LEWIS ADMITS PAY ONBOSCH PROTEST Case in Libel Suit Is Rested, With Plaintiff Denying Dual Employment. | By the Associated Press. ROCHESTER, N. Y., December §.— After & day of severe cross-examina- tion, Merton E. Lewis, former State attorney general, rested his case yes- terday in the $250,000 libel suit he has | brought against the Chemical Founda- tion, Inc, and Francis P. Garvan, its president. In the course of the cross-examina- tion, under questioning by Joseph H. Choate, jr., attorney for the defendants, Lewis admitted that he had been em- ployed by Otto Heins, German man- ager of the Bosch Magneto Co., to draw up a complainl against A. Mitchell Palmer, former alien property . custo- | dian, and Mr. Garvin, based on the Bosch Magneto' salée 10 the Chemical Foundation after the Bosch company stock had been seized by the United Btates Government. However, Mr. Lewis testified, he withdrew from the action before the camplaint, charging Palmer and Gar- van with fraud and conspiracy in thelr seizure of the stock and sale of the stock was served and before he be- came special counsel to the attorney general in an action to recover $5,000,- 000 instituted by the United States Government for alleged fraud and con- spiracy in the sale of the assets of the Bosch Magneto Co. | Detalls of the Senate Judiciary Sub- committee hearing in 1919 in which | a fight was led by Lewis to prevent the confirmation of Palmer's appoint- ment as Attorney General were aired | by Mr. Choate in his cross-examination | of the plaintiff. Lewis admitted he was employed by Harvey T. Anderson, attorney for Heins and representative of German interests, to appear before the subcommittee to oppose the ap- pointment of Palmer on the ground that he was an “improper person for the job.” Lewis, in the action now on trial here, charges the defendants with hav- ing made statement to the effect that be was paid, while acting as special attorney general, $10,000 from “‘German trusts funds,” and that copies of this statement were sent to 200,000 promi- nent persons throughout the country.

Speclal Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, December § (NAN.A). —Frank Crilley, one of the world’s greatest divers, who will be in charge of diving operations on the Lake-Railey Lusitania Expedition, agrees with Sirnon Lake that it will be “as easy Pgfifl 'and ex- down in an elevator” to reach plore the tarpedoed liner. e | For 27 years Crilley has been diving; | for 27 years frothy streams of air bub- | bling up from fathomsdeep have marked the trail of his jead-ghod feet across the | beds of most of the seven seas. He has slogged through mud and sand, and in | 1915, on the coral bottom off Hawaii, | he worked under 306 feet of water, | deeper than any man has ever been in a collapsible diving suit And at the age of 47, after so many | years of this work, Frank Crilley is as | enthusiastic and confident and eager &bout his newest adventure as any am- bitious novice. Tube to Reach Deck. In February Crilley expects to be “on the bottom” dn the rotting decks of the Lusitania, deep in the silt off Kinsale Head, Ireland. Through Mr. Lake's hinged steel tube, which will be lowered from a surface vessel to “A™ deck of the Lusitania, the aims of the expedition can be accomplished in about 20 work- ing days, Crilley says To the wiry, seamed, tanned little man the salvage of the safe in the purs- er's cabin, about 200 feet below the surface, will probably be an easy job compared to many Crilley has tackled. In this safe, it is believed, will be found important and historic' papers and documents. As to exploring the grand dining sa- loon and other parts of the interior and taking pictures of the wrecked and slime-covered grandeur of what was once one of the proudest liners afloat, Crilley said: “We'll go right through the skylight.” The diver pointed out that a huge skylight roofed the dining saloon and that entrance to the interior of the ves- sel could easily be made through it. Enthusiastic About Tube. Speaking in his slow sailor's twang, with the ready twinkle of .the eyes and the quick quirk of the lips which are characteristic of the man, Crilley ex- pressed his enthusiasm for the steel tube, the invention of his chief, Mr. Lake, for whom he has worked since he left the U. 8. Navy 10 years ago. “This invention, whereby you bring your diving chamber to your work, is what I've been looking forward to a long time,” he said. He explained that the tube saves time, dampens surface wave motion and enables the diver to avold the dangers and delays encotin- tered when he is lowered to his work from a surface vessel fathoms above him. With the tube, all the diver has to do is to walk down a stairway to the diving chamber, which is at the scene of operations, “I have looked forward to working with this tube on the other side,” Crilley said. He emphasized the ease with which coal and other lost cargoes had been salvaged off the Connecticut coast with the Lake tube. Crilley may have from one to five divers assist him on the Lusitania undertaking, if it is found necessary, but uj his shoulders will fall the chief rden of the underwater work of the expedition. Holds Medal of Honor, Judging from his past exploits it will be a burden he will be well able | to bear. Crilley, who isn't a big fellow | —he's only five feet seven inches tall | and weighs 140—holds the Congres- | sional Medal of Honor, the Navy Cross | and other decorations for undersea work. He is a widower and lives at Verona, N. J., with his children, Mary. fifteen and Frank, thirteen. Young Frank is already following in the footsteps of his famous father, | and with a five galion line can for & helmet he has established a local | reputation as a diver. Around Verona | his services are in demand to retrieve | g0lf balls in country club ponds, or to make underwater repairs to swimming pools. Young Frank Crilley has been | gg\'n 18 feet with his home-made out- | When Crilley, senior, is not diving| he watches his children and paints | the house. He wants it understood that diving is an exact and exaoting profession, as skilled in its way as surgery, “My most exciting adventure?” he sald. “I don’'t know. My most dan- gerous moment?

I never took & chance.” But this is the man who disentan- gled the lines of an unconscious com- rade from a threshing eight inch steel | e Watch, Clock & Jewelry || REPAIRING | Clocks Called for, Deliversd.

He put in 21 years of active service in the Navy, was then trans- ferred to the Reserves, and was retired as chief gunner’s mate. Crilley took his first deep dive at Monterey, Calif., in 1908, from the Illinols. He has medals for work in the Messina earthquake disaster in Italy. After leaving the Navy he en- tered the employ of Mr. Lake, and worked on the experimental craft De- fender in subsea salvage , and 8lso on the old Argosy. He partici- pated in salvage operations on the Ward liner Merida, lying in 200 feet of water off the Virginia Capes. He got the Navy Cross for his work on the S-4, Navy submarine sunk off Provincetown, Mass., in 1927, and he was a member of Sir Hubert Wilkins' expedition to the Arctic in the sub- marine Nautilus.
