Because he was burned from the knee to the hip with a hot steel rod by Mohammedans bent on preventing him bending his knee in Christian prayer, three judges today asked Secretary of Labor Davis to do all he can to keep Yerwand Karamian, 19-year-old Armenian boy, from being doomed to return to the land of his birth. They said they feared further torture awaits him. The plea to Secretary Davis is contained in an opinion written by Apellate Court Judge Hough, Judges Mack and Manton concurring, in which the boy is denied a writ of habeas corpus that would have brought his release from Ellis Island. He is held there awaiting deportation.

The opinion recites tortures Yerwand suffered at the hands of Turks. Yerwand, who has a brother in New Britain, Conn, fled from Persia, the country of his nativity, to Mexico, entering the United States without a properly visaed passport. He was arrested in El Paso, Texas, and sentenced to three months for violation of immigration laws. On his release deportation proceedings were started.

Port eons and Hammond Held on Conspiracy Charge Special Dispatch to the Globe PORTLAND, Me, Jan 11 An indictment against the Portland Country Club, charging that it is a place where liquors were illegally kept to the common nuisance of the public and where liquors were kept, sold and given away, was returned by the Grand Jury of the Cumberland County Superior Court tonight. Louis R. Porteous, prominent merchant and society man in Portland, who earlier in the day declined to answer certain questions before the Grand Jury, and was then taken before Justice Arthur Chapman by County Attorney Ralph M.

Ingalls for instructions as to his constitutional rights, was also indicted on the charge of conspiracy, William R. Hammond of Falmouth, stewart of the club being named jointly with him in this indictment. Hammond is also charged in another indictment with nuisance. The indictments are the outcome of a seizure of punch made at the Country Club on the night of Jan 3 when a private party was being held there, 10 deputy sheriffs having visited the place. Mr Porteous declined to answer questions in the Grand Jury session today when queried in regard to the seizure at the Portland Country Club by the deputy sheriffs on the score that truthful answers might tend to incriminate him.

Judge Arthur Chapman heard a statement of Raich Ingalls, county attorney, and an explanation by Sidney F. Thaxter. at-orney for Mr Porteous. Judge Chapman then instructed the witness in regard to his constitutional rights. Judge Chapman said, The questions on their face are regular.

I cannot say whether they might tend to incriminate the witness or not. That has to be left largely to the witness. I think it is proper for me to instruct him generally as to what his rights are. and I will say to the witness that he has the constitutional right to refuse to answer if a truthful answer might tend to incriminate him. It, however, is a right that must be exercised in good faith.

If an investigation should show that it was not made in good faith, that the witness did not believe that the answer might tend to incriminate him, the answer being truthful, then he would be in contempt of court and liable to punishment therefor. It is a matter that must not be exercised for the protection of any other person. It can be used only for the persons own benefit and protection, only for his own rights, and not exercised in any particular for the protection of any other individual or individuals. The question Mr Porteous refused to answer was: Were you the host at or in any way connected with by way of control or in the management of a social function given at The Country Club on the night of Jan 3, 1927? SOCIETY BOOTLEGGER INDICTED AT PORTLAND PORTLAND, Me, Jan 11-Of the 60 public indictments returned by the Grand Jury of the Superior Court tonight, one charging the offense of common seller was returned against Alfred Herregodts of Medford, Mass, styled by Sheriff ''King F. Graham a bootlegger to Portland society.

He was arrested on the Portland-Saco road, Oct 7. by deputy sheriffs, who allege that they found his automobile filled with alcohol. Sheriff Graham declared that he found on the person of Herregodts a little book containing the names of many persons who would he listed on Portlands social register if there were one. The sheriff also alleged that Herregodts, when questioned, admitted that he had done business with residents west tof High st. regularly.

Seven counts charging the obtaining of goods under false pretenses were contained in an indictment returned against Grover L. Parker of Durham, whose arrest Iasi Friday is believed by local police to have solved the mystery of a long series of frauds al-eged to have been perpetrated on local business firms. Today some of the loot which he is alleged to have obtained waif recovered, and every effort is being made to get much more. Isdfa 3 Ralph M. Griffin 368-370 Washington St.

Falvey Stricken in His Boston Office SNYDER ARRESTED ON 1924 WARRANT Faces Non-Support Charge in Boston OPPOSE CLOSING EAST CAMBRIDGESTATION Public Officials Protest at Commission Hearing Strong opposition developed yesterday before the Public Utilities Commission to the petition of the Boston Maine Railroad for permission to abandon East Cambridge and Prospect Hill as passenger stations. Prospect Hill seemed to have no supporters, the objection being to the East Cambridge proposition. The road contends that passenger service interferes with its consolidated freight terminal development program, involving ultimately an expenditure of i 4,000,000, and that the passenger traffic at these stations is very small and constantly diminishing.

It is proposed to divert passenger trains from the Southern Division, on which are these two stations, to the Fitchburg Division. Col Charles R. Gow said it was necessary to remove ail passenger service from the terminal freight area. The East Cambridge station, said he, was almost in the center of this area. Dwight S.

Brigham, assistant general manager for the road, said that to run passenger trains through the freight terminal would go far toward nullifying the whole plan. B. E. Grant, general passenger agent said mileage of the two routes is the same, so that fares to passengers would be the same. City Solicitor Peter J.

Nelligan of Cambridge appeared at the direction of the Cambridge City Council, to oppose abandonment of the East Cambridge station. Richard Parkhurst. representing Ginn Co. also argued for the continuance of some form of service to take care of the industrial and courthouse workers who use the East Cambridge station. Mr Parkhurst has filed with the commission a petition containing the names of 439 persons who use this station, he declared.

He read a letter from Dist Atty Robert T. Bushnell iu which the latter added his protest. Other speakers against abandonment were attorney Harold T. Johnson of Woburn. Chief Probation Officer James B.

Mrs Chaplin declared that the actor is on his way to New York to complete the filming of his new picture and expressed the belief that his servants were preparing to ship his personal property East. Under California laws, the ex-parte receiveishlp can be allowed without notice to the opposing bide in fi urgency cases. Wife Also Bonded Mrs Chaplin also was placed under bond in the action for a receivership, but for only $100,000. Thi. ns well a-, bonds of the two receivers, was postel at once.

The affidavit in the action whim tied up the comedian's California millions was sworn to by Edwin MeM array, Kan Francisco attorney, and Mrs Chaplin's uncle. The request for a receivership, was a surprise move, this matter as well a.s an order restraining Chaplin from interfering with bis wile and children having been net previously for hearing next Monday. In the meantime, the hunt was an by Mrs Chaplin's attorneys, as well is by newspapermen, to determine what tram Chaplin had taken in his departure from Los Angeles. All the- efforts seemed vain, as all the comedian's iissueuites guarded his secret zealously. Hollywood, however, already seething with gossip, and rumor and also conjecture as to the identity of prominent motion plctuie women mentioned in Mrs Chaplin's nut as the objects of her husbands affections, attached imiiortnnce to the announcement by railway officials that Wll Hays, film czar, and three members of liis staff are en route lure.

They probably will arrive tomorrow nlgn. Lloyd Wright. Chaplin's counsel, said the public could rest assured that his client would light every charge contained in the divorce complaint. The comedian is enroute to New York on important business connected with his motion picture interests, but is expected to return here soon, the attorney said. Promises Statement Wright reiterated Chaplin did not leave lor New York to evade service.

The attorney promised a complete statement a.s soon as lie had time to read the lengthy petition the screen comedian's wife filed late yesterday. Mrs Chaplins suit, which charges that her husband was faithless and cruel, probably will not reach trial for six months, attorneys said, because of the congested condition of divorce court calendars. The custody of Charles Spencer Jr, 2. and Sydney Earle. 1, now with their mother, at her grandparents' home in Beverly Hills, and community property which the wife set at 10 in her suit, stood out as the main issues of future court airing of the- case.

Wright said Chaplin would opjxise his wifes plea for custody of the children. INSTALLATION BY W.R.C.
