AX MURDERER DEFENSE FAILS TO GETMONEY Counsel for Ulysses Mack, Giant Negro, Reveals Lack of Payment, CONFESSION UNDER FIRE Indication That Duress Charge and Alibi Will Meet Indictment, P.v Times Special VALPARAISO. Ind., Oct. B. Counsel for Ulysses Mack, giant Gary Negro, branded as an ax killer, are having difficulty in getting money to pay for their services. Trial of Mack on first degree murder charges resulting from the death of Miss Josephine Odoricczi, first of the Negro’s alleged victims is scheduled to begin in Porter circuit court here Oct. 21, his attorneys, Chester McGuire and George Hitesman of Gary, having been given a continuance from Sept. 30, when trial was first set, on the plea that Mack was unable to make a proper defense on the earlier date. McGuire says the only money available to aid Mack is a small sum raised by solicitation from the accused man’s friends and relatives. Judge Martin J. Smith of the criminal court of Lake county, from which the Mack case was brought here on a change of venue, is opposed to the county providing pauper criminals with money to pay counsel. In a previous murder trial, Judge Smith refused to approve a claim in a venue case heard by Judge Grant Crumpacker of Porter circuit court. Defense counsel intimates Mack will repudiate a confession made to Gary police and will offer an alibi. The attorneys indicate an effort will be made to show that the Negro was coerced into confessing and was misled by a statement from police that he would be set free if he “signed papers.” Attorney McGuire says Mack can not read or write and that he made his mark on documents confessing guilt without understanding what they contained. In addition to the Odoricczi slaying, Mack is also accused of murdering Miss Mary Gigli, 16, and James Walsh, an aged Negro. CHOPS UP LODGE ROOMS Ousted Member Gets Revenge With Ax; Held Under Bond.

TWO 10-YEAR TERMS GIVEN IN $34 CRIME Evansville Judge Invokes Drastic Robbery Law He Once Condemned. LEGISLATOR IN PROTEST Counsel for Alleged Aid on Convicted Man Parries With Court. Pit Times Special EVANSVILLE, Ind., Oct. B—Carl Stone, 21, is under two sentences of ten years each as the result of a robbery in which he and three companions obtained $34. Sentence was imposed by Circuit Judge Bock of Vanderburg county who took occasion to mention Governor Harry G. Leslie’s pardoning activities as he set punishment of Stone. Previously the judge had refused to sentence defendants under the new state law providing a ten to 25-year term for committing a robbery while armed. Counsel for Samuel Peck, 21, one of Stone’s alleged accomplices, was Ben Zieg, a member of the 1929 Indiana legislature, which passed the robbery while armed statute, declared one of the most drastic enactments among criminal laws of the nation. When the act was read during Stone's hearing, Zieg protested to Judge Bock. “I didn’t make it,” the judge replied. “I didn’t either,” the attorney said. “You were up there,” the court retorted. “You know how those things go; they’re all greased up,” Zieg said in conclusion. Judge Bock remarked that if he had a better understanding of Governor Leslie’s pardoning policy, he might be better guided in imposing sentences. “A young man was in this court last year, charged with holding up and robbing the Victory theater,” the court said. “He was a Chicago banker’s son and the penalty then was only five years. Because of his youth and the fact it was his first offense, I gave him a year and the governor pardoned him before this act was passed, appealing for a stiffer law.” Reverting to the Stone case, Judge Bock said: “I’m not sure It’s too much for him, considering the life he’s led and that he was convicted of robbery last year.” A sifter of Estel Pate, accused with Stone and Peck of holding up Humphrey Felker, restaurant proprietor, pleaded for her brother, saying her husband was ill, and that Pate had been aiding in supporting the family which includes three children. Peck, Pate and Marvin Parnell, the fourth defendant, will be tried later.
