He ac to frame him up, because he had dis- covered that Harvey was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, in one of its camouflaged forms, called the American Krusader Bi-partisan Clique. Harvey says that when all the facts are known, it will show that a {group of republican and democratic leaders in the boro are smeared with the case. He named _ especially Joseph De Bragga, republican boss, Maurice Connolly, convicted demo- cratic former president of the boro, and Harry ‘tiles, Fourth As- sembly Distr bo Stiles has a different version. He appeared at the grand jury rooms to testify, and while «waiting his turn commented as follows, about Harv ) “Monumental Liar.” “A monumental liar, a colossal faker and a man insane over pub-| licity,” he called the borough presi- dent, It’was Mr. Harvey’s assertion that Frank H. Berg, Jr., private detec- {tive and intimate of politicians, was present when the bribe was offered, that angered Mr. Stiles. “Harvey called me into his office just after his election and asked me to assist him in framing Berg,” he said. “They had fallen out over campaign funds. The idea was to frame him over this very bribery charge. “Harvey made it all up as he sat there in his chair and he wanted me to go to the District Attorney’s of- fice with him.” | Harvey in turn said that Stiles was lying. An Easy Sentence. Apparently enough evidence is un- | covered in this quarrel to get indict- ments, perhaps convictions, of sev- eral highly placed public officials | But convictions doesn’t mean much ‘when $5,000,000 has been stolen, Connolly was convicted months ago, and has served only one day. While out on appeal he was given permis- |sion to make a trip to Europe, ‘Long Island Party | in Dance Saturday An entertainment and dance has been arranged by Section 9, Long Island, of the Workers (Communist) Party for this Saturday evening at Fessler’s Dance Hall, on the corner of Steinway and Woolsey Ayes., Astoria, L.
