‘DEPUTY’ FACES SLAYING TRIAL John Van Hook Death Case Opens in Brazil. BV BEN STERN Times Staff Correspondent BRAZIL, Ind., June 10.—Charging that there is no legal status for deputy constables, the state placed John Van Hook. 43, of Terre Haute, on trial here today for the fatal shooting of Austin Sweet, Terre Haute attorney, April 11. Van Hook, acting as a “deputy constable,” accompanied two game wardens to Sweet's office to serve a warrant for fishing without a license when the slaying occurred. Monday morning was spent in questioning nine prospective jurymen from a special venire of fifty called by Judge Thomas Hutchinson. Defense attorneys challenged six of the veniremen, all farmers, who admitted they l\ad formed previous convictions. Two days will be required to complete the panel, it was said. A five-year hatred is said to have culminated in the shooting. During the 1924 election, it was alleged. Van Hook circulated unfair reports about Sweet. This was followed by numerous arguments in justice courts. On April 11. Van Hook, with Armen Hall and Leland Randall, game wardens, went to Sweet’s office. Sweet protested the presence of Van Hook, calling him a “dirty crook” and telling him to get out of the office, it is alleged. Sweet followed Van Hook from the office, and after an exchange of vile names, it was said. Van Hook took a mace from his pocket, and attempted to strike Sweet. Sweet returning blows with his fists. It is charged that Van Hook then took a .32-calber German revolver from his pocket, and shot Sweet in the head. Sweet died a short time later in the hospital.

HOOVER MAY USE MARINES IN BOOZE WAR Regiment Likely to Help, Border Patrols to Dry Up Detroit. MAJOR SMASH STARTS 27 Additional Vessels Will Ply Lake Erie to Combat Smuggling. BV KENNETH WATSON United Press .Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. June 10.—Coincident with the launching of the drive to stop the increasing flow of liquor through Detroit from Canada, it became known today that President Hoover seriously is considering using marines to aid customs and prohibition officers in their fight. The President has been advised by Assistant Secretary Seymour Lowman and Prohibition Commissioner James M. Doran 4hat conditions in Detroit are theVorst of any in the United States. Both officials are in Detroit today to supervise the launching of organized warfare against the smuggling gangs in which twenty-seven additional coast guard vessels and several hundred more prohibition and customs agents will be used. It is understood that the President believes that the success with which the marines were used several years ago in guarding railway mail cars, coupled with the seriousness of the Detroit smuggling situation, warrants sending a regiment of marines there to aid in the battle to dry up the border. Favors Use of Marines “Marines could be used very effectively at Detroit,” Secretary Lowman said Sunday afternoon, just before he and Commissioner Doran left for Michigan City. “I have ordered every prohibition agent and customs officer who can be spared from his present assignment to report to Detroit immediately and expect to have several hundred men available within the next two days,” Lowman said. Lowman on Saturday ordered Captain M. W. Rasmussen of Buffalo, commander of the Great Lakes division of the coast guard, to send twenty-seven more patrol boats to the west end of Lake Erie to augment the land forces in their battle with the bootleggers. Ten of these will be fast seventy-five-foot boats, each carrying a crew of eight men and a rapid-fire gun, and the remaining seventeen will be patrol boats, carrying six men and similar armament, Detroit “Toughest Spot” Not since the days when the gov- ! ernment launched its spectacular drive against the New' York “rum j row” has there been such interest j displayed by prohibition officials as in the present situaton at Detroit, j “I regard Detroit as the toughest spot in the country as far as bootlegging operations are concerned.” said Prohibition Commissioner Doran.
