This evidence included certain affidavits, the principal one being that of Gus- tave Stahle of 20 Leroy street, New York city, who deposes as follows: ¢ “On the day prior to the sailing of the Lusitania, I was.asked by my friend, A. Lietch, who was employed as first cabin steward, to help, him bring his trunk aboard. In the course of the evening we went on board with- out being hindered by the quarter- master on guard. Saw Four Guns. “After having remained some time in the ‘Gloria’ (stewards' quarters) we ‘went to the stern main deck: About ‘fifteen to eighteen feet from the entrance to the ‘Gloria’ on port and starboard respectively I saw two guns of twelve to fifteen centimeters. They were covered with leather, but the barrel was distinctly to be seen. To satisfy my curiosity I unfastened the buckles to ascertain the calibre of the guns. I could also ascertain that the guns were mounted on deck on wooden blocks. The guns were placed about three feet from the re- spective sides and the wall could be removed: at that particular place. “One the foredeck there were also two guns of the same calibre and cov- ered in the same manner. . They were ‘placed at about ten to twenty feet from the entrance of the crew’s quar- ters and four feet from the ship side where the wall could also be re- moved.” Told of Guns of Board. Josephine Weir, a New York board- «|ing house keeper, swears in, another affidavit that Leitch,” who is referred to in Stahle’s statement, remarked to her that he was going to sail on the Lusitania as a -steward. She mgn- tioned the danger from German sub- marines and, according to her affi- davit, he replied: “Oh, I'm not afraid; we have four big, brightly polished copper guns.” " Another affidavit ‘submittdd by the German ambassador to the 'state de- | partment is signed by -one Grieve, who deposes that he heard Leitth make 1 ‘|'this Tremark to Mrs. Weir.

A fourth afidavit presenting the statement of a man named Bruckner says he saw a cannon on the Lusi- tania while standing on the dock. The state department has referred these affidavits to the department of justice, Whi¢h ' will ‘ifivestigate them land also ‘the Germéah chirges gener- Lally that the Lusitania carried iguns. |Government - officials said that this referénce of the affidavits to the de- partment of justice in no wise indi- cated that this govermyment intended to discuss them with the Germar government, but merely represented the routine course.of investigations which the government makes in such matters. Reported No Gims on Board, Customs Collector Malone officially reported that ‘the Luistania had' no guns, mounted, unmounted or masked when she left New York. The Collec- or was summoned to Washington aAnd repeated to the president that from the examination by his inspectors, he was satisfled that the Lusitania not only did not have guns on board, but had not even any emplacements there- for, The United States has refused to acknowledge thus far that even if the Lusitania did have two mounted guns this would constitute a justification for the German submarine attack. The view of this government is that such guns would be merely for defensive purposes and the State Department ‘ruled early in the war that the carry- ing of guns for defense would be per~ missible. The government really feels that it is entitled to accept the reports of treasury officials and ’sthe “neutrality squad”’ with regard to the Lusitania without any fugther investigations, but i can.

The only facts regard- ing the raids that have been allowed to leak through the cables to this countr- afe that ninety bombs were dropped in the outlying districts of London; that four persons were killed and several injured, two of the latter being German tailoresses named Schader. Quite a number of fires were started, it was said, but all ‘of these might not have been caused by the bomba a~ 4 all the fires were soon under control. Damage May Have Been Heavy.

MADDEN CONVICTED OF MANSLAUGHTER New York Gang Leader Elated Over Verdict—Maximum Penalty Twenty Years in Prison. ) New York, June 3.—Owen Madden, leader of a band of young men on the West side called the “Owney Mad- den Gophers,” was convicted of man- slaughter in the first degree last night beforé Judge Nott in General sessions, He had been on trial for ten days for murder. Sentence will be pronounced Tuesday. The maximum penalty is twenty years im prison. Madden was so elated over the verdict thgt he told his counsel, Charles E. Colligan, that he did not want to delay sentence and would take what was coming to him right away. He had been told he was in for an unfavorable verdict and feared he would be convicted of first degree murder. 3 Madden, with Arthur Beiler and John McArdie, was held responsible for the killing of James Moore,. called in gang circles Patsy Doyle, in 'a saloon at Forty-first street and Eighth avenue, Beiler later pleaded guilty to the shooting of Doyle and is now serving eighteen years imprisonment M dle is serving thirteen years. . h Madden in prison District Ate ftorney Perkins said last night he knew of no other recognized gang leader at liberty except under heavy bonds. He said the arrest of ehe labor gangsters, including Dopey Benny Fein and Joseph Rosenzweig, called Joe the Greaser, had ' about cleaned up that part of the situation in New York. ¥ Mr, Perkins said reports to him showed that since Doyle was killed on November 28 last there have been no holdups or gang work on the West Side. Madden and his crowd made their headquarters in a restaurant at Thirty-third street and Tenth avenue. It was largely on the testimony of two girls, Margaret Everdeane = and Frieda Horner, that Madden was convicted. Both swore Madden had planneéd’ the death’ of Doyle.
