BORAH CLAIMS GAS EXTENSION PLANS Tells of Recent Meeting of World Powers To Discuss Gas War- fare Policies Washington, June 3.—Declaring that although the powers at the re- cent arms conference had placed “the ban of public condemnation” on gas warfare, Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, discussing the army appropri- atioh bill in the senate, asserted (hat representatives of the United States and six other powers recently had conferred in Washington with a view to extending gas warfare and ‘‘de- stroying the result of the arms con- ference.” Senator Borah added that it ap- peared that Washington was ‘“the i distributing depot,” for information on the development of warfare. The arms conference treaties, said the Idaho senator, had been rushed through the senate ‘“upon the plea that the United States should take the first step toward world peace,” and yet, he added, none had been ra- tified by the powers. At both the war and state depart- ments, however, after Senator Borah had made his attacks, officials said they knew of no such conference be- ing held. f When challenged by Chairman | Wadsworth of the military commit- tee, Mr. Borah said that at least it could not be disputed that thé Brit- ish delegation was here, visited the Edgewood arsenal and ‘“exchanged views on perfecting the use of.these noxious gases.'” FR(fiIE_MAN’S DEATH Friends of Courtney Now Think He Was Struck By Train At Little Railroad Station. New Haven, June 3.—Friends of Captain Joseph P. Courtney, revenue agent, who was killed by a train at | the Saungatuck-Westport railroad sta- tion early yesterday have been in- quiring into the circumstances and today it was stated they were of the opinien that Courtney gpent most of Thursday night in the station. He was struck by the train which reached Darfen at 4:44 a. m. It is known that .Courtney was at the station about 9 p. m. the night before and it Is thought though that he may have fallen asleep in the station or out- side of it and being awakened in the early morning went to the edge of the platform in sleepy state expect- 1ing the approaching train to make a stop. Courtney may have been standing too close to the platform edge and was struck and his body dragged along and mutilated under the wheels. It is said that there are marks on the station platform which may have been at the place where he was struck. The Cunard Line steamer Acadia held the speed record in 1841. NisW BRILAIN DALLY HEKALD, SALTUKDAY, IBRIBERY CASES MAY NOT BE PRESSED State Unlikely to Proceed Against Men in McAulifie Matter State's Attorney’ Hugh M. Alcorn in a statement has .pmcllrnlly infer- red that the cases’ pending against Charles and S8amuel Gardino, who are under bonds for alleged bribery, would be nolled. This action has been considered since the death of Thomas McAuliffe the former prohibition enforcement officer, who was under indictment on chargen of accepting a bribe from the Gardinos. With a nolle entered in the cases against the Gardinos, the same action would probably be puk- sued in the cases of Wallace F. Rich- ardson, Andrew F., RichaMson, Ar- thur H. Harris and Jacob Jennings, who were arrested at the time of the big expose in this city. Case Rocked State. The McAuliffe case was one that rocKed the entire state, due to the promfnence of the defendant, who at the time was entrusted with the en- forcement of prohibition in this state. He was placed under arrest at his office at New Haven, a few days af- ter Richardson, his two sons and “Jake" Winkle were taken into cus- tody in this city by the state police. Then came the arrest of the Gar- dinos, the proprietors of the Hotel Grand on Myrtle street. Arthur H. Harris, a truckman and Jacob Jen- nings, a local sportsman., Harrls and Jennings were able to procure bonds- men at once, and -were liberated. Har- ris' father provided a bond of $5,000 while friends of Jennings, put up a $3,000 bond for him. The Gardinos were incarcerated in the Hartford county jail for several days, until lo- cal people furnished bonds of $15,000 in each case. The Richardson boys were also locked up for considerable time. Wal- lace Richardson, the younger of the two, was first let out on a $15,000 bond furnished by his mother. After the conviction of the elder Richard- son, the junior Richardson was al- lowed his freedom, on a bond algo furnished by his mother. Alcorn Had Confessions. From an authentic source it has been learned that the Gardinos, in their reported confession at the time of their arrest, said that they had paid to McAuliffe the sum of $1,500 to protect a load of liquor which was being transported from New Jersey to,this city. This amount of money covered more than one transaction, according to the obtained information. It was disclosed that Andrew F. Richardson, on one occasion drove the truck containing a consignment of liquor, and on which A. J. Richard- son and McAuliffe rode, the liquor be- ing taken to the Richardson farm in Newington. The Famous Double Cross. The role in which Harris played a part was one of the most sensa- tional of the whole affair, it is said. The truck owned by Harris had been hired to transport liquor here from New Jersey. Escorts believed to be ‘federal men accompanied the load from New Jersey Into Danbury. On this load was liquor valued at $15,000 and the Gardinos, according to in- formation, paid McAuMffe $500 for “protection.” This was in May of 1920, and everything went right, un- til the truck was held up at Walling- ford by a gang said to have been headed by Richardson, senior. The liquor was taken off Harris' truck and stolen by a' preafrangement, it is said. e | Accused Told All. The state’s attorney admitted that the stories as tgld by the Gardinos and Harris corresponded and al- though part of it has become publie, there are still many other phases of the case which are being withheld by the state's attorney. Mr. Alcorn is credited with the statement that the confession of Richardson and the Gardino brotiers, supported the claim of the state, that bribes had been paid to McAuliffe.
