"On Jan 6. 1T16. when I received a Grand Jury summons." He went to the district attorney's office on Jan 7 in accordance with the summons and talked with Mr Telletier. "He told me it was regarding Papin-eau." said Mr LeClair.

"No." "And Asst Dist Atty Laveile took the same attitude on the case?" "Yes. They Both took a slant against it. They thought we were trying to gst money." "And Mr Pelletier was sincere in that?"

Mr Reed countered that the State attorneys must have known of the. defect in the commission, respecting the date of taking the deposition, some time ago. "I have recently received a wire." Mr Dodge interpolated, "saying that tho witness is no longer willing to testify and in vain they have tried to serve a subpena on her." ncn, According to Frederick K.

Bryant. New York counsel for the i xcept to stat. that he rc-ferred derce in the tri as a whole. "i desire to state." interjected Mr Allen, "that the Commonwealth lias no information whatever that this witness war ever used in yie preparation of this and there should be something to indicate what the defense exnects to prove," The question was passed for the court to considered it over night. fan which employed Cockran, the anyming tor nis omce.

He said he had talked it over with Mr Stoneman and be hadn't notified Stoneman becatise he thought he would only oppose il and he. Mr Pelletier had decided It was the only proper course. "I asked 'rf we might, submit a statement of the facts.

He said we might if we desired, but it was not a matter for criminal prosecution. I told him in our State it was possible to appeal to the Governor and have Attorney General prosecute and I should do it here. He 'said of course nothing like that would affect his office, because he ran it as he thought right." The witness added that he told Mr Pelletier that Mr Boyce his client, had Grand Jury room." Two members of Grand Jury in question then testified that Asst Dlst Atty Daniel J. Gallagher, during the deliberations of the jury, advised them that Mancovlts was brother of 'Dave," the assistant district attorney, and that they had hardly sufficient evidence on which to hold him under the burglary and larceny complaints. Various Civil Suits Mr Reed brought out that various civil suits were entered to recover property The Mancovitz Case from Corkran, his sister and certain banks.

Continuances in the case, the witness admitted, resulted from "talks or adjustment from time to time" in some of the civil cases. The witness also admitted, reeardine reduction of latter had confessed peculationc laounting to nearly $70,000. Coakley accused the complainants, via were also represented by David fynema-n. of trying to use the district attorney's office for the collection of debts and Mr Pelletier, on S'oneman's testimony, acquiesced in fk opinion, but was "not then disced to nol pros It," as Coakley had urged.

"What did Gallagher say about any claim Mr Coakley made?" "He said there were civil and criminal bults both in this case. He said the civil case would be one of conspiracy.

He said Coakley said they could settle now for half of what Mr? Chase had. After they were in Jail they'd get it all." "I asiied how payment of cash could st a criminal case and asked if that wouldn't be compounding a felony. He raid the money would be paid to settle a civil case." "What did he Fay about the criminal proceedings?" "Those would be dropped." "What did he say about the penalties?" The witness said that Gallagher said Emery, could get a termln The witness said he never, entered into conspiracy with Andrew1 LeClair to create a criminal case against Papi-neau. When Robb began to describe a visit of Jack Patron, alias Snow, Sanator Reed objected. Reed said that the rules of evidence applying to conversations with alleged coconspirators could not apply, as Snow was in fact 3 coconspirator with the Emerys, not with Coak-ley.

After an extended argument the Justices conferred and then Chief Justice Rvgg said: ''The court is of the opinion that there irf sufficient evidence to show tnat prior to the date inquired of Snow had become coconspirator with CoakJey." Refused to Testify The witness said ho. was called eflore the Grand Jury that day. He refused to testify, claiming Constitutional rights. Mr IeCiair said he was again summoned before the Grand Jury some weeks later and again refused to testify. Witness aaid he pleadsd not to the tndictment in Suffolk Coifnty, was never brought to trial and never knew of any nol-pros.

"Did you lose your license as a detective?" "Yes, sir in 1916. ft was supposed tc be renewed in September, and it was about Octo'oer when 1 learned I wouldn't get it." "Where'd you have to get It?" asked Mr Reed, now cross-examining. "Through the superintendent of police and from the commissioner. Supt had held it up." "You sent Patron to Webster?" asked Mr Reed. "I went to Webster.

went to Du-pree's saloon to make some arranije-ment for Papineau to be introduced to Patron." LeClair said the arrangements wr-re for Snow to open an office, ostensibly for the purpose of selling stationerv. It was not a genuine stationery business, but merely "a detective's ruse he said. There were to be solicitors in the office. They expected to sell some stationery and did sell it, he said. He denied that there was any intent to involve Papineau with women solicit-)-? Various reports by Patron and others were discussed, some of them telling of trips In which women took part Mr IjeCIair was -again pressed to say whetheY there had been a plan to "frame" Papineau.

The witness denied it. He said they merely wanted to find out Papineau's intentions. Hint of Defense Plans So'ne intimation of the plans in the minds of the defense attorneys may have been given when they fought for the privilege of cross-examining detective Andrew Le Clair, the Kmery case witness; regarding work-which Le Clair did in J918 for one Morgan, an investigator said to have been employed by Godfrey Cabot of the Watch and Wiard Society. Mr Reed'F statement to the court was accepted as having a bearing on the claim made by Mr 'Pelletier in nla formal answer to Allen's charges that they the result of a conspiracy by divers persons to injure, defame and ruin him. him.

"I want to develop facts," said the silver-hairpl Senator, "which will fur been wiped out by Corkran and must start anew. He said Pelletier replied that people from smaller places came to Boston to speculate and if they did not win they asked him to recover their losses. "You knew, didn't Mr Reed I cross-examined, "that Mr Pelletier had started something looking toward the releasing of Corkran from jail in order that he might recover something from the wreckage?" I "Yes, though that is hardly a com- I plete answer," said witness. i i Stoneman Takes the Stand Mr Reed suspended cross examination because Mr Stoneman, who had handled the case as Boston attorney, was the next witness. Mr Stoneman said he was engaged I about Aug 12, 1915.

He and his brother, i 'icw dead, went to Mr Pelletier to lay the facts before him. He said he told i Pelletier that Corkran, representing the 1 company as a lumber salesman, had I started a number of fictitious corpora-i tions and bought or sold goods to the dummy corporations which were, never p.iid for: that Corkran would then is-: sue a check agiinst a bank where he had 1 Kilt U'nillH JJ ('hfl'k CiT The Corkran Larceny Case The court suggested a formal motion from Mr Dodge and cleared the way for tho opening of the Charles E. Corkran larceny case, which Allen charges was nol proe'd from improper motives. Frederick H. Bryant of Malone.

Y. was the first witness. He said that in 1915 he was counsel for icott J. Boyce, owner of the American Woods Corporation, for which Corkran was agent and practically chief of the Boston office. Boyce took steps to investigate this office th 1915 and David Stoneman was engaged as counsel in this city.

A criminal proceeding was instituted against Corkran in the Municipal Court. Mr Allen now produced the papers in the case and showed three counts of larceny of sums totalling ahout $9000 in early August. 1915. on which Corkran pleaded not guilty Aug 25. the court declining final jurisdiction and Corkran recognizing in $2000 fop the Superior Court.

A notation on the papers read "Nol Pros. J. C. D. 11-11-15." In order to present all the official records at once, Mr Allen asked the witness to step down and called Clerk Lord of the Municipal Court.

Mr Lord recited successive continuances in this case. On one occasion bail was reduced from $15,000 to On Nov 5 the defendant was held for the December term of the Superior Court. Julian C. Woodman appeared as counsellor Corkran on a formal appearance slip, but a notation on the back of the complaint showed the name of Coakley. Corkran's ball, that he thought Corkran might help to recover some of the funds.

"Now when you went to Mr Pelletiei-the last time, do you recall his saying to you, 'This is the case we spoke of a ago. Isn't wcagreed I was not the kind to prosecute. Everything I have learned since has con-firmed that view of the 'No. I don'ttthink-he did say that. He simply asked it wae the same case and I said.

"Did he ask you if civil suits were I pending?" "No.Oiut Coakley remarked that I was suing everybody in Boston, or worda to I that effect." Court adjourned for the clay.

One of the latter resulted in a slmiflcant statement by the court ith reference to the evidence already introduced. Mr Reed sought to iock testimony by attorney Ralph Robb. a witness in the Emery use relative to a conversation with Infective "Jack" Patron, also known fcs Snow, a heated exchange between EBINtl was followed by Chief Jus-ue Rugg's crisp ruling: The court are of the opinion that there is sufficient evidence to Bhow, Prior to the date now inquired of, 'tat Snow had become a co-conspira-ta with Coakley and therefore th 'iJettion. is competent." still anetlier bank to meet the checK on the first. "Mr Pelletier asked what I wanted," sE'd the witness.

"1 said I wanted an indictment. This he declined to do. He taid his opinion it was a civil case, arci he didn't Hke to take cases 'rom cuiside the State because often when they were satisfied civilly they went on him with evidence." Mr Pelletier afried to have Mr Stoneman lay the faci before Asst Dlst Atty Thomas D. Laveile. Stoneman testiued, but the assistant took the same view.

On Sept 23, the witness related, he went to Mr Pelletier's office and there con-feued with the district attorney and Coakley. i Main st. He is survived by two sister in Pawtucket, I. Mr Allen now reverted lo thf undecided question in the Mancovitz case and after the court's ruling called 3. Franklin Hern, a member of the Grand Jury which indicted Israel, or "Jacl;" Mancovitz.

I "What waa said by Mr Gallagher to the Jury after evidence had been offered and before the vote on an indictment?" asked Mr Allen. "Well, if I may answer in my own way." said the witness, "as is custom- ary. the cases were not voted on In- I dlvidually, but after half a dozen or so the district attorney gives an outline and the stenographer is excused and the attorney refreshes the recolleo- lions of the Jury--" interrupted Allen, "what was said about who Mancovitz was?" "Mr Gallagher told us he was a brother of Asst Dist Atty Mancovitz. and made- reference to him by the name of 'Dave'. "What was said as to the sufficiency i of evidence on the larceny and break-1 ing and entering charges and that of; having burglars' tools?" "He express! the opinion we enough evidence to hold him.

but did have on the receiving stolen propei ty charge." No Plea to Let Him Off "Do you recolect anyone, asking Mr Gallagher' if this man was a brother of the assistant district attorney?" asked Mr Reed, cross-examining. "I have no recollection of that." said the witness. "But there was no Dlea by Gallagher to let him off light and Mr Gallagher said on the receiving charges you were, certain of conviction." "That's correct." "Do you remember tnat the evidence i on the'burfelary was weak?" "I didn't think so," said Mr Hern. "Didn't a witness criticize the Police Department for not coming in time?" i "Yes." Frank R. Woodman of Roslindale corroborated Hern's testimony, saying he' thought Gallagher's remark about Man-, covltz was "volunteered." "As a matter of fact the Grand Jury did indict Mancovitz on enough charges to send him away for 40 years, dldn they'" asked Mr Reed in cross-examination but the question was excluded Mr Reed then asked if the witness meant to say this case was singled out of many for consideration, but Mr Woodman said it was passed on.

End of State's Case Near It was at this point that discussion! arose as to the closing of the State's CW have notified the respondent of five cases on which we shall not present nvidonce" said Mr Allen, "and tomor-row morning will inform him witn re-spect to others. We shall present evidence in the Corkran case and atop in the case of Agnes L. Smith if the Commonwealth is able to secure a deposition it has endeavored to take. "This deposition has not been returned.

We have not been able to nrd her and If it is taken before the case is over I shall ask to introduce it out or order. Unless it is obtained I shall not present this easels she is a material witness.

Reed "Earnestly Protests" "At last," said Mr Reed in reply.

"there is a suggestion that we are reaching the end of the road. As to the right to put in evidence in the Smith case later, we earnestly protest against being put to our defense until the f-tato has closed finally ana completely. Sorat of these cases are interrelated and the list has taken many surprising turns, things have happened that could not be contemplated from the charges. "For example, il was charged in one case that a matter had been nol pros'd from improper motives, yet the Stata Coakley Asked Nol Pros "Mr Coakley said he had just come i into the case," the testimony ran. "and he said we were attempting" to use the I district attorney's office for the collec-1 fon of debts.

Coakley asked for a nol aucea nere to snow wie uiuhyus vi wit? witnesses who have testified and the instrumentalities which have oeen employed and have had to do with shaping and producing the evidence brought here in this trial. I want to be permitted to bring out of the mouth of this witness evidence bearing on other I expect to show that the employment of the witness h4B to do with some of this evidence and that He waa actively interested and engaged in it." Will Decide This Morning After a long conference at the bench, the five robed Justices passed the question on for later decision, which will he announced this morning. At the same time they are expected to rule on the plea of Atty Gen Allen that evidence on the Smith conspiracy charge be admitted out of order, if a deposition now sought by the prosecution Is procured. As outlined in yesterday's morning Globe, Mr Allen stated that the prosecution had been unable to interrogate Mrs William Roehl of St Louis, formerly Mrs Agnes L.

Smith, and a client of Daniel H. Coakley in the divorce proceedings against her husband, Albert T. Smith. Mr Allen stated that since she is a material witness it may be that evidence on the charge will not be presented, but he aked permission to introduce the deposition later, if it be obtained. This the Pelletier champions fougnt with their most earnest protests, insisting that the State should close Its ease completely before the defense is opened.

With this question undetermined the nlans of tbe tate attorneys last night were to conclude the Corcoran case th morning and to present further testl-mon from certain bank officials. Mr Allen said he would decide over night whether or not to press the case of William Cobb, epresldent of the Collateral l.oan Company, who jn 1914 was charged with larceny. Tnon completing evidence on the first information the Attorney General ex-Lects to offer evidence to substantiate campaign statements credited to Mr ivtletler which were made the subject of a seprlte petition for his removal. Mm Emery First Witness Was Offered Immunity The witness said Snow came to" his office and told him he was employed by LeClair. Snow said he had been to Pel-letler's office that day.

Mr Robb said he was later called before the Grand Jury and questioned by Mr Pelletier himself. "Were you offered immunitv from testifying?" "Yes." "By whom?" "By Mr Pelletier. I waived it." In reply to questions from Mr Reed, witness said he was graduated from law school in 1912 and had been in business with Emery. Robb said that he and Emery went to Gallagher's office for the first time after Gallagher's visit to his office. repeated his direct testimony to the effect that he and Emery were told that If Papineau was satisfied the State might be satisfied.

He was asked about the talk he and Emery' had with Mr Gallagher, after Gallagher had seen Mr Coakley. "Mr Gallagher told you the case was one which had some danger in it?" "Yes." "And you thought it ha9. too?" "I didn't think that it had much danger." The witness admitted that he was himself of the opinion that "they had something to hang their hat on." "My opinion was that the situation surrounding divorce and marriage was dangerous." he said: "So you and Mr Gallagher had the same opinion?" "In some respects." Under redirect examination witness was asked: "What was said that led you to think the situation was full of danger?" "I was told by Mr Gallagher, that Mr Papineau Ji'as on the voting list and aesesors' list in Webster and could have been notified in the divorce case, and that he was surprised and the divorce obtained without his consent." pros. I oSjeeted vigorously and said 1 a Ike to consult my clients. Mr Pelletier ald he was not disposed to nol pros it "hen, but asked if I would object to nominal ball.

It was finally agreed that $3000 should be deposited and that when out of Jail, would try and PAXTON'S PAINTING WINS PRIZE AT WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, Jan 17 William M.

FUNERAL TOMORROW OF MRS CORNELIA LOWELL Funeral services for Mrs Cornelia Prime (Baylies) Lowell, widow of Judgo Francis Cabot Lowell, will be held in Emmanuel Church, 15 Newbury st. tomorrow noon. Rev Dr Elwood Worces- Employed by Morgan "Were you employed by Morgan when hewas doing work for Cabot?" "I don't know that he was doing work for Cabot." The witness was asked what he did for Morgan. LeClair refused to answer, saying that a recently passed statute made It a serious offense for the employe of a detective agency to give information as to what he does.

The cross-examination was suspended while counsel looked up the statute. Victor D. Papineau was recalled, and shown the Patron report. He denied the extracts, especially the one regarding the inn. All the extracts were inaccurate.

John H. Farley, an official court stenographer was called. He stated (hat the John Doe proceedings which resulted in the indictment of Robb, Le Clair and Emery was the only one presented by Mr Pelletier personally in January and February, 1916, according to hit, notes. In cross-examination the witness stated that his reply only applied to the cases taken by him and that he could not tell whether Mr Pelletier might not have been before the Grand Jury on cases which he did not report. Some further questions were askod by Mr Dodge, as hearing on this point, but the Chief Justice dismissed them by remarking that the court Would assume that a district attorney commonly leaves the presentation of Grand Judy matters to assistants, but goes betore the jury when he deems it necessary.

Mr Reed interrupted the procedure to remark that he' might deslrs to rocall certain State witnesses for further questioning and desired to serve lotice on the Attorney General in advance of his closing. Justice Rugg assured counsel that this privilege would be accorded, anyway. Reed Conceals Purpose Reed referred again to the question which had arisen over the attempted examination of Le Clair on his connection with Morgan. He reao the statute and contended that It did net interfere with Le Clair's giving the information which his desired. Atty Om Allen argued that the law protected the witness from divulging confidential information of the kind sought.

"As we understand," said Chief Justice Rugg, "Mr Le Clair up to this ha( been examined on events of late and early 19K. It is now proposed i question him on events of the year 19lb and. concerning entirely different ilp lo recover some of the lost funds. Tn Pelletier's Writing Mr Lord was then asked to'rqad certain papers filed with the case which Senator Heed admitted, without dispute, were in Pelletier's writing. One of these, under date of Sept 23, stated: "I recommended tfce defendant be released on purely nominal bail in order that he may assist in clearing up some matters which may result in giving the case a purely civil aspect.

I have declined action until the matter is made more clear. Both counsel are agreed oh this plan." This was signed by Mr Pelletier. The other, initialed, read: "This defendant I will no further prosecute. J. C.

11-11-15. Municipal Court has waived Jurisdiction and held for Grand Jury. In my opinion civil case. J. C.

I'." Questions as to the custom of entering nol pro'SBes in cases of this kind were objected to, but Justice Rugg remarked that "we have observed the nol pros was entered in the Municipal Court before the time for entering it in the Superior Court." Mr Allen said he desjred to show this was not the practi 'and that it was done over the objection of the complainants. Clerk Ijord then replied that such cases are -ery rare except where a judge directs the action. "Do vou know of such a case in recent years?" asked Mr Allen. "Not 1n this class of cases," was the reply. "But a judge bas that discretion and In this case a district attorney did it.

didn't he?" aeked Mr Reed cross-examination. "A Judge does it frequently. This title it was a district attorney." Protested to Pelletier Attorney Bryant was now recalled He related that about Nov 20, 1915. after the pel pros, he interviewed Mr Pelletier at the Courthouse. "I told Mr Pelletier." said the witness, "that 1 felt Justice had not been done.

He said his office was not being used as a collection agency, that if we had any remedy, it was in the civil court. I said he must be misinformed, or be would not say it was a civil matter.
