This was the good news J. H. Armington, United States weather bureau head, gave to heat-harassed Indianapolis today. The heat wave which Wednesday brought a high temperature of 95 degrees, equaling the high temperature mark of the summer, will end tonight, he said, with ccftler winds. Temperatures tonight should be somewhat lower and tomorrow should be at least ten degrees cooler, the mercury staying at about 80 degrees, he said. Sohools Closed Asa result of the continuance of the heat today. Superintendent Charles F. Miller closed all city schools at noon until Monday. Many principals had asked the action, Miller said, because of the “punishment” the children were forced to endure in the torrid classrooms. Two persons were overcome by the heat here today. Although morning temperatures were lower than Wednesday, by 1 p. m. the mercury had mounted to 92, the same as at ip. a Wednesday.

Falls From Bicycle Stanley Morgan, 17, of 1324 Bradbury Ave., a collector, was overcome and fell from his bicycle in the 700 block Virginia Ave. He was taken to his home. The cooler spell should last at least several days in Indiana. Althought the season is far advanced, there may be another hot spell in its wake, because “all things are possible with the weather,” Armington said. In 1891, he pointed out, a heat spell which lasted from Sept. 16 to Sept. 27 brought temperatures above 90 each day. September’s highest temperature was in 1899, when the high mark of 98 was reached Sept. 5, 6 and 7. Wednesday’s Jiigh mark of 95 was the hottest Sept. 14 in the city’s history, however.

DUVALL TOOKSI4,SDO, THEN BROKE CAMPAIGN PLEDGES, SAYS ARMITAGE, ON STAND Promised Former City Hall Boss the Appointment of Three Officials, Then Reneged, Witness Declares. STICKS TO STORY IN HIS CROSS-QUIZ % Defense Attempts to Paint Black Picture of Witness in His Own Words; Trip to ' Illinois Is Described. (Opening statements and Armitage detailed testimony on Page Three) With his own words attorneys for the defense this afternoon attempted to paint a black picture of William H. Armitage as a squealing briber as they cross-examined him in the trial of Mayor John L. Duvall upon charges of violating the corrupt practices act. Armitage, however, calmly stuqk to his amazing story of bartering with Duvall for appointments at city hall which would have placed him in position to enhance his wealth.

Armitage this morning had told all the details of the agreement he said he had with Duvall that in return for $14,500 in campaign contributions and his .political support Duvall was to permit him to name two board of works members and the dry civil engineer The State charges Duvall failed to list this contribution and the promise in his 1925 campaign expense account. Attorney Michael A. Ryan, who has a bellows voice and belicose appearance, thundered sarcastic questions at Armitage in an apparent attempt to ruffle him. Ryan tried, unsuccessfully, to make Armitage admit that he had dogged the steps of Duvall trying to get Duvall to make an agreement with him, and that finally he had offered Duvall $20,000 for the appointments, to be indignantly refused by Duvall. Duvall got cold feet after he was elected and declared he could not go through with the deal arid sent $12,000 back to Armitage, the witness declared on direct examination. $2,500 Still Missing Armitage told of having tried to get the $2,500 balance back, without success.

The State, in Introducing this testimony apparently was attempting to block the defense’s chief line of attack, as indicated in Attorney Martin Hugg’s opening statement Wednesday. The defense declared it would show that Duvall gave Armitage back $12,000 and declared he would not barter in city jobs. The State apparently was attempting t 9 establish the point that Duvall did not give back part of the contribution until after he had at least had use of the money through theicritical campaign period when it was needed. Armitage Is Calm Armitage testified for two hours and ten minutes. Then the defense began cross-examination, in general going back over his direct statements in an attempt to elicit contradictions. Armitage, mopped his brow and stood the ordeal calmly. The deals with Duvall were traced in minute detail by Armitage. He safid they began on primary day in 1925, when Duvall proposed that they get together. Later they met and arranged that for a SIO,OOO contribution Armitage was to name the men he wanted.' The witness told of turning over the SIO,OOO in two lots of $5,000 currency at meeting places in Indianapolis. He said he gave $4,500 more In various lots later when Duvall appealed to him. He said SSOO of this was donated by William H. Freeman, whom Armitage wanted named on the board of works. Lingenfelter His Candidate Frank C. Lingenfelter, who served as city engineer for two months before he disagreed with Duvall and was ousted early this year, was Armitage’s candidate for engineer and Ernest L. Kingston, fornpy member of the board of safety, ..as the other Armitage choice for board of works. Duvall won the election. Armitage said it was agreed he should meet Duvall in the Fifth ward election day. Bill waited all day, but John failed to appear. Bill investigated that night and learned from one of Duvall’s brothers-in-law that John had fle4 to Pekin, 111. Armitage drove through the rain all night and reached Pekin in the morning. William C. Buser, another Duvall brother-in-law, saw him In the hotel lobby and warned him to get out of sight, as Indianapolis newspaper men were there, he said. Go to Springfield So Armitage, Duvall and Buser drove to Springfield, 111. There Duvall Informed Armitage that “he just couldn’t” go through with the deal. Armitage argued a while and then came back to Indianapolis. A few days later Buser delivered a pocketful of bills to Armitage at the latter’s home, according to Bill. Armitage said he took to city hall, showed them to Lew

! Shank, then mayor, and then to persons in the city controller’s office. Eventually he went to his own office in the Castle Hall Bldg, and counted the roll. It contained $12,000, he testified. When he talked with Duvall about the balance, he said, he remarked to Duvall that he "might stub his toe” over this money business. Made Promise;; Broke It Armitage declared that early this year, when the board of works was reorganized, Duvall promised to name Freeman, but backed out again. The witness said that when, after he had been before the Marion County grand jury in the political corruption inquiry, he told Duvall he had not “said anything,” Duvall told him, “I’ll never forget you ” As court opened this morning. Juror Bernard Batty, named spokesman by his fellows, appealed to the court for better accommodations for the jurors and for night sessions, so the farmers and business men can get back to their private interests sooner. Up to Lawyers The court promised relief as to accommodations, but said as to night sessions: “We’ll have to take that up with this bunch of lrreconcilables out here,” waving toward the lawyers. Batty pointed out that last night the jurors and bailiffs were quartered in the Washington Hotel in three communicating rooms. In two of the rooms five men 3lept upon cots. Batty said the jurors would like to have arrangements for only two men to a room. Shirley said this might be done if enough rooms with doors opening between them could be found. The jurors cannot be housed in separate, uncommunicating rooms, he said. Out of Touch With Business Batty remarked: There are no bar flies or curbstone loafers on this (Jury. We are inconvenienced by not being able to get in touch with our families or to take care of our business.” Judge Shirley warned him he was getting on ground on which it was not proper for a juror to tread and Batty said he had made the remark merely by way of leading up to the plea that night sessions be held so the jurors could get away as quickly as possible. Armitage was outside the door ol the courtroom when Duvall and hi. chauffeur, Arthur Reeves, arrived. Duvall said, “Hello, Bill.” Bill replied, “Hello, John.” CARROLL CHEERED UP Theatrical Producer May Get Parole Actiort in Fall.
