RECORD CROWED
COAST GUARD
ACCUSED IN
LIOUOR CASE
Confession Following Big Dry
Raid in New York City In
volves Government Em
ployees in Rum Running
Plot Patrol Boat Landed
Liquor Crew Bribed.
NEW YORK, Doc. 5. (A. P.)
United States Attorney liuckner is
anxious to learn the Inland distribu
tion system of the huge rum smug
gling syndicate he believes has been
h mashed with the arrest of 21 men
Thursday.
The arrest of William Dwyer, wide-
ly known sportsman and race track
owner and twenty other men, Mr.
Huckner feels has disposed of the At
lantic seaboard operations of the al
leged ring, but toduy he turned his
attention to the disposal of liquor af
ter It was landed.
A complete confession from one of
the six coast guardsmen arrested In
the roundups which began Thursday
Involves prohibition agents and New
York policemen, Mr. Huckner has in
timated. This confession is to be read
to a federal grand Jury Monday with
the expectation that more Indictments
and arrests will follow. Forty-three
indictments have been issued already
at 21 of them served.
In addition to giving passive pro
tection to rum smugglers some United
States coast guardsmen actually as
sisted in rough weather( Mr. Buckner
declared. He said an unnamed pa
trol boat went out to a rum schooner
and brought ashore 300 cases, in one
instance. The boatswain got flOOO
and each member of the crew $240
for this job, he added,
One : item' in. '.the . "greasing! of
wheels for ;' liq'Uor. dlspOHaf'was $4400
for road expenses, as listed In a mem
orandum seized with other papers!
Mr, Huckner Is now trying to find out
who got this money.
A complete code system for com
munication between rum runners and
coast guardsmen was revealed by pa
pers mnon gthe effects of Philip Cof
fey, one of the principal defendants,
described as "pay officer for the syn
dicate," Mr. Huckner said. One note
read:
"When 7 5 foot coast guard boat
plays steady light on schooner, small
er coast guard boats will move away."
Three flashes of a light from a
coast-guard bout was a signal that
the wny was clear to land a cargo.
Mr. Buckner told how one coast
guard officer refused a bribe of $U0,
000 to let a rum boat slip by him.
This man reported the incident to his
superiors and aided materially In
rounding up several coast guardsmen.

Famous Actress Reveals Her
Shattered Romance to Save
Ex-Leading Man From Pen

HAKTFOltD, Conn., Dec. G (A
p.) The Hartford Courant saya to
day that Alia Nazlinova, tragedienne,
has dlacloscd that although sho and
Charles Hryant, formerly her lend
ing man, lived together for 14 yenrs
as man and wife, they never. married.
The admltwlon of a shattered ro
mance apparently has been made to
save the man she loves from pos-'
slblo prosecution for perjury and
bigamy. I
Nazlmova obtained a divorce abroad
from a numdnn, whom she left years
ago. Hryant was married In New '
XIMf.tr,! rrmn hint month In M iHH
Marjorle Ollhooley of Elizabeth, N. .1.1
In applying for a license be
averred tie hud never been married.
Later when it seemed he might face,
arrest because It was thought he had
been married to Nazlmova, Bryant
insisted his statement when getting
the license w;is correct. (
In 1912 there was an announco-j
ment In New York that Hryant and
Naslmova had been married. Vile
spoke tho truth," Kazimova told the ,
Courant when asked If Bryant was
single when he married Miss (ill-J
hooley.
"What Is there to say? Everything
that can be said has been said. Why
should the matter be stirred up
further? Mr. J'.ryant did not per
jure himself. Ho is now happy.
Why bother with the matter?
"That what has happened slnco
Bryant was married tho other day
has greatly hurt me. I have been
living at thu top of a volcano. 1
am worried to death. For the last
several days I have been hunted
like an animal In the woods. ' It
hurts' me to talk uhout this matter.
I cannot talk about It. What is It all
