CAPONE WILL HEAR FATE IN COURT TODAY Gangster Reported Ready to -Take Rap’ If Not Over Three Years. STRAIN TELLS ON AL 1 Dethroned Crime Despot Gray-Faced and Glum; Indictment Hit. By 1 iiitril I'rru* CHICAGO, Oct. 24.—A1 pone today was sentenced to eleven years in prison and fined $50,000. BY RAY BLACK United Press Staff Corresoondenl FEDERAL BUILDING, CHICAGO, Oct. 24.—Belated sentence on an income tax fraud conviction awaited the gangster, A1 Capone, in United States district court today. Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson listened to arguments of opposing counsel until noon Friday, then adjourned the hearing until 10 a. m. today. The judge was expected to have ready a written ruling on the defense motion to suspend judgment and a written sentence. All arguments had been completed. Actual sentencing promised to be a, matter of bombshell rapidity. Capone Shows Strain Capone, found guilty a week ago tonight of income tax evasion on three felony and two misdemeanor counts, and facing a maximum of seventeen years impirsonment and $50,000 fine, has grow gray-faced and glum under the strain of awaiting sentence. He shrugged his shoulders and trudged out of the courtroom after Defense Attorneys Albert Fink and Michael Ahern had exhausted their final arguments against the indictment they contended was too vague to be binding. Capone was reported today by his gang associates as ready to take a “rap’’ of three years or less. It was said he would direct his attorney not to file an appeal if Judge Wilkerson decrees a term in Leavenworth penitentiary not longer than that. Indictment Is Attached The crux of the defense arguments was that the indictment on which the gang chief was convicted was so general that he could be tried again on practically the same charges, and if convicted could not plead double jeopardy for the same offenses. Jacob Grossman, assistant United States district attorney, contended, however, the indictment was drawn as provided by statute and could not have been more specific without disclosing the prosecution's evidence.

Hoover Will Issue Message of World Importance Today | Announcement, Possibly on Radical Cut in Reparations and War Debts, to Follow Parley With Laval. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Pie** Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.—An announcement of world importance | is expected later today as a result of the conversations between President Hoover and Premier Laval during the latter’s overnight stay at the | White House. It was thought in some quarters that this would deal in general with . the possibility of radically reducing both reparations and war debts. A formal statement was to be issued at the White House this afternoon. Five men sat in the historic Lincoln study on the second floor of the White House for several hours Friday night seeking an approach | to the tangled European economic situation which is retarding world i recovery from the depression.

BAN STAYS ON TEACHING WIVES Unmarried Women Get Night School Preference. Policy of the school board against employment of married women as teachers in Indianapolis public schools will be maintained as far as possible in appointment of night school teachers, Superintendent Paul C. Stetson said today. Already, among night school teachers working under pending appointments, two or three married women have been replaced. Stetson declined to make public their names, for two reasons. First, he said, they were not working under regular appointments, which will not be made until Oct. 27. And, second, use of their names would embarrass them unnecessarily, he said, tending to indicate that they had been discharged for incompetency, when such was not the case. “It is our policy,” he said, “to distribute the work as far as possible, and, therefore, we will name no married women, provided, however, that a competent unmarried wotnan can be obtained for the post. “In a few instances this has not been possible in night schools. There teachers of special subjects must obtain permits from the state department of education, and we have been unable to find an unmarried woman who could obtain the permit in a few courses.” Widows are not affected by the order, and married women whose husbands are so afflicted to prevent their employment have been shown consideration.

CLEARING SKIES DUE Slight Temperature Drop, Week-End Prediction. Clear skies, with a slight drop in temperature, was forecast today as the week-end weather, following heavy rain in Indianapolis Friday night and early today. Precipitation totaled .37 inch here and additional showers are expected today with the unsettled condition clearing before Sunday morning, according to the weather bureau.

They were President Hoover, Premier Laval, Secretary of State Stimson, Underseceretary of Treasury Mills and Jacques Bizot, interpreter. The conference ended at midnight. Discuss World Depression After some preliminary talk, a statement was isued at the White House saying Mr. Hoover and Premeir Laval were discussing solely policies which each of the governments could develop to expedite recovery from the world economic depression. This indicated a disposition not to attempt to make an agreement involving other powers, but rather to find common ground. France is in position to act with regard to reducing reparations, she being the only country which collects from Germany any sizable margin over what is paid to the United States on war debts. The United States is in position to reduce debts according to capacity to pay. Senator William E. Borah, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, went so far as to say on the eve of the Hoover-Laval discussion that he would be willing to see the entire debt canceled, provided all reparations likewise were wiped off the slate. It is too late for another moratorium now, Borah said. Willing to Cancel Debts “If reparations were cancelled,” he said, “I would be perfectly willing, in my humble capacity, to advocate the cancellation of our debts.” The White House statement said: “Both the President and Premier Laval wish it made clear that the conversations upon which they are engaged are solely in respect to such policies as each of the two governments can develop to expedite recovery from the world economic depression. “There is no remote basis whatever for statements as to ‘demands,’ ‘terms of settlement’ or any other like discussion. “Happily, there are no controversies to be settled between France and America. None such exists. “The sole purpose of these conversations is the earnest, frank exchange of views, with view to finding common ground for helpful action in promotion of constructive progress in the world.”

Confer Again Tonight Another vital discussion, expected to deal principally with disarmament, will take place tonight and Sunday, when, after luncheon with Secretary of Treasury Mellon today, Laval goes to Woodley, the home of Secretary Stimson, to stay over night. Stimson plans a stag dinner. This will be followed by a stroll Sunday morning through the wooded slopes of the beautiful estate when the two rpen can talk freely. It will be their last important conversation for Laval leaves for New York Sunday night or Monday morning to return to France. Senator Borah will be at the Stimson dinner tonight. Laval had indicated a desire to take Borah away into a corner for a private talk, but, in view of Borah's statement Friday and Laval's subsequent reaction to it, there was some speculation as to whether this interview would take place. French correspondents, after informing Laval of Borah's utterances, quoted the French premier as saying he did not desire “to exchange polemics with Senator Borah, or to discuss revision of the treaty of Versailles.'’ They met at the White House dinner Thursday night, Borah having been invited anJiour and a half before the dinner began. They came away enthusiastic in praise of each other. Far apart they may be on some questions, but they understood each ; other at first sight—both are frank, I outspoken and their differences do | not diminish their respect for each I other. As tribute to the importance atj tached to his opinions in France. • the French correspondents traveling | with Laval sought a special press conference with Borah, at which | they put frank questions and re- | ceived frank answers. Boarh told them this country : could not guarantee security for j France or any nation: that disarmaj ment could succeed only if Europe adjusted such differences as have arisen over the Polish corridor. Upper Silesia and the partition of Hungary. He insisted the Versailles treaty must be revised and Russia recognized before real peace can be obtained. Chicago Stocks Opening ißv James T.

JAPANESE SAY ‘NO’TO LEAGUE PEACE PLANS Formula to End Strife in Manchuria Rejected by Tokio. PEACE HOPES WANING Nipponese Delegates Refuse to Explain ‘Principles’ at Issue. By Lnited Press GENEVA. Oct. 24.—Japan rejected the League of Nations formula for settlement of the Manchurian dispute with China today. Kenkichi Yoshizawa, Japanese delegate, told the league council that his government was unable to accept the council’s draft. The league council adjourned until 4 p. m. without voting on either the council’s resolutions or the Japanese counter-proposals. Lack of explanation of the “fundamental principles” on which Japan demanded direct negotiations ruined chances of a settlement at the morning session of the council and made the outlook for agreement at this afternoon’s session appear hopeless. Japan refused an explanation of the “fundamental principles” and the council refused to consider the principles without full explanation, claiming they -would not be clear to the public. The resolution was made public Friday. It recommended that China and Japan appoint representatives to arrange details of evacuation of Japanese troops to within the treaty zone in Manchuria, and that they begin direct negotiations as soon as evacuation was completed. It also suggested the creation of a permanent Sino-Japanese conciliatory committee. May Quit League By United Press TOKIO, Oct. 24.—Resignation of Japan from the League of Nations still was considered a possibility today, although officials hoped for a solution of the Manchurian dispute at Geneva. An official statement said continuation of the Geneva deadlock probably would mean that Japan would reject all proposals as unsatisfactory and issue a declaration of her position to the world. Recent reversals of the announced Japanese stand, however, ranging fi'om announced rejection to conditional acceptance of the league proposals, made the possibility of withdrawal from the league appear slight. It was said officially that Japan’s attitude was unchanged, but further bargaining with China was expected, including the possible Chinese acceptance of all past agreements. Civil authorities opposed the desire of the army to send 3,600 more Japanese troops from Korea into Manchuria, which the army claimed still would leave the number under the treaty limit.

POOR AID LEVY HIKED 5 CENTS Center Township Tax Rate Boosted to $2.72. Asa result of the increasing demand it*r poor relief, the Center township advisory board has increased the levy for that specific fund from 7% cents to 12% cents, Harry Dunn, county auditor, announced today. This will place at $2.72 the total tax rate to be paid by Indianapolis citizens living in Center township and despite the poor relief increase represents a cut of 6 cents under the present levy. “The poor relief levy was increased over my objection,” Dunn declared. It was voted by the board after a conference with Walter Clarke, its attorney. Under the 7% cent relief levy as first proposed, there only could be raised $419,369.93, which would have paid the provender and heat bills contracted to Sept. 1. The increase will care for the relief work through the remainder of the year.

LINDYS REACH HOME Land at Englewood Airport After Uneventful Trip. By United Press ENGLEWOOD, N. J., Oct. ,24. Colonel and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh rested today after their return to Mrs. Lindbergh’s home here from their airplane trip to the orient. They landed on the flood-lighted field at Metropolitan airport, Newark, at 9:24 Friday night. Colonel Lindbergh asked newspapermen: “I beg to be excused from saying anything at this time.” Mrs. Lindbergh said the trip across the country was very pleasant. . Only about 150 persons, including airport employes, were at the field when they landed. After declining an offer of a police escort to the Morrow home, Lindbergh changed his mind and asked for motorcycle policemen to escort his car .through the heaviest of the Newark traffic, for about a mile from the field.

Discovery of the theft was made shortly after the delivery to the fake messenger. Authorities throughout the nation also are seeking trace of other bonds stolen from the New York firm.

EMPLOYER RIDDLES TALE OF SELF DEFENSE TOLD TO POLICE BY RUTH JUDD

Killed Roommates - After Miss Sameulson Shot Her, She Says. DODGES POLICE CORDON Gives Up at Funeral Home, Goes to Hospital for Treatment. BY GEORGE H. BEALE United Press Staff Correspondent LOS ANGELES, Oct. 24. —Composed and defiant, Winnie Ruth Judd, comely blond, was held today on a charge that she murdered two fermer roommates in Phoenix, Ariz. Selecting a funeral parlor as the scene, she voluntarily surrendered Friday night to peace officers, who had sought her for almost 100 hours. She told them that she shot Miss Hedvig Samuelson, 27, and Mrs. Agnes Leroi, 25, in self defense. Detective Chief Joe Taylor said she admitted dissecting the body of Miss Samuelson and then packing and shipping both bodies from Phoenix to Los Angeles as luggage. Hid in Los Angeles Since the discovery of the bodies in two trunks and a suitcase here Monday, and while thousands of police hunted her from Mexico to Canada, she stayed “here and there in downtown Los Angeles. ’ She exhibited a bullet in her left hand to suppport her contention that the killings were acts of selfdefense. Taylor said she claimed she had no accomplice. The comely 27-year-old woman was questioned at length by Arizona and California officials, but she composedly stuck by the story she told. She refused to answer many questions and declined to elaborate much on any point, including the motive. When asked why she shipped the bodies to Los Angeles, she merely shook her head. Attacked, She Says Her story, as Repeated by Taylor, was that she herself started the fatal argument when she made an uncomplimentary remark about Mrs. Leroi while visiting the two girls Friday night. > “I killed them after Miss Samuelson shot me in the hand during the quarrel,” she was quoted by Taylor as saying. “I scuffled with Miss Samuelson and the gun dropped to the floor. Mrs. Leroi hit me on the head with an ironing board. I fell to the floor. I picked up Miss Samuelson’s gun. Then I shot them both.” Despite Taylor’s statements, Mrs. Judd’s attorney, Richard Cantillon, once the defender of William Edward Hickman, executed murderer, said she made “no statement of legal standing.” “And she will make none until she goes to trial,” he added.

Bullet Is Removed Following-, her surrender, Mrs. Judd was taken to the Georgia street receiving hospital, where a .25-caliber bullet was removed from her left hand. Bullets of the same size killed Miss Samuelson and Mrs. Leroi. Fearful of being detected if she appeared at a physician's office or a hospital, Mrs. Judd had suffered the painful wound for a week with only applications of “home remedies.” Police surgeons said the hand was infected badly and anti-toxin was administered to guard against gangrene or lockjaw. Mrs. Judd’s surrender was as unusual as it was dramatic. Knowing that her husband, Dr. William C. Judd, Santa Monica physician, had engaged attorneys to represent her, she telephoned him several times during the day. She disapproved of each suggested meeting place, however, until Cantillon finally mentioned a funeral parlor operated by an old and close friend of his. • Unseen by Police “I think that will be all right,” she said over the telephone, “send someone to meet me at Fifth and Olive streets —in front of the Biltmore hotel.” This location is one of the busiest in Los Angeles and in view of hundreds of passersby and many policemen who were looking for her she kept the appointment with David Malloy, employe of Gus Alvarez, funeral parlor owner. “I’m a little nervous,” she told Malloy, as she entered the automobile that took her to the funeral parlors. “My hand is hurting me dreadfully.” A wake was in progress in the mortuary when a dozen authorities and fifty newspaper men descended upon it. One mortuary attendant was knocked down when he attempted to prevent Detective Inspector David Davidson from entering the upstairs room where Mrs. Judd was secluded. Mrs. Judd finally came down to go to headquarters. Faces Camera Barrage She was supported by her two attorneys and followed by Dr. Judd and her brother, B. J. McKinnell, and the dozen police officials. Mrs. Judd was wearing a green sports outfit, and a fur-trimmed black coat. She wore no stockings or hat and carried no handbag.

RUTH JUDD MUM ON HER ’HIDEOUT' Husband Says She Stayed in Vacant House. By United Press LOS ANGELES, Oct. 24. The “hideout” of Mrs. Winnie Ruth Judd during the four days she was sought for the slayings of Hedvig Samuelson and Agnes Leroi remained as much a mystery today as ever. “Wnere have you been hiding?” a reporter shouted to her as she entered the county jail. “Here —and there—around town,” was her reply. Dr. William C. Judd, her husband, said she told him she had stayed at an unoccupied house near the city since Monday. She added, he said, that she had dyed her black dress green to avoid detection, purchasing the dye from a drug store and using the wash basin in a public rest room as the “laundry.” hair curled over her eyes could not hide her attractiveness. Her hand was swathed in an ungainly white bandage. “Look up, Ruth! Look up!” a photographer called. She did, then winched as a dozen flashbulbs exploded. As relatives and police crowded in to get in camera range, Mrs. Judd appeared the most composed person in the room, despite her weakened condition. “My God, but I feel sick,” the woman, a tubercular said. One Meal in Four Days “How long since you’ve eaten?” a reporter asked. “She’s had one meal in four days,” Dr. Judd answered for her. “You see she had very little money.” Mrs. Judd was taken from the mortuary to the hospital and there, on the operating table, she showed her first sign of nerves. She screamed when a photographer dropped a flashbulb on the floor and she babbled a bit to her husband when she was given gas. “I’ve told them everything,” she said to her husband. "Don't let them question me any more and please make them stop taking pictures.” From the hospital, she was taken to the detective bureau. Hours later, detectives admitted Mrs. Judd “almost defied questioning” and that she gave them little information. A fight over extradition developed immediately. County attorney Lloyd Andrews of Phoenix asked for extradition papers, but Attorney Cantillon was granted a writ of habeas corpus, returnable Nov. 3, preventing her from being taken from Los Angeles county until after arguments then. Story Is Attacked Arizona officials bitterly assailed Mrs. Judd’s story. They said they did not believe her story of self-defense, nor her claim that she had no accomplice. As the prosecution and defense girded for the bitter legal struggle to come, Mrs. Judd’s relatives declared they would stand by her. “We are glad to end the suspense of a week,” said the Rev. W. H. McKinnell, aged father of the prisoner. The retired minister was quoted as saying that he and his invalid wife would sell their home in Darlington, Ind.. and come to Los Angeles to aid their daughter. Mrs. Judd’s husband and her student brother made similar statements. Bothr said they would stand by her to the end.

Blonde Suspect’s Hand Was Not Wounded Day After Tragedy, He Says. SHOT SELF. IS BELIEF Authorities Are Sure That Minister’s Daughter Had Accomplice. BY GEORGE D. CRISSEY United Press Staff Correspondeni PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 24.—Mrs. Winnie Ruth Judd’s hands were unhurt as she used a typewriter expertly the day after Agnes Leroi and Hedvig Samuelson were killed, Dr. Louis Baldwin, her former employer, told the United Press today. Baldwin said he knew positively that Mrs. Judd, slayer suspect, Indiana minister’s daughter, did not receive a bullet wound in her hand on the Friday night she claimed she shot the two women in self-defense, after Miss Samuelson shot her. “There was nothing wrong with Mrs. Judd on Saturday, the day after the killing,” Dr. Baldwin said. “She typed for me all day. It is logical to presume I would have observed a severely wounded hand. Shot Self, Is Belief “We believe Mrs. Judd shot her own hand after the killing, to support a self-defense plea,” G. A. Rodgers, deputy county attorney] declared after hearing Dr. Baldwin’s story. “Mrs. Judd has a lot of explaining to do,” said Rodgers. “I, for one, do not believe her claim" that a ‘spat’ among three girl friends turned all by itself to a murderous brawl.” Officials, clinging to the theory that the woman did not commit the murders unassisted, concentrated on looking for an accomplice. * They doubted that a woman as slight as Mrs. Judd could drag heavy trunks from a garage and load them with two bodies after dismembering the body of Miss Samuelson.

Sure of Guilt “It was hard to bclibve,” Rodgers said, "that Mrs. Judd was strong enough to commit the crime alone, when we thought she had two goods hands. With one hand virtually useless from the wounds she claimed Miss Samuelson inflicted, my theory is sustained. Where doubt previously existed, there is conviction now. “Please bear in mind that Mrs. Leroi’s trunk, which served as her temporary casket, was a large, bulky container. There are four important reasons for believing she had help.' “A woman with an injured hand could not pack the body of Mrs. Leroi, a heavier person than Mrs, Judd, into that trunk. “A woman with an injured hand could not drag the body of Miss Samuelson into the bathroom of her home and cut it up in the tub, as was done. “A woman with an injured hand could not return to the murder scene and work like a trojan in cleaning up the bloody mess. Certain She Had Accomplice “In short, there is no doubt but that Mrs. Judd had help, on a basis of her own claims. There is a doubt, however, that her hand was injured during the shooting. “Asa matter of fact,” Sheriff J. R. McFadden interjected, “she claimed her hand was so bad Sunday that she asked a neighbor to open a can of salmon for ‘mister cat,’ her pet. A person unable to open a can can not dissect a body.” Rogers worked through the night preparing extradition papers, which Sheriff rushed by airplane to California, where Lloyd J. Andrew’s, Maricopa county attorney, will start the fight to return the woman to Arizona. First degree murder charges have been filed against her. The penalty in this state for such a crime is hanging. Sees Hand of Drug Rir^ Rqdgers said he still believed a narcotic ring was involved. “This isn't an open and shut case of shooting in self-defense or during a fit of anger, in my opinion. There is a definite motive and Tire will bring it to light before Mn. Judd and her accomplice go on trial. It is, in fact, the flimsiest self-de-fense plea I ever heard. “For on e thing, we’ll find out why Mrs. Judd turned against the girls after a long period of friendship. That is the case for us.” PORKERS SHOW WEAKER TREND AT CITY YARDS Cattle Quotably Steady; Receipts Are Small.
