MEXICO TO ASK SLAYER’S LIFE, PRISONER NON Charge Mother Superior Is ‘lntellectual Author’ of Crime. BY G. F. FINE United Press Staff Correspondent MEXICO CITY, Aug. 3.—Mexico will demand the life of Jose de Leon Toral for the assassination of General Alvaro Obregon and will seek to imprison Mother Superior Concepcion for twenty years as the ‘‘intellectual author” of that crime. f Correa Nieto, the prosecutor, made that announcement today, pointing out that twenty years imprisonment was the most severe punishment that could be meted out to a woman in the Republic. Correa Nieto, the prosecutor, made that announcement today pointin gout that twenty years imprisonment was the most severe punishment that could be meted out to a woman in the Republic. The announcement came after Toral had been brought to face th~ nun and had insisted she suggested the deaths of General Obregon and Plutarco Cales as a benefit to the nation. Previously at the hearing for those still under arrest—Toral, the nun, Maria Altamira and Jorge Gallardo —the Mother Superor said she might “unconsciously” have induced him to commit the crime. She added she “did not believe he had sufficient courage to take a life.” Nieto said he had discovered that Mother Superior Concepcion and other nuns had been branded on the breast with the insignia “IHS.” This was taken to be the legend in Hoc Signo, and Nieto said he would order an examination of Toral and the others to find if they had been similarly branded. Arguments in the case will begin today. They probably will last for six days after which the trial proper will start before a jury of nine. Should Toral be found guilty his only plea for clemency will be to the president. It was considered probable that Torahs attorneys would make an insanity defense. This came through request Thursday for a physical and mental examination of the defendant. Toral’s father in a recent interview said that his son had suffered early illnesses that might have made him suffer pathological weaknesses and that

Bp United Press CHESTER, 111., Aug. 3.—Dr. Louis Leroy, driving his speed boat “Bogie” up the Mississippi River from New Orleans to St. Louis, crashed into a log thirty miles below here early today and was forced to abandon his attempt to beat the record of the Robert E. Lee. Dr. Leroy arrived here at 8:40 a .m. in his disabled boat and said that It would be impossible for him to make repairs in time to continue the race. At the time of the accident he was running approximately six hours ahead of the 90-hour record established in 1870 by the Lee.

Jose may have committed the crime under influence of other persons. Police meanwhile are conducting a vigilant search for Father Jose Jiminez to whom Toral made confession the morning of the assassination.

Rocks the Boat Charles Burris, 16, of 1358 W. Twenty-Fifth St., learned last night that it doesn’t pay to rock the boat when you can’t swim. The canoe in which Buris and Jimmie Price, 16, of 2502 N. Harding St., were riding was overturned and both lads were thrown into the water. Burris clung to the canoe. Price swam to the shore, ran for help to McClure beach, a block and a half away. George Shillinger, life guard, 2766 Roosevelt Ave., and Walter Bauer, 1251 W. TwentySeventh St., attendant at the dock, went to the rescue. Shillinger pulled Burris from the water just as the youth collapsed.

ORDER WIRES DOWN Five Miles of Insull Line Is Too Close to Road. State Highway Director John D. Williams today ordered the Northern Indiana Power Company, an Insull utility, to remove five miles of electric power line which had been placed too close to State Highjvay 55, near Crown Point, Ind. Wiliams said the company had asked permission to violate the regulation prohibiting poles within 24 feet of the center of a State highway, which was refused. The company proceeded to put up the line, anyway, some poles being in the shoulder of the highway, Williams said. The offending line is between Crown Point and the intersection of Rd. 30 with Rd. 55.
