CITY GIVES UP FIGHT IN COURT TO KEEP BROWNSVILLE BUSES Throng of 300 Amazed as Corporation Counsel Agrees to Permanent Writ. In the presence of a delegation of 300 and women from Brownsville which jammed its way into Special Term, Part of the Supreme today, the Corporation Counsel Court, Justice James C. Cropsey that the city officials had no opposition to the motion made by the B.

R. T. for a continuance of the injunction which stopped the bus line that had been operated on Eastern Parkway and Utica ave. and the city line. Amazed and apparently stunned by the desertion of "their interests" by the city's lawyer, the men and women looked at each other, a hum of whispering arose and they flocked silently out of the room.

Persons in this sizable delegation when questioned said that they had been to come to the court room to "uphold the hands of the city officials the fight for the bus line for the people." They came to give visible moral support to what they expected would be a hot legal battle on the part of the city lawyers to have the injunction knocked right out and the busses restored at once. Delegation Is Surprised. "What is this?" demanded one emphatic woman. "The city officials didn't even tight for the bus line. We were told that our presence would impress the Court with the idea that we wanted the bus line and all we heard was a confession that the city officials were wrong all the time.

Now we lost all this thime from our work and we don't get the bus line, anyway." Assistant Corporation Counsel Mayer made an early effort to slide silently out of the situation on the call of the calendar. Harold L. Warner of the B. R. T.

legal staff answered that he was ready to proceed with his plea for a continuance of the injunction signed Friday by Justice John MacCrate. Mr. Mayer spoke, but not loudly: "In view of the Appellate Division decision in the Huff case (concerning the Long Island City bus line) I want to file this affidavit by Commissioner Grover Whalen saying that the bus line was discontinued when the injunction order was served on him and that we will not operate the line." "You don't want to disappoint all these people by admitting are you wrong. do, you?" queried Justice Cropsey, showing his Arst known sign of amazement. "They have brought you are wrong get under cover when half of Brownsville down a here and if you admit you are wrong.

don't know the meaning of your statement, so I will mark the motion call it in turn." and No Opposition By City. When it was reached for Mr. similar Warner said this case was exactly argument to that of the Brooklyn City, Justice Railroad Cropsey against Whalen, in which knocked out all the the street railroads about two bus lines in Brooklyn that paralleled ago and in which he was upheld by years the Appellate Division and the Court of Appeals. don't oppose this motion," said "We have Corporation Counsel Mayer. Assistant stopped the busses.

I only want to Ale this affidavit by Mr. Whalen." "The motion is granted," said Justice Cropsey, "and I will impose $50 costs to be paid by the individual defendants, and not out of the city treasury." This means that Mayor John F. Hylan and Commissioner of Plants Grover Whalen will have to chip in from their own personal pockets to pay the costs.

I would like to put in her coffin my husband's photograph which she liked so much to carry in her locket. My son Morris did not know I was going to kill her.

"Eight years ago, before my father died, I gave my sister the best I had. Then she stole my husband. Two years ago he left me. For a short time he paid for my gas, rent and food, but then stopped payment even for these. I sued him for separation because I did not want him to have a divorce.

A divorce would have been too easy for him. That would have given him the chance to marry my sister and get away with it. "I have told my husband repeatedly that he could have any other woman lie wanted and I would not be jealous but that she should leave my own flesh and blood alone." Telling of the actual shooting she said: "Bertha was standing in her nightgown. We argued for a few moments and then I drew a revolver and gave her one.

APPELLATE TERM TO DECIDE ODD MIXUP OVER JURY TRIAL IN RIEGELMAN CASE Appeal on the unusual error alleged to have been committed Municipal Court Justice Strahl in falling to give the ouster action brought by Dr. Laura Riegelman against her tenant, Mrs. Elizabeth Nugent, of 179 Taylor to a jury for decision will be decided by Appellate Term in October, following the granting of a temporary stay yesterday by Justice Cropsey.

Justice Strahl understood that attorney for both sides asked for the judgment of the court, whereas H. Wilford Leavy, counsel for Mrs. Nugent, asked a jury trial. Justice Strahl himself decided against Mrs. Nugent.

Dr. Riegelman claims that she notifled Mrs. Nugent the Arst week of February that she wished the quarters on May 1 for her own use, thus giving Mrs. Nugent three months' notice. "Mrs.

Nugent has never, during the ten years she occupied the house, had to pay more than $25 a month," she said, "and although I was offered $50 or $60 a month for it I permitted V.rs. Nugent to remain. The reason Mrs. Nugent cannot find another place is that she is looking for one as low. priced as the one she has.

Naturally she cannot find one with the same good situation for that money." COURT RULES SEARCH FOR LIQUOR ILLEGAL Judge McMahon Bars Evidence Obtained Without Warrant. Judge J. Grattan MacMahon today decided that the District Attorney has no right thane evidence of a violation of the law against a defendant if the evidence had been obtained in a search and seizure without a warrant. He said today that he would sign an order enjoining District Attorney Ruston from using as evidence three pint bottles of whisky which were seized on the premises 345 Van Siclen in order to obtain ar. indictment against Paul Galbo, a barber.

This decision of the court will have a wide reaching effect on the enforcement of Prohibition in New York State, according to John I. Lee of the Appeals Bureau of the District Attortion for the restraining order. "This ney's office, who opposed the applicameans that police will be unable to enforce the Mullan-Gage law," said Lee. The ruling of the Court grew out of the application by former Senator Charles E. Russell, attorney for Galbo, for an order instructing the District Attorney to show cause why he should not be enjoined from using as evidence the three bottles of whisky found in the barbershop and he should not be compelled to return the whisky.

Judge Alonzo G. McLaughlin signed the order two days ago and made it returnable before Judge MacMahon today. Senator Russell argued that the constitutional rights of his client had been violated in the seizure of the liquor and that they would be further violated if the District Attorney were permitted to use it against him as evidence upon which to base an indictment or prosecute a trial.

At 10:80 o'clock his parents told David they were going out on the street in front of the house and cautioned him not to let any one in without asking who was there. Everything went along fine until David heard a knock on the door. there?" he asked. He put the question twice without a reply in return. and became frightened.

He turned to a window to gaze at a form on the fire escape. David let out a warwhoop that roused the entire neigh borhood. He climbed out on a. narrow ledge above the street and crouched in terror. Neighbors threw up their windows and called "Fire!" and "Police!" David was more frightened when Engine Companies Nos.

L. Kohler, secretary of the Board of Health. called as a witness in the trial of Albert J. Bradicich, the fumigator on trial for manslaughter in the second degree for the deaths of Mr. and Mrs.

Freemont M. Jackson in the Hotel Margaret Annex on April 25, brought out the possibility today that Bradicich had never been notified of the passage of A city ordinance controlling the use of cyanogen in fumigating. Stanley Fowler, appearing a8 attorney for the defendant, questioned Kohler at length concerning the exact methods used in notifying fumigators of the city that permits must be obtained for the use of cyanogen. His cross-examination pointed to a new line in the defense of Bradicich. Mr.

Fowler recalled Dr. Alexander 0. Gettler, city toxicologist, who had previously testified to having found cyanogen in the lungs of the Jacksons. He brought out that Gettler was not a graduate of a medical college 3 or licensed as a practicing physician. Assistant District Attorney Gallagher, however, drew from the witness that he had several degrees and was a teacher of chemistry in New York City College.

Dr. Gettler testified today that he had found .04 grams of poison to 100 grams of lung tissue examined. His previous testimony was that only .001 of a gram had been found. In changing his testimony he explained that his error last week had been due to haste. denied under cross-examination thile decomposing lung tissue could generate cyanogen, although under cross -examination by Mr.

Fowler, when he was previously placed on the stand, he admitted that cyanogen might be generated by decomposition. After a strenuous objection by Mr. luttion of the Board of Health luttion of the Board rf Health relative to the ordinance governing the use of hydrocyanic acid for fumigating, which had been offered in evidence by Mr. Gallagher. It was not until C.

L. Kohler, secretary of the Board of Health, was placed on the witness stand and had testified that the resolution had been adopted at A meeting of the Board of Health that a copy was finally admitted. Mr. Fowler's objection to the introCuction of the resolution was mittedly a ruse to get Kohler on the witness stand. His cross -examination ot Kohler pointed to a new move in the defense when he drew a from the witness the fact that the names of the fumigators notified of the passage of sanitary code ordinance restraining them in the use of cyanogen nad been obtained from the telephone book and newspaper advertisements.

The witness could not state positively that Brodicich had been notified. MISS WAGNER PUTS MISS GROVE OUT OF TENNIS TOURNEL By ALLISON DANZIG. (Staff Correspondent of The Eagle.)

Miss Grove staged -hack in the new two. which she took through severe stroking and acumen in picking her openings.

Dangerous grade crossings between Hollis and Queens on the Long Island Railroad are to be eliminated without further delay, according to a communication received today by the Transit Commission from C.

L. Addison, assistant to President Peters. The commission was inforced that at a recent meeting of the directors of the Long Island Railroad Company an appropriation upward of $1,000,000 was voted to cover the expense of the Improvement. One-third of the cost, estimated at $1,500,000, will be borne Jointly by the city and the State of New York, according to the law. Work 1s to be begun early in the fall and will go on in connection with the fourtracking of the main line between Jamaica and Queens: The Long Island Railroad, it was said at office of the commission, is faced with the early necessity of making many more very expensive improvements, particularly the elimination of other existing grade crossings and carrying new streets across its tracks.

In view the to increase track facilities a east of Jacompany's proposal maica, the Commission feels that the elimination of the four crossings in question is most important at this time and should be given Arst attention. The road is already third-tracked for most of the distance between Jamaica and Queens and four-tracked for a part of the way. The added capacity provided by the completion of four-tracking, however, will assist materially in handling the traffic, particularly the local train traffic between Queens and Jamaica, and Brooklyn, it was said. The grade crossing improvement will result in the railroad being carried upon an embankment over five streets, in order from west to east, as follows: Bonnett or Baylis Hempstead and Jamaica Turnpike, Wortland Creed ave. and Madison ave.

Of these streets the Hempstead and Jamaica Turnpike is much used by vehicular traffic, and in addition, carries the tracks of the trolley line to Mineola. which is single-tracked across the railroad right-of-way. The removal. of the railroad from grade will make possible the double tracking of the trolley line at this point, and will result there in an improvement of traffic, the Commissioner belleves. L.

Factory Sales Branch: 1127 Atlantic Avenue Brooklyn. The Standard Motor Car Co. Pittsburgh, Pa. JOHN GOLDEN IS ONE STROKE UNDER BARNES AT SHAWNEE Third Round Finds Tuxedo Pro Doing Splendidly Score for 54 Holes Is 218. By GEORGE TREVOR.

(Staff Correspondent of The Eagle.) Shawnee on the Delaware, July 27-Shooting confidently from behind his all too slim margin of two strokes, young Johnny Golden, the consistent Tuxedo homebred, started with a run of 2 under par for the first five holes of his match with his relentless pursuer, Long Jim Barnes of Pelham, in the final 36 holes' of the open golf tournament for the Shawnee Shield today. Golden shot the five holes in 18 strokes, getting a bird 3 on the difAcult second hole and a sensational eagle 3 on the long third hole, 461 yards. Barnes needed 19 strokes to negotiate the same distance, so that Golden had Increased his lead by, one stroke and was leading the field by a margin of 3. Barnes had a fine birdie on the 359-yard fourth, Two strokes are a lot sometimes, but not when you have a carefree chap like Barnes on your heels who is more apt to be under than over 75. But if Johnny Golden was under any strain as leadoff this morning he failed to show any signs of it.

John is quiet and unassuming. He impresses us 88 the kind of a man who cannot be frightened by his opponent's reputation. You've got to shoot par golf to worry Golden, but that's what Barnes proceeded to do. They both had fives on the first, as result of three puts apiece. The greens had become a bit heavy over night.
