Ewald and his wife, Bertha, in summing before the jury in the Federal Court, Manhattan, that will determine whether or not Ewald bought his job, today branded the principal witnesses for the prosecution squealers who "bit the hand that fed them." The case, which will probably go to the jury tonight, hinges testimony of Emmerich J. Boczor, formerly confidential secretary to Ewald, and Frank I. O'Neill, General Sessions Court attendant, both of whom testified they heard the Ewalds say the former Magistrate had bought his job in 1927. Describing Boczor as a man "who will tell any kind of a story" to suit his convenience, Sydney A.

Syme, counsel for the Ewalds, told the that although Boczor had testified he was a single man. when he applied for a fob in a bakery, he said in his application that he had wife and child. "The prosecution is trying to convict these two people on the testimony of two squealers." said counsel, "to convict them on the testimony of two men that bit the hand that fed them. The result of your consideration is momentous to the people AS well as to the defendants." Hits Prosecution Story The State contends the Ewalds gave Martin J. Healy, Tammany district leader, $10,000 for the appointment of Ewald.

The Ewalds claim it was a loan made to Healy to enable him to buy A house on Long Island. The last witness for the defense today was Barrett Carmody of 303 W. 122d Manhattan, secretary to Supreme Court Justice Phoenix Ingraham. He testified that he and Healy went into the stock market together and came out with the small profit of $36 each, thus tending to contradict the argument of the prosecution that Healy did not need to borrew money to buy the house. Says He Gloated Judge Ewald.

Takes Up O'Neill Citing Boczor's testimony that he had worked for two or three months without pay in the beauty parlor maintained by Mrs. Mary Gudat, his landlady, the attorney pointed out that Boczor had stated in his application for a job with Cushman's Bakery that he employed by Mrs. Gudat for year and a half at $35 week. "Boczor had absolutely no compunction whatsoever to falsify the facts to accomplish his end," the attorney said. "Ewald took Boczor out of the gutter and obtained for him a position paying $75, a week, the best salary he got," counsel said.

"'Then, because poor work. Ewald was forced to, get him out of the mining company. If would falsify to get an ordinary job, what would he do to hurt the man who cut off the only decent salary he had ever earned? "Boczor came here to hurt the Ewalds, Did you see the way he Sat there exulting and gloating over the defendants as he gave his testimony. He was gloating over the fact that he was carrying out his threats to get square with the Ewalds. The first and only opportunity he had to hurt the Ewalds came when Charles H.

Tuttle started this trouble. "We have been told here bow Boczor paced the floor outside the Federal Grand Jury room awaiting his opportunity to crucify Dr. Ewald and "Let us take the only time Boczor heard Mrs. Ewald confess to having had a part in the buying of this office. If Mrs.

Ewald was not present at that time the conversation did not take place. Boczor has testified that the conversation occurred while the Ewalds had their blue car, and that was turned in on July 23, 1929. "We have set the date of the conversation at Susskind's restaurant the night before Boczor says he to Mrs. Ewald as happening during the week before the Ewalds got rid of the blue car and two or three days after Mrs. Ewald had gone to Mariwold, her summer home near Monticello.

"Despite the closeness of her friendship for Boczor, she even sent him a postcard while she was in Mariwold, the only time he says Mrs. Ewald ever peeped about buying this job was on a morning when she was not within 150 miles of New York. Boczor has also said HOP FOR RECORD Istres, France. Jan. 16 (P)- his mechanic.

Lawyer Faces Discipline on Mortgage Sale Bar Says Paul Kahan Has Sold Worthless Paper to His Clients Charging him with giving clients worthless mortgages, the Brooklyn Bar Association this afternoon asked the Appellate Division to discipline Paul Kahan of 26 Court who was admitted to the Bar in 1906. Edward H. Wilson, as counsel for the grievance committee of the Bar Association, made the request.

Charles H. Kelby, representing Mr. Kahan as counsel, asked for a week to put in an answer to the charges. This was granted. Cite Carroll Mortgage The Bar Association accuses Mr.

Kahan of taking $30,000 from Mrs. Hildegarde Markowitz and of giving her in return a first mortgage on property at 267 Bedford Ave. This property was part of the estate of Senator Daniel Carroll and it is charged was so heavily mortgaged that the new mortgage was without value. Kahan was attorney for the estate and knew at the mortgage he gave was worthless, the Bar Association claims. The association also charges that the lawyer took $5,500 from Miss Helen Childs and gave her in return a mortgage on property at 265 Bedford Ave.

This property, worth only $7,800, according to the figures submitted by Mr. Wilson this afternoon, is said to have had 19 judgments aggregating $10,000 outstanding against it when the mortgage was issued. Several other instances are cited complaint of the Bar Association. Among them is the charge that Kahan took $1,000 from Fanny Markowitz, eventually repaying $400 of this sum, and then re took $4,000 more in exchange for a mortgage on 132A Sumner which the Bar Association claims was never recorded and which says was not owned by Harry Fishman, whose bond to guarantee was allegedly given by Kahan to Miss Markowitz. Last October, considerable excitement developed when it was learned that Kahan had been missing from his home at 125 Lenox Road for five days.

His wife, shortly before his return, told the Eagle that he had been ill and on the verge of a nervous breakdown and that she understood he had gone to "some sanitarium to recuperate."

QUERY--What is the best single thing to do to make effective Brooklyn's great strength? ANSWERED today by John Ruston. The most effective single thing that the people of Brooklyn should do is to heartily co-operate with the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce in the "All Brooklyn Progress Movement," which has only just begun. It is the beginning of a permanent effort, based on a definite and carefully planned program, adequately financed, to stimulate, develop and protect Brooklyn's business and civic interests.

Business has indicated that it is solidly, behind the Chamber. The second largest center of population in the United States and the fifth largest in the world, which has approximately 6,000 industries, which handles more than a quarter of the commerce of the United States, is deserving of a virile and effective Chamber of Commerce, devoted to the promotion of prosperity. Let us make it such. Tomorrow's answer by Louis Charles Wills. MOTT DENIES HE KNEW OF $4,500 NOTE FORGERY Continued From Page 1 a result of the Bellport's condition, had not yet inspected the Bellport bank's books when the eulogistic resolution was adopted, Raymond testified.

But the State banking examiners had, the witness added. Hansen, who is now under a threeyear -prison sentence for manipulation of the affairs of his own bank, is to be a witness for the Government in the present trial. "Didn't the records of your bank show, at the time this resolution was adopted, that the forged note in this trial was no good?" asked Wackerman of Raymond. Cashier Knew Note Was No Good "They showed it had not been paid," WAs the reply. Q.

Didn't you know that it was forged and no good? A. Yes. Q. Didn't you tell the board of directors so? A. Mott told them.

Q. (By the Court) Were you present when he told any of them? A. No, sir. Q. (By Mr.

Wackerman) Then what did you mean by telling me Mott told the board of directors? A. I was mistaken; I think he told two or three of them. Q. (By Mr. Singer) You bear Mott no malice? A.

None. Q. (By Mr. Wackerman) Yet you are ensuing him? A. about these forged notes: he stuck me, his best friend, with $6,000 of them.

Q. Did not Mott himself buy about $16,000 of them and Mott's mother about A. don't know Mott's business. Q. Don't the books show this? Objection by Singer sustained.

Says Mott Knew of Forgery Schuyler Orvis, a member of the New York Stock Exchange, was the second witness. His name had been forged to the note by Acquitted two months ago on a charge of using the mails to defraud, Miller, he admitted forged some during that $625,000 trial of fraudulent notes. with collateral agreements, for Hansen. The note in the present trial is one of the $625,000 total. Orvis testified he first learned of the existence of this note when the Elmhurst National Bank protested it for payment in September, 1929.

On receipt of the protest notice, said, he telephoned for Mott to some and see him. Mott did that afternoon, Orvis stated, and declared during that interview that "This is the second time today I've learned notes I have are forged." Through the next witness, DeForrest W. Alden, a former director of the Bellport National, Mr. Singer endeavored to establish that in discounting the $4,500 note Mott had made a loan not authorized by bank's loan committee. the minutes of the board of directors' meetings, however, Wackerman established that two weeks after the discounting the loan committee had approved it.

The Government sought next to prove that Mott had no authority to negotiate prior to approval by the bank's loan committee of any unsecured loan in excess of $500. It developed then that a collateral agreement, also forged but purporting to offer the Orvis seat on the Exchange as security, had been "lost in the Federal Attorney's office." A colloquy between counsel followed. Judge Moscowitz then reprimanded both lawyers and adjourned the trial. Military Services For Sgt. J.

Sooy, 60, boatswain's mate, first class, with a record of 21 years of service, who was found not to have received the customary bribe of from $100 to $400 a man per shipload of liquor allowed through, and who, as far as the evidence showed, knew nothing of the friendly relations between the rum-runners and their supposed foes.

Two Sent to Brig The other five were found guilty. Two of them, it was revealed today, have been sentenced to a year each in prison at the Portsmouth, N.

which was urged particularly for the more poplous counties of the State. Opposition to the proposal was led by former District Attorney Joab H. Banton, who asserted that it is the District Attorney's duty to defend the innocent as well as to prosecute the guilty. "If he has any conscience whatever he will never put to trial a about whose guilt he has any doubt," said Mr. Banton.

"The defense of a person accused of crime is not a matter of public importance. It his of interest, to the defendant himself. is a matter of public interest that the person accused of a crime, if he is guilty, prosecuted vigorously." Mr. Banton praised the voluntary defenders committee in New York and declared that "the poor defendant in New York is far better off than the rich." Frank H. Hiscock, former Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals and president of the association, in his annual address called for support of efforts being made the American Lak Institute modify or toy eliminat 'outgrown principles of common law."

William Levy, in behalf of the delegation in opposition, expressed his approval. Another Flatbush delegation appeared to protest against the assessment for the Flatbush relief sewer. Mayor Walker informed Miss Louise Sommer, spokesman for the delegation, that the matter would have to be brought up before the Municipal Assembly, and the petition to the Board of Estimate was filed.

Former Borough President Lewis H. Pounds and a delegation from the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce opposed a recommendation of Commissioner Sullivan to cut streets through the 40-acre tract in Red Hook, originally set aside for the possible terminal of the marginal railroad proposed some years ago. Pounds said that the cutting of streets would be the first step in selling the land in small parcels. He said the land should be held because of pending negotiations involving possible purchase of the tract for industrial or railroad use. He did not give details.

The Mayor suggested laying the matter over for two months. "Two months will hardly be enough time for matters to come to a head," said Pounds. "When the two months are up. the matter can be laid over again," said the Mayor. Find Lynbrook Man Guilty as Firebug Mineola, Jan.
