Deposit of $500,000 in °Sister’s Account Mystery; &d Musica’s Impersonation Carried Even _ To His Grave. =
NEW YORK, Dec. 20 @. P.) —Federal authorities turned up evidence “today that McKesson & Robbins, Inc., was involved in a deal to sell two «million outmoded Army rifles to the Chinese Army but was turned down
by Generalissimo. Chiang Kai-shek.
The disclosure came as the State’s Attorney General, in a public Hearing, produced testimony that Philip Musica, as F. Donald Coster, “president of the 105-year-old drug firm, was an autocratic executive whose decisions were seldom questioned by other directors and officers.
* That China was the destination of a large supply of Lee-Enfield Army
rifles which Coster undertook to de-.
liver was revealed by Edward Pawley of Shanghai, one of several witnesses before the Federal Grand Jury Frederick Wingersky, vice president and general counsel of McKesson & Robbins, another Grand Jury witness, had testified at the Attorney General's hearing yester-
- . day that Coster drew up contracts
last May to supply 100,000 rifles to a foreign buyer and 1,900,000 more
if ordered and paid for. He said the
deal never was completed. Deal Finally Dropped Samples of the guns, of which the U. S. Government reportedly has 2,200,000 on hand, where sent to Chiang Kai-shek, Mr, “Pawley said, who disapproved them. Thereupon
" the deal, Mr. _ dropped. As Federal agencies pursued evidence indicating that the Musicas had been engaged in vast illicit liquor and gun-running operations through the bogus department, State investigators attempted to learn from the firm’s directors how Coster was able to deceive them. Thirty-five persons, including the widow of Philip Musica, the family schemer who killed himself last week, and Maria and Louise Musica, two of his three sisters, have been ordered before the Federal Grand Jury Joday ¢ and tomorrow. 3 . State investigators have found an account in - the - Chase - National Bank belonging. to Maria Girard, the name used by Maria Musica, which was opened April 24, 1938, with $2000 and showed -a $500,000 deposit the next day. It was a check drawn on the Federal Reserve Bank. The account now has $219.17. Where the fortune came from and where it went so quickly was only one of dozens of strange phases that were cropping out daily. Brian McMahon, Assistant United States Attorney, said other persons not connected with the 87 million dollar wholesale drug firm probably would be implicated; that the fantastic trail would be followed to its end, even if it involved mem- - bers of Congress. A Federal Grand Jury was still taking evidence. Philip Musica, ex-convict, the “big brother” of the family who killed himself when he was trapped last week, was buried yesterday in Brooklyn under the name of F. Donald Coster, which. he assumed in 1920 to conceal h criminal identity and invade the world of high finance to perpetrate the swindle of the generation. ‘His widow deferred to the impersonation to the extent of ordering the birth date 1884 engraved on his tombstone. That was the date of birth he gave himself in the biography he wrote for Who's Who. He was actually born in Italy in 1877, the son of a barber, and emigrated with his parents at the age of 6. Thomas E. Dewey, New York dis-
Pawley said, was|
trict attorney, buttressed Federal charges already pending against the three surviving brothers by securing their indictments yesterday on 12 counts of theft, forgery and fraud. He charged that they had drained at least $3,903,103 out of McKesson & Robbins in commissions on $16,259,374 worth of faked sales for the crude drugs department, an autonomous branch of the firm, under = Coster-Musica’s personal | supervision, which was actually nonexistent although it was supposed to hold 18 million dollars of the company’s assets. . This money was paid out to dummy corporations, which were only mailing addresses, for supplies for the crude drugs department and for commissions on sales which these corporations suposedly made for that department.
. Overtures to Mexico %
Mr. McMahon said that it appeared certain a ter today’s testimony that oster-Musica had actually tried to deal in arms and munitions, and this was further borne out last night when Alfred R. Shrigley, Mexican consul at Boston, informed Federal agents thaf agents of Coster-Musica had tried
‘to sell T.ee-Enfield rifles to his Government, through him, in 1937. There also was evidence, of an undisclosed nature, that Coster-Musica had smuggled arms to Bolivia for its war with Paraguay, and that he had shipped arms to Loyalist Spain in crates labeled “milk of magnesia.” The company was placed today in charge of Charles F. Michaels, executive vice president. He was one of two trustees appointed by Federal Court in receivership proceedings, but resigned because of a possible conflict of interests. The questioning of directors was expected to bring out for the first time, how their ex-convict president had won their confidence to the extent of staving off an investigation from the time the firm was incorporated in 1928, and how he had duped the smartest Wall Street financiers who backed him with loans of 20 million dollars and floated 16 million dollars’ worth of his securities. Samuel Reich, Coster-Musica’s counsel, said @yesterday that the “master mind” had done nothing
the corporation 18 million dollars and that the rest of the operations were intended only to cover this inflation.
Hold Youth on Mysterious Tip
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 20 (U. P.). —A young man arrested here on a mysterious tip by telegraph today was ordered held in $25,000 bail, and detectives said they believed he was involved in gun-running activities of Philip Musica. The man identified himself as Richard Mittman. G-Men and customs officials immediately began questioning him.

volved in financial difficulties, and friends formed a pool of $350,000 to extricate him, replacing allegedly worthless paper and repaying $155,000 which it was charged, had keen taken from funds of the Indiana
Board of Agriculture. An investigation was launched by the Marion County Grand Jury and he was indicted on charges of embezzlement, larceny, forgery, obtaining money on false pretenses and making a false statement of his financial condition. A jury failed to agree and the charges were dropped.
Indicted by U. S. Jury
He was then indicted by a Federal Grand Jury on a charge of violating national banking laws and using the mails to defraud. He was convicted April 29, 1924, and on the following day resigned as Governor. Sentenced to a 10-year term in the Federal Prison at Atlanta, he was pardoned after three years and returned to Indiana and his Orchard
Lake stock farm. Just before Christmas of 1930, President Hoover granted him a full pardon and restored his civil rights, The following year he app&red on the rostrum of both the House and
Senate during the 1931 Legislature]
and was greeted with cheers.’ Interested in Education During his term as Governor, he was successful in increasing appropriations- for education, the basis was laid for development of State
‘highways, the gasoline tax law fvas
passed in the face of strong opposition, State aid for poorer school districts was increased and the teachers’ pension law was rewritten. He refused to allow the Jack Dempsey-Billy Miske heavyweight title bout at Michigan City on July 4, 1923, because of an opinion of the State attorney general. His last act before resigning was the pardoning of a life prisoner at. the State prison. Funeral arrangements are to be
announced later.

Expert ‘Guide Freed From Jail to Aid Rescue of Castaways.
UNEAU, Alaska, Dec. 20 (U. P.). —Nels Ludwigson, a “bum” yesterday, was a hero today as he - guided 16 shipwrecked seamen to safety over the rugged terrain of
| storm-swept Cape Fairweather.
. Released from jail after serving half of a 10-day sentence for being drunk and disorderly, Nels was given a friendly slap on the back by his Jailers. “You bring ’e back, Ne they said. “You're the one t 2 can do it.” : He is acknowledged one of ‘the . best woodsmen in the North. So Nels climbed into Sheldon Simmons’ seaplane. A few hours later, amid snow and sleet, they circled over the wreck of the trading ship Patterson, which went aground eight days ago. Mr. Simmons, veteran of many Alaska mercy flights, landed near the 18 survivors. Nels was left to guide most of the party to Lituya Bay, 25 miles to the south. Mr. Simmons took aboard two others who were ill and returned to Juneau,

‘tioh of the population least able to finance such care. In announcing the decision of the Government to press for criminal indictments, Mr. Arnold explained that such procedure seemed the only method to resolve issues raised in the situation. Although the specific test of applicability of antitrust statutes to the medical profession was based on the District of Columbia cooperative, the issues raised are of nation-wide significance. Outcome of the case is expected to determine the fate of co-operative medicine in the United States—and ultimately may have far-reaching effects on every individual practicing medicine or receiving medical care. In this connection, the indictments extended beyond the environs of the District of Columbia— embracing the five .Chicage individuals and the Harris County Medical Society of Texas. The third medical group named in the indictments was the Washington Academy of Surgery, another group associated with the A.M. A.. The Government's move against the A. M. A. for antitrust indictments coincided with proposals for a far-reaching program of medical assistance to the lower third of the nation’s: population, expected to be sent to Congress early next year by President Roosevelt. The President’s committee to coordinate heaith and welfare activities, headed’ by Miss Josephine Roche, has outlined a 10-year program of co-operation by State and Federal governments which contemplates an expenditure of $850,000,000 annually for such assistance. This program, however, still is in. tentative form and exact outline of what proposals may be presented to Congress bas yet to be developed. .

CHICAGO, Dec. 20 (U. P.)—Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the American Medical Association’s: Journal, issued the following statement today in ‘connection with indictments. returned by a Federal Grand Jury at Washington: “The House of Delegates of the American Medical Association has authorized the Board of Trustees to defend this case to the limit.”

unions were engaged in a at
with contractors building houses in the subdivision, but had no direct relationship with persons who had bought houses in the district. The appeal ‘against ' the interlocutory temporary injunction was brought by the unions. Declaring that if the unions’ theory as to its right to conduct this type of picketing: was sound, the Supreme Court said: “Any person, under this reasoning having a labor dispute with a small factory on the outskirts of the City of Muncie might blockade and picket the entire city, and the property of those with whom they had no labor relationship, or they might picket some other city.” “The Supreme. Court further said
that because unions are engaged in
a labor controversy they cannot bring third persons into the dispute. The unions claimed that the persons with whom they had the dispute had attempted to abrogate the workers’ right of picketing by having third persons bring the injunction action. In the case in question the Court said there was no proof that the property owners “were acting for anyone but themselves.” “Courts cannot act upon the assumption that a state of facts exists which has not been proved, and which there has been no effort to prove,” the opinion, written by Judge Michael Fansler, said. Rules on Gary Case The Supreme Court also denied the contention that courts have no jurisdiction to enjoin a labor union because it is an unincorporated organization. . In a second case involving the ousting of the Gary police officers, the Supreme Court said that lower courts do not have to make a separate findings of facts in cases of this type which have been heard by city boards unless the board’s ruling shows evidence of fraud or illegality. Cecil M. Lloyd and Albert I. Lichtenfeld were discharged from the -police .department by the Gary Board of Public Works and Safety after the fatal shooting of Jack McClure on June 15, 1937. According to the evidence heard by the Board, the two officers stopped to question McClure while
he was cleaning his fingernails with |
a penknife... They ordered him to put down the knife and when he refused, the Board said, McClure
Upholds Lower Court Both men appealed the decision of the Lake County Superior Court upholding ‘the ruling of the Board of ‘Public ‘Works and Safety on the
- |grounds ‘ that the lower court did
not permit introduction of all the evidence as ina criminal case. The Supreme Court said the lower court was not obliged to follow this procedure. The Supreme ‘Court, in reversing an opinion of the Newton County Circuit Court, held that persons engaged in commercial hauling of fertilizer were not exempt from obtaining carrier's permits from the Indiana Public Service Commission. This case was appealed by Don Stiver, State Safety director, and other State officers after Clarence E. Holley received a judgment in the lower court. Finding that the law does exempt farmers hauling supplies or commodities, the Supreme Court said that this case involved a commercial hauler transporting manufactured products. An original _habeas corpus peti-
tion also was senied by: the Su-|
preme Court. is petition was filed by Mrs. Elsie Adams on behalf of her brother, Noah Spurlock; sentenced to the State Prison from the Warrick County Circuit Court to a life term for second-degree murder.
