PLOT CASE WITNESS HELD AT LOGANSPORT Former Policeman Faces False Pretense Charge. Bn Times Special LOGANSPORT, Ind., Dec. 28. Tom Deering, 44, former policeman here, whose testimony several years ago resulted in federal prison terms for a Logansport city judge and policeman in a liquor conspiracy case, faces charges of obtaining money under false pretenses. The charge was made by Merl M. Wall, retiring Cass county prosecutor, who arrested Deering at the point of a gun, but refuses to make public details of the case. It is said, however, that Deering is accused of converting to his own use $166 of public money given him by Wall a few weeks ago to make “buys” in a drive on liquor ending in Cass county. Wall was recently appointed an assistant by James M. Ogden, Indiana attorney-general-elect. BARTON MAY GET JOB Only One Candidate Takes Exam for City Combustion Engineer. Frank Barton is expected to be named city combustion ' engineer Tuesday by the board of public safety. He was the only one to take the examination recently for the position. Salary is $3,000 a year. Since no provision was made in the 1929 budget for the position of smoke inspector, it probably will be abolished. James E. Knox formerly held the place.

Knocks and — What Policeman Found Is Mystery; Court Would Not Listen.

BY ARCH STEINEL LAWYERS, attorneys, barristers or in underworldese, “mouthpieces,” can pay their grocery bills, golf club dues or Christmas debts after the success they met Thursday in their daily tourney with Sir Law and Duke Order in the criminal municipal courts. Thursday was “lawing” day for the lawless. Despite the handicap of fooling with Aunt Emma’s cigaret lighter—sent parcel post with “Do Not Open Until Christmas” on it all the way from Oshkosh—the emissaries of Gladstone seemed to have the proper legal wave length, thereby drawing station “DISCHARGE” with greater frequency. Uncle Search Warrant shook hands with the judges, disputed patrolmen’s recitals of arrests with more than the customary affability. For Unc’ was in fine fettle. He decried his abuse, misuse, disuse, until it was questionable whether a dog catcher had the right to stick his hand in a canine kennel to pull out a hound with the rabies—unless he first sought Uncle’s signature before being legally bitten. ts a tt IN the royal tomes—Not tombs, Beatrice—of the city’s ordinances is a law forbidding more than three persons to ride in the front seat of a motor car. With flappers no longer wearing garters the ordinance has become obsolete. Unaware that It is just a little decorative phrase, city motorcycle patrolmen have been arresting auto drivers—but no more—for you can pack an orphanage in your front seat now if you have the orphanage. For Arthur Dinsmore, attorney, obtained the release of his client, Nicholas Hatfield, 19, of 3312 Fall Creek boulevard, when he cited a state statute to Joseph B Markey, judge pro tern, which distinctly said the city was “all wet” when it attempted to control the use of an automobile. Hatfield admitted his auto looked like a “rush-hour” tram but—he went to Butler—and you know how that is? a a A TRADE of jobs in the law-book relationship of “landlord and tenant” almost resulted in Nick Missh, 23 North New Jersey street, not being missed by a butcher-knife in the hands of Harry Tipps, 23, his landlord. Tipps, according to Missh’s testimony. took up the study of his trade —butchering. Missh testified that Tipps, a stone-worker, had decided that he wouldn’t miss Missh if he vacated the room he, Tipps, had been renting him. Missh refused to leave. Tipps, the stoneworker, drew a butcher knife as a persuasive instrument. Missh, the butcher, took to the paving stones and police headquarters. Relationship of landlord and tenand was cemented by attorneys in municipal court with Missh’s acknowledgement, “I don’t want to persecute him—he's just a good mart got drunk.” Judge Markey tapped Tipps for a $lO fine on the tippling charge ami discharged him for brandishing a dangerous weapon. “T WENT to his house,” averred X Harley Jones, police sergeant, in testifying in the trial of Clifford Black, Negro, 27, 326 Puryear street, charged with operating a blind tiger, “and went on the porch, and I knocked on the door ” “I object, I object/ to a recital of what else he did or saw. He had no search warrant,” argued Black’s attorney. The police sergeant never got past that door knock in court. Judge Markey sustained the objection and discharged Black. If Sergeant Jones has found the Kohinoor diamond in the Black home no one will ever know it; so far as court records show he’s still knocking on Black’s door.

THRILL SLAYER IS SOUGHT IN POISONKILLING Ex-Laboratory Employ Is Suspected in Death of Watchman. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—A “thrill slayer” with a psychosis for crime and cold cream was sought today for the murder of Henry S. Gaw, Guggenheim laboratory watchman, the trussing up of two truck drivers and the theft of $46. Police commissioner, Grover A. Whalen, sent detectives in search of James Baker, 22, as the suspect. Baker formerly worked in the laboratory. Like Gaw, he had once served aboard a submarine and worked for the Edison CQmpany, though there is no evidence they met until Gaw early Thursday admitted Baker to the Guggenheim workshop. Find Poisoned Coffee What happened then is conjectural. Two beakers containing coffee were discovered on i. table. Both contained cyanide of potassium One beaker was full, the othef half empty, and Gaw was found dead with cyanide burns in his mouth and throat. Twenty dollars was missing from a cash drawer. Two men, Elmer Mayhew and Chester McCauley, drove up to the laboratory with chemicals from Baltimore. The slayer, with a watchman’s clock over his shoulder, admitted them, felled them with his revolver butt, bound and gagged them and took $26 from Mayhew. then he escaped. Mayhew and McCauley recognized their assailant as a former Guggenheim employe. From their description, the search narrowed down to Baker, who resigned as a laboratory helper three weeks before Gaw was employed last month. “Been Everywhere” Baker once had boasted he wished to be a bandit, detectives learned. Inspector Mulrooney, Whale's new chief of detectives, said: “We understand he had a crime psychosis. We know with whom he had been running around and we are on his trail.” Mulrooney’s detectives said Baker was a Texan who talked Mexican Spanish as well as English. He constantly used a strongly scented cold cream. He claimed to have run away from home when 14 and to have been all over the world. He was described as of powerful physique. The landlady where Baker roomed said he had not been home for several days. PROPORTIONAL VOTE IN MANAGER BILL 0. K.D County Legislators Approve Check on Minorities in New Law. Retention of the proportional representation provision in the proposed city manager bill was tentatively decided upon Thursday night by Marion county legislators at a meeting at the Chamber of Coiqmerce. It was understood that a majority of the delegation favored the new voting system at the meeting. Proportional representation is a system designed to prevent the minority from controlling elections. The Indianapolis City Manager League prepared the bill which included the Cincinnati plan of proportional representation. Legislators from other sections of the state are expected to fight the proposal. The law would apply to cities with city manager form. Invents Quick Auto Starter Bu Times Special ANDERSON.
