During the investigation, it was recalled Ruth was described as a "most important" witness by Ban-ton, so important that he tried to keep her hidden from public view while she was here. Indeed, he said she was one of the big pivot points of the case but now she has sunk to a place where Brothers says he won't need her at all. Actually Ruth can testify that McManus was in his room during the day not the night of the shooting. Since Murray is ready with a smiling concession on that point, there is no need for Ruth to come to New York. For Unpaid Hotel Bill The plight of a widowed -j-.

American Red Cross, was indorsed today by John E. Ruston, president of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce.

According to Mr. Ruston, the organization of industries here in Brooklyn is the souyndest way of obtaining the membership which carries on the work of the Brooklyn chapter. "It is sound," said Mr. Ruston, "to have Brooklyn's industries call their own roll, to have the impulse come from within to gve support to the great humanitarian work of the American Red Cross and partial' larly the work of the local Brooklyn chapter. "Brooklyn has gained fifth posl tlon among thel argest industrial centers in the United States, ac cording to recent figures of the Chamber of Commerce.

The value of its products amounts to nearly $1,185,500,000 A large percentage of the boro population is engaged In industry. In turning to industry again this month to call the Red Cross Roll the Brooklyn chapter is giving proof that the force which makes the Red Cross is thef orce of the millions of Americans who sympathize with the victims of fdlsas-ter, wherever they may be." 9 Believed Safe On Arctic Vessel Nome, Alaska, Nov. 26 (P) Frank Dorbandt, Alaskan pilot, today awaited the arrival of planes from Fairbanks to accompany hlmm on an aerial search for Carl Ben Elcl-son, noted Arctic filer, who has been missing several days.

Lawyers Approve Smith.

Then Brothers and Murray both got up and said they had implicit faith in Smith and in his "fitness to be a juror." Harold Smith of 244 W. 74th st. was then called as the first of the panel to be questioned on his fitness to fill former Juror Piker's seat. Murray challenged Smith without asking him a solitary question. Harry A.

Harman of 609 W. 188th st. took Smith's place. Murray refused to use any of his 29 unused challenges without at least trying to examine him. Harma'i was challenged then by the State.

Henry M. Polhemus of 108 E. 86th a banker, was an ardent and active Coudert supporter in the campaign for the District Attorney office, so he was promptly challenged by Brothers. Harold A. Moss of 310 W.

Brother admitted this morning attorney, in behalf of a number of stockholders. Meier Steinbrink appeared as attorney for the company. Lee presented his second application to Justice Dunne for an order which would compel the Pyramid officers to let him and his ac-countani finecomli the records of the company, so they may determine whether the company has violated its promises to the stockholders or obtained money from the sale of stock by misrepresentation or concealment. Lee was denied similar privilege last February by Supreme Court Justive Faber, who declared he was convinced Lee was merely working in. behalf of a Pyramid competitor arid did not make the application in good faith.

Operator Supplied List. Besides setting forth documentary evidence the Pyramid Company presents an affidavit by Florence Mc-Namara, a telephone operator for merly in its employ, who swears that one Ned Rankin, in Lee behalf. bribed her with an offer of $100 to steal a list of ths stockholders. In her affidavit and in a statement 6he has made also to Assistant District Attorney KopfT, Miss McNamara swore that when she went to Lee's office for her pay she saw there the list she had turned over to Rankin and that Lee gave her only a check for $15. When she had been summoned to the District Attor ney's office, she swore, Lee accom panied here there and told her to say the check was far a week's work his office as a substitute phone operator.

She also retailed to Lee, she said, conversations about the Pyramid business which she heard by eavesdropping on the Pyramid switchboard. Revealed New Company. It is also alleged that Lee hired solicitors who went to stockholders in an effort to collect 1 percent of their holdings for Mr. Lee or subscriptions of 50 cents for each $100 worth of stock, to establish a fund for the fight against the pres ent Pyramid officers and directSrs of the Pyramid and that he prom ised in writing over his own signa tures to pay them 15 percent of all they brought in. Affidavits by Dom- inick Saladino and Pasquale Carac ciolo are to that effect and Saladino also alleges that Lee told him "another company is ready to take over the Pyramid as soon as the fight is won." Charles A.

Tlbbetts, president of the Pyramid, in his own affidavit directly lays the blame at the door of the American Home Foundation. He alleges that that company about a year ago souaht a contract to handle all the money of the Pyramid and subordinate and associated companies, with a guarantee of 10 percent net to the Pyramid, and that its offer was rejected.

Lee himself has a long affidavit, setting forth his ideas to the charges of "mismanagement" tht he presents. He is seeking with aid of his proposed examination to protect stockholders' Interests. He says the present outstanding capitalization consists of 225,973 shares of $20 par value preferred stock; 106.403 thares of no par class A common rnd 200,000 class common. The preferred and class A stocks are In 'he hands ol the public. He alleges that Rene and Knoetgen, who own 432 of preferred and 132 common appeared at the company's of-lices Oct.

1 and demanded the right to Inspect the books. This demand was reiusrd and continues to be refused. The Colonial Charter Company of Delaware, transfer agent of the Pyrumld. which has a belli v. are charter, on advice of Pyramid officers, aho refused, Lee says.

One of the main charges of the stockholders is that they bounht on representations of agents that money would be invested only in first mortgages on one and two-iamily houses and then only up to 50 percent of the property value, the mortffages to be retired In one to tlx years. Lee alleges that the ompany actually invested in second and third mortgage issues and "uv a carefully disguised scheme throueh operation of dictatorial control of corporate entitles, money was wrongfully taken from I'lcsid'ni Files Denial.
