Assurances were received, said Broderick, that the affiliate loans would be reduced and further commitments stopped.

"How about the Marcus-Singer loan as syndicate managers?" Steuer asked. "They were told It was illegal. It was understood the loans would be paid off." "What did you say about the illegality of officers of the bank trading in the bank stock aa a syndicate and borrowing from the bank?" Steuer pressed. Broderick did not recall other than that he demanded the personnel and policy changes. "A surgical operation better than a laxative," the witness put It.

Casey Walker Expected To Name Casey To Bench Today Bar Society Understood to Back Him to Succeed II a 1 as Magistrate Mayor Walker was expected today to name Thomas F. Casey of 157 Sullivan Place to fill Leo J. Hcaly's unexpired term as city magistrate. Appointment of Mr. Casey, presi dent of the Brooklyn Emerald So ciety, Is understood to have been approved by officers of the Brook' lyn Bar Association yesterday after noon.

The officers would authorize no statement of the action taken on Mr. Casey, whose name the Mayor submitted to them for approval. At the meeting were the officers of the association and a number of lawyers whose practice takes them into criminal and magistrates courts frequently. They are understood to have voiced their approval of Mr. Casey The Emerald Society president was the only name submitted to the association.

Four others had been prominently mentioned for the post, which pays $12,000 a year, before Mayor Walker sent Mr. Casey's name to the Bar Association. He had not been mentioned as a can didate up to that time. Alderman Francis D. McOarey, one of those listed as a possible choice, said today that he was In favor of Casey and that he had "done everything in hts power to bring about the appointment.

Democratic Leader McCooey sub mitted several other names to the Mayor, but Indicated his preference for the Emerald Society chief, who has never held political office, al though active In the Democratic party. Mr. Casey has been a practicing lawyer for 11 years. His office has been in Manhattan. A member of the Andrew Jackson Democratic Club, he was for many years a member of the Democratic Speak ers Bureau.

If appointed, Mr. Casey's term will expire July 1, 1940. Healy re cently created the vacancy by re signing as his action in freeing a confessed hit-and-run driver was under fire. He had been under charges before, but was cleared. Leo J.

Hickey, another whose name had been mentioned for the post, today declared that he "heart ily approved" the choice of Mr, Casey. Kalischel Aids Brooklyn Edison; Bias Is Denied Louis Kalischel, electrical contrac tor, of 288 Livingston 8t testified in behalf of the Brooklyn Edison Company and affiliated concerns before the Public Service Commission today. The hearing had been called on the application of a group of Brook lyn electrical contractors to compel the utilities to pay osts of lnstalla tlon in multiple dwellings. Kalischel declared that the ten ant rather than the company should pay for a change of installation in certain cases. John M.

Walker, president of the Electrical Club of Brooklyn, whicn is fighting the utilities on the ques tion, said Kalischel was "biased" in favor of the companies, one of which had once supported a plan of his. Kalischel denied that he was biased. Air Crash Kills Man, Injures 2 At Matteawan Ship Hits Tree on Asylum Ground in Takeoff After Forced Landing Beacon, N.

unis a oiuo nf naTtftnml rend. It tUt Broderick on record as stating that he "would not approve tne oeai. Tin vnn know that this is a false copy?" the defense counsel asked. "I do not," BrodericK said. "Then how do you account for the omission of the sentence that you 'might not oppose the transaction after the statement that you would not approve of it?" "I did not know that it had been." "The stenographer's transcript of Mr.

Egbert's dictation is In the court room under subpena," Buckner returned. "Did you make any such statement?" "Not that I can recall." "You are sure you cannot find the original memorandum?" "We have made a diligent search," Broderick replied. Continuing to read from the memorandum, Buckner brought out that at the end of the conference the bankers had arranged to bring their auditors to the Banking Department the next day for further discussion of the deal. "Why was such aa arrangement made if you would net approve the transaction?" Buckner pressed. "We don't object to anybody coming In at any time" was the response.

Under direct examination by Steuer, Broderick declared that he had not, and would not have, approved the deal. He did not know that the shuffle had been carried out until two months after the transaction was made, he testified. A battle of objections between Steuer and Buckner and Charles H. Tuttle, also for the defense, furnished a lively background for Broderick's story of the bank collapse. Broderick had taken the stand today for the State in the Bank of United States trial before Judge Donnellan and a Jury in General Sessions.

He testified he had never ap- nrnved of the s8.000.000 debt-SWltch- ing for which the bankers are on trial. Special Prosecutor Steuer grilled the Banking Superintendent, while Charles H. Tuttle and Buckner maintained a rapid flow of objections. The defendants, besides Marcus and Saul Singer, are Henry W. Pollock and Herbert Singer.

Broderick Forces Steuer Tall and taciturn, Broderick walked stately to the stand. He carried a bulky brief-case. He wors a blue business suit and blue polka-dot tie and sat forward facing Steuer like an interested student in classroom. "Did you examine the Bank of United States In June, 1929?" Steuer asked. Broderick caused such an exami nation, he said.

It was completed in September. Copies of it were furnished defendents Marcus, and the older Singer, said the witness. and were the topics of official con ference. The witness also sent a copy to Isidor J. Kresel.

"if I recall cor rectly." Tuttle objected. "The report is not first-hand testimony. It Is not binding on the defendants," ho urged. Steuer quoted a Latin phrase or two in brief argument. "Objection overruled," said Judge Donnellen, Report In Evidence The report went in as exhibit 179 adding a few inches to the stack of exhibits five or six feet high that the Jurymen will be called upon to ponder.

Broderick then tebtifled he had also, and concurrently, caused an examination of ihe Bankus Corpo ration. The aocune.il became an other exhibit. Buckner introduced one of his in frequent objections. He argued that most of the contents of the report were not germane to the matter on trial. "We have no objection," he said, to having all the documents bearing on the issue in evidence.

"I would suggest, though, that Mr, Broderick proceed to testify, and that the pages or tne reports rei evant here be marked into evi dence." Again Overruled The court again overruled the de fense battery. "Was It the custom of the Bank ing Department to turn over the re ports to bank officers?" Steuer asked. "No," Broderick responded. "This was the first time you had taken the step?" "Yes." "Why?" "I informed the officers that I wanted them to study up on the reports, that we might confer on them." The conference was called ten days later (Sept. 13) in the Bar AS' sociation.

This marked the second entry of the "13" date In the trial. The debt shuffle deal was a transaction of the "terrible" 13th of Jan uary. Marcus, the elder and junior Singers, Kresel, C. Stanley Mitchell, Simon H. Kugel, the witness him self, and the Chief Bank Examiner were the conferees, Broderick recalled.

"Did Mr. Kresel argue the re ports?" Steuer queried. don't know how to answer that question," Broderick replied. "We all discussed matters. The discussion involved the 12 recommendations made by the examiners in the report.

Steuer brought out that Broderick added to this list two recommendations of his own. 'I recommended that the bank get out of real estate and into the commercial field," said the witness, "and that It undergo the change of management. 'I advised the bank that other wise I believed it would have been impossible for the bank to succeed." Directors Mitchell and Kugel, Broderick said, were recommended by him to take the helm. The Bar Association discussion also turned on the debts of the affiliates. A few some $5,000,000 of Accused of Improper Relations With Firm Borough President Harvey at noon today adjourned the hearing of Highway Superintendent Irving S.

Klein on charges preferred by the City Affairs Committee until May 5 The adjournment came upon the motion of Joseph V. Leonardo, defense counsel, to prepare an answer to the charges. He pleaded thai he had not been able to obtain the minutes -of Deputy Controller Prial's hearings. He also said he wanted to check up on any 1930 Investigations of highway bureau employes and to collect data explaining Klein's transactions. The morning session brought Its developments, public Works Com missloner John J.

Halleran, aiding Harvey in the hearing, promised a thorough investigation "to show the Intrigue that is going on In the borough." Plans Public Hearing "The borough administration Intends to investigate and have a hearing In all matters relating to the Aragona Construction Company," he said. "We will have a public hearing." Louis Waldman, counsel for Paul Blanshard, executive director of the City Affairs Committee, who filed the three charges, added a fourth accusation. He based it on the affairs of the Aragona Company. It Is that "Klein has had improper relations with the Aragona Construction Company now in bankruptcy and which had contractural relations with Klein's department." Leonardo moved for dismissal of the charges. Harvey denied the motion on three of tin four charges.

He reserved decision on the second, wnich alleged that as an official of the Irgestan Realty Corporation, failed to file a Federal Income tax In 1930. The other charges are: that Klein failed to answer properly questions put to him last week by Deputy Controller Prlal regarding allega tions of a $3,000 oil contract bribe, ana that Klein was guilty of repeated malfeasance in payroll padding, which resulted in the dismissal of a number of men In Klein's department by Public Works Commissioner Halleran. Browne Clashes With W.D.Moore On Park Contract Latter Denies He Lost Job Browne Tells of New Contractor W. D. Moore of W.

D. Moore Sons, contractors, yesterday denied that he had been obliged to forfeit the McKinley Park contract because of failure to resume work this Spring. "Monday night," Mr. Moore said, "I spoke with George F. Davy, chief engineer of the Park Department, over the telephone but no reference was made to the effect that the contract was forfeited.

"As a matter of fact I assured Mr. Davy work was to be resumed Wednesday or Thursday. I was not informed at any time that another contractor was to take over McKinley Park work." Mr. Davy was said to be ill today when attempts were made to reach him at his office. Park Commissioner Jamen J.

Browne assured The Eagle that another contractor already had been obtained by the surety company. He was unable to supply the name of the new contractor. "It was most unfair of Mr. Moore," the commissioner said, "to go to The Eagle with a complaint against the Park Department. I did everything I could to save Mr.

Moore. I gave him a number of extensions of time when he came to me pleading poverty. "The job should have been finished six months ago. I tried to save Mr. Moore in the face of the many complaints from residents of the McKinley Park section who came in delegations urging that I have the work pushed through.

"I warned Moore when he took the contract that the job might prove too big for him but he was confident he could handle It." The Commissioner had the record on the contract looked up in his files. The record showed the contract had been awarded Oct. 15, 1929. The Job was to take 75 days, the Commissioner said. "That ought to speak for itself," he declared.

No work was in progress at the park this morning. Idle Man Barred As Banana Hawker Jobless eighteen months, and father of a two-day-old baby, Dom- inick Ferentlno, 37, 189 borrowed $10 this morning, spent it all on bananas and began hawking them on E. 12th St. near Ocean Parkway. Patrolman Salvador R.

Argono of Parkville precinct arrested him for peddling without a license. I suspend sentence," Magistrate Rudick told Ferentino In Flatbush Court. "I guess you'll have to live on the bananas, because you can't sell them without a license." Allows Plea to Fill Jamaica Bay Creeks Washington, April 15 (fP) Applica tion of the City of New York for per mission to fill in certain creeks and waterways in Jamaica Bay were approved today by the Secretary of War. The waterways across E. 38th St.

between Avenue and Pelican St. and also Pelican St. between E. 38th St. and Flatbush Ave, Brooklyn, William Douglas Mott, former president of the Bellemore, L.

National Bank, was acquitted today before Federal Judge Campbell of mail fraud charges. It was the second verdict Mott has won in prosecutions resulting from transactions Involving the discounting of forged promissory notes. At neither trial did his lawyer, Joseph H. Wackerman, put him on the stand to. testify In his own behalf.

Two other Individuals Involved in the transactions are now under prison sentences. Albert H. Hansen, former president of the Elmhurst National Bank, pleaded guilty to misapplying funds of his bank and received three years imprisonment. W. Douglas Miller, note broker of Tenafly, N.

after winning one acquittal on a trial as accessory to Mott in discounting a forged note, pleaded guilty to forging another not. He received two years and six months. About $500,000 of the forged notes were discounted and distributed. Hansen testifying as a Government witness before Judge Campbell, estimated that $300,000 had been sold to individuals residing in and about Elmhurst and the remainder In and about Bellemore. Wackerman, at Mott's first trial, charged that all forgeries had been made by Miller and that Hansen and Mott had been Miller's dupes.

Miller's lawyer did not dispute this. Members of the Jury in that trial said after their verdict that they had acquitted Miller because of Instructions by the court that they could find him guilty only if they first found Mott so. The mail fraud possession was based on misrepresentations Mott made by mall to purchasers of the notes after he discovered they were forged. The prosecution claimed this was to lull them into a false sense of security to defraud them. Wackerman presented It to the Jury as designed to prevent a run on the bank and to give Mott time In which to attempt restitution.

Partial restitution was made. France Takes 2d Place From U. S.

The plans of Samuel Seabury, chief counsel to the probers, and Senator Hofstadter, chairman, call for the investigation staff to be formed within a week or ten days, and for taking testimony behind closed doors not later than May 1. Public hearings are expected to pet under way a month or six weeks later.

Toward this end, Commissioner Seabury and John Kirkland Clark, his chief counsel, were pushing for ward today to end their inquiry oil District Attorney Craln's fitness to continue in offlee beiore the legis lative Inquiry begins to strike. Roosevelt Asks Data Governor Roosevelt's letter to Commissioner Seabury requesting the testimony taken on the racketeering count against Crain was answered today by the sending of a transcript testimony to the Governor by special messenger. The Governor It was announced at Albany, plans to leave for a vaca tion at Warm Springs, shortly after May 1. and would prefer at that time not to be encumbered by records. The Governor's request also asked to supply him with tran scrips of "other public hearings as they occur." "This will enable me to keep up with the matter currently, he declared.

It was officially stated that the Governor's request was not prompt-. ed by Crain's testimony that the Governor had failed to recommend anti-racketeering legislation advocated by the prosecutor. Crain had urged a measure that would allow him to examine witnesses under oath before hauling them before the grand jury, but the legislation did materialize. Crain Hearing Pat Over Public hearings in the Crain matter are expected to be resumed early next week. Unless plans are changed, evidence will be taken as to further food and milk racketeering and the stalling of the Pathe fire prosecutions.

Presence of recognized underworld hanserson and "high spade" players figuring in the Arnold Roth-stein case in Seabury 's office late yesterday indicated that Crain's handling of the gambler-racketeer's murder is under scrutiny. Federal agencies, meanwhile, have trained an eye on the Fulton Fish Market racketeering evidence laid before Commissioner Seabury for checking up income tax returns. This evidence indicates that the missing Joe Lanza and Charlie Bkillen exacted $50,000 a year tributes from dealers. Klein Records Refused The Queens investigation continued to be a free-for-all fight. Controller Berry yesterday declined to turn over to Borough President Harvey records of his investigation into the activities of Irving Klein, Harvey's superintendent of highways.

Berry announced that the records would go directly to the Queens District Attorney. Harvey is investigating the City Affairs Committee charges that Klein received a $3,000 "gift" from an allegedly successful contractor. The Committee of One Thousand, of which William Jay Schieffelin is temporary chairman, will meet In Town Hall tomorrow afternoon to hear reports and effect an organl-eation.

Broderick said that it was not until March, 1930, that he had heard of the Premier and Bolivar companies. "Did you see Marcus shortly after Jan. Steuer asked. "Yes; Marcus called on me with two other gentlemen." Broderick thought, but was not sure, that the others were Saul Singer and Kresel.

"What was said at the confer ence?" Steuer pressed. "Mr. Marcus said that Bankus owed "Bankus ower inter jected Steuer. "I considered he meant by Bankus all the affiliates," Broderick went on. "Marcus said that the annual meeting was coming on and that he was a little' disturbed at the price of the stock." Steuer interrupted again.

"You said before the grand Jury that Marcus was very much disturbed," he shot. "Marcus said he wanted to Ret Bankus in better shape," the witness went on. Opposed Marcus Plan "I told him Bankus was not under our supervision excepting as far as it owes money to the bank. "Marcus said 'We have got 000 in good securities we can sell to the "I told Marcus that I would insist on the original obligation of the borrowers being retained," Broder ick continued. "Was there any mention of what the securities were? "No "Did you ever learn what they were?" "No." Marcus and Singer called on him again on Jan.

11, Broderick related "They told me," he said, "that they would like to have $12,000,000 in securities of Bankus and afflli ates sold to the safe deposit compa nies and use that money to pay the debt to the bank. The safe deposit companies were to borrow that amount from the bank." "What did you say?" "I do not know whether I said we would not approve or that we would disapprove. Steuer sat down, apparently sat- lsnea. Buckner quickly entered his charge of altering banking depart ment records. Then In a friendly way the de fense counsel probed Into Broder lck's long banking career and the organization of his department.

He asked If Broderick had obtained permission from Marcus and Singer for the Bankus examination in 1929 "I don't recall," was the reply. Lacked Authority, He Says "You regarded that you did not have any authority to examine Bankus?" Buckner went on. "I did." Judge Donnellan joined in a dis cussion on the banking superln tendent's prerogatives. Broderick said that the law giving the Bank ing Department autnority to exam ine bank affiliates ws not enacted until 1930. Kresel, Broderick related, "did most of the talking" at the Bar Association conferences.

Duffy explained the manner in which the bank purchased 8.750 shares of the Bank of United States stock from the estate of the late Samuel Barrett, who was president of another bank which had been merged with the Bank of United States. Mr. Perskln also revealed that two other subsidiaries of the defunct bank, the City Financial Corpora tion and the Municipal Finance Cor poration, had borrowed $1,450,000 and $1,500,000, respectively, from the parent institution, without Interest, to purchase this Barnett stock.

Philip P. Farley, consulting engineer in the Borough President's office, requested members of the Brooklyn Women's Court Alliance to submit to him a report on the facilities needed for the new building.

At present the proposed plot has 165 feet of frontage and 82 feet of depth. Building requirements would probably cut the depth to about 62 feet, Mr. Farley told the delegation.

Borough President Hesterberg asserted that, should the plot be cut too much, he would favor acquisition of the adjoining plot fronting on Pearl so that the new court could run through the block.
