Bridges’ Bond
Remains At $5,000
SAN FRANCISCO, (&)—Harry
Bridges will remain at liberty on
$5,000 bail and the government
will not- press its demand for a
bail increase to $100,000, govern
ment attorneys said Friday.
The CIO longshore chieftain is
under indictment by a federa’
grand jury on charges of perjury
and conspiracy. He is accused of
swearing falsely he was not a
communist at the time of h s nat
uralization in 1945.
Thursday, Bridges sought per
mission to attend a labor confer
ence in France. His request was
denied. At that time, government
attorneys demanded the higher
bail figure.
But, Friday, a governm e n t
spokesman said the instructions
from Washington under which the
higher bail was demanded had
been garbled in transit. Actually
the spokesman said, the govern
ment intended to ask the higher
bail only in the event Bridges was
given permission to go abroad.

“Frame-Up” At
Espionage Trial
i
Judith Coplon rested Saturday
from her gruelling role as star
witness in her own espionage trial.
The trial, highlighted by her
screams of “frame up” and accu
stions that a government prosecu
tor was “trying to brand me a |
harlot,” was recessed Friday.
Defense attorney Archibald Pal
mer indicated he would not call j
her back to the stand when it re
sumed today.
In that event the 28-year old
former justice department politi
cal analyst may know her fate by
the end of the week.
A jury of eight men and four
women must decide if she is guil
ty of stealing government secrets
to try to pass to Russia. She is
accused of having had these in
her handbag when FBI agents
arrested her and Valentine A. Gu
bitchev, a Russian engineer, in
New York, March 4.
Two other trials stemming from
alleged activities in subversive
fields also were recessed until to
day in New York.
In one, Alger Hiss, one-time
state department official, is charg
er with perjury in denying he
passed government secrets to
Whittaker Chambers, self-styled
courier for a prewar Red spy ring.
In the other, 11 communist
party leaders are charged with
conspiring to advocate overthrow
of the U. S. government by vio
lence.
Intended Victim
Trips Up Gay
Aged Lothario
—
CHICAGO i/P)—Sizmund Z. En
gel, who for 50 years has wooed
gullible widows and fleeced them
of their fortunes, was tripped up
by one of his intended victims Fri
day.
The dapper, aged Lothario,
whose suave talk and glib manner
earned him a reputation as an in
ternational confidence man, was
seized in a police trap in a Michi
gan Avenue shop.
Mrs. Genevieve Parro, 55-year
old widow, led the 73-year-old En
gel into the police net as they
went to the shop to buy luggage
for a proposed holiday trip.
Mrs. Parro became suspicious of
the smooth talking Romeo—who
posed as Paul Marshall, a wealthy
Evanston resident—after he start- !
ed a whirlwind courtship with her
earliei* last week. She notified po
licewoman Marian Hagen, her
sister-in-law. The arrest followed.
Police said Engel in his state
ments denied he ever had married
any of the women he had taken
money from.
“Only King Solomon could
marry that many,” he said.
"I am always a gentleman,” he
added. "And a gentleman is a
man who knows right from
wrong, except in matters concern
ing money. After all. all I’ve done
in taking women’s money is noth
ing that the politicians don’t do
every day.”
