Mur ray has read all of Hill hhakespear's 7 books, and when things are at a lull, he loes to give Imitations of i Hamlet, lago, Shylock, Othello and some of the zanies the great play wright has created. Friends of young Murray say he would make a "great Protean actor." Frank DiMaggio, the "live-wire" of the John Spiezio Democratic Club, has invented a new carburetor that will virtually make a car run on air. But he's wise enough to know that at present he won't bo able to market his invention. Former Kings Commissioner of Itecords Jacob Bartscherer's fellow-members of the Republican executive committee are mentioning him for Congrepsman-at-large on the Republican State ticket.

This query is uppermost in the minds of prominent Brooklyn men and women and the attitude of the park department officials does not serve to clarify the situation or hold any too much promise. "Just write in your query for Information and the matter will be looked up for you" was the answer at the Litchfield Mansion headquarters of the Brooklyn Department' force.

The request for information based upon the statement of officials of the Fort Greene Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution that the historic Dutch Revolutionary homestead, presented to the city by the descendants of Lieut. Pieter Lefferts. moved to its pres-e nt site just inside the park on the Flatbush ave. side of the Wlllnrl; entrance at Empire blvd. and placed in good repair through fund raisej by public spirited Brooklyn citizens, has reached such a state of disrepair as to be prac-ticslly useless as a museum.

The D. A. R. officials served no- i tice last May that unless the roof, i which leaks badly, was repaired, thev would be forced to remove the priceless heirlooms with which the building is furnished and which are on exhibition three afternoons a Week. Mrs.

It is said the feat has not been repeated since. J. G.

Louis Molloy, new legal adviser to Mayor LaGuardia, is a gifted musical composer. Joe Mullins, clerk of the Compensation Department In the Building Department of the Municipal Building, is on a tour through Europe. This is his sixth.

New vigor and greater speed is what Miss Lillian Koch, secretary to Assistant U. S. Attorney Harold St.

L. O'Dougherty, is Injecting into her work. Reason for this increased efficiency, which Bhe hopes to carry on for the remainder of the year. Is that the popular secretary has just returned from a much needed rest at a quiet and beautiful resort, on Long Island. In the.

For very soon she will leave her work, behind for her annual rest in some picturesque haven. Picks ran across one of Brook lyn's most colorful personages the other afternoon Newell Andrus, former athlete and actor whose name decorated many a theiter program in bold type.

Newell is now in the magazine publishing field and he tells us without qualification that the backbone of the depression has been broken. He attributes this to "the big increase in readers in the magazine field." His. trunk all packed with (he latest In summer apparel and sporting outfits and all set for a real vacation, sae the buying of the railroad ticket, is the reason Sidney Fcuer, law clerk In the Federal Court, is wearing that million-buck smile. He's going away all right, lint the destination has jet to be decided. John Trages, proprietor of the Hotel Bay View at Jamesport, L.

1., is reported to be sadder these days than our old friend of gloom. Hani-let. Picks discovered that since Ijarry Cowen, lieutenant of tho U. S. Naval Reser and publicity director for Fox's theaters in Brooklyn, left the summer resort where he and Trages were constant companions, the hotel man has lapsed Into a state of melancholp.

Must have been a gay time the two boys enjoyed for several weeks. Leo Poorvin. scTetary, is not the same light-hearted, humorous ier-son he used to lie. At one time his friends said he was "the life of any party" with his grand baritone olce and clever repartee. Friends of I Co confided to licks that the young iiyui has gone in for the study of philosophy at one of the local colleges and that this has "transformed him Into a.

dour, gloomy, brow-furrowed old cynic." Better snap out of it. Iieol Life isn't that dramatic, Ooorgc Foley, chief clerk of the certificate of occupancy depart-' ment. of the Huilding Department, is reported to have caught the smallest fish that was ever hauled from the Atlantic Ocean. (Jeoree was in his outboard motorboat with several friends at Long Beach when he made the "grand catch." To lease him. George's friends had the little thing photographed and then enlarged, to put the quietus upon him for his ever boasting about his skill in fishing.

Attorney Mat Bayer, of the John Splo.lo Democratic Club, just turned Into a "kid" ajnln the other afternoon when the cluh look sev COUNTY JUDGE MARTIN County Judges Must Defy Critics or Justice By JAMES HARVEY TWO weeks ago County sus pended sentence on a 16-year-old prisoner, guilty of unlawful entry, because, as he pointed out, he did not want to add to the sorrows of the parents of the defendant, one of whose brothers was then awaiting sentence of death for murder in the first de gree and another brother is serving a long term in Danne-mora Prison for robbery. It was- a judgment with which only the hardest of heart could, find fault In fact, the statement might very well go unchallenged that public opinion In its en tirety could tie canvassed not. one dissenting voice would be heard against this act of leniency' of Judge Brancato. But the countv judges arc sel- dom so secure from criticism In the sentences they impose and the disposition they make of charges. Often they have seen made the targets of caustic attacks because they have imposed sentences or made dispositions of charges that did not suit the Ideas of Borne people.

In fact, there have been Instances over the years when blanket condemnation has been made of the county judgesTecause Of the judgment they rendered in cases. And judges of other courts, Including those of Special Sessions and the magistrates' courts, have not been Immune from this criticism. Thev also have come In for verbal blasts at times, IN almost all ruses the critics of Vi nitla anil IvniAnls nt I judges have come from those with out a. complete knowledge of all the fw.ctn in a rase, and the criticism is made without effort made to get all the facts In a rase. While the criminal code has sec tions covering every type of crime, at least every typo of major crime, and also Includes the punishment that may be meted out for different classes of crime, still the fact stands out that every case that comes Into a criminal court Is a separate and distinct Issue, and the circumstances surrounding each in dividual defendant are different.

even where two or more defend ants are charged together with the same crime. No legislature could ever enact laws that would cover the circum stances in each separate crime. No legislature can do more than male general provision in its enactments against crime, it is the task of the Judges to make proper Judgment In each Individual case, and In performing that task the Judiths have frequently drawn and do draw-severe criticism to themselves at times. '0 Ba'1 JudRe George W. Martin, chairman of the board of county judges, In discussing yesterday the problem of the disposition of criminal charges, "a Judge could just open the criminal code, mete out the sentence mentioned for the particular crime of which a defendant has been seemingly guilty, and thus clean his hands of a case.

Hut such procedure would be justice neither to a defendant, nor to society. It would be official cowardice on the part of Judge In seeking an easy way out, from performing bis duties as a Judge, Kach case is a separate and distinct Issue, and each defendant, is a particular problem. No Judge does his duty who In the disposition of a case fails to strive to reach a Judgment that wilt be for best Interests of the defendant and society as a whole. Criminals may he manufactured through weak and stupid Judgments on the part of the court, Feur of criticisms or desire of approval should never 'control any judge In his disposition of eases." The charge has been heard at times that judges yield to Influence and pressurn In disposing of cases. If by such fharan is meant that fudges deliberately becomo part of a conspiracy to do an injustice, such a charge could never be proved.

The charge Is absurd. On the other hand. Judges openly In court Invite a word in behalf of defendants waiting to be sentenced. Tf court almost any day you can hear a county judge say to a defendant who has pleaded guilty before Mm or-who has just been convicted by a jury: "Now, If you have snybody who will say a good word for yon; ho knows you well, such as your employer, your priest, minister or rabbi, tell him to come and see nin or, rite to me before thw day of sentence, want to know all about you before 1 pass Judgment."

Nothing has been done. Shingles, delivered early in the summer, have been stored in the cellar. The roof still leaks ani in many other directions ravages of the elements and apparent neglect were plainly apparent. "Could you say if and when the needed repairs will be made to the Iefferts Mansion?" was the question. After some iHay word came back.

"Von will have to put your request for information in writing, Then we wiil be able to look the matter up and give you the information desired." 'But isn't it true that the Colo- nial furnishings of this historic mu- sum are being ruined' through this lay?" "We know all about that. You can say that the order has been put in but when it will be done It is impossible to say. Park Commissioner Moses is interested to do. ing things for the benefit, of the greater number and. of course, this will have to take its turn." came the answer.
