DEWEY QUESTION
MISTRIAL BASIS
IN HINES TRIAL
i
Court Recesses Till Monday
After Sensational Query
Rival Counsel Clash,
Pecora Rebukes.
A DAM BEGINS, A TOWN IS BORN
KEW YORK, Sept. 10. (AP) The
Immediate outcome ol the trial of.
James J. Hlnes, veteran Tammany
'district leader, on policy racket
charges bung in doubt tonight as
Supreme Court Justice Ferdinand
Pecora weighed a defense .motion for
a mistrial, based on a question askbd
an important defense witness by D.st,
Atty. Thomas E. Dewey.
The move climaxed a controversial
session, in which Lyon Boston, law
yer and former assistant district at
torney under William C. Dodge, test
ified Dodge assigned him in 1934
to Investigate the policy racket with
especial emphasis on any possible
connection Hines might have with it
Dewey sought to show that Dodge's
assignment of Boston was mere win
dow-dressing," since Boston, a young
man, manifestly lacked the exper
ience needed to get at the roots of
the policy racket.
Dewey was proceeding calmly, and
Boston, who was to catch a ship
for Bermuda, was glancing anxiously
at the clock, when the district at
torney suddenly asked:
"Don't you know that William Fel
lows Morgan. Jr., commissioner of
markets, testified before the grand
Jury about James J. Hlnes connec
tion w.ith the poultry racket?"
Before Boston could reply, defense
council Lloyd Paul Stryker, his face
red, his eyes flashing, was on his
feet.
His voice betrayed the strain of
his excitement and indignation as he
asked for the declaration of a mis
trial. Dewey's question, he said, was
"intentionally prejudicial to the defendant."
Justice Pecora, who clashed with
Dewey numerous times during Bos
ton's cross-examination, looked net
tled. His brows lowered, his Jaw Jut
ted out farther than usual.
"I shall reserve decision," he said
"The court will now take a recess
until Monday morning at 10 o'clock."
He leaned forward and beckoned to
Dewey, whose face was flushed. The
district attorney moved forward to
the bench and Pecora began speak
ing to him In a vigorous undertone.
Stryker's assistant, Harold Shapiro,
said outside of court no memoran
dum would be submitted on the mo
- tlon since "it Is so plain that no
memorandum is needed."
The motion for a mistrial followed
a four-hour session marked by
acrimonious clashes between Dewey
and Stryker. At one point, the prose
cutor protested bitterly that tSrykcr
implied he was not telling the truth.
"Don't be so sensitive, Mr. Dewey,"
interjected Justice Pecora.
The chief defense lawyer turned
coldly on Dewey. "If I think that."
he snapped, "I will say it In plain
English. I won't Imply It. If I have
anything like that to say, I will say
it right out like a man."

NAZI CHIEFTAINS! PRESIDENT SPED
BLAST DEMOCRACY
IN RABID SPEECHES
(Continued from Page One.)
His exposition of the Nazi position
in the Czechoslovak situation was
regarded as so clear, precise and un
mistakable that In the Nazi opinion
further parleys by the British, who
have been seeking a settlement here
and In Prague, seemed superfluous.
Sir Nevlle Henderson, the British
ambassador, did not see Hitler. There
had been reports that he was seeking
directly or indirectly to tell the
fuehrer of the gravity with which
the London government views the
situation.
Goerlng In his speech expressed
contempt for democracies, especially
Britain. , ' .
"It would not be a bad Idea for
the English, before chattering about
peace, to establish peace in their Jew
state (Palestine) down there," he
exclaimed.
Benes Offers Peace
PRAGUE. Czechoslovakia, Sept. 10.
(JP) President Eduard Benes held out
the hand of friendship tonight to
Nazi Germany and appealed for peace
in a broadcast warning that any
clashes In the Sudeten German
Czechoslovak dispute might threaten
the pence of all Europe.
He pleaded with the people to "be
calm" and pledged the government
to work for Justice for all nation
alities. ''
"If Imperialist powers were to enter
Into relations between the national
ities," he said, "a regrettable shadow
would be thrown over the future of
cooperation among them.
"I believe the Gorman people as
well as the Czechs. Slovaks and all
the others truly desire to work to
gether in quiet."
The president's address, broadcast
In the Czech and German languages,
came shortly after negotiations be
tween the government and the Sude
ten Germans over the latter's auton
omy demands were reopened after I
three-day interruption.
Aboard President Roosevelt's Train.
En Route to Rochester, Minn.. Sept. 10
(JP) President Roosevelt kept in close
touch with the International situa
tion today while traveling to the
bedside of his son, James.
James, secretary and confidential
adviser to his father, will undergo
gastric operation Monday at the
Mayo clinic. Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt,
the president's wife, and Betsy,
James' wife, already are at the Ro
chester, Minn., hospital. The prest
dent's Journey westward was broken
only by periodic stops for train oper
ating purposes.
Small crowds gathered at, Collin -
wood, a Cleveland suburb, and at
other points along the route, but the
chief executive made no appearance.
Mr. Roosevelt left the summer White
House at Hyde Park. N. Y., last mid
