PLEA MADE BY DAUGHTER FOR MRS. SIMMONS Girl Pictures Mother as Kind, Gentle, Devoted to Children. TELLS OF TRIP TO CITY Forty Minutes of Time in Indianapolis Still Is Gap in Evidence. BY STAFF CORRESPONDENT LEBANON, Ind., Oct. 23.—“ Honor thy father and thy mother . . ” Exodus 20:xii. And this, the fifth of the Ten Commandments, battled today in the courtroom at the trial of Mrs. Carrie Simmons to save a mother from being stigmatized under the law as a breaker of the Sixth Commandment, “Thou shalt not kill.” From a hardwood witness chair, facing a tanned farmer jury, a 16-year-old girl—Elizabeth Simmonssobbed as she tried to tell a motley courtroom crowd and the twelve men that she honored her mother and that she could not be guilty of the infamous crime charged by the state. As she related details of the jovial picnic that ended in death of her two sisters and told of her own observation of her mother’s grief at their death, she sought to upset charges of the prosecution that the mother she honored was “hardboiled” as death walked. She broke down and wept several times as she told of her mother’s affection for her, the dead girls and other members of the family. Pleads for Mother Fingers drumming on cheek, her curly wind-blown bob turning from defense attorneys to Prosecutor Ben Scifres, she tried to make them see that her mother was a kindly soul, that she was a builder of children’s playhouses, a teacher, a dressmaker and always a mother. Under cross-examination her answers became vague. She responded curtly and appeared irate. She was paving the way for her mother’s own story of how the fatal sandwiches were made in the Simmons home on June 21 and she took that mother with her into the witness box as she related Thursday how she had watched every sandwhich made and saw no capsules of death placed in them by that mother. "When the poison was found, I heard father and mother saying they didn't know where it came from,” the daughter testified. "They seemed very worried about it. "While the sandwiches were being made, father stood about an arm’s length from mother. We were standing there when the last sandwich was made and the lid put on the can.” Find Rift in Story But a rift in her story came today when prosecutors, on cross-exam-ination, produced her signed statement before the coroner which said. "I saw some of the sandwiches prepared.” “After the poison was found, my mother said she felt dizzy and had pains in her head and neck,” the girl told the jury. “My mother pleaded with me to do all I could for Alice Jean. "I found a capsule in my sandwuch and it was not pressed down in the chicken. It was almost whole. I don’t remember what I did with it. "When we got to the hospital, my mother held Jean’s mouth open (Turn to Page 20)

CHARGES NOMINATION OFFERED FOR $5,000 Failure to Aid G. O. P. Campaign Cost Him Judgeship, Says Attorney. By United Press NEW YORK. Oct. 23.—Edgar F. Hazelton, former municipal court justice, who served as counsel for Mrs. Ruth Snyder, in the SnyderGray murder trial, today told how his failure to contribute $5,000 to the Republican campaign in Queens Borough cost him the nomination as supreme court justice. Hazelton, under questioning by Samuel Seabury, counsel to the citywide legislative investigating committee, said that this and “certain other conditions” were laid down by Warren D. Ashmead, Queens Republican leader. Ashmead told him, Hazelton said, that it had been agreed between Republican and Democratic leaders that each party would indorse the other’s nominees. “That makes it attractive, a sure bet;” he quoted Ashmead as saying.

Un-warranted By I nitrd Press SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23. Into Municipal Judge George J. Steiger’s court walked Police Inspector John Dolan. “Mrs. George J.

LINDBERGHS OFF AGAIN FOR EAST Spend Night in Rock Springs, Hop for Home. By United Press ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo., Oct. 23. —Colonel and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh, forced down Thursday by rain and darkness, took off at 6:10 a. m. tbday for North Platte, Neb., next stop on their flight across the continent to New Jersey. The flying pair, who cut a vacation in the far east short because of the death of Dwight Morrow, Mrs. Lindbergh’s father, appeared much more cheerful and rested. The Lindberghs arrived in Rock Springs Thursday night in a drizzle of rain, after a flight from Victoria. They were 500 miles behind schedule. Headwinds and storms in Idaho had caused the delay. Their arrival was unexpected. Only airport attaches and a few visitors were at the field when they landed at 5:50 p. m. The Lindberghs spent an hour at the home of E. S. Maroney, manager of the airport. Mrs. Lindbergh spent most of the time playing with Maroney’s 6-months-old daughter, Patricia. Both Mrs. Lindbergh and her husband appeared tired after their long trip across the Pacific and the rough flight Thursday. They are “tired of the crowds,” they said, and yearned for open spaces and small towns. MRS. MORROW HEIR Willed Estate, Except for $500,000 in Bequests. By United Press HACKENSACK, N. J., Oct. 23.

RECALLS EDISON REPLY View on Life Possibility After Death by Phonograph Man Told. By United Press ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 23.—Thomas A. Edison's view on the possibility of life after death was given today by Mark Silverstone, a phonograph distributor. Silverstone said two years ago when he visited the inventor’s laboratory in New Jersey, Edison answered a question about life after death in writing as follows: “The body is affected by fire and brimstone, but the question is whether the spirit is affected by it. The chances are that when our body dies we enter the next and last cycle made up of a swarm of entities which go on forever.” Arrest 230 Mutinous Sailors By United Pres* BERLIN, Oct. 23.—Crews of thirty-three German ships, totaling 230 men, en route home after striking at Leningrad and Odessa, were arrested today on charges of mutiny at Holtenau, Schleswig.

French Premier to Meet Hoover Today, Be Guest at White House. By United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.—Standing bare-headed under a warm autumn sun on the granite south portico of the historic state department building, Premier Laval and Secretary of State Stimson today engaged in one of their most important conferences thus far. They stood there talking earnestly in French for thirty minutes. Later it . was learned that pending international questions were discussed freely. They agreed that their work must be largely an informal exploration of the diverging ideas of France and the United States. After luncheon at the French embassy, Laval and his daughter, Josette, were due to go to the White House to stay overnight, giving opportunity for Laval’s first and only extended discussion with President Hoover. The morning had been spent in ceremonial visits to Vice President Curtis, Chief Justice Hughes, and the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Up to Governments Laval and Stimson were understood to have the view mutually that it was for the governments to make agreements; that President Hoover, chief American conferee, and Laval only could absorb ideas for future action. Both Laval and the President insist they expect no binding agreements to result from their talks, but it is believed they will strive to decide on some general principles controling treatment of war debts, reparations, and disarmaments, to be worked out in detail later. Mr. Hoover speaks no French and Laval no English. Consequently, their discussion will be slowed down by having to go both ways through an interpreter. Still they hope, by being free of diplomatic restraints, to talk frankly to each other in a friendly fireside atmosphere, in a way that will bring them closer together than they could get by exchanging a hundred diplomatic notes. Both Under Restraint But they meet strongly conscious that they can go only so far. Mr. Hoover must reckon with congress, and particularly the senate. Laval is obliged to guard against his opposition at home. This is regarded here as accounting for the emphasis on security in his greeting to America at New York on his arrival. Though security is the paramount desire of France, it has been intimated unmistakably that the administration is opposed to entering any pact which would bind the United States in advance to take action in event of trouble, either with arms or by an embargo. RIOT DRAWS BRITISH TROOPS TO CYPRUS Demanding Union With Greece, Islanders Burn Offices. By United Press LONDON, Oct. 23.—British troops were reported rushed from Egypt by air today to Cyprus, island possession in the Mediterranean, where native, demanding union with Greece, rioted and burned the government house.

Followers of Governor William H. Murray had new hope today that their leader would make a bid for the Democratic nomination for President. Their hopes were based on his announcement that he wasn’t a candidate but that if folks “keep on with this damned fool business of booming me I may have to run anyway.” The decision was made known in typical “Alfalfa Bill” style. He puffed on his cigar, shifted his feet on his desk, spit at the cuspidor, and delivered his talk. Then he told newspaper men to "clear out” of his office, because he had some work to do. ‘CATTLE WAR’ SUBSIDES Veterinarians Proceed With lowa Tests Under Troop Guard. By United Press BURLINGTON, la., Oct. 23.

APPROVAL OF CHINA GIVEN PEACE PLAN Japan Reported Ready to Accept Program, With Reservations. WILL WITHDRAW ARMY Evacuation of Manchuria in Three Weeks Is Hope in Tokio. By United Press GENEVA, Oct. 23.—Alfred Sze of China accepted the league council’s formula for settlement of the Manchurian dispute tonight, as embodied in a resolution proposed to the council. Kenkichi Yoshizawa, Japanese delegate, had not yet accepted, although his government was understood to be willing to agree to it conditionally. Members of the Chinese delegation said unofficially they would not accept a fixed date for withdrawal of Japanese troops, but would submit counter proposals. The council set 6:15 p. m. as the time for reconvening. Japan Accepts Plan BY MILES W. VAUGHN United Press Staff Correspondent TOKIO, Oct. 23. —The Japanese government today instructed its representative at Geneva to accept conditionally the League of Nations proposal to start immediate withdrawal of troops inside the treaty zone in Manchuria. The government hoped to complete the evacuation in three weeks, if possible. Orders to Geneva were sent after a cabinet meeting. Japan’s conditions stipulated included Chinese acceptance of all treaties and commitments and cessation of alleged anti-Japanese propaganda in China. The new position represented considerable concession by Japan but included the main provisions of the five points outlined by Foreign Minister Baron Shidehara. The league council proposed to adjourn today for three weeks, and expected Japan to complete avacuation within that time. It was learned that Foreign Minister Baron Shidehara Thursday instructed the Japanese delegate at Geneva, Kenkichi Yoshizawa, to accept with modifications the first of three fromulas submitted by Great Britain. The instructions reached Geneva at noon and the government was hopeful of a solution. Then something intervened, possibly news of renewed bombing by Japanese airplanes in Manchuria, and the council considered China's objections and adopted the stronger formula. Japan’s position remained unchanged today. It was held that a definite date could not be accepted for evacuation of Manchuria, nor could neutrals be allowed on a SinoJapanese commission. “There is nothing to do but await the outcome of today’s council session,” a government spokesman said. The outlook was considered pessimistic. Japan held the only possible solution to be on the five points outlined by Baron Shidehara. These provided for mutual nonaggression, suppression of alleged anti-Japanese propaganda in China, respect for territorial integrity, Chinese respect for treaty agreements, including rights of the South Manchurian railway to eliminate ruinous competition, and protection of Japanese nationals. Russia Helps China By United Press HARBIN, China, Ocat. 23.—China has received backing from Soviet Russia, and loyal troops are being equipped with arms to fight revolutionary movements in Manchuria, according to a report received here today. The report said Russian arms have been supplied Chinese soldiers in Heilungkiang, who have remained loyal to General Chang Hseuh Liang, dictator of Manchuria. The arms, it was said, were given with the understanding that the soldiers were to oppose the movement against General Chang Begun in Tsitsihar by General Chan Hai-Peng. A number of Chinese generals already have broken with General Chang as the result of his announced policy of nonresistance to Japanese aggression. Numerous municipal governments, including the capital have been set up by anti-Chang forces, with the support of Japanese.

CAPONE SENTENCE DELAYED FOR DAY

Judge Hears Arguments to Arrest Judgment, Then Defers Ruling. BY RAY BLACK United Press Staff Corresnondent CHICAGO, Oct. 23.—Sentence of A1 Capone, convicted on charges of defrauding the government of $215,000 in income tax, was delayed today until 10 a. m. Saturday. Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson ordered the continuance shortly before noon, at the close of extensive arguments on a defense motion for an arrest of judgment. Judge Wilkerson gave no indication of what moves he would make when the hearing is resumed Saturday. Capone shrugged his shoulders as the ruling was made, got up and walked out. At his side was Michael Ahern, ‘ defense attorney. Capone Looks 111 The gangster brushed aside reporters who tried to question him. He appeared white of face and ill. The scars on his cheek out against the pallor of his skin. The prosecution contended the verdict, reached by a jury last Saturday night, after eight and onehalf hours of deliberation, finding Capone guilty of three felony counts of income tax evasion and two misdemeanor charges, was “consistent with the indictments.” Attorneys Albert Fink and Ahern went over phrase by phrase, the long indictment on which their client was convicted, contending that it was “insufficiently drawn and not specific” in not stating exactly how the income tax was evaded. A! Is Fidgety Capone sat through the long arguments fidgeting in his chair from time to time as the attorneys delved into highly technical phases of the verdict and indictment. Capone’s right index finger was wrapped in a bulky bandage. “I cut it,” he remarked. He fingered the bandage as the arguments wore on.

Slightly Dippy Wife Gets Last Laugh on Flier Husband and It’s a Guffaw.

| By United. Press t HAMMOND, Ind., Oct. 23. Mrs. Robert Quigley waited a long time to get the laugh on her flying husband, so when her turn came, she made it a hearty one. Weeks ago, when the Quigleys separated, Quigley hastened across the state line into Illinois to avoid a suit charging nonsupport. “Then,” said Mrs. Quigley, “he bought an airplane, just to taunt me. Every day he’d fly across the border and dip the wings of the plan over my house. It got on my nerves, but I knew my turn to laugh would come and it did.” The turn came when Quigley’s airplane motor failed while he was making the daily “dip.” His ship clashed in Mrs. Quigley’s yard. Police met him when he crawled out of the wreckage unhurt. CLOSE KOKOMO BANK TO PROTECT PATRONS Directors Take Step Voluntarily; Solvency Is Claimed.

$1,043,686 Will Be Goal of Campaign to Relieve City's Needy. The voice of the Community Fund today asked Indianapolis to turn its thoughts to helpless babies, and aged men and women, whose existence next year must depend on j generosity of the city's 360,000 inhabitants. And with the plea of the Community Fund were blended the playful coos of babies like Patricia Steen, the unknowing, childish giggles of other orphans like Billy and Roanna at the Indianapolis Orphans’ Home, the muttered musings of old men and women who live with Joseph Foltzenlogel at the Altenheim of Indianapolis. Mothers Given Help Some mothers must work to support their families, but before they can take a job there are tots to be cared for. That is one of the first motives of .an institution like the day nursery, where nurses care for the youngsters while their mothers are at work. And the orphans—is it any fault of their own that they have no homes? Must children, innocent even of their own existen^f 5 be made to suffer for their birth, asks the Community Fund? And the old, and the infirm, no longer able to work and support themselves, must they be told to find whatever corner they can for their last days? It is for them, as well as for thousands of persons who will suffer because of unemployment, that the fund today began its drive for the largest sum it ever has asked, $1,043,686. With official opening of the drive it was announced that $244,698 already is subscribed in solicitations by the special gifts division. 3,000 Help Campaign More than three thousand workers, the largest soliciting force in history of the drive, will begin active work to raise $1,043,686, the fund goal. Opening meeting of the campaign will be held tonight in the Riley room at the Claypool, where C. M. Bookman, member of President Hoover’s committee on unemployment relief, will address more than five hundred of the workers. The address will be broadcast over station WKBF. With opening of the campaign, workers reported the J. G. McCrory 5 and 10 cent store has increased last year’s subscription more than 100 per cent.

TRUNK MURDER PROBERS SIFT DRUG THEORY Narcotics Believed to Have Played Part in Killing of Two Women. HUNT SUSPECT IN VAIN Ruth Judd Still at Large; Seek Accomplice in Dual Slaying. BY GEORGE D. CRISSEY United Press Staff Correspondent PHOENIX. Ariz., Oct. 23.—A growing suspicion that narcotics playeed a part in the “trunk murders” of Agnes Anne Leroi, 27, and Hedvig Samuelson, 25, of which Mrs. Winnie Ruth Judd, Indiana minister’s daughter, is accused, was voiced by authorities today, as a four-day search for a motive for the slayings had proved, ineffectual. Additional impetus was given the drug theory today with the discovery of two bottles—one containing ether and the other drug tablets—in the homes of the slain women. Previously, investigators had found a small quantity of narcotics in Mrs. Judd's home—a drug usually used to “taper off” an addicted patient. Police Captain M. B. Morrison, who ’announced discovery of the drugs, offered the startling theory that the women were rendered insensible by ether and drugs before they were killed last Friday night. Voices Drug Theory "The narcotic theory is as good a guess as any yet advanced.” G. A. Rodgers, deputy county attorney, told the United ■ Press. "A person addicted to their use would do desperate things if the supply was threatened with elminiation.” Additional impetus was given the theory that Mrs. Judd was aided by an accomplice in the crime of which she is accused when police dovetailed new information placed in their hands. Police Chief George Brisbois announced that the following facts indicated a man may have aided in the grewsome slayings: Only one trunk was moved from the home of the murdered girls to i Mrs. Judd’s residence by a drayman. ; This now is believed to have con- ! tained only the body of Mrs. Leroi. The second trunk and a handbag containing portions of Miss Samuelson's body were taken to Mrs. Judd’s home in an automobile later. The handbag was identified as coming from Mrs. Leroi’s home by the initials ‘‘A. A. M.” Mrs. Leroi formerly was Agnes Anne Mason. Trunk Too Heavy for Her It would have been physically impossible for Mrs. Judd to lift the smaller steamer trunk containing the upper part of Miss Samuelson’s body, because she is slight and in poor health. An automobile was known to have followed the truck bearing the large trunk and Mrs. Judd between the two residences. Mrs. Judd, according to her husband, was not familiar with the use of surgical instruments, amd autopsy surgeons declared Miss Samuelson’s body was dissected by an “expert.” Miss Samuelson’s body was dissected in the bathtub of her own home and not at another place, as shown by bloodstains found behind the tub and a blood-encrusted handkerchief hidden in an ash pile. Sheriff J. R. McFadden said today that he had found witnesses who saw Mrs. Judd return to her apartment at 1:10 a. m., Saturday, about three hours after the murders. Report Clew in Oklahoma By United Press OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Oct. 23. —Tom Lewis, an unemployed laborer, reported to Sheriff Stanley Rogers today that a woman who “looked exactly like Mrs. Winnie Ruth Judd,” wanted in the Phoenix trunk murders, asked him to drive her motor car last night. Lewis, loitering about a filling station about 7:30 p. m., said a Moon sedan drove to the station. “The driver, a woman wearing a red spotted dress, asked me if I could drive her car to the edge of (Turn to Page 20) Hourly Temperatures 6a. m 55 10 a. m 68 7a. m 55 11 a. m 73 Ba. m 62 12 (noon).. 74 9 a. m 64 1 p. m 75

Cheery Refrain By United Press CLEVELAND, Oct. 23.—Joe Bilczon, 18, was free today because he loves music and because the judge he faced has the same appreciation. While working last summer, Joe bought an accordion. Thrown out of a job, he couldn’t keep up the payments, and was threatened with its loss by collectors. So Joe covertly took another accordion from the store which refused to extend him further time. He needed it to keep up his practice, he said. Detectives,' who arrested him, took one accordion, collectors took the other. “A boy who loves music as well as that can’t be all bad,” •observed Police Judge Bradley Hull, suspending a thirtyday sentence.
