MOVIE HOLDUP FIRST Mr. Ranney, in his address to the court, stated that as far as possible the defence would pursue the same order of presentation as the State had, endeavoring to take up the cases In practically the same order. The MIshawum Manor case, with its I anilflcatlons involving Kennedy and other women, will be the first taken up and District Attorney Tufts will be put on to testify upon one phase at a time. Instead of being put on and grilled extensively about the entire array of cases brought into the trial by the Attorney-General. Corrected Fault Ranney, as a preliminary, sketched briefly career and then discussed the great volume of business handled by his office and stated that It was humanly impossible to try more than a limited number of cases each year.

He took up the MIshawum Manor case, the divorce case and declared that the evidence had shown that they were wholly apart from Mr. Tufts. Regarding the International Service Company case in w'hlch Tufts was accused of conspiring to extort money from the company by threats of prosecution, he justified the district action by saying that the improper practices of the company were stopped, removing any reason for prosecution. Not Party to Improper He said that the vast array of evidence had failed to show that Tufts was a party to any of the alleged Improper acts of attorneys or was aware that they were charging exorbitant fees or promising their clients that the district attorney would dispose of cases in their favor or otherwise. He enumerated cases In which the district attorney had been charged with Improper action as In "recent whlcw have not been disposed of yet.

Others he referred to under the head of Others, he cofltended. Tufts disposed of according to his "honest In the case, the illegal operation case, the Newton arson cases and the Perry-Barry automobile cases, contended that nothing improper was shown. He said that the Plate had put In a great volume cf evidence concerning cases with which 'tufts was not personally connected in any way. and that in numerous cases of which he was accused of filing or ncl prosslng dispositions were made by the court or at the suggestion of the probation officer. No Reference to Mozette Case Some comment was occasioned by Mr.

failure to mention the Thomas O. Moretto case, involving the larceny of $11,155 from an aged woman. The first defence witness was Ralph H. Smith, clerk of the Superior Court at East Cambridge, who testified that the number of criminal cases has increased from 879 In 1910, to 2230 in 1918, 2169 In 1919, and 1411 in 1920, that there were but nine weeks for criminal cases last year and cniy 98 cases tried. He said that the court had kept busy with a list rauglng from 20 to 80 cases a day, with several murder cases using up a great deal of time.

His testimony was uafinlshed and he wiU be recalled. Asks Probation for 300 Probation Cfllcer Ramsey waa the second witness, still on when the court adjourned for the day. He said that he had recommended probation In about 300 cases a year on the average, and that in some Instances Tufts had recommended sentences and that the court had disposed of them otherwise. Just before Attorney-General Allen rested his case a deposition from Adolph Zukor of the Famous Players- Lasky Corporation, whose name was mentioned frequently In connection with the Mishawum Manor case at the early part of the trial, nearly three weeks ago, was read by Special Assistant Attorney-General Hurlburt. $50,000 In the deposition Zukor testified he paid $50,000 to prevent undesirable publicity in the aftermath of the "Nero as $25,000 of that amount being paid for Jesse D.

share of the $100,000 hush fund. Zukor said that he came across because a lot of Boston people, married men, wanted to avoid publicity of their connection with the affair, paying the price at the suggestion of Hiram Abrams. He denied ever meeting Coakley, Joseph M. Levenson, David Stoneman and some other lawyers who were mentioned in connection with the matter. His answers to questions displayed a failure to remember certain seemingly importan.

details. He said he was unable to recall the names of any of the Boston people whose reputations he put up $50,000 to save, but asserted that he was not afraid personally of publicity. Ruling Favors Tufts The analysis of the inferior court cases of Middlesex county that went to the Superior Court on appeal were ruled incompetent by Chief Justice Rugg yesterday forenoon, except that part of the compilation relating to cases actually nol pressed by the district attorney. The throwing out of the analysis of appealed cases was a distinct victory for the Tufts defence. Attorney-General Allen stated that it would be necessary to revise the analysis to comply with the ruling.

The appearance of Attorney Sherman L. Whipple on the stand at noon Ini jected considerable Interest Into the I case. Mr. Whipple was questioned I about the James B. Monroe case, a I statutory offence case, In which Tufts I was charged with improper action.

Turned Case Over to Coakley Mr. Whipple said that he talked with Tufts on a number of occasions, and at first was assured that no action would be taken on the basis of the evidence then available, but that later he learned his client had been Indicted. He said that when that occurred he turned the case over to Daniel H. Coakley, and that subsequently he learned the case was nol prossed. The Attorney-General asked some questions about the compensation to Coakley, but the defence counsel objected.

Allen explained that the purpose of the questions yvas to show that Fbhoi Coakley asked $25,000 as his fee, but agreed to accept $12,500 owing to his "friendship for Mr, Levenson Unable to Testify James Hughes, who was charged with receiving stolen goods, was recalled to the stand, and In reply to a questtion by Attorney Johnson said he had heard that his attorney, Harry E. had paid $1000 to a man who recommended him. Asked by Attorney-General Allen who gave him that information, he pointed out As- Attorney-General Flaherty. The Attorney-General announced that Harry E. Levenson, wanted as a witness in regard to the Hughes and Thomas O.

Mozette cases, is sick with a tubercular trouble and that a physician reports him in no condition to testify at the trial. He said that efforts are being made to locate a number of witnesses who seem to have disappeared, saying tnat if they are produced he may ask for the privilege of putting in their testimony. Among them is Mary W. Griffin, mentioned in connection with the Monroe case. Assistant District Attorney Goldman of staff and Attorney Hurlburt left last night to go to New York to get a deposition from Charles Connor, an attorney, in connection with the Monroe case.

MRS. GARDNER IS ON WARPATH FOR ANDREW Continued Friini First Page no mattfer who the other candidate or candidates might be, for Mr. Pingree was one of the staunch supporters of the late Congressman, who left the national Legislature to become a major In the United States army wnen America entered, belatedly as Gardner believed, into the World war. At the same time, if Mr, Pingree were not a candidate, Mrs. Gardner would have been in the present campaign in support of soipe other who might happen to be opposed to the aforesaid Mr.

Andrew of Gloucester. For Mrs. Gardner asserts that her primary interest in to sea to It that Mr. Andrew shall not represent the Sixth district in Congress. Back In 1914, when Andrew essayed to oppose Congresman Gardner for re- nomlnation, some bitter things were said and Mrs.

Gardner, refuses to forget them. Particularly does she resent some of the innuendoes and campaign utterances of Andrew at that time which were calculated to reflect on the genuineness of Major strenuous demand for preparation for war and for other activities of his to promote participation by his country in the world conflict. Active Campaign Planned "I any definite plans for my pai't in the she said last night, "but I propose to visit every city and town in the district, to work unceasingly to defeat Mr. Andrew. I would like to knock his head off and make sure, above all else, that he does not represent this district in Strikingly reminiscent of the late Major Gardner himself, of his frank, open discu.ssion of issues and his free and easy style of political campaigning is Mrs.

"Tes, It is loyalty to the memory of Major Gardner which prompts me to take the stand I am taking In this she eaysw "If he were jalive he would be strongly opposed to Mr. Andrew as I am. But he is dead. I am his widow and it is my duty to carry on the fight for his memory.

Loyalty to Husband "I know Mr. Andrew has said things about his relations with Major Gardner since that 1914 campaign. Many of the things which he is saying are probably not true. I do not wish to characterize him with the short and ugly word, but I am sure I am taking the course ho would take If he were alive today. "I have already visited a few of the cities and towns In the district and 1 shall cover all of them between now and the primary.

I do not plan to go on the stump, although If It becomes advisable or necessary I will try to do so. I am not a speaker and I do not believe I would be successful at that kind of campaigning. I told that to my father and he said I could not know until I had tried. Will Visit Friends "I believe I can do effective work, however, calling on the friends of Major Gardner all over the district and reminding them of what he would soy if he could speak to them. In the places I have already visited I have met with considerable success.

I believe we will have all but a comparatively few of the men who composed what was known as the Gardner machine with Mr. Pingree, "No, I shall not confine my efforts to work among the women voters. 1 know practically all of the men who were identified with Major Gardner in his political campaigns, and I shall make it a point to interview them before the primary election. I shall, of course, seek to enlist the support of women voters as well, and I believe I can help to Interest them in Mr. nomination and election.

returned from Washington only a few days ago and have only just started In the campaign, I think have supported Mr. Pingree anyway, because he was one of Major most loyal supporters. I know It is being used against him that he was not with Congressman Lufkin, when he first sought the nomination to succeed Major Gardner, but I do not think that makes any difference whatever. He was a Gardner man and was one of his "But while you believe Mr. Pln- gree should be nominated, your primary concern Is to Mr.
