HO KILLER GOES ON TRIAL — Young Negro Goes On Trial In Chicago For Attack-Murder Chicago, July 26 (U.R> Robert Nixon, 18-year-old negro, who admitted five attack-murders and then repudiated the confessions, went on trial in criminal court today on a charge of slaying Mrs. Florence Johnson. 34, wife of a city fireman and mother of two children. Nixon Is accused of having bludgeoned Mrs. Johnson with a brick after entering her South Side apartment with Earl Hicks, 19, a negro, last May 27. Hicks pleaded guilty yesterday to a murder charge and promised to testify in the state's behalf against Nixon. Each had accused the other of actually wielding the death weapon. Assistant State's Attorney Wilbert F. Crowley indicated that Hicks would escape the death penalty if he testifies, but added emphatically that under no circumstances would the death penalty be waived against Nixon it he Is convicted. Nixon pleaded not guilty when arraigned a month ago and a sanity jury subsequently found him sane. The youth was arrested as police sped to Mrs. Johnson's home to investigate her murder. After being given the Bible and ice cream, he confessed to the crime. Investigators followed the same procedure and Nixon subsequently admitted the attack murders of Mrs. Florence Thompson Castle in her “loop" hotel room in June 1936. Mrs. Edna Worden and her 12-year old daughter Marguerite at Los Angeles, Calif., in April 1936 and Miss Anne Kuchta, 18-year old Chicago hospital nurse, last August. Later, he repudiated these confessions and one in which police I quoted him as saying he had atI tacked Miss Virginia Austin, designed for a New York doll firm, in her “loop" hotel room last summer. Thomas McCall of Chicago had i been convicted of the Austin crime and sentenced to five years in the state penitentiary last January. McCall was freed a month ago after a one-hour re-trial. o INDIANA SENATE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ■ for speedy approval.

Jenner, however, charged that there was no definite word from PWA to this effect and that the 1 legislature was taking the word of district.

Lee O’Daniel and his family celebrate victory at their Ft. Worth home. O'Daniel, wealthy flour salesman who campaigned with a “hillbilly” band an i » platform based on the Ten Commandments, defeated 11 : opponents after waging a sensational if unorthodox campaign. The Democratic nomination in Texas is tantamount to election.

! a couple of administration I "snoopers,” Thurman Gottschalk, state welfare director, and Edward Brennan, state budget director. • Jenner also assailed the state’s ' proposed institutional building pro- ' gram as a plan to “buy votes" in the November election. Meanwhile, it appeared today , that the senate might recede from its intention of slashing the proposed expenditures for the state's institutional building program. ' After conferences with Gov. M. Clifford Townsend yesterday, seni ate leaders asserted that improve- , meats planned at Purdue and Indi- ’ ana universities. Ball State and Indiana State colleges and at three . armories probably w'ouid be abandoned. These would reduce the state’s share in the projects by approximately $1,255,000. Today, however. Senator E. Curtis White of Indianapolis, senate ■ majority leader, said that negotiations still are being conducted over| ' these projects and they might be ' i included in the appropriation bill ‘ | after all. | The appropriation bill, already I passed by the house, will be a speI I cial order of business in the senate 1 at 3 o’clock this afternoon. The $2,000,000 county welfare aid bill ■ will he a special order at 2 p. m. This morning the senate is tack1 ling the southern Indiana tuber--1 culosis sanitorium bill and the 1 “windshield" gadget" law repealer. White said that tremendous pres-! I sure was being exerted on the sen-; ate to include the educational insti-1 tutional imporvements. particularly! at Purdue and Indiana, both of l which are providing a share of the I cost in addition to the funds from ; the state and federal governments.l Governor Townsend, White indi-; ’ cated. has no disposition to “crack down" on the legislature as long j as it confines itself to the original Institutional construction program drawn by the administration. White pointed 1 out that the edu-, cational improvements were inII eluded in the governor's original li program. | So White said that the legisla- [ tine may change its mind again. and go through with virtually the I entire construction program as outI lined by Townsend. |
