SPENCER ASKS HIGH COURT TO RULE ON TRIAL Seeks Opinion on Power for Joint Prosecution of Crime Suspects. ' Pro'rcutor Herbert M. Spencer this afternoon was scheduleu 10 ask the Supreme Court to dismiss a temporary writ of prohibition barrios; Special Judge James D. Ermfdon from presiding over the joint trial of three burglary suspects in Criminal Court. Whether the state can proceed, under terms of anew statute, against these and other defendants accused jointly in several major crimes, hinges on the outcome, Mr. Spencer said. Other cases which the Supreme Court ruling will affect involve Edward (Foggy) Dean and Willie Mason, accused of inflicting personal injury m the commission of a robbery, and Forest Jacoby and others of his alleged gang, Mr. Spencer said. Dean and Mason are suspected of complicity in the holdup of the People’s Motor Coach Cos. garage, in which Scrgt. Lester Jones was shot fatally. Mr. Ermston was enjoined yesterday as trial began in the case of Ernest Tait, Donald Nve and James Flaherty, accused of burglary in connection with the recent, robbery of a West Side tavern. Separate trials are sought for Nve and Flaherty. Argument on a permanent writ has br-n set for Nov. 4. A juty to try the case had been selected, but not sworn in, when Mr. Ermston was served. He directed the jury and others of the venire to return Tuesday after instrucing them not to discuss the case. SILVERWARE TAKEN AT ALEX VONNEGUT HOME Passkey Burglars Obtain Loot Valued at S6Ol.

Rambler, about them NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER SIXTEEN (Continued) He took a card from his pocket and dropped it in front of the policy king. Boyd picked it up and looked at it, and appeared desp-r----atelv unhappy. He moistened his bps nervously and said, “Yes?” “Yes,” said Larry. ‘I suppose you know about Knuckles Welsh dying?” Boyd's lips curled contcmniuously—as if he wouldn’t know that! He nodded and said nothing. “Well,” said Larry, “Welsh had a little habit, that maybe you didn't, know about. He kept a memorandum book.” He looked steadily at Boyd. The latter moistened his lips again and said nothing. A shadow of fear appeared in his eyes. “There was a lot of information | in it,” said Larry pleasantly. “Os course, most of it doesn’t mean a thing to me. You understand? It's none of my business what happens here in the city of Dover. But there was one thing that did interest me. because it’s right down my alley.”! He paused again, to note sh" policy king's steadily growing apprehension. “Welsh had a 11*Me pack of; bonds,” said Larry. “Fourteen thousand five hundred dollars’ worth of Atlas & Iron River Railroad ss, in SSOO denominations.” He kept his eyes fixed on Boyd's face. There was no mistaking the latter's uneasiness. As Larry named the bonds, the little man looked fairly panicky; he took out a cigar, fumbled with a sheaf of matches, lit it and puffed furiously to conceal his state of nerves. His discomfiture was so evident f’ ~t T °rrv , was emboldened to carry his bluff through. “He had these bonds.” he said.' “and his little memorandum book told where he rrot them. Now, Mr. Boyd"—Larry leaned forward—"l’d like to know just where you go f ; them before you gave them to him.” I a a a THERE was a moment's silence. Boyd took the ciear out of his mouth and looked defiantly up at the Federal man, but his defiance was poor stuff, and he seemed to realize it. He started to issue a general denial, and the words stuck brfore he got half of them out: and at last he managed to say, “What—what's the matter with 'em?” Then, recovering himself, he gave a little i laugh and said, “But somebody's been kidding you. of course, Mr. Glenn. I never had no bonds like them.” Hagan growled. “You're a lousy liar, Sonny.” Boyd jerked his head

toward the detective. Government men scared him. but a city detective was only a copper, and no copper could touch Sonny Boyd “Listen.” he snarled at Hagan, givs have been broke and sent back to pounding the pavement for getting tough with me. Don't you forget it. flatfoot.” Hagan returned his glare. “I’ve pounded pavements before and I can do it again." he said. V/hen you get through explaining about these bonds, go ahead and have me busted. Only don't forget these Federal raps are awful tough to beat.” Boyd looked at him with thinlipped tury; then the utter truth of the final remark sank home, and he looked furtively at Larry Glenn again. “You've made a mistake somewhere, mister,” he said placatingiy. "Honest, I never had nothing to do with bonds So help me—” He raised one hand dramatically, as if to take a solemn oath. Larry cut him short. “Nuts,” he said brutally. “The book: say you did, and the books can send you down to Atlanta.” Boyd gaped at him, his hand still raised. "Atlanta?” he repeated. “Sure.” said Hagan maliciously. “You know. Sonny—that place they got down there with the big walls around it?” Boyd seemed not to hear him. He kept his eyes on Larry’s. “It’s like this,” said Larry. “Those bonds came out of the National Bank of Ncola. • Red Jackson's gang held up that bank seven weeks ago and made it for $40,000 in cash and securities. Robbing a national bank is a Federal offense. And so, in case you’d for/otten, is handlirg the proceeds of such a robbery.” He let this sink in. Then he said: “I’m not interested in you. I'm not especially interested in putting you in Atlanta. In fact, I’m so little interested in it that you can talk me out of it, if you want to.” Sonny Boyd gaped again; then he thought he understood, and he smirked knowingly, and turned suggestively toward the safe behind his desk. “So?” he said softly, rubbing his hands. "Well, maybe I can talk in a way you'd like, Mr. Government Man.” an n T ARRY got the implication, and brought one fist down on the desk with a suddenness that made the little man jump. He looked at Larry with apprehensive eyes; and Larry, checking the anger that was about to explode in hot words, smiled grimly. “Not that way,” he said, with ominous softness, “not that way. Mr. Boyd, You’re old enough to be dry behind the ears by this time, and you ought to know you can't square a Federal rap that way.” “How, then?” asked Boyd. “You can tell me where you got them, and why.” said Larry. He leaned back and crossed his legs comfortably. Then he added: “Os course, if you don't want to. I'm perfectly willing to take you back down town with me and lock you up,” Hagan, who was enjoying himself immensely, chuckled. “And don't tell him that some-

body just left ’em in your car,” he said. Two years ago, Sonnv Boyd had been arrested by an incautious patrolman who had found him with a machine gun concealed in the rear es his car. It had been Sonny’s defense, on that occasion, that some one—who, he knew not—had willfully left it there to make things look bad for him: and such was the strength of his influence that this lame story was accepted—officially, at any rate —and he had gone scot free. He did not bother to reply to the jibe now. Instead he sat with his eyes fixed on Larry Glenn's face, thinking fast but fruitlessly. “Well, how about it?” said Lamafter a long wait. Boyd moistened his lips again. "Listen, mister ” he said. “I do a lot of business here. I got a lot of different deals on, at different times. I bought 'em from somebody, probably. I don't remember. I buy a lot of things. How'd I know they were hot? Why”—he smiled nervously—“l might have bought 'em from most anybody.” Larry got to his feet. “Do you wear a hat?” he asked pleasantly. Boyd looked blank. “If you do. get it.” said Larry. “You're going right down town with me right now.” “You can't do that,” said Boyd shrilly. “I got to see my lawyer. You run me in like this. I’ll—” Hagan, still enjoying things, leaned forward toward him with a grin.

“Remember, Sonny, it's like I said.” he said. “These Federal raps are hard to beat.” a a a CONNY BOYD continued to protest. "You got no warrant,” he cried. Larry stood with his hands on his hips, looking at him amusedly. “Oh, you want me to get a warrant?” he asked. “All right, Mr. Boyd. I'll go get one right now. Only listen: if 1 get one I'll serve it on you and. if I serve it, it'll slay selhed. it'll be too late to talk me out of anything then. You'll go down to Atlanta just as sure as God made apples that are little, green and occasionally just a wee mite sour.” Boyd’s protests stopped abruptly. “What do you want, mister?” he asked at last. Larry put a hand on his arm. "Come on down town with me.” he said. "We'll have a little talk in my office. If you tell me what I want to know—and tell it straight—you can stay out of the pen. When we get through talking you can come back out here. Otherwise—” Boyd reached for his hat. "You win, I guess,” he said. They walked out of the building, got in Larry's car, and went down to the Federal building. They then went up to Larry's office; and there the whole scene was repeated. (To Be Continued)
