SEEK MRS. X TO ‘TELL ALL’ IN AJMEE CASE Mystery Woman Believed to Hold Key in Trial of Judge Hardy. SISTER IS SUBPENAED Former Police Chief Also Expected to Provide Valuable Tips. BY ELWOOD SQUIRES United Press Staff Corresponde it OAKLAND, Cal., March 26.—Mrs. Lorraine Wiseman Sielaff—known as the mysterious “Mrs. X’’ in thT Aimee Semple McPherson kidnaping case—today entered the impeachment trial of Judge Carlos S Hardy of Los Angeles. Mrs. Wiseman knows “enough to clear it all up, if she will,” was the statement made to the United Press by Mrs. Virla Kimball, sister of “Mrs. X,” who quickly added: “But I don’t know where she is.” Mrs. Kimball has been subpenaed by the senate board of managers to appear at the capital and tell the whereabouts of her famous sister. “I don’t know where Lorrainp is,” Mrs. Kimball said. “But I do know she knows enough to clear it all up, if she will. Sought All Over Country “I’ve telephoned to every one I know—l’ve sent telegrams to Lorraine all over the country and I’ve written innumerable letters, but I haven’t heard a word from her. “Won’t you please broadcast an appeal to Lorraine to please come back and tell what she knows and clear this whole thing?” According to Assemblyman Mel vin Cronin, Mrs. Sielaff is believed by the state to have had many dealings with Judge Hardy, and to possibly have in her possession vital evidence pertaining to the trial’ of the jurist, as well as the kidnaping of Aimee. Mrs. Sielaff gained notoriety almost equal to that of Mrs. McPherson when she admitted she was the mysterious “Mrs. X,” who occupied a love cottage at Carmel-by-the-Sea with Kenneth Ormiston, radio operator of Angelus temple. It had been inferred that Mrs. Sielaff had been “rewarded for making the statement and admitting she was Ormiston’s companion.” Chief May Be Witness W. A. Gabrielson, former police chief of Monterey, near Carmel-by-the-Sea, also was interviewed - in connection with the Hardy trial. “Gabrielson told Cronin that he had been asked by Asa Keyes, then district attorney of Los Angeles county, to investigate reports that Aimee and Ormiston were at Carmel and to withhold findings from the police. “I uncovered enough evidence to satisfy me that Mrs. McPherson and O -miston were at Carmel,” Gabrielson told Cronin. The former police chief, now a sergeant of police at Berkeley, said he had followed Keyes’ Instruction and given information only to a deputy district attorney of Los Angeles county. He said that much of his findings never had been presented to the grand jury investigating Mrs. McPherson’s mysterious disappearance and equally mysterious reappearance.

35 INJURED AS 10,000 RIOT AT BOXING MATCH

0 ■ Huge Crowd Is Thrown Into Panic at Fields-Thompson Chicago Bout. BY BERT DEMBY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, March 26.—Thirtyfive persons were treated for injuries in hospitals today after 10,000 persons were thrown into panic in the Coliseum Monday night as Jackie Fields and Young Jack Thompson fought in a National Boxing Association world’s welterweight championship match. Starting with a fight between two Negroes in the rear of the large hall, the panic spread until the entire crowd was surging about the ring. As many as could leaped through the ropes into tfle ring, stopping the fight in the middle of the eighth round and trampling the boxers. Twelve of the hurt remained in hospitals, their injuries being serious. Roar of collapsing chairs, shouts of men and screams of women added to the din which grew terrific. Faint Crackling Starts Riot The 10,000 spectators were watching the championship fight intently when a faint crackling was heard from the northwest corner of the hall, where the fight between the Negroes started. Before any one comd ascertain the cause, the crackling grew to a rumble, then to a roar, as spectators rushed toward the ring, pushing a wave of collapsible chairs. The crowd in the balcony set up a roar, someone shouting that the building was collapsing, others that a riot had started. A raucous voice shouted: “Let’s get the hell out of here,” and the crowd surged toward the exits. Fighters Are Trampled At this point the fighters went into a clinch and both, obviously excited, turned toward the commo tion. By this time spectators began to leap into the ring. Referee Ed Purdy stepped between the boxers and seconds went to the ring. The press row, overrun by the mob endeavored to work their wires, but spectators climbed wildly through the section and stepping on the backs and heads of the writers clambered into the ring. Someone at the main entrance a few feet from the ring had presence of mind enough to start an organized movement to calm the crowd. A general shout arose from the ring and tl*) main entrance pleading with tfeie cqowd to “stop the riot, nothin** wrong.” The mob was checked momentarily by flashlight explosions set off by photographers near the main entrance. Those An the ring seized the chance and obtained quiet for an instant by beseeching the crowd to behave. Curiously enough, this wild mob, which a minute before had been bent on gettin* out, listened and heeded. Ushers and officials went Into action to force the cfwwd into its seats again. The fight official!! seized this moment to put the fighters back in the ring, and the crowd, sensing again the thrill of a fight, stood still during the remainder of the interrupted eighth round Jind settled into its seats while the boaers rested between the eighth and Ainth rounds. The crowd was on edge during the rest of the bout, but apparently forgot the riot with wild cheering when it saw a home town boy’s hand lifted as welterweight champion of the world. •The Negroes, who started the panic, vanished. No one was arrested. Ambulances and patrol wagons took the injured to hospitals.

OLD MURDER HUNT REVIVED; ARREOTMADE Negro in Baltimore May Be ‘Key Man’ in Killing Here in 1927. INSURANCE AGENT SLAIN Search for Ax Wielder Is Spurred Anew by Police Query. Solution of the mysterious and brutal murder here on Jan. 5, 1927, of Dahlman De Bolt, 50, insurance collector, may result from an inquiry received here today from Baltimore police. De Bolt was found at Darnell and Missouri streets late one afternoon, his skull crushed by two blows of an ax. Broken pieces of the weapon were lyirfg near the body. There were absolutely no clews to the slaying. Baltimore officers are holding as a suspect Norman Kennedy, alias Rogers, a Negro, the inquiry from the Maryland city stated. According to a dispatch to The Times, Norman was arrested on a tip of a “stool pigeon” that he was involved in the ax slaying of some insurance men here. He denies the charge, but is being held on a technical charge pending word from local officers. Picture Sent Here The Baltmiore police sent Kennedy’s picture. Detective Chief Jerry Kinney at once assigned men to canvass the neighborhood of the De Bolt murder with the picture to see if Kennedy ever had lived or had been in the vicinity. The Maryland officers asked full details of any murder with which Kennedy might be connected. Kennedy gives his occupation as that of cook, but said he formerly was janitor here of the Fayette apartments, 804 North Missouri street. De Bolt had been collecting on his insurance rotlte for the Empire Life Insurance Company when slain. Robbery was believed to have been the motive, although $15.20 remained in De Bolt’s overcoat pocket. Insurance company officials said he should have collected SSO or S6O that day. 4 Boy Saw Tragedy A 14-year-old Negro boy on his way to a grocery saw De Bolt’s body on the pavement and a man standing over it, seemingly searching the pockets. * The man, believed to have been a Negro, ran as the boy came by on his return from a store. Claude M. Worley, now police chief, then detective chief, ordered a round-up of all suspicious Negroes. Several scores were held and questioned, but no evidence was found connecting any of them with the r crime. De Bolt was not dead when found, but was horribly mangled and unconscious. He died in city hospital a few hours later. He was survived by the widow. FUGITIVES CAPTURED Two Wanted for Robbery Taken After Year.

sioners will proceed to draft the charges, it was predicted. In the interim, Williams is compiling data to combat the charge of “neglect of duty.” Under Ogden’s interpretation of the law this means failure to comply with commission demands. Williams is expectedto issue a defense manifesto, showing that where compliance was nto made by him it was because the commission demands were not proper, or contrary to what he considered the public weaL The Williams statement sets forth that on March 14 the Governor sent for Chairman Albert J.

EX-MAYOR OUT TO CLEAR NAME Former Gary Executive Seeks Office Again. By Times Special GARY, Ind., March 26.—Political and legal circles here are deeply interested in the fight of R. O. Johnson, former Gary mayor, seeking restoration to full citizenship rights after serving a prison term, so he can legally be a mayoralty candidatein the May 7 primary. Johnson, in a suit filed in East Chicago superior court two, attacks constitutionality of a statute enacted by he 1921 Indiana general assembly, barring from public office any persons conviced under federal law upon which a prison sentence of more than six months is imposed. Convicted in federal court of complicity to violate the national prohibition law, Johnson began serving an eighteen-months term in the United prison at Atlanta, Ga., in April, 1925. In November of the same year he was paroled by President Calvin Coolidge; was given a final discharge on July 12, 1926, and on Feb. 8 this year pardoned by Coolidge. Friends of Johason assert he was “framed” in the liquor case while serving as mayor six years ago. His counsel asserts that the President’s pardon removes from Johnson the disability against holding office prescribed by the Indiana law. James M. Ogden, Indiana attor-ney-general, will uphold the act when Johnson’s case is given a hearing, which probably will be held Frdiay.
