Witness' Memory. Fails at
Critical Moment and
Story Unrevealed
"Unknown Person" Bobs up
Again; Seabury Aide is
Placed Under Fire
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER. Al
bany. N. Y., Aug. 25. (AP) -A
witness flagging memory avert
ed the public exposition tonight
of a discussion of Mayor Walker's
private life which took place at
a closed hearing of the Hofstadter
legislative committee.
Jacob Gould Scnurman, Jr.,
former aid to Samuel Seabury,
was asked by John J. Curtin.
Walker's counsel, at a night ses
sion of the Walker ouster hear
ing:
"What was It that prompted
the remark of Mr. Block (Paul
Block, the publisher) 'Are you
investigating Mr. Walker's public
life or private life?' "
Scnurman said he didn't "re
member very well," and added
"In Justice to Mayor Walker I
would rather not say."
"Don't spare me," Walker, sit
ting at his counsel table, called.
When Curtin pressed the ques
tion, Schurman said "I don't re
member."
Says Block Revealed
Jimmy's private Life
Schurman, replying to Sea
burr's questions, said Block vol
untarily gave information about
the mayor's private affairs. The
witness explained this was given
while the official stenographer
was out of the room.
Seabury had called Schurman
to answer Mr. Block's testimony
that he had seen a missing check
for $7500, which was made out
to the "unknown person" in the
case and which had been drawn
on the Block-Walker stock market
account. A facsimile of the check
was printed In a New York news
paper. Schurman said the Seabury
staff never had the check,, only
the-stub. After Curtin had asked
Schurman if he knew "a man
named Haberman" who had work
ed for the Sailing W. Baruch
brokerage house, was related to
a member of the Seabury group,
Seabury asked:
"Now may I ask if Mr. Curtin
means to insinuate that an em
ploye of Baruch and Company,
who stole a check from them is
related to a member of my staff?"
"I'll answer that at the proper
time," Curtin replied.
Seabury then called Philip L
Haberman, one of his assistants,
who said he had no relatives at
any time employed by the Baruch
company.

2-1 Board of Control
Division Revised
Beyond indirect declaration by
Governor Meier that he would rig
orously oppose the discharge of
William Einzig, state purchasing
agent, and might, on the other
hand, release damaging material
against Rufus C. Holman, state
treasurer, no developments arose
yesterday here in the Holman
Einzig squabble at the statehouse.
Governor Meier was not at his of
fice but kept in touch with the
situation here by telephone.
Holman had previously an
nounced that he would carry the
Einzig matter to the state board
of control and there demand the
purchasing agent's dismissal.
Whether he will risk open war
fare with the governor and the
possibility of reprisals is uncer
tain.
Hal E. Hoss, secretary of state,
has issued no statement on the
affair to date. He is expected to
pursue a neutral policy, declaring
that he did not vote to give Ein
zig the job and will not now vote
to oust him. If he sides with
Holman he will further antago
nize Meier who already Is said to
be favorable to the defeat of Hoss
at the November elections. If he
remains neutral in the Einzig
scrap or sides with Meier, he may
smooth the waters somewhat be
tween him and the chief execu
tive.
Holman spent the day In Port
land. Einzig continued with his
work at the capitol. No board of
control meeting will be held until
next week.

In Moonshine
. SPOKANE. Wash., Aug. 25
(AP) Housewives washed their
dishes in moonshine, and the for
bidden liquid ' sprayed out of noz
zles onto grateful lawns' at Wind
sor community today. All ot which
formed a pretty mystery for the
sheriff's force.
It came to light when one ot
the dishwashing housewives
brought a bottle of her dishwater
to the sheriffs office.
"Hm," observed a deputy,
"moonshine. How come?"
At Windsor he found the water
supply normally came from a com
munity well, capped by a tall
tower and tank. Neighboring lan
cets all oozed moonshine.
The deputy drew a bucket of
liquid out ot the' well. It was wa
ter. He turned on the power pump
and it pumped liquor, quantities
of It.
In the tower the mystery was
solved. It once had served as a
distillery. The operators had
dumped all their liquor during a
previous raid on the community,
and somehow the whiskey had I
seeped Into the drill hole Into
which the pipe leading to the
dump was placed.
By nightfall, the sheriff saw to
It that only sparkling water came I
out of the hole.
