The Court of Appealn said that this was an error because she might have wanted to say that James W. Osborne was not the man in order to get rid of indictments for con- spiracy and perjury hanging over hor and her sister, The fact Is that at that time there were no indictments and I don’t believe that the matter had ever gone before the Grand Jury at that time.” Assistant United States Attorney Caratarphen said of the Stager case: shall bring Stager to trial just fs soon as possible, The conviction wan reversed becaune of the use of let- ters which were held to be aay evidence.

The Thompson Committees will try to find out Just how far the practice of “tapping” telephone wires has been carried in this city. Secretary Ford Huntington of the New York Tele- phone Company has been subpoenaed and the committee has asked Police Commissioner Woods to tell all he as to the practice which first aroused interest In the late charities investigation. It was proved that de- tectives had “listened in” on the pri- vate telephone wires of the Rev. Wil- Nam B. Farrell, Dr, Daniel C. Potter and his son, Dean Potter. It seems to me," says Senator Thompson, “that the police have the same right to tap your wire that they have to enter your home. The law says @ man's house is his castle and the police can't enter without a war- rant or to prevent crime.

The good luck that kept William M. Moore, a contractor, living at University Avenue and One Hundred and Ninetieth Street, the Bronx, from being killed or seriously injured when he fought wih his wife while driving Mis car up Central Park Weat early to-day and preserved him from harm during a wild*police chase that fol- lowed remained with him when he was arraigned before Magistrate Ten Eyck in the West Side Court. In the press of court business the Magistrate failed to inquire as to the Manner of Moore's arrest, and he merely fined him one dollar for fail- ing to stop at a policeman’s signal, “My wife and I had been to dinner downtown," Moore explained after he paid the fine, “and there was a quar- rel on the way up. She tried to take the steering wheel from me and then she started to scream. When I saw the policeman following me I dropped her off." Policeman George Sherman was at Seventy-second Street and Centrat Park West at 1 A, M. when he heard the woman's screams. He comman- deered an automobile from in front of the Hotel Majestic and went after the auto. He fired a shot that went wild and soon after lost sight of Moore's car. When Sherman located the car a few minutes later and saw that the woman was not in it, a chase through the winding roads of the park, in which two other autos joined Sher- man's followed and at Seventy- fourth Street and the West Drive Sherman fired again, plercing the gas tank of Moore's car and forcing him to stop. Moore at first refused to give any information as to his companion who disappeared, and while he was being questioned it was reported to the police that a woman, bleeding about the face, had climbed aver the park wall and started uptown \> a trolley car, Later it was reportea she was at Roosevelt Hospital for th xtment and detectives were sont to ac* her to come to the police station. ‘toere Moore admitted she was his wife and told of the quarrel. The police gave Mrs. Moore two bank books and $400 which had been found in the car and she asked about & diamond lavalliere she had left on ul The automobile had bean tective hurried over with Mrs. Mooro and found her lavalliere under the neat cushions. It was diamond stud- ded and worth several hundred dol- lars. When Moore was arraigned Magis- trate Ten Eyck asked him if he waa gullty or not guilty. He said he was guilty and promptly paid the one- dollar fine. Not a word of the chase, the fight or the shooting came to the attention of the Court.
