicated, but asserted that if
Magistrate Wrigley drove his car negli
gently it made no difference whether he
raa drunk or sober.
Referring to the testimony of several
ultnessei, he said the magistrate could
net stop bis car until It bad traveled
more than 100 feet. Mr. Gordon ex
plained that in using the term "drunlc"
he did noLtfjean "dead drunk." He
remlndetflWePihiVy that the law says it
is a crime" to operate a car while tinder
the "influence of liquor." He read a
paragraph of the law on the subject.
Mr. Gordon pointed out that Magis
trate Wrigley left the banquet at or
before 11 orclock, and it took him
fifty minutes to travel In bio automo
bile from Broad and Chestnut streets
to Allegheny avenue and F Btreet. The
assistant district attorney raised the
question: "Did the magistrate get more
drinks after leaving the banquet. What
did he do after leaving the banquet?
Time to Teach Drivers
"It's time that drivers of automo
biles learned," said Mr. Gordon, "that
when they drive on the public highway
they ought to keep liquor out of their
boics,,
"Magistrate Wrigley drove the car
the way be did because of his liquor,
lie struck that woman who was decent
ly on her way home nnd really mashed
her under bis machine after having n
good time at the banquet."
Halting hia clenched list by way of
driving home his point, Mr. Gordon
looked toward Magistrate Wrigley, Bit
ting a few feet nwny, and exclaimed
dramatically :
"He killed her!"
The magistrate's face showed a
passing wave of emotion ; otherwise he
cat rigidly in his place,
"Counsel for the defense," continued
Mr, Gordon, "baa Insinuated that Mary
Brady was not properly cared for nt the
hospital." Leaning toward the Jurors,
the assistant district attorney asked:
"Do you believe that these young
women who make such splendid sacrl
ficeti for humanity would lie In such a
case? You know as well as I that the
curses nnd the doctors at the hospital
are all disinterested.
"Regardless of the attempt of coun
sel for the defense to discredit one of
the physician., we- must admit that un
ordinary layman can tell when n man
is drunk or sober.
Points to Admissions
"Wrigley has admitted that he had
three drinks. It hns also been nhowu
that to travel threo and a half miles In
an automobile nfter the dinner required

HARDING IN ACCORD
WTH
HOVE
POLICIES, HE SAYS
, . .
Presitlent-Elect Confirms- Entry
of Former Food Chief Into
His Cabinet
CONDITIONS ARE ACCEPTED;
WALLACE SURE OF PLACE
By the Associated Press
St. Atiguitlne, Kla., Feb. 25. Fres-ident-clect
Harding's selection of Her
bert Hoover to be sccretnry of com
merce in the coming administration
finally was confirmed by Mr. Harding
today after a series of developments that
at one time seemed likely to lead to
cancellation of the appointment.
Mr. Harding announced that ho had
found himself in "perfect accord" with
the policies urged by Mr. Hoover as a
condition of his entering the cabinet,
and thnt the entire incident hnd been
closed with n definite acceptance from
the former food administrator.
At the same time the President-elect
virtually confirmed also tho selection of
Henry Wallace, of Iowa to be secre
tary of agriculture. The selection of
Mr. Wallace has been well-known for
some time, although previously Mr.
Harding had declined to discuss it.
Hoover Question Closed
Mr. Hnrdlng broke his silence re
garding Mr. Hoover after repeated ef
forts had been made without result to
secure confirmation of tho statement
issued by tho former food administrator
In New York last night. No formnl
statement wns issued here, Mr. Hard
ing simply tttylng that the whole ques
tion had been closed satisfactorily.
Asked about the conditions laid down
by Mr. Hoover, which included indorse
ment by Mr. Harding of n definite pol
icy for reorganising the Commerce De
partment, the President-elect replied:
"We are in perfect accord about
whnt the department ought to be made.
I would not want Mr. Hoover or any
other secretary to take n department
unless he Intended to do things with
it."
He added that he saw nothing out
of the ordinary about the case except
the publicity given it. Every other
prospective cabinet appointee, he said,
had discussed with him the matter of
permanent department policies.
"Has nny other laid down stipula
tions ns Mr. Hoover has?" he wns
nsked.
"I don't like the form of your ques
tion," wns the reply. "I wouldn't call
them stipulations."
Surprised at Hoover Statement
In the course of his comment Mr.
Harding also expressed surprise that
Mr. Hoover had made a statement on
the subject In New York last night. The
President-elect said ho had Intended to
nhMunctt.thftitai)nlnnMrnijtotauay.
"but" that his prospective secrotary had
ncted entirely within hill privilege in
taking tho, initiative.
The reference to Mr. Wallace's ap
pointment came In reply to n chance
question relative to an article the Iowa
editor recently published on policies he
mht pursue or secrotary of agricul
ture. "T'nless there shall be some unlooked-for
development." was Mr.
Harding's only comment, "I have a
strong suspicion that Mr. Wallace will
be serving in that enpneity."
Has Vnustml Status
Mr. Hoover will enter the cabinet
with an unusiinl status. So far ns Is
known here no other member has out
lined a department policy In detail as
a condition of accepting his portfolio.
It is expected that the result of Mr.
Harding's acceptance of the terms laid
down by the former food administrator
will be to put the latter in n com
manding position so far as the reorgani
zation of his department is concerned.
Since the President -elect began
choosing his cabinet he hns taken the
attitude that too much was being pub
lished about his deliberations, nnd it
was apparent today that he intended
now to clnmp down the lid even
tighter.
With developments moving toward
final confirmation of his entire cabinet
slate, the President-elect motored to
Jacksonville for a visit of courtesy. He
will return tonight. While in Jackson
ville Mr. Harding was to be a guest of
the elt at a public luncheon nnd to
spend several hours at u Masonic
meeting.
New York. Feb. 25. (By A. P.)
Herbert Hoover todny decllnrd to am
plify his statement of last night that he
had accepted President -elect Hnrding's
appointment as the next secretary of
commerce.
George Barr Baker, his assistant, in
announcing that his chief had begun a
hard "fourteen-hour day," said:
"The matter now is in the hands of
offilcal Washington. It would probably
be inappropriate for Mr. Hoover as a
subordinate to talk on the problems that
beset the administration or those he
will be obliged to meet when he takes
his post."
The statement issued by Mr. Hoover
last night follows:
"President-elect Harding this eve
ning askeil me to state that he has In
cluded me In his nominations for the
cabinet as secretary of commerce. Sen
ator Harding enters wholeheartedly
Into the plans for upbuilding the de
partment and wishes that I continue to
direct the policies of the European
relief."

will attend the communications confer

ulth Ireland.
And it is assumed also that be re
ceived instructions for dealing with the
new administration on the basis of thla
information. The conferences dealing
with the German cnblcs will be the first
test.
It is understood that the ambassador
came back optimistic over the prospects
of reaching a settlement of the German
indemnity in the coming London con
ference on this subject. M. Briand,
the French premier, is said not to be
nearly so bellicose as would nppear
from the French thrents to move tho
army into Germany in ca.e Germany
refuses the indemnit terms fixed at
Paris. And it is said that Lloyd George
will exercise a moderating influence
upon France in these coming confer
ences. Unwilling to Alienate UniteJ States
With regard to the threat to march
into Germany. It is recalled that tbe
French did once march into Germany
to occupy the Ruhr Valley. The result
was that she alienated for the time the
srmpathv of the people of Great n-taln
and the United States.
As soon as France could conveniently
do so she w itlidrew her troops from tbe
Ruhr region ufter accomplishing nothing
but a mililarv iresture. What France
wants from Germany is money and not
militar glory purchased at the expense

as secretnrv of state when European
relations by reason of tho dispute over
reparations are in a critical state, and
when lie can neither do nor say any
ihing to snM Europe if Germany
should prove utterly unyielding, and If
France, as a result of all the Invasion
propaganda in the Paris press, be moved
to the absurd action of crossing tho
Rhine with a greut force
