Sampson, Kentucky School Book Commissioners, • Give $250 Bonds. Bn United Press FRANKFORT. Ky.. Sept. 20. Circuit Judge Ben G. Williams today set,' Oct. 2 as date for the trial of Governor Flem D. Sampson and seven members of the state text book commission, on indictments charging unlawful acceptance of gifts from text book publishing companies. Governor Sampson is exofficio chairman of the commission. Governor Sampson and the comnussion members appeared before Judge Williams accompanied by their attorneys. Immediate trial was demanded and each was released under $250 bond. The Governor in a statement coincident with his arraignment, branded the indictments as “the work of my political foes.” The indictments, returned late Thursday, resulted from three week's investigation of activities of the commission which has fought battle after battle since Governor Sampson sponsored the state’s free textbook law. “Gifts” Are Alleged The specific charge is that Sampson and seven of the ten members of the commission “unlawfully, willfully and knowingly accepted gifts from various book publishing concerns, contrary to state statutes, which were seeking to have texts, published by them, adopted for use in the Kentucky public schools.” Sampson is the first Kentucky Governor indicted in more than a century—since 1824 when Joseph Desha was indicted for pardoning his son, who was convicted of murder. After issuing the pardon, Desha resigned. Member Caused Quiz Investigation of the textbook commission was precipitated by one of the indicted members, Frank V. McChesney of Danville, who was ousted from the commission by Governor Sampson after a bitter fight, but regained his seat after sensational litigation. Those indicted, besides Sampson and McChesney, were K. R. Cummins. Princeton: Sam Walker and W. R. McCoy, Inez.: Miss Delphia Evans, Bowling Green, and '•Robert J.

C., asked the delegates to: “Carry prohibition beyond state and federal statutes into municipal codes.” Mrs. Yost declared the nation’s dry forces outnumber the wet element by a majority sufficient to protect dry legislation. “The people in congressional districts are the jury and liquor traffic has been on trial many times. Verdicts show the jury found evidence to convict,” she said. “It can not be denied prohibition was the dominant issue of the last presidential election. The issue was clearly drawn—the outcome inevitable. “In the United States senate, eighty of the ninety-five senators are dry, and probably six more can be counted on to support law en-

STATE POLICE CHARGED WITH GANGSTER AID ‘High Official’ Played Role of Guard for Beer Cargo, Tribune Alleges. LINKED WITH MASSACRE Grand Jury in South Bend to Hear Story; Humes Welcomes Probe. “If any state policeman, regardless of rank, has protected rum runners, I am extremely anxious that they be indicted.” This was the comment today of Chief Robert, T. Humes'of the state police regarding allegations contained in a Chicago Tribune story regarding the South Bend federal grand jury quiz. It reads, in part, as follows: ‘‘The new theory of the motive for the murder of seven Moran gangsters in a North Clark street garage in Chicago is based on testimony to be presented to the jury soon. A partial version was made known shortly after the mass killing and the information obtained today dovetails'with it. “The story dates back to four days before the massacre, Feb. 10, when two truck loads of whisky and one of Carling’s Black Label beer are said to have been started from a Detroit brewery bound for the Capone gang in Chicago. Seized in Gary “At the state line,” the story goes, “an official high in the Indiana state police met the three trucks and acted as convoy across the state as far as Gary.” The whisky trucks negotiated the Gary streets without interference, but the beer truck driver smashed into an automobile, the story said. “Suspicion was aroused, and in the heart of the city two policemen stopped the truck, ascertained its contents, and promptly drove it to the Gary station. What happened to the beer when it reached police headquarters is a Subject of much controversy.” The story continues to point out that this rum cargo was hijacked by the Moran gang in Chicago and the wholesale murder which followed was in retaliation. Fifield Out of City Secretary of Siate Otto G. Fifield and George McHie, assistant state police chief, both of Lake county, were out of the city today. Humes expressed utter lack of knowledge of any such affair.

count of the youth’s oral confession to him of how he killed his young wife, Dorothy. Silverstein Wednesday gave Peacox’ account of the scuffle in the apartment, of how he hit her over the head with the butt of a revolver and then choked her to stifle her screams. These acts, the defense says, were done during moments of insane hatred, but the state, seeking to send the lean, pallid youth to the electric chair, insists they were premeditated. "Peacox told me he drove down the parkway to the home of his mother-in-law (Mrs. Alphonse Heinzlemann of Bronxville) after leaving the body in the woods,” Captain Silverstein testified today. "He said the thought of leaving the body there preyed upon his mind. He was afraid it would be found and identified. So several days later, or) Saturday, I think he said, he got a milk bottle and bought a quart of kerosene. "Then he went back to the body and sprinkled the kerosene on it. He said he struck a match and dropped it on the body and it burst into flames. He drove to his mother-in-law’s home in Bronxville, where Mrs. Heinzleman and his Aunt Ida fixed breakfast for him.”

TWO CENTS

For some unknown reason the exterior of the building was damaged only slightly. All the heat and smoke concentrated in the interior. Damage was estimated at $35,000. The latest check at the morgue, where the sixteen bodies were taken, revealed the following dead had been identified: Florence (Bubbles) Parker, 19, dancer employed by the club, and her mother, Mrs. John Parker. Wallace Krueger, 30, of 732 Inez avenue. Grand Rapids, entertainer. Morrison Manning, musician, 145 East Eighty-second street, New York. J. J. Kaufman, 30, Detroit.

Smith, 45, assistant general manager of the United States Rubber Company, Detroit. Derricks Brown, Detroit. Edward Tedford, 28, Detroit. The bodies of three persons still were unidentified. | Passersby volunteered to aid in the rescue work. Among them was John Duvall, a member of the automobile manufacturers’ family, who groped his way through the smoke and was burned slightly. Jack Carney, his companion, also was hurt slightly after carrying injured and dead from the building. Five Are Near Death Receiving hospital, where most of the injured were taken, was crowded and physicians said at least five might die from burns and other hurts. When the first smoke spiraled up the stairway the patrons of the club dashed for the doors; twenty-five, trapped in the cloakroom, apparently tried to rertrieve lost garments before escaping, but were unable to make their way out of the secondfloor room.

In the main club room scores stormed the windows. Two men and a woman, who jumped from a window, were taken to the hospital with broken legs. Others followed, most of them escaping serious injury. Once firemen had beaten down the flames to the main room, they soon had the blaze under control. As victims, many with their clothing burned off. continued to straggle out of the building, a search was started for bodies and possible survivors. On the small dance floor was found the body of a cigaret girl, her arms wrapped around her tray. Owner Is Questioned All available fire apparatus in the city was sent to the club, and the staff of Receiving hospital immediately began to muster physicians and nurses from other institutions to aid. Martin Cohn, owner of the club, was questioned by Inspector Henry J. Garvin of the crime and bomb squad. Cohn told police he believed th fire had been caused by a bomb, because he left the building shortly before the blaze and there was no indication of a fire then. Bobby Jackson, a club employe, who left with Cohn, also was Questioned, but his statement was not divulged. Last vear, there were reports here that there was friction between Cohn and Louis Riccardi, owner of Luigi’s cabaret, over patronage, but the differences were said to have been adjusted. Cohn said he left his club to go to Luigi’s, which was to have been opened for the winter season. Prices Good at Fair Sale Bv Times Special _ , . DUBLIN, Ind..
