ARGUMENT ENDED IN THEATER TRIAL Knickerbocker Men’s Attor- ney will Reply o Prosecutors. “I bope I shall never live to see the day when any court will declare as a matter of law that, on the facts of this case, there was no criminal re- sponsibility.”” With this statement Assistant United States Attorney O'Leary today concluded before Jus- tice Siddons In Criminal Division 2 his argument in defense of the in- dictment which charges five men with manslaughter in connection with the death of ninety-seven patrons of the Knickerbocker Theater, caused by the fall of the roof of the building’ Jan- uary 28 last. Mr. O'Leary and United States At- torncy Gordon completed the govern- ment’s side of the argument today. Each of the counsel for the five ac- cused men will be given an oppor- tunity to reply to the arguments of the prosecutors. Rererring to the claim of the de fendants that if the indictment is sus. tained it will have the effect of stop ping building operations in this Dis trict, Mr. O’Leary sald: “I cannot believe that builders gen- erally in this District are guilty of the gross negligence admitted by this demurrer, but what defendants’ counsel say is true, then it is high time that a stop be put to building operations which ignore the very purpose for which governments are ordained and established, namely, I‘lhe‘ security of the llves of the pub- Time to Break Precedent. Commenting upon the statement of counsel for the accused that no sith indictment had ever before been pre- sented Mr. O'Leary said: “If this be true, now Is the time, here is the place and this is the court to proclaim to the world that the law which is far-reaching enough to convict a poor devil who steals that his babes may eat, to convict a poor drug addict who violates the law to appease his craving, to send to the workhouse a thirsty man who carries a gill of whisky in his pocket, is far- reaching enough to subject to crimi- nal responsibility men in higher places who put up flimsy structures with an indifferent regard to the con- sequences.” ReTerring to the statement that Maj. Gordon is the first district at- torney to have the temerity to secure such an indictment, Mr, O'Leary de- clared: n the first place, the #ndictment was returned, not by Maj. Gordon, but There’s a Surprise Awaiting You —if you have never sampled - G. & G. Ginger Ale - The taste is captivating, the sparkle pleasingly exhilarating and refreshing.

Gordon, In_his argument, distinguished the Aing case, growing out of the Ford_The: disaster and upon which the defendants place much reliance for thelr_pppotltion to the indictment. He pointed “out that the indictment in that_case differs in many substantial pasticnlars from the indictment in the AKalckerbocker case. In reply to the ment that there was a misjoinder parties and offenses, Maj. Gordon sinted out that the defendants had ined in a gigantic enterprise, which of necessity required the co-operation of many persons, and called attention to_the provision of the code that all aiders and abbetters in the commission of a crime should be charged as princi- pals and that the indictment so charge: Concerning_the point of the de fense that at the time of the dis- aster the building was under the con- trol of persons other than the defend- ants, Maj. Gordon declared: “That may be true, but there is nothing to show that such persons did anything _that would affect the structural sufficiency or insufficiency of the building. The indictment charges but one cause of the dis-! laster—a dangerous condition caused !by the defendants, known to the de- fondants, of which the defendants failed to warn the public.

By the Associated Press. The principles of a Tacna-Arica arbitration formula finally accepted by both sides, the Chilean and Peru- vian delegates to the Washington conference today turned their atten- tion to collaterial decisions which are necessary to complete their agreement. & One of the subjects yet to be finally passed upon was the exact wording of the formula, but no one on either delegation looked forward to much discussion over_phraseology. It was indicated, in fact, that in their informal discussions the plenipoten- tiaries already had given coneiderable attention to that point and had estab- lished a clear understanding of the torm to be adopted. > - Steps to complete formally the agreement as t the substance of the formula were taken during the day by Chilean Ambassador Mathieu, who had an appointment to see Secretary Hughes and accept on behalf of the Chilean government the final terms of the compromise agreement. These terms included a provision for an exercise of American “good offices” for ‘a settlement in case no plebi- scite is held In the disputed territory. Joint Meeting Tomerrow. Meantime others in the Chilean and Peruvian groups were at work on other minor points remaining at is- sue, and it was planned to hold a joint meeting of the two delegations tomorrow to begin preparation of the protocol which is to embody the- con- ference results. Most. predictions in conference circles were that a week or ten days more would be required lodhrlng the negotiations finally to an end. 3 s The arbitration agreement, assured late Saturday, when Chile accepted the American compromise proposal as modified at the request of Peru, was hailed by the plenipotentiaries of both governments last night as a long forward step in Latin American amity. By removing an irritation which " has _ estranged Santiago and Lima for the past forty years, the settlement was regarded among Chileans and Peruvians alike as meaning not only a new Chilean- Peruvian accord, but as exercising a beneficent influence that will be felt throughout the length and breadth of South America. By officials of the United.States, who will act as arbitrators under the agreement and «later, under (certain contingencles, will ‘exercise “good offices” In insuring & final and com- plete fapprochement, the result of the negotiations here was character- ized as another victory for the “‘con- ference plan” of international nego- tiations and as a further evidence of the disinterested manner in which the Washington government is striv. ing for .peacé\ and understanding among the American republics. Both Ambassador Mathieu and Dr. Meliton Porras, head of the Peruvian delegation, expressed in emphatic terms their gratification that the principal lssue in the Washington negotiations ‘has been solved satis- factorily. Both declared the result would be & new day in Chilean-Peru- vian relations, and both praised the part taken by the United States in bringing the two delegations to- gether. Chile Proves Sineerity. Mr. Mathieu emphasized that in her final acceptance Chile had shown her ——eeeee LEGAL BATTLE STAGED. Hearing Thursday on Sale of Liquor on U. S. Ships.
