MAY ASK DISMISSAL | INCONSPIRAGY GASE: ?Lawyers Wifi 700nteud Wire-Tap- ping Records Expose Police Dept. New York, July 22.—With the close of the prosecution case in the wi tapping hearing before Justice Green- baum in the Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court the lawyers for the | defense indicated that they would | move Monday fo a dismissal of the charge of conspiracy and libel | against Mgr. John J. Dunn, Father William B. Farrell and Dr. Daniel | C. Potter, and the charge of perjury against ex-Commissioner Robert W. Hebberd. They will base their mo- tion the contention that enough admissions have been obtained from | the police wiretappers completely to discredit the accuracy and authentic- ity of the phonograms which consti- | tute the main bulk of the evidence against the defendants. Even before the prosecution prac- tically closed its case the defense scored another telling attack upon the phonograms in the testimony of Walter Drummond, an iron manufac- turer of 51 Chambers street, and son of ex-Charities Commissioner Michael J. Drummond. The phonograms pro- duced in evidence record several con- Versations between Dr. Potter and Mr. Drummond which Mr. Drum- mond emphatically denied as having taken place. Dr. Potter is alleged to have told Drummond that he could not go to the office on that day, March 20, 1916, and Drummond is quoted in reply as having urged Mim “to be careful” lest some one got him on the telephone. “I am careful,” Dr. Potter is said to have answered. “The girl | answers first when she finds out who | it is. According to the phonogram, | Drummond then warned Potter to | keep under cover, and Potter replicd that if “they subpoenaed him to ap- pear before the Strong Committee he could tell seven thousands they did | not want known.” Asked whether ho | ever had such a conversation with Dr. Potter, Drummond replied: Conversations Denied. "I did not have any such conversa- tion at that or at any other time.’ Bqually emphatic was Drummond’s denial of the substance of a conver. | sation alleged to have taken place be. | tween him and Dr. Potter on March when Dr. Potter, according fo the phonogram, said he was going our of town because it was ‘“Indispensable’ that “they didn't get” him “in this matter.” Mr. Drummond admitted Potter on that day, that the conversation Wwas concerned with nothing more s of cigarettes which ofter asked him to get from his of- | The word “hoxes” retained in the phonogram was taken to refer by the tappers (o | “boxes” of testimony. ! Not being able to find the cigarettes, Drummond said he called up Potter’s home to tell him so, and gave the message to & woman, whereas the phonogram records him as speaking | to & man. On March 21, he said, Dr. Potter called up his son, Dean Pot- ter, while the latter was in Drum- mond’s offics. Drummond did not overhear the conversation which fol- lowed. Dean Potter, the witness said, carried an oange colored Gladstone bag, the contents of which were un- known to him. In one of the phono- grams, this green bag is also men- tioned in a manner to infer that it contained testimony in connection with the Strong investigation . Among the other witnesses called yesterday were Isador Spinrad, clerk in the state board of charities, who submitted a record of telephone num- bers called by Hebberd from his of- fice in February and March of this r. The record showed thirty ephone calls to Dr. Potter, Mr. Hebberd testified Strong committee th many conversations ing that time. Spinrad admitted, how- | ever that some of the Potter calls | might have been ordered for John P. Prest, superintendent of the New office of the state board of cha He said he sometimes led Father Farrell and Dr. Potter for Mr. Prest on Hebberd's wire when the lat- ter was in Albany. Prest when called to the stand said the calls had been charged to Hebberd, but he could not v whether Hebberd had used the call on every occasion. $100 Used As Bait. Tn closing the prosecution’s case, Assistant District Attorney Embree, submitted in evidence extracts from the testimony given by Father Farrell and Mr. Hebberd hefore the Strong committee. This testimony related largely with the authorship of the Farrell pamphlets which were dis- tributed in the Catholic churches and assailed the work of the Strong com- mission. Mr. Embree also caused to be read into the record Mgr. Dunn’s testimony before the Thompson com- mittee in which the priest endeav- ored to explain how he came to offer Dr. Potter $100 to leave town and avoid the service of a subpoena. In his testimony, before the Thompson com- mittee Mgr. Dunn sald he spoke of the $100 through the telaphone be- { cause he knew it would act as a “bait” which the wiretappers would be quick to selze “It came to me like a inspiration.” { said Mgr. Dunn before the Thompson committee. “T satd, Do you want a hundred * T threw that out as a balt, | and they grabbed at it llke fish. T | knew thev would fall for that.

All of the members of the commit- tee were present except the four mem- bers from the Paciflc coast, who were | absent on Thursday, and Public Ser- vice Commissioner Straus. There was considerable discussion over the itinerary of Mr. Hughes" western trip. Tt is impossible for the candidate to speak in all the towns and cities that want to hear him and whose representatives around head- quarters are asking for him. Senator P. J. McCumber of North Dakota, who is a candidate for re-election, urged that the candidate pay some at- tention to state—not that there was any doubt of his carrying North Da- kota, he said, but be 1se there were peculiar conditions affecting the sen- atorial eontest this fall F derick Hale, son of States Senator Eugene Hale of Maine, and now himself a cadidate for office, told the members of the com- mittee of conditions in Maine, ending with an appeal that special attention be paid it in the campaign.
