TRIAL IS EXPECTED i% TO END ON THURSDAY Mefense Probably Will Take Two More Days in Presentation | of Tts Testimony. Capt. Guy FE. Burlingame: will relafe | this own version of his relations with Mr¢. Helen F. Blalock. which he has &0 - secretly guarded ever since 'hf‘ paimist’s accusations were made public. when his trial is resumed Tuesday 'mnn;ina before the extraordinary trial ard. Wilitlam E. Leahy, the veteran police nfficer’s chief counsel. announced today | that he had decided to put him on the witness stand in his own defense as #oon as the trial board convenes at 10 ®'clock Tues¢ay morning. Although Leahy has summoned ap- Proximately 20 witnesses, he bas reached the conclusion that he can make the defense case more effective by letting Rurlingame tell his story, and then wall upon the witnesses to support it. Names Not Disclosed. | Leahy did not disclose the names of | 4he witnesses. but some of them are | anderstood to be policemen attached to | Mhe sedohd precinct, which Burlingame | «<ommanded, who are id to have knowledge of Mrs. Blalock's visits to the | +captain’s office and the purpose for | which she came. One of Mrs. Blalock's | twn sisters, whom she endeavored to| Jkegep out of the case. also may be called s a witness for the defense. | The defense is expected to complete | the presentation of its case in two more | days, . which. probably - will bring. the | trial to a close before the end of next ‘week. The summing-up arguments, it is believed, will not take more than one day, so that it appears likely now that the trial will end Thursday. o The trial board’s recess over the week end and Inauguration day was pleas- ing. it was said. to police officials, who were particlarly anxious to get the { the front pages of the news- papers” while the inaugural visitors are in Washington. From the very outset of the case Bur- Hdingame has maintained a policy of ‘strict silence. He has said. however, #that he had a story to tell which would ‘ghow. that his relations with Mrs. Bla- idock were “open and above board.” i !Indications of what Burlingame's de- ifense_likely will be have been dropped #into the record of the trial board p: lings from time to time by Chief Defense Counsel Leahy. but Burlingame 1is expected to embellish this consider- iably ‘whe n he takes the stand.

TILLMAN'S TRIAL SEPARATES TWIN SISTERS Gtanted by Chief Justice' McCoy in Alleged Forgery and Drug Violation Case, Mrs. Vivian Lee Tillman. who with her sister, Mrs. Stanley Horner, was ingicted for forgery and uttering of narcotic prescriptions December 30, 1927, ftodav was granted a separate trial by Chief Justice McCoy on motion of her counsel, Deniel S, Ring and Harvey L. Cobb. Mrs, Horner is scheduled to go to trial Wednesday. A continuance was asked. howe by her counsel, Milton King and John H. Burnett, on the plea that Motion of Counsel is a material ‘witness and is' now in Reno establishing a residence on which 1o obtain a divorce. A subpoena was asked to bring Horner back to testify at his wife's trial.

Encouraged by the favorable indica- tions that have come from the White | House, ieaders in and out of Congress who have led the long fight for liber- alizing the retirement features under the civil service were confident today that President. Coolidge would . sign the Dale-Lehlbach bill, which increases the retirement pay of Federal employes and further improves the conditions |of retirement. ‘ Although the bill has not yet reached | the President’s hands, it was said at | the White House that he would give it a particular study. Even though the measure does not harmonize with the recommendations for retirement legis- lation contained in the President's mes- sage, it was said that the President realizes Congress had his suggestions before it while the legislation was in !the process of enactment. Despite his own objections to many of the fea- tures of the bill, it was indicated that so far as the President is concerned, the judgment of Congress on the leg- islation will have considerable weight | with him. Under the Dale-Lehlbach bill the maximum annuity is increased from ! $1,000°t0 $1,200 a year. Provision also is made for optional retiremenis after 30 years’ service, two years earlier than at | present. Opposition of President Coolidge pre- | vented passage of liberalized retirement legislation at the last session, although |1t had been given a favorable place on the calendar in the House. The rules committee blocked action on it. At the beginning of the present session of Con- gress the bill had passed the Senate and was on the House calendar. “LONE WOLF” RESIGNS [FROM POLICE FORCE Morton A.
