Friedmann Sued By His Deposed Aide In Turtle Germ Deal
Dr Friedrich Franz Friedmann faces a suit from his formerly deposed adviser Dr Maurice A Sturm seeking 100000 dollars or 5 percent commission on a 2 million deal tied to the so called turtle germ discovery. Sturm claims he arranged introductions and pressuring Eisner to seal a contract while alleging threats against him and demanding Friedmann produce the secret contract. The action names Dr Arthur C H Friedmann as a co plaintiff though his lawyer says he merely contemplated suit. The case notes a tumultuous sequence at the Majestic Hotel and the Ansonia office as process servers delivered papers and Sturm described offers of cash and buildings for a deal that never materialized.

In a dramatic Sunday incident at Fordham Road and Southern Boulevard Bronx, Patrolman Anderson shot and killed a demented prowler who threatened four fleeing civilians including women and children. The dead man, linked to Theodore Koel by family papers, had carried a carving knife and wore multiple garments as bystanders watched in fear. Coroner and hospital officials retrieved the body, while investigators note Greek and English clippings in his wallet. A separate Albany report criticizes Sing Sing prison conditions as dark, damp, vermin-infested and prone to graft, urging reforms at state prisons.
