The nurses for the past three months have been giving up their leisure afternoons to calls that had to be made.

It contains an almost magi- cal drug discovered by a Cincinnati {man. It is called freezone. It is a compound made from ether., Apply a few drops of this freezone upon a ten- der, aching corn or a hard- ened callous. Instantly the soreness disappears and shortly you will find the corn or callous .so shriveled and loose . that you just lift it off with the fingers, You feel no pain or sore- ness when applying freez- one or afterwards. It doesn’t even irritate the skin. Just ask n any drug store for a small bottle of freeszone.

Judge -James T, Meskill occupied ' the . bench. Repregenting the accused were Judge B. F. Gaffney and Attorney Benjamin Chesky of Hartford. Theére was a heavy outpour- ing of legal talent on hand when the session opened. Judge W. J. Malone . Green- berg, of this city were present in the interests of Hyman Shlafer, the state’s witness, who has not been located. A plea of not guilty was entered to each of the five counts against the accused. The largest amount involved was $606.40, representing a number of slips, in which it is alleged the ac- cused conducted his fraudulent trans- actions with Shlafer. Franklin L. Knox of Hartford took stenographic notes of the testimony. The first witness called by the state 'was Abraham Gordon, junior ; member of the concern. He testified to taking an inventory of the stock in December, where a heavy leakage was detected. However, he did not place any blame on anyone at this time. Early in January, Shlafer came to him and reported that Goldberg and he had been defrauding the company for. a considerable time, handing over slips * of paper representing’ $606. Shilafer told the witness, that he paid Goldberg seventy cents on every dol- lar's worth of goods purchased. When the witness spoke to Goldberg about the matter the latter denied that he was In any way connected with the story as told by Shlafer. Later, in company with Gordon and Shlafer, in the office of Kirkham & Cooper, Gold- berg broke down and admitted being guilty of having secured the: amount that the slips represented; . Gordon said. He then made an offer to effect a settlement of $800 or $1,000. The witness said a civil actloi was then statted, writs being handed to Deputy Sheriff Marsh who attached money in various banks,; Sup-Alien & Co.

Judge Gaffney raised ob- jection to the admission of the affadavit, but the court overruled the motion. In reply to a question by the attorney, Gordon said that it was the statements of ?.‘\Illl!er that rompted him to go_to the attorney’s gfl«z,to commence civil action. Asked it he had pny of the original siips, the witness answered in the negative, apd when pressed .closer as to what has become of them, the witness shouted, “ask your client.” It was on January 22, that Shlafer “squealed,” and two days later he informed the police of the thefts, “What inspired you to notify the police?” asked Judge Gaffney. “Say do you think I needed any more in- spiration?"” was Gordon’s reply. g _ The witness further stated that Goldberg had mad: de overtures of set- tlement to the amount as represented on the slips In the hands of the con- cern.. He also informed Gordon that he could tell the police, and he (Goldberg) would take his ‘“‘medi- cine.” Questioned by the attorney, Gordon said that hothing definite was known as to the exact amount which Goldberg is alleged to have taken, but he placed the figures between $265,000 and $30,000. 'During his talks with the accused, Gordon learned that the latter was conscience stricken, and claimed to have stopped his transac- tions several weeks before the dis- covery was made. - B George Gordon, the other member of the firm, was the second witness called. On January 27, according to his statements, Goldberg came to his house wheére he made a clean breast of the affair, pleading-with the wit- ness to extend leniency. In pleading for his client, Judge Gaffney argued that the testimony showed the case to be one of con-. spiracy rather than theft. However Prosecutor Klett quoting the statute, showed that the case became. crimi- [in Washington, D. C., nal the moment that the goods were |inaugural exercises.
