Recorda revealed in the Court of General Sessions to-day before Judge Crain that John J. Gunson, Frederick % Franklin and Joseph Moloney, Po- MCB Department detectives, indicted eleven months ago on charges of bribery and extortion on evidence produced by Assistant District At- torney James E, Smith, have been called for trial a total of forty-eight times, and that on each occasion, al- though the defendants wére ready, a Postponement was obtained by the District Attorney's office. And when they were called for trial to-day As- sistant District Attorney Cunneen an- nounced that the prosecution was not ready. “This is an intolerable state of af- fairs,” said Judge Crain. “These trials must proceed. The clerk will mark them ready but pass them for the day.” Franklin has been called for trial twenty-three times, Gunson sixteen times and Moloney nine times. The three men are under suspension from the Police Department. Frank Aranow, counsel for Frank- Yin, sald his client ta destitute. Be- cause of the frequent calls upon him for attendance at court he has been unable to hold a Job. Counsel for Gunson said his client is in the same state, It was police morning in Judge Crain's court Capt. William a. Bailey, under indictment on the e of the acceptance of an un- lawful fee, appeared with counsel, a representaive of William Fallon, and demanded an immediate trial. The District Attorney's represontative de- manded a special jury panel and the trial went over to next week. The trial of Detectives Cornelius & Flood and Robert A. O'Brien, ree ntly indicted for shooting and killing fifteen-year-old James Cushing 02 the root of No. 420 West 50th Street on July 14, 1918, was to have begun to- | day before Judge Crain. William | Fallon, counsel for Flood and O’Brien, | being engaged in the Hettrick trial, asked through a representative, fr a postponement until Monday. ‘There was no objection from the prosecution | and the panel of 100 special talesmen was excused until Monday morning. City Opposes Brooklyn Company's Ask for 5 Cents’ Dog Meat and | Scheme to Make Chancery Master Accept Proffered Security. Arguments were heard to-day by Federal Judges Ward, Hough and Mayer, sitting as a Statute Court, on motion of the Brooklyn Gas Company for an order directing Richard Welling, Spgtial Master in Chancery, to turn over to the company $1,078,000. This ta money impounded, representing the dit- ference paid by consumers between the old 86 cent and the new $1.10 rate, and directed by court order to be held until the United States Supreme Court de- termined the legality of the higher rate. The company “took down" $800,000 of the impounded money last year by de- positing $1,500,000 in securities, Surety companies were said to have declined to furnish the company with a bond upon the offered security of the $4,000,000 capital stock of its four subsidiary com- panies, operating imJamaica, Richmond Hin, Woodhaven, Elmhurst, Queens to cover the sum i now secks to secure. The company wants to compel Mr. ing to accept as security for the ¢ 00 the stock the surety compantes re- fused to accept for the purpose. The motion, favored by William M. Dykeman for the gas company, was op- posed by an array of lawyers represent- ing the State Attorney Genera) and the Public Service Commission.
