The trial of suspended State Polo Serge. David J Soule faced an adjournment after the state said an unidentified witness could not be produced. Special Prosecutor Edward W. Scully paused proceedings until 10 am. Soule testified that beetles were poked down his back by troopers at Hawthorne barracks in what he called a torture chamber.

Soule read a statement alleging $1300 from Earl C Stacks in 1941 and $1500 in 1942 with later cash loans, while Stacks faces bribery and forgery charges.
