ONE OF EIGHT IN
SHAKEDOWN TRIAL
L. Kaufman, Union Official,
Not His Partner, is Testi
mony Mistrial Motion.
" New York, Oct. 25 (UJ9
William Bioff testified today
that Louis Kaufman, Newark.
N. J., International Alliance of
Theatrical Stage Employes offi
cial, and one of eight men
charged by the government with
extorting more than $1,000 from
the motion picture industry, had
not been his "partner" In the
shakedown. .......
Bioff said, In answer to ques
tioning by Kaufman's attorney.
J. B. Wegman of New York,
that he had known Kaufman
only through union business and
socially and that he had not been
associated with him in . the
"shakedown." . , s
Mistrial Sought
A motion for a mistrial was
made by Defense Councel James
D. C. Murray after Bioff's etao
oration of an earlier statement
that he had volunteered,; as a
government witness only after
being promised that he would
not be slain and that his family
would not be "put on the spot."
Bioff's statement that be was
"scared" because of (threats
made to the ffliily of George E.
Browner-convicted president of
the Iatse, was stricken from the
record by Federal Judge John
Bright. " -1
During his tenth and last day
on the witness stand, Bioff was
re-examined and cross-examined
by Special Assistant U. S. Attor
ney General Boris Kostelantez
and all defense attorneys. He
became sarcastic during his final
cross-examination by Murray,
who has tried to prove that Bioff
was the sole instigator rather
than, as the government main
tains, the agent in dealings with
the motion picture producers.
"SinceMr. Murray is trying
to prove that I had power over
the producers, "I'll help him
establish that. When I played
the music, they danced."
