Ingalls, 54, Cambridge City, was left lying alongside National road near Greenfield early today.

MELODY OF SPEED IN ARNOLD’S EARS

!• '

Hands that once steered a race car around the Speedway’s bricks are being tuned up again for another whirl at speed’s wheel and the tuning is being done through the “plunk-plunk-plunk” of a banjo. Billy Arnold, 1930 winner of the 500-mile race, is convalescing at the Hotel Pennsylvania from injuries suffered in the 1931 classic. Billy’s banjo is getting his hands in trim for next year’s grind. “It won’t be long before I’ll be at the wheel of a car again. My hands itch to get a grip on tue

tape,” Billy said today as he “plunked” out another rendition of “Old Black Joe.” “But I did take a ride the other day. Got so tired sitting around waiting to get well that I hired myself an ambulance to cart me around the streets,” Billy related. “Who knows I may be driving in a race yet before tjie year’s over. But if I’m not this year you can bank on it I’ll be back on the bricks for the 1932 race here,” he amended. A tool handle with a vacuum grip has been put on the market.

THE INDIANAPOLIS THVIES

CAPITOL POLICE CONSPIRACY TO SLAYJIHARGED Officers Plotted to Have Cop Killed, Convict Says on Stand. BY JULIUS FRANDSEN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Aug. 11. r A convict’s charges that corrupt Washington police officials plotted to have murdered a patrolman who disclosed their graft to a congressman were considered today by a federal grand jury. The inquiry is based on charges made in a letter to Representative Thomas L. Blanton of Texas, by Frederick A. Schenck, former policeman, now serving a twenty-year term for robbery. Schenck was brought here from Leavenworth to testify. In addition to Schenck’s accusations, several other allegations of corruption, malfeasance and laxity are expected to come before the jury. The investigation is being aided by agents of the federal department of justice, an unusual procedure, which recalls that President Hoover two years ago announced his intention of making Washington a model city in point of law en-

forcement. Schenck, in the letter to Representative Blanton, written from prison, asserted that he and another policeman were directed by superiors to “bump off’’ Patrolman Orville Staples. Staples was said to have furnished Blanton with earlier information regarding alleged police corruption. Schenck said the second patrolman fired at Staples near his home one night, but missed. Later, the convicted officer charged, he was ordered to “frame” evidence to bring about Staples’ dismissal from the force. It is a mat-

ter of record that Staples was dismissed after a police trial at which Schenck was the chief witness. Staples was before the grand jury today. He said he would tell his whole story “even though it takes a week.” His preliminary testimony Monday caused twenty new aptnesses to be summoned. These included Robert J. Allen, another dismissed policeman. Allen was discharged shortly after he had accused his superiors of turning in a verdict of suicide to cover up their inability or lack of desire to clear up the mysterious death of Mrs. Virginia McPherson. Allen said he saw a man leaving the McPherson apartment by a window shortly before she was found strangled with a pajama cord. The case was reopened, but again written off as a suicide. Slayings of two other young women in the past year remain unsolved. The body of Mary Baker, comely navy department clerk, was found near Arlington cemetery. After much delay a man was brought to trial, but the case against him collapsed. Beulah Limerick, self - styled “whoopee girl,” was slain in her bed. Investigation centered around a policeman with whom she had been friendly. He was dismissed after a raid on his home disclosed a still and several guns. Fourteen million pounds of blue clay are required to yield one pound of diamonds.
