After a lengthy hearing in the Springfleld police court yesterday the case against Frank Ginsberg, of this city, charged with manslaughter, was not finished and was continued until July 20. Mr. Glnsberg wag the owner of the motorcycle which struck and killed Harry BE. Cook at Pecowsic June 14. It is claimed that Mr. Cook and his family with Harry P. Ellis of the Young Men’s Christian association college were on the left-hand side of the road, having just left the Forest park entrance near the estate, when the machine going south and carrying Mr. Ginsberg and Sam- uel Baumstein, of Hartford, struck Mr. Cook and threw him to the ground. Mr. Cook was picked up and taken to the Hampden hospital, from a fracture of the skull which caused his death soon after he redched the hospital. According to the medical testimony, the fracture was at the base of the skull and was caumed directly by the viclence of his fall and indirectly by being struck by the motorcycle.

They ‘can forbid the holding of a parade but cannot, it was pointed out, prevent the agitators from taking the ashes into Union square.

That there will be close police su- pervision was indicated last night . when a police captain and twelve men were assigned to be at the public morgue this morning when an under- taker appears to take possession of the bodies. It is belleved that the police have been instructed to make certain that they be buried at once.

Dietz, formerly a Maiden lane dia- mond. broker, who failed last year with liabilitles of $200,000, and his son, Charles Dietz, were indicted by ‘the federal grand jury yesterday on a charge of smuggling diamonds into | the United States between February | 16, 1911, and April 1, 1912. The indictment contained eleven counts. The indictments were handed down late yesterday, and it is believed they are the first steps in efforts to bare a diamond smuggling plot which in round figures involves $700,000. Suspicions that diamonds were be- ing smuggled into the country was aroused when-Joseph Samuels & Son, & braid and trimming house, failed several years ago, and it became known that a firm of pawnbrokers of Montreal, Canada, were indorsers on notes held by the creditors of the Samuels firm. At the time of the failure the total liabilities of the firm were more than $1,000,000. Gen- eral A. S. Webb, of the Lincoln Trust company, trustee in bank- ruptey, learned that the only tangibie assets of the company were goods and cash totalling about $12,000. Facts Caus®d Investigation. This fact, coupled with the faii- ure of Herman J. Dietz, whose notes were indorsed by the Samuels firm for a large amount, caused the cus- tom officials to begin an investiga- tion. It developed that when Dietz could not get diamonds in any other way the Samuels firm bought them for him and took his notes in pay- ment. The trustees’ investigation of the - Dietz failure ‘made other disclo- sures, and the result of the inquiry was made known to the United States district attorney’s office. In February, 1913, the grand jury in- dicted members of the Samuels firm and Mrs. Ray Abrahams, who was the sister of two of the members of the firm and a daughter of an- other, and} also indicted Isaac Ander- son and Charles Hepner, employes of the firm, and Herman H. Oppen- heimer, a lawyer. Roger B.' Wood, assistant United States attorney and Dudley F. Ma- lone, collector of the.port, conferred yesterday on the indictments found by the grand jury and for the first time decided to give a statement to the public’ regarding the government's investigation of the matter. The statement said: “In the month of March, 1914, as the outgrowth of certain bankruptcy cases, it was brought to the atten- tion of Dudley Field Malone, collec- tor of the port, that there were large customs frauds over the Canadian border. - “The collector conferred with Rog- er B, Wood, assistant United States attorney, and. made a special trip to ‘Washington to.-consult with - Chief Flynn, of the United States secret ser- vice. . Chief Flynn assigned Frank Burke, a secret service operative, to the collector for the purpose of this investigation. Since that time the collector and Burke have been busy investigating the case, both here ana in Canada, and it is believed that the indictments against Herman J. Dieta and Charles Dietz, which have been handed down today, are merely the first steps in the disclosure of a tre- mendous smuggling plot. Already the amount of diamonds smugglea and traced reaches approximately $700,000 and will involve many firms doing business here. Trace Big Monthly Shipments. “During an investigation of the in- voices of the custom house at Mon- treal, Canada, by the secret service operative, acting under instructions from Collector Malone, it developed that on an average two shipments ot diamonds, of a value of about $25,« 000, were monthly smuggled into the United States. “The scheme was that a New York diamond firm would order diamonds from Grunezweig & Zimmer, of Ani- werp, consigned to pawnbrokers of Montreal. An agent of the smug- glers would come on from New York, receive the diamonds in Montreal and take a night train for New York, concealing ‘the diamonds on his per- son. On at least a dozen occasions the diamonds were brought into the United States by a resident of Canada, who was paid the sum of $50 to $100 for each trip. The diamonds were delivered in New York. Indorsed Many Notes. “When Samuels & Co. failed it de- veloped that the pawn = brokerage firm was indorser on a number of notes held by the creditors of the Samuels firm. It also developed that the Samuels firm held a number of accommodation notes made by differ. ent firms in Montreal and delivered to Samuels by the pawnbrokers. These pawnbrokers and a number of the Canadian firms whose notes were hela by the creditors of Samuels & Co., failed immediately following the Samuels failure. “In March, 1913, Herman J. Dietz went into bankruptcy, with liabilities of over $300,000, and assets of ap- proximately $5,000. After the Dietz failure an investigation was com- menced by the United States attorney's office to ascertain whether Dietz had concealed his assets, This investiga- tion has not yet been completed. New Indictments Threatened. “An investigation recently conduct- ed in Montreal has brought to light conclusive evidence of a conspiracy to smuggle diamonds into the United States, and conclusive proof was also obtained that diamonds of the value of between $300,000 and $500,000 had been smuggled into the United States by the conspirators during the years Evenis Tom'ghtj Keeney's theater, motion pictures. vaudeville and Fox's theater, motion pictures.

Dietz and Charles Dietz it is possible that all the per- sons indicted will be brought to trial at once on the smuggling charges. was first thought that the trials would not be held until September or Octo- ber, but the United States attorney's office attaches great importance to the finding of yesterday’'s indictments, and the cases may move forward at once, Many of the big diamond firms in Maiden lane which have suffered be- cause of the smuggling have done all in their power to aid the United States attorney’s office in running down the criminals.
