Ritzman of Detroit Found Guilty- of War Fraud—Rush- ing Other Cases Washington, June 16.—Reopening, of trials of persons charged with waf frauds resulted in the conviction of Charles J. Ritzman, general manager of Driscoll & Co., Detroit, and for- mer captain in the army transport corps. Ritzman was charged with ac- cepting a bribe of $800 in marked money for influencing the award of a contract for skid chains. Sentence was withheld, pending an appeal. While this is not one of the war fraud cases for which an appropria- tion of $600,000 was made recently by congress officials of the department of justice say it indicates that all alleg- ed war frauds will be prosecuted. The Ritzman case is one of about fifty partly prepared under the ad- ministration of Attorney General Palmer and completed under Attor- ney General Daugherty. Several in- dictments have been obtained in these cases, and it was stated today by United States Attorney Peyton Gor- possible. The special grand jury, authorized by congress to handle nothing but such cases, is rounding up the cases prepared and is expected to hand down fully a score of indictments within the next week. Mr. Daugherty announced today he is making headway in getting a corps of strong lawyers to go into the other cases. The offices allotted to the war fraud cases of the depart- ment will be taken over tomorrow. They are in the land office building.

Ossining, N. Y., June 16.—When John Soesroda of Batavia, under sen- tence of death for murder, got off an express train at Harmon yesterday to change for Sing Sing he suddenly made a lunge in the direction of a network of third rails near the sta- tion platform, dragging with him John McNish, deputy sheriff of Gen- esee county, to whom he was hand- cuffed. The rails were only about twelve feet ahead of them, and had the prisoner, whd is a powerful man, reached them both probably would have been killed. Sheriff David Gar- rett leaped on the prisoner’'s shoulders and ended the sortie. Soesroda rode to prison in the same train and taxicab with John Hulbert, Sing Sing's executioner, but did not know it. His sentence is effective in the week of July 31. TO ELECT DE!
