Mrs. Pennell was born in Phila delphia, the daughter of Edward Robins and Harriet Holmes Robins. She began to write when she was a girl.

A third man arrested last night was described by Mr. Oeoghan as a retailer of slugs. He was described as Max Feur of 329 Washington St.

Middlemen Profit Most Mr. Oeoghan's new Rackets Bureau played a leading role In bringing about the arrests and seizure of the disks and company books. Mr. Jacobs, who questioned the company officials and several employes, expressed the opinion that the principal cleanup was made by the middlemen with whom the company allegedly did business. The heaviest loser as a result of the illicit use of slugs was the New York Telephone Company, whose losses In this city last year from this practice amounted to more than 8315,000, it was said.

During the year more than slugs were Inserted Into telephone coin boxes. Mr. Geoghan said he had been Informed that the Interhorough Rapid Transit Company loses about 835,000 a -year and the Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Company about 318,000 a year by the use of slugs.

Solovel Remains Silent Joseph A Solovel also of defense counsel, remained mute during the' examination. He was unable to be present for the first three days and the first four Jurors were picked during his absence.

He represents Fred J. Hull, while the other two represent Meyer Luckman and his nephew, Harry Luckman. The taking of testimony in the highly-publicized trial will begin Monday after argument is heard on two motions for a dismissal of the Indictment made last Monday by the defense. Motions Hit Indictment Both motions claim the Indictment la illegal: one because It was returned during the pendency of the Indictment found by the November Grand Jury charging the same crime, and the other because the selection ot the extraordinary grand Jury was allegedly conducted illegally. After the Jury was completed.

Prosecutor Todd ked that it be noted for the record that Mr. Solovel constantly conferred with the other defense counsel during the past two days while the last ten Jurors were picked. "I did not participate. I did not ask any questions. I took no part in the selection of a single Juror," Mr.

Solovel retorted hotly. Acted Casually, He Says "Didn't you confer about the qualifications of various talesmen?" Justice Rogers asked. "Only in a casual way," Mr. Solovel explained. "Well," the court commented, also for the record, "I noticed that you three defense, counsel had your heads together whenever it came time to decide on a peremptory challenge.

Of course have no way of knowing what was being said." Mr. Solovel has contended that it was Illegal to start the picking of the Jury while he was not present and his client, Hull, was not represented. Juror No. 12, Mr. Ernst, was accepted after he had anlrl he woe a "district captain in the 18th Dis trict ana also very intimate with many members of the police department, the latter partly due to the fact that he was an expert on guns and coach of the Crescent Athletic-Hamilton Club pistol team.
