By the Associated Press NEW YORK, June 30.—A crowd of several hundred persons, many of them women and children, swarmed around the Mott street entrance to Homicide Court on the Lower East Side today and hooted and jeered at sight of Robert Irwin, 29-year-old sculptor, named in three indictments as the Easter Sunday killer of Beek- man Hill Handcuffed to two policemen, Irwin, still wearing the rumpled white suit he had on when he was arrested Sun- day in Chicago, frowned and puffed | a cigarette. He appeared slightly ner- vous as the policemen hustled him through the crowd His appearance in court was mere- ly a step in the preliminary formali- ties necessary before he is brought to trial for the murders of Veronica Gedeon, artist's model; her mother, Mis. Mary Gedeon, and their lodger, Frank Byrnes. Taken from his cell in gloomy old | Tombs Prison, Irwin was sped to the ancient building housing Homicide STOP!

Then he was taken before the bench. Edward Martin, a Depart- ment of Correction officer, waited with a bench warrant for the sculptor’s ar- rest on the indictments. Samuel S. Leibowitz, nationally known criminal lawyer, whom Irwin retained as counsel before he was flown here from the Middle West, stood at-the prisoner’s side, but made no remarks, as Assistant District At- torney Max Weider asked discharge on the short affidavit on which Irwin was arrested. The proceedings were brief. The magistrate discharged the short affi- | davit, Martin arrested Irwin on the | bench warrant and he was hustled out of the building into a prison van and taken to Mercer strect station for booking. v From Mercer street he was taken | to Criminal Courts Building to plead | to the indictments. | Will Seek Trial Delay.

Lieut. Owens said today Irwin was born in 1907 at Los Angeles. Despite the whirlwind tempo of this week's routine legal procedure, begin- ning with the ecentric young sculptor’s surrender and confessions and follow- ing yesterday through his indictment ! by the grand jury on three first-degree charges, District Attorney William C. Dodge conceded the State's desire for an early trial probably would not be fulfilled. Dodge said he feared that, because of limited court activity in July and August, Irwin would not be brought to trial before September at the earliest. However, Dodge’s aides lost no time in going to work on their prosecution groundwork, digging up material to combat the expected insanity defense. | A report spread that police were un- YOU BET DA Rhr | able to identify as Irwin's any of the fingerprints found in the Gedeon apartment.
