Dunne in Supreme Court by way of answering a new attack launched against the concern by Thomas F. F.

Lee, 16 Court as 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 accountant finecom. the records of the company, so they may determine whether the company has violated its promises to the stockholders 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 and did not make the application in good faith.

Operator Supplied List. Besides setting forth documentary evidence the Pyramid Company presents an affidavit by Florence Namara, a telephone operator formerly in its employ, who swears that one Ned Rankin, in Lee's behalf, bribed her an offer of $100 to steal a list of the stockholders. In her affidavit and in a statement she has made also to Assistant District Attorney Kopff, 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 Attorney's office, she swore, Lee accomsay the check was for a panied here there and tolekberote in 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 an effort. to collect 1 percent 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 present Pyramid officers and directors the Pyramid and that he promised in writing over his own signatures to pay them 15 percent of all they brought Affidavits by Dominick Saladino and Pasquale Caracciolo 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. Tibbetts, president of the Pyramid, in his own affidavit directly lays the blame at the door the American Home Foundation.

He alleges that that company about year ago sought a contract to handle all the money of the Pyramid and subordinate and associated companies, with a guarantee of 10 percent net to the he Pyramid, and that its offer was rejected. Lee Charges Mismanagement. The legal papers for the compelling order served by Lee on the officers of the Pyramid company bore the name of Peter Knoetgen of MidVillage, chief petitioner, but Mr. Knoetgen declined honor the appeared on the order calendar with Martin Rehe, 702 Forest Glendale, as chief petitioner. Lee himself has a long affidavit, setting forth his ideas to the charges of "mismanagement" that presents.

He is seeking with aid his proposed examination to protect stockholders' interests. He says the present outstanding capitalization consists of 225,973 shares of $20 par value preferred stock; 106,463 shares of no par class A common and 200.000 class common. The preferred and class A stocks are in the hands the public. He alleges that both Rehe and Knoetgen, who own 432 of preferred and 132 common appeared at the company's offices Oct. and demanded the right to inspect the books.

This demand was refused and continues to be refused. The Colonial Charter pany of Delaware, transfer agent the Pyramid, which has a Deleware charter, on advice of Pyramid officers, also refused, Lee says. One of the main charges of the stockholders is that they bought on representations agents that money would be invested only in Arst mortgages on one and twofamily houses and then only up to 50 percent of the property value, the mortgages to be retired in one to six years. Lee alleges that the company actually invested in second and third mortgage issues and a carefully disguised scheme through operation of dictatorial control of corporate entities, was wrongfully taken from stockholders." President Files Denial. It also charged by Lee that Tibbetts, Helder and Burke organ1zed the Mortgage Thrift Sales Corporation, with six shares of stock, held by these three, that and this company got 200,000 shares Pyramid Mortgage Company stock which the the of three got benefit of compensation for sales promotion work.

Lee concludes with proposal that the Pyramid should be reorganized. Answering these allegations, Tib. betts declared that the books and records of the Pyramid Company are open with an honest moto tive and that refusal to inspect directed against Lee and any one associated with him. He declared that several stockholders who had become alarmed by "campaign" had been given access, looked over the books and since taken part in action.

I say now, however, that if any reporter follows any other juror and subjects him or me to any more annoyance, that reporter and his paper will be dealt with." 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 Riker'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. Harman 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. 93d st. took his place. Many Talesmen Excused.

Moss very firmly had an opinion on the guilt or innocence of Mca Manus, and as he left the box was chastised by Judge Nott, who took him off the blue ribbon panel and sen him to the regular panel. Then Livingston Frun, a Bay Shore, L. I. man, was excused because he now lives in Queens. William H.

Newell, who lives in White Plains, was also excused. "I have got quite a prejudice against gamblers and piped in Mancius Hutton of 20 5th aye. in a shrill voice when he was called. So out went Mr. Hutton, to the amusement of everyone.

Because of technical mistrial, the jury was and the trial started again. Judge Nott is determined that new testimony be offered tomorrow.

If he does what promised, ewill made the whole show appear tonight to get te old testimony into the record. Meanwhile all sorts of reports, one of which was of utmost importance. kept cropping up out of nowhere. It has been said, indeed it was said last Saturday, that the police of New York arrested a man on Bushwick ave. -he was supposed to have been in an apartment there--and that they have hidden him to spring as a surprise witness on the defense 111 this case.

Banton has denied the report, so has Police Commissioner Whalen, yet it still persists. Even the man's name is given--and the name is one that figured in the early stages of the Rothstein investiga- tion. Arrest Much in Doubt, However, there is no one who will admit that any such arrest has peen made. There is no one confined-at least under the name given- in Raymond st. jail, the Tombs or in the Bronx county jail.

Another report had it that Murray has found something startling in the condition. of the revolver which to have shot Rothstein. What something 15, Murray wouldn't tell, but it 15 known that Albert M. Hamilton, 8 small arms expert who will appear for the defense, has made a minute examination of the revolver. Brothers admitted this morning that Ruth Keyes, the wife of a Chicago brakeman, do who was in the Park Central Hotel the night of the murder, would not testify at the trial.

recalled During Ruth the was investigation, described as it a "most important" witness by Banton, so important that he tried keep her hidden retro public view while she was here. Indeed, he said of the case but now she has she was one of the big pivot points 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 a smiling concession on that point, there is no need for Ruth to come to New York. PLAN TO RAZE ENTIRE LENGTH OF FULTON "L' Continued from Page 1.

This has been met by the Board of Transporta: tion's so timing its contracts that the eastern end of the line---not yet under contract-will be ready as soon as the western part. In view of this no provision at all is being made for any ramp leading, even temporarily, from the end of the rebuilt Fulton elevated into the subway at Nostrand ave. This would require purchase of private property, thereby adding unnecessary expense. Instead the Board of Transportation is devoting its efforts rushing through the contracts on the eastern end and arranging for the direct with the Liberty ave.

Student Flier in Wreck As License Test Ends To Emile Kunz of Rye, N. who took his Department of Commerce tests for a private pilot's license last week, tough luck is a close relative. Planning to leave Mexico after finishing his sts, Kunz flew down from Bedford, N. to Roosevelt Field with Bert Moore, his instructor, in an Eaglerock biplane in which he had received his training.

Before the examining eyes of dpartment he took off solo in the plane and, after going through several maneuvers which the department requires, put his plane into a glide for a landing. He was coming in like a transport pilot and it appeared as though his license was cinched when he failed to observe a deep cut in a mound, with the result that on touching the ground he. completely wiped out his landing gear, damaged one wing and bent the prop. Unhurt, except for his feelings, Kunz postponed all further tests indefinitely and, it is understood, his trip to Mexico also. Four Leap 6,200 Feet After Balloon Explodes Tuttle, Nov.
