I. I THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, MONDAY, APRIT; 26. 1915. 3 WHITE COOL AS JURY IS PICKED Clubman, Facing Two Robbery Charges, Is Cheerful in Court.

WIFE AND BABY GREET HIM. Ex-Judge Wahle in Charge of fense- Clubman Is Jury Foreman. Philip T. White, the $6,000 a year manager of the Masury Paint Cornpany, who is under indictment for robberies at the Sackett Wilhelms Company plant in August of last year and the Masury Paint Company in June, was brought before Supreme Court Justice Aspinall in the Supreme Court today to be tried on the Masury in- dictment. The entire morning and a greater part of the afternoon was taken up with the selection of the jury, for both sides were desirous of getting men who were entirely unprejudiced.

The panel was one, before the foreman was chosen at 11 o'clock the defense had used up five of its challenges. Ex-Magistrate Charles G. F. Wahle of Manhattan was chief counsel for White and was assisted by John S. Bennett.

White was brought into court just before. Justice Aspinall opened court. He was cheerful, and after a short conference with his attorneys looked around the courtroom until he had located his wife who was sitting in the rear with his baby daughter. Mrs. White was dressed in simple black tailor-made dress with a rather large flower covered hat, and as her husband smiled she waved her hand and had the baby girl wave to her father.

business White was suit. He dressed was in a entirely dark at erase and took a great deal of interest the men who were being questioned as to their fitness to sit on the jury, and from time to time he leaned over for an earnest conversation with Mr. Wahle. Crescent Clubman Is Jury Foreman. The foreman of the White jury is Fred C.

Tipson a man, who lives at 202 Quincy street. The remarkable thing about his choice was that he admitted that he belonged to the Crescent Athletic Club, to which White also belongs, and he said that he had seen the defendant two or three times in the club rooms on Pierrepont street. Notwithstanding this, he was accepted by Assistant District Attorney Allen, who is conducting the case for the people. The next man examined, William Hope Wells of, 424 Seventy-seventh street, was acceptable to the prosecution and the defense took him without asking a single question. He is a middle-aged man, with slightly gray hair, and he said that he had never read anything to about the White case.

From that time on, however, the selection of jurors was slow and it was not until nearly noon that Harry H. Bramer of 247 Cooper street and William J. Doyle of 115 Butler street were accepted. White is charged with being one of the taxi robbers who on June 5, 1914, went to the offices of the Masury Paint Company, in Jay street, and held up the paymaster. The indictment does not say that White was in the car, and it has been established that at the time he happened to be in the lower hallway.

indictment followed the indictment which connected him with the Sackett Wilhems robbery in August. James Clinnin has already been tried in connection with that robbery and has been found not guilty, but following the finding of an indictment against White, another indictment charging Clinnin with the crime has been found, and the latter will be tried after White's trial is over. James J. Clinnin came into court during the morning session and before the last of the jurors selected during the session had taken their places. He looks like a twin brother of White, although he is not quite as stout.

He was dressed in a brown suit, wore white stockings and black tie shoes, seemed very much interested in what the talesmen who were examined had to say. He once or twice laughed silently with the man who sat beside him, as the talesmen made some reply which was slightest bit humorous. Clinnin's fiancee was also in court. The girl is pretty brunette, and she was very much interested in the selection of the men who were to try White. At the last trial of Clinnin, White provided an alibi for her lover.

and it is understood that that alibi was one of the things which led the police to believe that White had something to do with the robberies. Nine Jurors Picked at Noon Recess. At 12:45 the morning session was closed because Justice Aspinall announced that the panel had been exhausted and it would be necessary to get jurors from some of the other parts of the Supreme Court. At that time nine jurors had been chosen. The five chosen during the last half hour of the session were: Albert Herbert J.

Cooper of of 618 Sixth street; Crane 185 Lenox road; Ralph B. Hasbrouck of 478 Third street; Lester T. Lombra of 233 Thirteenth street, and Thomas B. Wood of 78 Fourth place. As the morning session went tediously along, while the jurors were being questioned excused one after the other, White's little daughter grew very tired just about noon her head dropped over into her mother's lap and she went fast asleep.

The mother sat with her until the last man had left the courtroom before she awoke the baby, and then she took her in her arms to the corridors. MRS. BREITUNG ON STAND Defends Her Actions in Kleist's Suit for $250,000. Mrs. Edward N.

Breitung took the stand today in the $250,000 alienation suit brought against her and her husband by Max Kleist, former coachman, who married their daughter, Juliet. Kleist asks the heart-balm, alleging that coercion on the part of the Brietungs cost him Juliet's affections. It was Mrs. Breitung's first appearance on the stand, and she appeared very nervous, frequently using a bottle of smelling salts. Mrs.

Breitung testified that she first saw Kleist the wedding, on December 1, affin, when a detective brought him to the St. Regis, saying that he had to wait to sober Max up. Then, she said, Kleist called her daughter a "flirt." "He said something unkind about my family," said Mrs. Breitung, "that got my He called my daughter a name and when Mr. Breitung arose to make for the boy, I stepped between them."

Up-Staters Responsible. CANNERIES A Bill to Permit Transfer of ScudderWilson Case Now in Governor's Hands. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, April 26-The Mills-Brennan bill to put out of business the mortuary chapel in Lefferts place is dead. A last minute effort to jam it through the Assembly along toward sunrise Sunday morning failed. The measure had previously passed the Senate and was turned over to the rules committee of lower house, where for two days the efforts of Assemblyman Brennan, supported by a good many of the Brooklyn legislators and Controller E.

M. Travis, to dislodge it proved futile. The up-Staters held Brooklyn men responsible for the defeat of the compromise canning bill, which had been recommitted to the rules committee several days before, with the help of the Brooklyn votes, and every time an effort was made by the local men to pry out the mortuary chapel bill the up-Staters wanted to know if the Brooklyn men would stand for the reporting of the canneries bill again. The Brooklynites refused to consider any such scheme. After the passage of the big financial and revenue measures Sunday' morning Assemblyman Brennan moved to discharge rules committee of the chapel bill to force it out on the floor of the lower house.

Brennan made a strong speech in its behalf, but the effort was futile. On the vote--a rising vote--he rounded up only about twenty votes. In the closing moments, however, one other important Brooklyn measure was brought out of committee and passed. It the Lockwood bill to permit the transference of the Scudder-Wilson from the local Appellate Division to some other division in the State. The bill was introduced inthe Senate by Lockwood and an at-.

tempt to offer it as a privileged bill, by unanimous consent, in the lower. house, by Assemblyman Brennan, failed by one vote. It went through the Senate easily, but was held up in. the rules committee of the lower body. It came before the house finally in the: closing moments and was passed.

is now in the Governor's hands. The bill was greatly desired by the members of the local Appellate Division, because they did not want to sit on a case involving one of their number-the late Joseph A. Burr, and the present law covering such transferences was not sufficiently broad to admit of the transference of this case. The Justices of the local Appellate Division, headed by Presiding JusticeJenks, will make personal appeals by letter to Governor Whitman to sign the measure. Although they had set the hour of final adjournment at 12 o'clock noon Saturday, the Senate and Assembly did not actually stop grinding out laws until 4:20 o'clock Sunday morningthe clocks in the two chambers standing at a few minutes of the noon hour for fourteen hours and twenty minutes while the leaders mauled over the big financial bills, the election amendments and the big revenue measures.
