At the trial of William H. Kehoe for to violate the health laws, Judge Max S. Levine conspiracy, a jury in General Sessions, Frederick W.

Kautzmann, fo: mer milk inspector for the Health Department, admitted under cross-examination today, that although he knew about bootleg milk and cream being brought into the city he had denied such knowledge when questioned by Acting District Attorney Ferdinand Pecora during the milk investigation a year ago. Kautzmann is under indictment bribery in the present bootleg milk scandal. While the trial was in progress Detective Sullivan of Headquarters arraigned Simon Miller, 31, EL salesman. of 1588 Macombs the Bronx, in Yorkville Court, on 1 charge of embracery. He was discharged when the Court was told that he had been indicted by the Grand Jury.

Admits Taxicab Ride. Relative to the 56 cans of bootcream he seized from Samuel Doner. a wholesale cream dealer, Jan. 29, 1924, Kautzmann admitted he had accompanied Doner in a taxicab from the Health Department yard to Pennsylvania Station. This was the he admitted accompanying Doner in a taxicab.

Kautzmann was asked if he thought Doner would lie to him about the 56 cans of milk when Doner said he was going to make cheese out of it. To this the witness replied: "I wouldn't blame him. I wouldn't believe any milk dealer. They all lie." Not "Nice" to Take Money. "Well, would you blame a man 1ying to keep from going to jail?" asked Mr.

Pecora. "Yes," was the prompt reply. "So, Doner told you he had paid Danziger $2,000 so he would Harry. annoyed in his business? Do you think it was right for Danziger have taken that money from Doner?" asked Pecora. "I don't think it was nice," was the answer.

At another point in his cross-examination. Kautzmann said: "If Doner wanted to give ziger $2,000, what did I care?" Denies $1,500 Graft Charge. Kautzmann admitted he did not report this conversation to his superior officers in the Health Department. Ipecora brought out that a milk dealer named Cacclopo, whose place of business was in Queens, had been arrested two years ago by Kautzmann charged with adulterating milk with water through garden hose but that he was fined only $100 when prosecuted in the Magistrate's Court. "Isn't it a fact that he paid you and Kehoe $1,500 and that you didn't press the charge to the full extent?" asked Pecora.

"No!" Kautzmann replied. Questioned A8 to the story he (Kautzmann) had told in the Magistrate's Court on that occasion, the witness admitted he had told the Magistrate that Cacciopo was A cheese manufacturer as well A8 AL milk dealer and had told him that he was watering the milk to make Italian cheese from it. A few minutes later Pecora made the witness admit that he had a number of financial transactions with Cacciopo. Got $1,200 from Dealer. He showed that Kautzmann on one occasion got $1,200 from the milk dealer.

Kautzmann said he had given Caccipop a second mortgage on his home for that money and that the mortgage never was recorded. Prior to Pecora's cross-examination, M. M. Edelstein, counsel for Kehoe, on direct examination of Kautzmann, brought out that cream brought in from Canada and from points as far west Newark, 0. to this city on approval of the Board of Health.

"What was your salary when you Milk Inspector?" was one of were first questions asked by the very Pecora. $2.400 0 vear," was the reply. "For how long?" "Two years." "What was it before that "Two thousand three hundred and four dollars." "For how long?" "Three years, about." 'And before that?"

District Attorney Dodd's investiiration of his affaire disclosed that last year he had account of something like $67,000 with a prominent brokerage concern of long standing and good reputation.

In his to money get, Korn in said to have swindled persons who had known him for many vears.

Hall a telegram declaring that her slain husband revealed to her in a dream important information concerning the murderer or murderers of Dr. Hall and Mrs. Mills. This was not be to Mrs. Hall with the stipulation" that it should unless she was arrested.

The woman said she sent to Mrs. Hall a special delivery letter containing all the le information revealed in the dream. SPECIAL PROSECUTOR IN HALL-MILLS PROBE; EX-TROOPER SOUGHT (Continued from Page 1) Mrs. Hall who said they had been out looking for her husband. What new evidence he may have has not been revealed.

In Trenton a warrant was issued for Henry Dickman, former State trooper, who was assigned to pursue the Hall-Mills investigation after all investigators gave it other up in Oe111 tober, June, 1922. Dickman "disappeared" 1923, and has not been heard from since. Believe Trooper Was Paid. Technically Dickman is wanted on a bad check charge, involving a bank in Jersey City, and further on the suspicion that he knows who killed Dr. Hall and Mrs.

Mills. The former trooper left behind three months' pay and $100 in expense money due him from the State constabulary. Before he suddenly dropped out of sight reports had reached the State police headquarters that he had huge sums of money. The police theory is that Dickman learned the identity of the Hall-Mills slayers and was bought off to keep silent. Meanwhile the latest effort of the State of New Jersey to indict and convict Mrs.

Hall centers around Mrs. Jane N. Gibson, the weatherbrowned, barebac -riding "pig woman" of New Brunswiak, who, by the light of a last-quarter moon, said she saw three persons standing under the old crabapple tree where the murder took place on the night of Sept. 14, 1922. Mrs.

Hall Protests Innocence. Mrs. Hall, under arrest in the Somerset County Jail here, continues blandly to assert her innocence. Mrs. Gibson, called into police headquarters by Prosecutor Francis Bergen, told again the story she related in 1922.

"Pig Woman's" Story. This is the story of the "pig That for a month or more before the middle of September, when the Hall- Mills murder took place, she had been missing things from her farm. Corn and tools and now and then a pig or two were stolen, until she determined to discover who was the thief. On the night of the murder a junk cart passed her farm on the outskirts of New Brunswick and she decided to follow it to see if the driver was the thief. Riding bareback, without shoes or stockings, she followed the cart, through the countryside, over a slight hill, for a distance of some two miles to the Phillips Farm.

Then, not being dressed for riding, she returnedand under the now famous crabapple tree, she said, she saw three persons standing. She described them in some detail. Some effort was made, four years ago, to find the Junk dealer in question and thus corroborate the story of the "pig Woman." One such dealer was found, but he maintained stoutly that he was nowhere in the vicinity of the Gibson woman's farm on that day. Story Partly Verified. Now, however, It was learned that the investigators have been able to establish this corroboration.

The junk man had been unwilling to talk, it was said, for fear he would be held on charges of robbery, for stealing from Mrs. Gibson. Assured of immunity for that, it 1s said, he admitted readily his presence there, and thus strengthened the story of that night ride in the pleasant country where, under a crab-apple tree in the New Jersey meadow, a minister and his choir singer, found lying arm in arm, were shot to death. Not Yet Ready for Grand Jury. Prosecutor Bergen declared today that he is not yet ready to recall the April Grand Jury for the purpose of taking up the Hall-Mills case.

"I do not think it is time for that vet," he said. Carlton Hoagland, foreman of the Jury, also indicated that the grand jurors could not be assembled at once, Most of the men, he said, are away on vacation and It would be impossible to recall them within less than 10 days or two weeks." The prosecutor added that he will oppose any effort of Mrs. Hall's counsel. Robert H. McCarter, to obtain her release on bail.

He refused to discuss reporte that "Willie" Stevena had disappeared and could not be located by the authorities. Characters in Drama. The long line of characters which four years ago walked ed the stage durins the frat inadequate investigation into the double murder, started their march again yesterday, like ghosta from an apparently buried past. Once more the names which gained en unwholesome prominence in 1922 were revived in statements by prosecutors and flared out in headlines of the news. Mrs.

Philadelphia, July 80 (P)-Walter Spence, the Brooklyn Central Y. M. C. all-around aquatic star, established a world's record today when he won the 300-meter medley in the National A. A.

The swimmers used breast stroke for the first 100 meters, the backstroke in the second 100 and in the final lap used the free style. Spence's mark will be recognized as a record owing to the absence of any mark for this distance.

Last year, in the national championships, the 300-yard medley was raced. Arne Borg, Swedish member of the Illinois A. C. team, shattered his second world's record in two days when he won the one-mile free style title. The lanky Swede swam the mile in 21:46 2-5, breaking the existing by 48 seconds.

Now she is brought back to retell that story, Willie Stevens, the eccentric brother of wealthy Mrs. Hall, who made the fire-engine house his hangout and rode around on fire engines for amusement. Four years Ago "Willie" seemed to know something more about the tragedy than he was telling and yet he appeared too simple-minded to hold back anything he might know. William Phillips, a factory worker now, was four years ago night watchman at the New Jersey College for Women near the Hall home. He told investigators then that on the night of the murder he saW a woman in a white polo coat--presumably Mra.

Then there are Barbara Tough and Louise Geist, now Mrs. Arthur Riehl, maids in the home Hall, who told one story four years ago and are telling a somewhat different tale today. And the prosecutora, the State police and in the distance the vision of a Grand Jury and what it may find. The whole panorama of Agures which made up the most puzzling and Intriguing murder complication in decades has been roused by Mrs.

Hall's arrest and is passing again, one after another, across the public stage. State troopers this afternoon brought to their headquarters young man about 20 years old dressed in the clothing of a farm hand for questioning. The troopers refused to divulge his identity.

"This challenge was made just at time when questions were arising of an international character, which were defining whether Mexico was a sovereign country or not."

by 1 up after a terrific uphill battle. Miss Collett was at one time 4 down and only 8 to go, due largely to poor putting. She recovered her cunning on the greens after that point while her opponent slumped somewhat and the match was squared at the 17th hole. It was a dramatic and spectacular finish, Miss Collett putting the last four holes with three pars and a birdie after the gallery had mentally handed the match to the New Jersey girl. Miss Orcutt played pretty good golf on these final holes, but Glenna's game at this stretch would have held a male star at least even.

What made the comeback so marvelous was the fact that Miss Collett had shown no signs of brilliancy to that point. Miss Orcutt took a lead of 2 up on the first nine holes. She scored one under par with a 40, while Miss Collett outdrove her opponent most of the time, but lost one hole by going out of bounds. Miss Orcutt excelled on the greens and was steady in all departments. Her worst fault was a skied drive on the seventh, where Glenna got over the stone wall.

MISS WILLS BEATS MRS. SCHMITZ ON A HEAVY COURT Advances in Maidstone Club Tennis Tourney, Though Not Impressive. (Special to The Eagle.) Maidstone Club, Easthampton, L.

July 80-With the weather at least relenting and the rain stopping, Miss Helen Wills resumed here this morning her play in the first tourna- ment she has entered since her operation in Paris last month. Facing Mrs. Frederick Schmitz of New York, a former indoor champion, the national titleholder and second ranking woman player of the world, reached the fourth round of the singles with another straight set victory scored at 6---2, 6-1. The match was longer and harder fought than the scores indicate, however, for the courts, though they had dried remarkably well after almost 24 hours of continuous rain, were heavy continue and the champion was unable to her playing of the first match when she remained at her baseline throughout. The shorter, flatter bounds of the wet turf forced her to cover twice the court that she had done in her opening match and the result was several long drawn out deuce affairs.

Her Play Not Exactly Impressive. Miss Wills, while never at any time being threatened during the match, was not exactly impressive in her play. She showed clearly the effects of her absence from the courts and made errors at times that she would not make in a dozen matches when she is on the top of her game. Her returns of service were finding the top of the net too frequently and when she was called upon to play overhead shots it was noticeable that she overshot the baseline more often than she landed a kill. The champion seemed content under the circumstances to try out her shots easily and saving herself.

During the last set she began to lash Into her service for the first time with the power that features this shot of hers on most occasionpretty well. Time after time she sent first serves burning into court, and while Mra. Schmitz was able to get most of them back into play, they were simply setups for Miss Wills to kill, At Her Best in Second Set. Miss Wills had her best burst of tennis at the outset of the second set when she ran three games off in a row, dropping only 2 points during the fent. With the fourth game of this set, however, Mra.

Schmitz began hitting out with more freedom, keeping her drives low, and Miss Wills had a fight on her hands for the next two, winning them both only after the score had been sent to deuce. She lost the nest, game, but finished off the seventh fast style to take the match and move ahead in the tourney. The point scores were: First set: Wills. net: 11 Miss Wills, if she feels that her match of the morning has not taken too much from her store of strength, will pley again this afternoon in the round before the semi-final. It may be that she will wait until tomorrow morning.

The Smith manager said that Studebaker met him in the Congress Hotel here on the occasion of the Indiana dinner last winter and stated he was very much interested in his friend, Frank L. Smith. "He asked me to call at his office, which I did, and he gave $10,000. Later gave another $10,000," Moore said. In making known his decision to give the names of the contributors Moore said that some of the men, for "social, political and business reasons," had requested him not to reveal the contributions.
