KILLER BURKE ' TO FIGHT FOR HIS FREEDOM ‘Most Dangerous Man Alive’ Demands Hearing on Murder Charge. HIRES NOTED ATTORNEY Gangster Is Transferred From Missouri in Armored Car. By United Pi' ST. JOSEPH, Mich., March 30. Fred J. Burke, alleged professional trigged man, blamed by police for at least a score of murders, today demanded a preliminary examination when he was arraigned before a justice of the peace charged with the murder of James Skelly, a policeman. Burke thus elected to fight against a sentence of life imprisonment which would have resulted had he entered a plea of guilty. Preliminary examination was set for April 8, by Justice Joseph R. Collier Jr. Burke was remanded to jail, without bond. Sheriff Fred J. Cutler said he would be kept here, the plan of moving him to the state prison at Jackson having been abandoned. A heavy guard will be maintained clay and night, Cutler said. Attorney Not Present Burke was not represented toy counsel at the brief hearing, held in a small room off the bull pen. Justice Collier came to the jail to conduct the hearing. Earlier Burke had conferred with Barrett O’Hara. Chicago criminal lawyer, but O’Hara did not appear for the arraignment. The lawyer visited the jail Sunday night, but Burke was sleeping and guards refused him admittance. Today he talked with the prisoner and presumably mapped plans for a t defense. Burke appeared unworried as ne was brought into the ante room. He was freshly shaved and wore a clean, white shirt. • Justice Collier explained the state law and told him he could demand a hearing, or w’aive to the circuit court. Burke stared hard at the iudge for a moment and then said he wanted a hearing. Wilber Cunningham, Berien county prosecutor, talked with Burke briefly, and he then walked back to his cell. Liked to Hunt, Gamble

Meantime hundreds of people, anxious to catch a glimpse of the man police call the most dangerous criminal in the country, milled about the jail. In the crowd were many who knew him when he and blond Mrs. Viola Brennerman of Kankakee. 111., occupied a beautiful home in the exclusive Lake Shore drive section. He was known then as Frederick Dane, an easy going rich fellow, who liked to hunt and play cards. Sheriff Cutler recalled him as one of his best customers, when he bought shrubs and trees from his nursery while beautifying the Lake Shore home. His card playing acquaintances recalled that his invariable habit tas to sit with his back to the wall when he played. They attached no significance to the matter until they were told who their companion had been. If Burke recognized any of his old acquaintances in the crowd when he was hustled into the. jail, he didn't Indicate it. Sheriff Cutler said his attitude had been one of nonchalance, with a bit of scorn for those who w r ould view him. Guarded by Own Guns Little fear of an attempt by gangsters to free Burke was felt. The jail has been turned into an armed fort, with state troopers and deputies on guard at all hours. By an odd quirk of fate, two machine guns , held ready for an emergency, were found in Burke’s home when it was raided after the Skelly murder. No sooner did Burke arrive than a blond girl called at the heavily guarded Jail and asked to see him. She was not allowed to do so. Officers did not ask her name. Chicago police, who say Burke manned the machine gun that mowed down seven Moran gangsters in the St. Valentine’s day massacre of 1929, often have said of him that he ‘likes his women blond and his policemen dead.” Authorities said they believed Burke preferred being taken to Michigan rather than to some of the other seventeen states where he was wanted, because he can not be convicted under Michigan’s newcapital punishment law.

BEAUTY DIES HI CLIFF FALL 400-Foot Auto Plunge of Former Ziegfeld Girl Is ‘Accident/ Say Cops. By United. Brest EZE, France, March 30.—Police of Eze today described the death of Mrs. Mary Townnsend, whose automobile plunged over a 400-foot precipice near here Saturday night, as an accident. The conclusion was reached desipte a disconnected letter left by Mrs. Townsend in which she bequeathed 4,000 francs (about $160) to the nurse of her 5-year-old daughter. It was confirmed at the inquest that Mrs. Townsend, who was known as Peggy Davis on the New York stage, formerly was Mary Margaret Laird of Birmingham, Ala. She was 25 years old. Her husband, David Townsend, is a native of Sydney, Australia. Former Ziegfeld Beauty The coroner at the inquest concluded that death was due to the fall over the cliff and was instantaneous. He said there was no proof she was neuresthenic or had been treated for nervous trouble, although recently she had been moody. The body of Mrs. Townsend, who was known as Peggy Davis when she appeared in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1923, was found crushed and broken in the deep ravine near the estate of Colonel Jack Balsan, husband of Consuelo Vanderbilt. A note was clutched in her lifeless hand. It said: “I don’t want to go back to the stage. I am tired of living and prefer to die. Look alter my baby.” The note was addressed to her husband. Considered one of the most beautiful women on the Riviera, Mrs. Townsend mixed with the smartest American society circles. Drinks, Speeds to Death She often went the rounds of cocktail parties without her husband. At 10 p. m. Saturday she entered a restaurant on the steep and widening coast road at Nice. She sat at a table on a balcony and ordered a glass of cognac, a waiter at the restaurant said. She swallowed the drink in a single gulp and sat staring out at the Mediterranean. After a while she ordered another drink and then told the waiter to bring her paper and pen. She swallowed the liquor and then wrote quickly, rose and handed the waiter fifty francs, saying, “keep the change.” Outside she jumped into her automobile and sped away. She was not seen alive again, so far as officials could determine. Townsend and their daughter, who is 5, were at their handsome residence of Cap Ferrat.

INDIANAPOLIS, MONDAY, MARCH 30, 1931

CHEMISTS, IN CONVENTION,TO HIT EDUCATORS Society Opens 81st Annual Meeting Today at City Hotel. 1,500 GATHERED HERE Teachers to Be Charged With Stifling Ambitious High Schoolers. Indianapolis today and for four more days will be the test tube of the United States. Approximately 1 500 scientists and 1 chemists of the nation stirred the ; advanced thought processes of the ; future as the eighty-first meeting ■ of the American Chemical Society j opened in the Claypool. Today was the “get acquainted” day of the meeting with registration and council meetings of sections of the society scheduled. And although the chemists may talk of vitamins A to D in papers read at the meeting, their banquet tonight in the Claypool will be just a good old-fashioned Hoosier dinner without a calory-count in a mouthful. Nor will the dance following their dinner be reduced to a treatise in “atomic energy” for the New Yorker fox trot and the old waltz will be just dances as they are danced at any “pay-as-you-enter” hall on Saturday night. Educators to Be Flayed One of the refprms scheduled for the society’s sessions directly attacks the educators of the nation as stifling ambitious youth in its study of chemistry' in high schools of the country'. “The inadequate attention on the part of teachers to the study of chemistry in high schools stifles the youths they teach,” declared Professor R. A. Baker, of the College of the City of New York, who is urging the society to take cognizance of this needed reform in education. “In most cases the teacher is not particularly interested in chemistry and so the boy’s interest flags and he drops the subject,” the professor said today. The council meeting opening at 2 this afternoon will be presided by Professor Moses Gomberg of the University of Michigan, president of the society.

Exhibits to Get Prizes Nationally known chemists, physiologists, biochemists and clinicians will report on the growing alliance between chemistry and medicine during the meetings. Exhibits of high school chemistry classes of the nation will vie for prizes during th~ convention. The “fat” woman and “lean” man will know whether her and his dieting is harmful when Professor William C. Rose of the University of Illinois, lectures Wednesday at 8:30 p. m. in Keith’s theater on “Dietary Facts and Fads.” The public is invited. Sanitation, agriculture, paint and varnish industry, and methods of canning food.-, are included among the varied subjects to be discussed during the meeting. Inspection Trips Arranged Trips of inspection to the industries and educational institutions of Indiana and many social events, including group dinners and luncheons, have been arranged. On Tuesday a complimentary smoker and entertainment wil be held in the ballroom of the Indiana theater. A golf tournament is scheduled for Thursday. Eli Lilly & Cos., Van Camp Packing Company, Republic Creosoting Company, Reilly Chemical Company, Reilly Laboratories, United States Encaustic Tile Works, Marietta Manufacturing Company and Prest-O-Lite Company will be visited Friday. The Indiana section has planned a ladies’ program consisting of luncheons, teas, bridge and theater parties, and trips of inspection. Honorary Chairman Named J. K. Lilly, R. E. Lyons and P. C. Reilly of Indianapolis have been named honorary chairmen of the general convention committee with Harry E. Jordan as general chairman and Edgar B. Carter as vicechairman. Chairmen of subcommittees include: H. E. Barnard, Carl E. Stone, Horace A. Shonle, Robert M. Lingle, Verne A. Trask, C. T. Harman, Neil Kershaw, H. W. Rhodehamel, William Higburg, C. K.

Scouts Follow ‘Be Prepared * Motto

HOLD MAN IN FIREBUG CASE Suspect Accused of Setting Blaze in Vacant House. Capture of an alleged firebug, accused of having applied a match to trash in the closet of a vacant house at 655 South Delaware street this morning caused police to believe a string of incendiary blazes will be solved as the result. From letters and other papers in his pocket, the man’s identity was established as William New, 57, who, with his son John, 30, rooms at 934 South Delaware street. New told detectives he came to Indianapolis two years ago from Kentucky where, he said, he had been in an insane institution for ten years. William Wallace, 62, of 701 South Delaware street, heard coming from the upstairs of the house next door the sound of breaking boards. Investigating, he ran up the stairs, he told police, and came upon New, stooped over a head of trash to which he evidently had just applied a match. Wallace attempted to stamp out the blaze as New dashed past him down the stairs and into the street. Seeing the flames had too much headway to be smothered out, Wallace raced out after him, and called to his son, Lewis Wallace, 39, who joined the chase. Overtaken a block away, New made a gesture toward pulling a knife from his pocket, but was subdued.

N. DELAWARE BRIDGE ‘PANCAKE’ TO BE PAVED

After months of deliberating, city officials today announced that the small “pancake” tract just north of the Delaware street bridge at Fall creek, is to be removed. After spending thousands of dollars on the improvement of the boulevard a small elevated section of dirt and curbstone was left in the middle of the thoroughfare for the erection of a statue. Twenty-four hours after the street was opened the board heard the first complaint. “Hey, why don’t you put a warning up on the blankety-blank hunk of mud near the bridge?” was the

Pedestrians took to using the spot as a harbor of safety during the heavy traffic rushes that sweep all before them on Delaware street morning and late afternoon. But they soon abandoned it. They found that they might as well stand in the street. Autos just hopped over the spot and roared on. Moore said the Pioneer Women’s Association has announced the statue will not be erected. So, on recommendation of the works group, the park board will remove it.

Anew desk (built at Shelbyville) has been provided. It is designed after a “noted model,” according to Caylor.

LEO BROTHERS TO TESTIFY IN OWN DEFENSE Pistoi Expert Tells Jury Gun Found Near Body Killed Lingle. IDENTIFIED IN TESTS State Expected to Finish Its Murder Evidence on Tuesday. BY WILLIAM E. HALLBLRG United Press Staff Correspondent CRIMINAL COURT, CHICAGO, March 30. —The state called science to its side today in an attempt to prove Leo V. Brothers, fired the shot that killed Alfred J. Lingle, j Chicago Tribune reporter. Several hundred persons fought to j get into the courtroom today as Calvin Goddard, ballistic expert, of I Northwestern university, went on j the stand and Tvrell V. Krum, deI sense attorney, announced that ! Brothers will testify in his own dej sense after the* state rests its case which probably will be Tuesday. Goddard testified that a test bullet fired from the snub-nosed pistol found near Lingle's body and which, according to one state witness, was thrown away by Brothers, was identical with the bullet found in the reporter’s brain and that they had been fired from the same Gun. Was Like Murder Bullet i ballistic expert, describing the ! bullet taken from Lingle’s head, \ said: Th nose was telescoped in so it ; was quite flat.” | Goddard said he fired a test buli let from the murder revolver into a basket of cotton waste, recovered the bullet and compared it microscopically with the murder weapon. The comparison showed each bullet had been fired not only from the same make of arm, but from the same arm, he testified. The test bullet then was produced and made ast at-e’s exhibit, the other bullet and gun having been entered before. Goddard described himself as a professor of police science at Northwestern universitly and director of the scentific crime detection laboratory affiliated with the university. Pat Roche In Courtroom

Since the age of 15 he said he has been studying firearms, bullets, powder and related subjects. He is a lieutenant colonel in the reserve corps. Goddard explained that the interiors of various gun barrels wear unevenly, creating a microscopic series of teeth or scratches in the grooves of the rifling, which leave destructive marks on fired bullets. Goddard said a bullet “when leaving a chamber may tip as it enters the barrel, causing a slight difference, sometimes marked differences.” Pat Roche, chief investigator for the state’s attorney who offered “to stake his reputation that Brothers killed Lingle,” appeared at the trial for the first time today and showed keen interest in Goddard’s testimony. Tito Schipa, Chicago Civic Opera tenor, also appeared and greeted Judge Joseph Sabath, who is presiding. JURY.
