Law Point Raised
In Trial of Burr
Invoked for Fricke
Court Refuses to Strike Out
Alleged Confessions; Ten
Cheeks to Roediger Are i
Identified by Employe '
A point in law not passed on since
the trial of Aaron Burr was brought up ;
yesterday before Judge Julius M. ;
Mayer in the federal District Cour*
where Albert Paul I-'ricke is being tried ,
for treason.
Thomas J. O'Neill, counsel for Fricke,
moved that the court declare a mistrial
and order the three alleged confessions
of his client stricken from the record.
He contended that these documents
should not have been admitted in evi?
dence until the prosecution had pro?
duced the testimony of two v.. nesses
to one overt act. Mr. O'Xeill then cited
the case of the United States against
Aaron Burr and read ino the record
the opinion of Chief Justice John Mar?
shall on that case in IS1.'?. Justice Mar?
sha!! thus expressed himself:
"No testimony relative to the conduct
er declarations of the prisoner else
?? hete and subsequent to the transac?
tion on Blennerhassett.'s Island can be
admitted because puch testimony, being
in its nature merely corroborative, and
incompetent to prove the overt act in
itself is irrelevant until there is proof
of the overt act by two witnesses."
Judge Mayer declined to reverse his'
former ruling. He stated, however,
that if at the close of the case the
prosecution failed to prove the overt \
act by two witnesses the result of the j
proceedings would be apparen*. He
also denied a motion by Mr. O'Neill to
have the three alleged confessions
stricken from the record. These were
admitted ovr-r the protests of the de?
fence last week.
Charles E. West, a bookkeeper for?
merly employed by Fricke, was the
most important witness of the day. He
testified to ten checks, aggregating
$10,000, which he had paid to Carl
Roediger, the alleged German spy, in
1917. He ewore the checks were signed
by Fricke and that he himself,.after
cashing them, had turned the money
over to Roediger. West testified that
after the arrest of Roediger :?>, L918
Fricke informed him (West) that he
had lent the alleged spy $3,000 per
gonally to get rid of him.
The trial will be continued this
morning.

Billion in Taxes Paid

Roper Says People Are Not
Waiting To He Forced to
Add to Revenue
LOUISVILLE, April 16. More than
$1400,000,000 has been collected as
the first instalment of tax payments,
due one month ago, it was disclosed
by Daniel C. Roper, Internal Revenue
Commissioner, in an address hero be?
fore the Southern Wholesale Dry Goods

The fact that this was done within
seventeen days after the President had

IT MAY be s distant leap from Victory

tain, of Bridgeport, Conn., doesn't j
think so.
La Momain approached Lieutenant
Young, of the West Forty-seventh
Street station yesterday and said:
"I just came down from Bridgeport on
my bicycle to sell these worms, and I'm
going to invest the proceeds in Victory
bond-."
Then the young man exhibited a box '
containing 500 blood worm.- and 100 .
sand worms. Even he doesn't know
their market value. But. he does know
the price of the bonds.

*? irolman Holaban, of the Traffic
Squad yesterday of the driver of an au- j
tomobile who. according to the patrol?
man, was operating his vehicle at Sixty
third Street and Broadway in a reckless
manner.
''Luck," answered the operator of the
machine.
"Don't kid me." the patrolman replied.
"You almost ran down several pedes?
trians."
"Luck is my name, and lucky is my
nature," the man replied.
"Well, you are out of luck now." Pa?
trolman Holahan countered, and he had
his prisoner drive to the West Sixty
eighth Street station, where a charge
of driving an automobile in an intoxi?
cated condition in violation of the traffic
laws was made against him.
At the station house the prisoner de- i
scribed himself as Carl A, Luck, a chauf?
feur, thirty-two years old, of 210 West '<

promised to he the wifo of Livington

north and the accompanying gloomy
chill yesterday blighted the last vestige
of tho romance, that began under the
more auspicious skies and conditions.
A few hours after .Mr. Sturges, inter?
viewed by the father of Se?orita Lain?
?esta, had told the irate parent he had
no intention of marrying the young
woman, Sturges was a prisoner of
Deputy Sheriff:? Murphy and Eisen?

suit. The hurry in bringing the action
and obtaining an order of arrest, so
oon after Mr. Sturges's final declara?
tion that h<- would not go through with
hi? alleged promise, ?.van due t<> the fact
that he was to leave to-day for New
Orleans and there take steamer for

The gate cost about $1,000.

District Atlorney
Subp?iiaes Haggin
In Art Fund Inquiry
Portrait Painter is Asked to
Explain Why He Did Not
Turn Over Proceeds of
Exhihit to War Orphans
Ben Ali Haggin, the portrait
painter and hcii to his grandfather's
large estate, was questioned yesterday
by Assistant. District Attorney Edwin
P, Kili-oe about the proceeds of an
exhibition of paintings given a year
ago last month in the art galleries of
Jacques Seligmann ?fi Co., 707) Fifth
Avenue, for the benefit of destitute
families of French artists in the war.
Eugene Glaenzer, member of the
Seligmann firm, said he gave free use
of his gallery to Mr. Haggin, with the
understanding that a commission on
the sale of paintings ami the proceeds
of the sale of catalogues, which cosl
$1 each, should be turned over to be
forwarded by Mr. Seligmann to Pan-.
Mr. Glaenzer said Mr. Haggin never
had turned over the money or replied
to letter/.
Mr. Haggin did not respond to tin
subpoena, but, over the telephone,
said he had sold no paintings as a re?
sult of tin- exhibil and therefore
there was no money to turn over.
He said he had not agreed to de?
vote the proceeds of the catalogues
and referred Kilroe to the fly leaf in
them, which explained that u commis?
sion on sales of paintings would be
devoted to the French war sufferers.
Mr. Glaenzer told Mr. Kilroe that
two young women who sold the cata?
logues during the two weeks of the
exhibit, explained to buyers thai I eir
dollar would be used as war charity.
Mr. Kilroe was obliged to leave the
city yesterday for several weeks. The
investigation will continue when he
! returns. ?1

It brings the joys of the finest
music into every home it. enters.
The AMPICO ?s a mechanism,
built into tlie CHICKERING and
other pianos, which reproduces
with absolute fidelity the actual
piano playing of great artistes.
Rachmaninoff and Levitski, two
of the niresent season's sensa?
tions- following in the footsteps
of a hundred other great pian?
ists - have awarded to tho AM?
PICO the palm of pre-eminence
?wer all other reproducing

Mr. Loesser will play
Liszt's transcription of Schu?

Liszt's Rhapsody No. 15.
And Hi.- AMPICO will re?
produce Mr. Loesser's for?

led ion.
The purpose of this com?

tho almost uncanny capacity
of the AMPICO to repro?
