Jacob Berman and Ed Rosenberg, Julian defendants, are accused of leaving paid bribes to Keyes through Dave and Ben Getzoff, Jack Rosenberg and Charles Reimer. All are on trial except Berman, who was dismissed when he agreed to turn state’s evidence.

Helen McLaughlin lost a leg and $15,000.

Small Girl Loses Leg, Suffers Seven Years and Loses Judgment. Bn United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 10.—High upon his bench in the New York supreme court, a judge blundered— And a 10-year-old crippled girl was deprived of $15,000 that would have helped to compensate her for seven years of suffering! Helen McLaughlin was a child of 3 when she was run down by a careless truck driver and lost her left leg by amputation. Every year sintfe then, while she has been growing. Helen has had to submit to the painful operation of having a new' wooden leg fitted upon her. Her parents, far from well-to-do, confidently had expected a court verdict awarding them damages against the ow'ners of the truck in order that they might pay for Helen’s treatments. When Justice James C. Cropsey and a jury heard Helen’s suit, two defendants were named—a trucking company and a contractor for whom the trucking company was hauling bricks. Justice Cropsey erroneously dismissed the suit against the trucking concern and caused the contractor to be prosecuted, and the jury returned a verdict against the contractor, awarding Helen $15,000 judgment. Now the appellate division of the supreme court has ruled that the

truckers and not the contractor should have been held liable, but that the truckers now are out of reach of the law—all due to Justice Cropsey’s mistake. “This court is powerless to save the infant plaintiff from this miscarriage of justice,’’ the high court ruled, and administered a stinging rebuke to Judge Cropsey. But that didn’t help Helen. TRUSTEE OF TOWNSHIP FACES OUSTER HEARING Tax Board Charges Official in St. Joseph County Is Incompetent. Bit Times Special SOUTH BEND, Ind., Jan. 10.— Joseph Voorde has been cited to appear Jan. 18 before the state tax board to show cause why he should not be removed from office as trustee of Portage township, St. Joseph county. Incompetence, neglect of duty and misconduct in office are charged by the board. Specifically, it is alleged that Voorde failed to get assessment books to County Auditor Fred F. Crowe by June 1 as required by law. Voorde declares that if he is guilty of any law violation on this score, it was because he lacked office space sufficient for a force to work in to get the books ready on time.

HIGH AIDS OF CAPONE FALL IN ‘RACKET’FEUD Cops Hunt Gangland King’s Rival for Latest Killing in Chicago War. BY MERTON T. AKERS United frets Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Jan. 10.—Scarface A1 Capone, dapper king of Chicago gangland, who wears a velvet glove over his mailed fist, still ruled the racketeers today but was seeking a “production manager” to fill the gap caused by the assassination of Pasqualino Lolardo. And Joe Aiello, Capone’s rival who is hacking at the foundations of the king’s throne, was dodging about the country with the ever present Capone gunmen a few jumps behind, augmneted this "’me by the police who want Aiello in connection with the Lolardo murder. A year ago Aiello made his first bid for power in the liquor racket here. He had prospered as an olive oil importer, a favorite occupation of Italia: racketeers. His bank account ws.s large. With a few aids he begs n “muscling in” on Capone’s beer territory. He had a little luck, carrying a few barrels of beer to isolated saloons and collecting for them when Capone’s lieutenants were busy elsewhere. Aiello saw that small operations would not lead to power and profits so he set about to eliminate the “executives” of the Caponfe business staff. Since then four of Scarface Al’s liteutenants have been slain and all the killings are laid at the door of Aiello. Diamond Joe Esposito iyas the first trusted aid of the slight Neapolitan king to meet violent death. Then Tony Lombardo, the pioneer “production manager,” was shot to

death in the heart of the loop one evening as shoppers and’ workers hastened home to dinner. Stubby McGovern shot it out with a gunman in a smart southside cabaret. He was killed along with his pal and co-worker, James (Gunner) McFadden, His death was only indirectly connected with the beer racket, yet it removed another of'the Capone inner circle. * Hard on the heels of the cabaret killing came the assassination of Lolardo in his richly furnished apartment, masked by a dingy, smoke-stained exterior. Lolardo was shot as he drank a toast. Who his companions were in the death toast has not been established, but it was significant that Capone gunmen, always just behind Arrilo, took up the hunt with renewed diligence. Before the Lolardo assassination was twenty-four hours old, the Long Beach (Ind.) summer home of John F. Tyrrell, attorney, was wrecked by a bomb, which police construed as another Aiello move againsi Capone. Tyrell, from time to time, has defended “Dago” Lawrence ivlangano, and other aides of Capone.
