Civil War 9. Indian Wars 1. Former Court Attache Ready to Tell of Calls Made to County Jurist Accused in Bribery Assistant Attorney General John Harlan Amen was expected to rest his case today In the sensational bribery trial of County Judge George W. Martin in Brooklyn Supreme Court. Among the minor witnesses Amen planned to call today to wind up the State's charge that Judge Martin took a $1,000 bribe to dismiss an abortion indictment was Thomas J.

Boyce, former County Court attache. Boyce was expected to testify concerning telephone calls made to Judge Martin's chambers. Meanwhile, Andrew Duke, brother of Dr. Louis I. Duke, the doctor whose abortion indictment was dismissed by Judge Martin, faced continuation of a battering cross-exami Boro Legislator Faces Link to Immunity Fund Believed Official Accused by Duke In Abortion Racket Further indictments of public officials, charged with receiving part of the "protection fund" which Dr.

Louis I. Duke, Brooklyn abortion doctor, set up with ten percent of his income, were anticipated today in Assistant Attorney General Amen's investigation of the abortion protection racket. One of the additional officials on whom, it was believed, Dr. Duke "put the finger" is a State legisla tor from this borough. As a key prosecution witness in the bribery trial of County Judge George W.

Martin, Dr. Duke charged he paid bribes for "protection," not only to Judge Martin, but to at least one Brooklyn official and one Manhattan official. While Amen would not comment on whether Dr. Duke's testimony indicated other officials faced charges in connection with the physician's extensive practice in illegal operations, it was recalled the prosecutor's office has repeatedly stated that the abortion phase of the investigation was not yet completed. Testifying to sizable disbursements he made to "grease the wheels of Justice," Dr.

Duke said that for a period of ten or 11 months he paid out $200 a month and that since 1935 he had been putting aside 10 percent of his in- tonn a A On Thursday Course of Defense Still Undecided Due To Rapidity of Trial The Government today began drilling home the final legal rivets in Us case against Martin T.

Hall, who resumed the witness stand this morning. a Connection poultryman, is the last of Judge Manton accusers scheduled to be called on to testify.

Partly due to the rapidity with which the trial has progressed since its opening a week ago yesterday, Judge Manton's attorneys have revealed that they are still undecided about the exact form on which the defense structure will be based. However, it is expected that Judge Manton will testify in his own behalf either Thursday or Friday, MAY GO TO JURY THIS WEEK A precedent for major trials will be set if, as appears likely, the Man-ton case goes to the jury by the ehd of this week. Usually at least five, ten or even more weeks are needed to complete the presentation of such a complex case. Hall, a rotund middle-aged man, today related the details of an alleged Judicial "sale" to him by Judge Manton which first carried a price tag of $75,000 but was later reduced to $67,000. He began his story yesterday when he testified that in 1935 he had a conversation with Forrest W.

Davis, a Manton co-defendant who has pleaded guilty, about a patent suit which he and his brother, Charles, had lost Jn a Federal District Court. The Hall brothers, who are one of the nation's largest operators in the business of hatching chicks, faced a possible $1,000,000 damage assessment as a result of losing the patent suit, he said, which was based on the use of- a certain type oi chicken incubator.

Neutrality Plan Foes Map Fight Senate Isolationists Threaten Filibuster On Hull Changes Washington, May 30 (U.R) Senate isolationists threatened today to organize a filibuster to prevent enactment of the administration's cash and carry neutrality program at this session of Congress.

Some Administration leaders conceded that if a filibuster is started, the plan for neutrality law revision proposed by Secretary of State Cor-dell Hull would have to wait until 1940.

Notorious Murderer Slain in Philadelphia' Philadelphia, May 30 Two possible motives white slave operations or revenge were advanced by police today as they speculated upon what lay behind a hail of shotgun slugs which blasted out the life of Danny Day in a Philadelphia's gangster-style slaying. The notorious slayer, who once eluded swift death in the electric chair, met it just as swiftly yesterday when three assailants in a black sedan pulled abreast of his own automobile and riddled his body with two blasts from a sawed-off shotgun.

A warm and friendly sun, tempered by cooling breezes, after two days of unseasonable heat, shone down on, the 15,000 marchers who paraded in honor of fallen comrades in the three great conflicts waged to preserve the country's integrity. Led by John A. Morrison of the Grand Army of the Republic, who was grand marshal, an even half-dozen of the "boys in blue" were all who remained in Brooklyn who were able to represent the Civil War in the parade.

The G. A. R. veterans, all in their 90's, rode in cars. They were: Thomas Barker, 93, Bellmore; Robert G.

Summers 97, of 35 Herkimer St. S. A. Affeld, 94, of 873 President William Rice, 93, of 1179 Broadway; Terrencr O'Neill, 94, of 1769 W. 9th St.

and Henry W.

Promptly at 9:30 a.m. the parade got under way at Bedford and Lafayette Aves.

The veterans marched south along Bedford Ave. to Eastern Parkway, along that wide thoroughfare to and through the Sold iers and Sailors Memorial Arch at Grand Army Plaza, with dismissal at the end of the Plaza. A mounted police escort preceded Grand Marshal Morris and Cel. William A. Dawkins, adjutant gea eral and chief of staff.

REGULARS LEAD PARADE In the first division marched soldiers from Fort Hamilton and detachments of marines and sailors from the Navy Yard. The National Guard, New York Naval Militia and Fleet Marine Corps Reserve comprised the second division. The G. A. R.

S. Flier, Now Long Overdue London, May 30 (ft) The bold attempt of 24-year-old Thomas Smith to span the North Atlantic in a flivver-type plane seldom used for flights of more than 250 miles appeared today to have ended tragically.

Three curiously dove-tailed reports that a small plane possibly Smith's Aeronca monoplane had been sighted over Britain kept hope alive and the boundary lights aglow at Croydon Airport until early this morning. Then officials snapped off the lights mute acknowledgement that the oung Californlan scarcely was expected. When the lights were switched off, 41 hours and 13 minutes had elapsed since Smith lifted his heavily-laden plane from the sands of Old Orchard Beach, 3,100 miles from Croydon, with enough fuel for about 3,600 miles, or 36 to 42 hours of flight. TERMED FOOLHARDY With the darkening of the field only officials, ground crew, news papermen and photographers were left of the thousands on holiday that had thronged Croydon in ex pectation of welcoming the flier. Officials reckoned the elapsed time against Smith's $30 worth of fuel and oil.

shook their heads and reiterated that it was a "crazy flight," Customs officials remained at the field all night "just in case" and Croydon's big beacon still burned, searching the skies for the plane' of a young man who had planned for seven years to prove that the At lantic could be crossed in an aerial flivver. The "Baby Clipper" Smith's name for the 670-pound machine powered with a four-cylinder, 65- horsepower engine was believed to have been pointed for Slyne Head Ireland. But before the Sunday takeoff Smith answered questions as to his destination with: "Europe is as close as I can tell you." PARENTS KEEP VIGIL Clarksburg. W. May 30 VP Tommy Smith's parents kept an all-night vigil beside their radio and telephone hoping every minute for word their adventursome young son had escaped death on a transatlantic flight they tried in -vain to halt.

Eyesore from their struggle to keep awake through the long watch, Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Smith clung resolutely to their faith in the ability of then third-born to win out with his "Baby Clipper" plane. While lengthening hours brought no confirmed report of the flier's fate, the stoical mother prayed she still would be able to dispatch this cablegram penned soon after Smith's takeoff: "Congratulations, Tommy. Please come home by boat for my sake." They told of trying to reach him by telephone to plead that he abandon plans for the flight, but Smith had been gone an hour when they finally got a connection.

A brown-faced man with a shock of iron-gray hair, he said he acted as a contact man between Dr. Duke and other doctors and druggists. He testified that he called the office of William Lurie, attorney, and that he, Lurie and Dr. Duke later had a conference in Lurie' office. "What was said?" Amen asked.

"We asked Mr. Lurie if there was anything to worry about in the case, and he told us there was nothing to worry about," he said. "He told me he was going to teiephone Judge Martin."

Later, Lurie told the Dukes he had spoken to Judge Martin and "everything was going to be all right," Duke testified. On cross-examination by Klein-man, Duke declared there was "a social problem" connected with abortions and that he never investigated his brother's cases. He himself once operated the Community Medical Service, which sold doctors' frvices for an annual rate, between and $14 a year, but "it didn't i long."
