GRATUITIES GIVEN 10 COURT BAILIFF Utah Lead Case Lawyer Ad- mits Tipping in Grand Jury Testimony. { | | By the Associated Prees. ‘ NEW YORK, March 29.—Grand jury | testimony, in which Arthur N. Sager, | one of the Utah lead case defense law- | yers on trial for jury bribery, admitted | glving gratuities to court bailiffs, was | read into the records yesterday in Fed- | eral Court. Sager, with Joseph Shalleck and Ed- ward Reynoids, is charged with pay- John Cruz, a_juror, to hold out for acquittal in the Utah lead mail fraud case which ended in a mistrial. Cruz| has admitted accepting a bribe. In his testimony before the ury Sager said that Charles Beadon, one of the eight defendants in the mail fraud case, had given him $200 to use as “expense money” during the trial He said it was customary in the Federal Building for attorneys to tip bailiffs and court attendants, because their “friendly attitude was often help- ful” He said that he paid out $65 or $70 in gratuities during the Utah lead trial, $5 of which he gave to a bailiff to take Cruz home the day that the Juror was taken ill. In return for the gratuities, Sager said, he expected to get “any legiti- mate information” and also pick up any corridor gossip on the deliberation of the jury. He said he stopped tipping the court attendants when “certain rumors” started during the trial. Explaining his statement that he| gave a bailiff $5, Sager told the grand jury, “I gave the bailiff $5 to take that poor devil home and get him some soup, and I didn't think any more about it." Former Senator George H. Willlams of Missouri and A. C. Van Winkle, an attorney of Louisville, Ky., testified to- day as character witnesses for Sager. ‘Williams said he had known him for grand | THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, ||| me about coloring her Group of choir girls at St. James’ Church in New York City are being instructed in rudiments of parachute jumping by Billy Bomar, above.

We have discontinued ‘a number of our Southern branches, from the stocks of which many of these instruments have been select- ed. We have also leased a portion of our store to the well known firm of Witt & Hamill. As a consequence our floors are crowded to their capacity. Instead of storing these pianos to depreciate in value we have priced every instrument at greatly reduced figures and any one contemplating the purchase of a piano in the next few months cannot afford to miss the opportunity. All pianos not sold outright we are anxious to place in the homes of families who are interested in owning a piano in the immediate future, and for the valuable ad- vertising we will receive by having good families use them. We, of gourse, reserve the right to select homes in which the pianos are to e loaned. Positively No Charge for Anything ‘We ask no drayage or charge of any kind on pianos so loaned.
