The District Attorney said that while he considers the evi- dence against Sternberg conclusive he wants the defendant to have a |sauare deal. Jonah Goldstein, counsel for Stern- berg, called on Assistant District At- torney Talley to-day and asked the ald of the District Attorney's office. Me said that certain persons, among them policemen who could testify in Sternberg’s favor, had refused to honor mrbpoenas, “We have no power to compel those people to testify for us," explained the attorney, “but the District Attor- ney can force them to come to the front. We would like to have them questioned by the District Attorney along certain lines.” ‘The desired subpoenas were issued, and the District Attorney will exam- tne witnesses for the defense along Mnes suggested by Mr, Goldstein, In discussing the matter Mr. Goldstein went extensively over Sternberg’s alib!, but failed to touch on some Im- | portant features of evidence brought | out by the police, “Why,” asked Mr, Talley, “did Sternberg go to the Ralph Avenue Station tn Brooklyn the Sunday after the murder?” “He had been drinking in celebra- tion of his wedding anniversary and went there for medical treatment,” | replied Mr. Goldstein, “That's a cock and bull story,” de- clared Mr. Talley. “Sternberg was well known in that etation house and ‘the knew most of the policemen there. He went there to find out if the police had picked up his trail in the Hilair | murder case and the strain knocked | him out temporarily.” OFFERS A PLAN FOR BIG NATIONAL ARMY {Have 36 Districts, With 27,500 Men in Each, Committee | Suggests.
