Burton B.

Turkus and Irwin Wil-pon, 'torneys for Shields, came prepared to argue on 36 points of alleged errors at the trial. Halts Argument After Turkus had argued his first point, that the State had failed to prove that Shields knew insurance was carried on the building at 282 Kings Highway, which was fired. Justice Bonyr.se declared: "Nevei mind arguing the oter points. I wii; ear the District Attorney." As.ssitant District Attorney Ralph Jacobs, who prosecuted Shields and other alleged members of the Brooklyn arson ring, contended that it could readily be inferred from the facts and from general knowledge that Shields "knew that 99 percent of the buildings in the city are insured and that therefor he should know the building named in the indictment as having been fired was insured." Justice Bonynge overruled a preliminary objection raised the District Attorney to the effect that a motion for a certificate could be made only before Judge Taylor, who presided at the trial. Decision was reserved.

Albany, April 26 Governor Lehman today summoned Democratic leaders of the Legislature intocon-frr-nce in an effort to revive the D'viiond mortgage authority bill, which was defeated in the Senate at 2 o'clock this morning' by a vote of 21 to 26. "I am deeply disappointed over the defeat of the bill," he said. "It represented the outgrowth of nr-nths of work by the Moreland act commissioner and others. I certainly Intend to talk to the legislative leaders about this." To Hear Objectors The Governor said also he would give everyone interested an opportunity to express his views on the bill of Senator Duncan T.

O'Brien, Manhattan Democrat, which permits reorganization of title and guarantee companies after a majority of the creditors have approved a pirn. Informed that the Superintendent of Insurance is opposed to the O'Brien bill, which was slipped through the Legislature last week, the Governor said: "That will be taken into consideration." The Desmond bill embodies the principles of the Cook-Alger plan for reorganizing mortgage companies, improving the real estate market and aiding Investors. The vote that defeated the bill was not along party lines. Seeks Veto Senator Thomas C. Desmond, Republican of Newburgh, said today he would formally request Governor Lehman to veto the bill of Senator O'Brien.

Under terms of the bill, which has passed both houses, the Superintendent of Insurance or 5 percent of the principal amount of creditors of ajv title company, may promulgate a plan of reorganization. If a majority of the creditors approve the plan, it becomes binding. All creditors are given 30 days In which to oppose or approve whatever scheme Is put forth. Senator Desmond's decision to intervene with the Governor was made public by him following defeat of his tortl. "The O'Brien bill looks to me as If had been drafted by someone close to the title and guarantee companies," said Desmond.

"I think it fair to say the bill pays more attention to the' stockholders of these companies than to the public."

The party arrived at the hotel grill room at 10 p.m., and there was no evidence until the shot rang out that the two coupler were in a mood for anything but a celebration. They popped corks, emptied two champagne bottles and danced, and appeared reluctant to leave after the orchestra had played its finale and the other guests had departed. Then Miss Meehan, to whom Monahan had been engaged since la.st October, and Miss Martin left the table to get their cloaks. The two policemen chatted together until they returned, when McKenna arose to meet them.

Without Warning Then, without a word of warning. Monahan walked a few steps Into the foyer, pulled out his service revolver and pulled the trigger against his temple. Monahan had been on the force for five years and had an excellent record. McKenna had been In uniform a similar length of time and his record was also spotless. McKenna later in the morning, after being examined by a police surgeon, was pronounced unfit for duty and was suspended by Third Deputy Commissioner John Leach.

P. Chief Silver Holder Continued from Page 1 been unable to obtain full Information. He suggested a "further inquiry." Chairman Fietcher withheld the list from publication pending a meeting of his committee tomorrow.

Even before Fletcher had received the list, Senator Robinson, the Democratic leader, said on the Senate floor that it should be sent direct to the Senate instead of to the committee. Morgenthau's Letter Morgenthau's letter to Fletcher accompanying the list follows: "I have hitherto transmitted to the secretary of the Senate a list of the indicated holders of 'spot' silver and silver futures as of Jan. 31, 1934, as to which holders information appeared to be complete. "In the course of the inquiry the names of certain other persons and firms appeared as owners of 'spot' silver and silver futures as. of Jan.

31. 1934, but in these cases the information is not complete. Further Investigation would be required to conclude the inquiry in many of these cuses. Further Action Up to Senate "In view of the fact that considerable difficulty has been experienced in getting the necessary information in a number of cases, the Treasury Department does not have the facilities to carry the matter further. "Accordingly, I am sending to you this list for such further attention as you may deem warranted.

"There is not included In the attached list any reference to holders of less than 50.000 ounces of 'spot' silver or of less than two futures contracts. Because such small holders were very numerous, no systems lc attempt was made to obtain complete information with reference to them.

Lester M. Lehrenkrauss in the defunct copartnership of J. Lehrenkrauss Sons and as such are equally liable ior an or lta debts. Richter and Kaiser were named only as special partners, having a limited liability, in an involuntary bankruptcy petition filed last December against the co-partnership, which was generally known as the House of Lehrenkrauss. Consented to Bankruptcy As special partners the pair consented with the others to adjudication of the partnership as bankrupt.

Subsequently, when Archibald Palmer, creditors' attorney, sought to seize their property, they claimed first that they had not been liable for any co-partnership debts, then that the co-partnership was bankrupt if they were legally full partners at the time of the filing of the bankruptcy petition. Examining the pair before Special Commissioner Louis R. Bick several weeks ago, Palmer adduced testimony from Kaiser to the effect that he possessed assets worth approximately $2,000, while Richter testified his assets, representing equities in real estate, amounted to some $50,000. These assets will now be taken over for the benefit of the thousands of creditors of the House of Lehrenkrauss. The various proceedings to date in the Lehrenkrauss litigation have revealed that the co-partnership, according to its own books, has direct liabilities of $3,348,638.91 and contingent liabilities, represented by guaranties of mortgages and participations and repurchase agreements, of $29,671,439.29.

The books purport to show assets slightly In excess of $4,000,000. As a result of proof submitted In obtaining today's ruling. Referee Stitt hold that "at the time of the filing of the bankruptcy petition the co-partnership was insolvent to the extent of at least $701,339.11, but no attempt was made to establish the full extent of the insolvency because of the expense to the estate that would have entailed."
