OPEN JACKSON MURDER TRIAL AT LEBANON Selection of Witt-Hamilton Jury Is Expected to Take Three Days. ARGUE OVER PROCEDURE Ira Holmes and Elza Rogers, Defense Counsel, to Attack Confessions. BULLETIN By United Prrss LEBANON, Ind., Jan. 11.— Electing first to try Charles Vernon Witt, in connection with the slaying of L. A. Jackson, Indianapolis chain store grocer, attor- 1 neys this afternoon had examined thirty prospective jurors. Twelve talesmen in the jury box at noon said they held no scruples against the death penalty. Louis E. Hamilton, charged with Witt, will not be permitted in court during Witt’s trial. By Times Special LEBANON, Ind., Jan. 11.—Selection of a jury to try Charles Vernon Witt and Louis E. Hamilton for the murder of Lafayette A. Jackson, Indianapolis chain store chief, May 27, 1931, was delayed here today while attorneys wrangled over procedure. Prepared to try the suspects together on the first degree murder count, the state was opposed by defense attorneys, who said they understood Witt was to be tried first. Defense counsel said they were not prepared to try Hamilton, and said a motion to separate the cases will have to be filed. The court had not ruled un the matter shortly before noon. The court was jammed with spectators and fifty of 100 prospective jurors, drawn for examination by state and defense attorneys. Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson and Floyd Mattice, chief deputy prosecutor of Marion county, and Ben Scifres, Boone county prosecutor, began examination of the talesmen. Ira Holmes, Indianapolis and Elza O. Rogers, local attorney, are counsel for tIA alleged killers. The statute under which Witt and Hamilton are being tried, murder during perpetration of a robbery, makes the death sentence mandatory, should the duo be convicted. Jury Choice May Be Slow Selection of a jury of Boone county residents is expected to take at least three days, while trial of the case probably will last two weeks. The state will charge that Hamilton and Witt attempted to rob the Standard Grocery Company headquarters, 419 East Washington street, last May 27. It will be alleged that Jackson, owner of the grocery chain, fired at the pair as they entered the front door of the store. For years Jackson had threatened to “fight it out” with bandits and, on this occasion, he carried out his pledge. He fired several times with a rifle and was caught in the bandits’ cros-fire.

Died Next Day Mr. Jackson died the day after he was wounded. The state’s case will rest heavily on purported confessions of Witt and Hamilton, which detectives said the murder suspects signed after their arrest. Witt was captured by police in Indianapolis as he approached a rooming house two weeks after the shooting. Hamilton, branded the “trigger man,” was nabbed in lola, Kan., his home, in June. His parents came to Indianapolis for his arraignment and today were in the Lebanon courtroom. Defense counsel will allege brutal police methods were used to obtain purported confessions from Witt and Hamilton and that witnesses have erred in their identification of the suspects as the alleged slayers. Fails to Recall Shooting Hamilton, in his alleged statement to officers, declared he diaYiot recall firing the shots said to have struck Jackson, because he was stunned by a bullet from the grocer’s gun which struck him in the head. One of the state's chief witnesses will be Detective Charles Bauer. He was wounded by the bandit's gunfire when he ran into the store during the shooting. He and employes of the store, who already are said to have identified the defendants, will testify. With repudiation of their alleged confessions, it was indicated by defense attorneys that Witt and Hamilton may take the witness stand in heir own defense. Delayed Several Times Pre-trial action in the case included several postponements and a fight between Holmes and Sheriff Charles (Buck) Sumner at the Marion county jail. Holmes alleged he was refused admission to the cells of the suspects and the battle ensued. Witt and Hamilton were brought here Saturday from Indianapolis. Before being held in the Marion county jail, they had been in the Indiana reformatory. Opening of the trial is the second important court battle to be waged here in seven months. Mrs. Carrie W. Simmons, of Wilkinson, was tried for more than five weeks last fall on a charge of the poison murders of her daughters in June. 1931. The jury failed to reach a verdict.

HOOVER CALLS CREDITPARLEY Amendments Fail to Meet President’s Approval. By Tinited Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—A special conference on his emergency financial legislation was called today by President Hoover at the White House. While congress pressed forward with the $2,000,000,000 reconstruction finance corporation bill, the President called in Senators Carter Glass (Dem., Va.), and Frederic C. Walcott (Rep., Conn.), Governor Eugene Meyer of the federal reserve board and Ogden Mills, undersecretary of treasury, for a prolonged discussion o| the general economic situation. Mr. Hoover was understood to be not entirely reconciled to certain amendments which have been added to the two billion dollar credit project, which had the right of way in both houses of congress as the new week began. Senator Glass, first to emerge from the surprise meeting, which began at 8:30 a. m., said that, while he could not disclose details of the conversation, it had concerned “certain difficulties which the President called us in to assist in ironing out.” Meanwhile, the senate worked today under an agreement to pass the measure by tonight, while the house began consideration of a similar bill. PREDICT AUTO USE Studebaker, Oakland Motor Chiefs Optimistic. By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—Automobile executives attending the thirtysecond annual show today, such as Albert Russel Erskine, president of the Studebaker Corporation, and I. J. Reuter, president and general manager of the Oakland Motor Car Company, are prepared for a rise in motor car sales this year. “Many of the existing cars, numbering 6.000.000 are practically worn out and must be replaced in 1932 through sheer necessity if normal transportation requirements are to be met,” Erskine said. Reuter thinks a turn is ahead because “the let-down in business has covred a two-and-a-half year period and the longer the curtailment lasts the more certain we are that a turn for better is at hand.”

THIEVES ESCAPE WITH $16,577 IN CIGARETS

Identity of a gang of thieves who chiseled their way into the Hamil-ton-Harris & Cos. tobacco warehouse, 384-98 South Senate avenue, Saturday night, hauling away $16,577 worth of cigarets, remained unknown to police today. The burglars broke a hole through two walls thirty inches thick to gain access to the second floor of the warehouse. Two trucks of the Gordon Furniture Company warehouse, adjoining the tobacco warehouse, were stolen to haul away the booty. Detectives investigating the burglary said the thieves apparently were familiar with the layout and alarm system. The thieves first pried open a rear door at the Diamond Truck Company, 378 South Senate avenue, and then tore away a section of the wall to enter the Gor-

Laurence Dennis, Expert on South America, Reveals Business Practices. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—Charges that banking houses floating foreign loans in the post-war foreign financing era, “rigged” the market before putting out new issues were voiced before the senate finance committee today by Laurence Dennis, expert on South American finances. Dennis formerly was in the diplomatic service, but resigned in 1927 to become associate dwith J. and W. Seligman & Cos., New York bankers, who made heavy loans to South America. The bankers, he said, as a rule believed they were acting ethically. “One thing they did which was wrong,’’ he continued, “was to rig the market for selling of these bonds. They would bid up the issues of other bonds of the same country before putting the new bonds on the market. They would rig them up three or four points. That practice has been a legal fraud from the queen’s bench in England. I do not think it is a legal fraud here.” Loans Called Absurd Dennis declared that it was “absurd” for American bankers to lorn money to South America since the World war. He also said: That he believed holders of Pe-. ruvian bonds “in two or three years, will be very happy to make an agreement for 5 or 10 cents on the dollar.” That Bolivar used some of the money derived from American loans for purchase of arms. That he had predicted when they were made that a series of Peruvian loans would be in default within five years. The loans have been defaulted. That $1,500,000 of the money loaned Bolivia was used for military purposes in the Chaco—a region involved in a dispute between Bolivia and Paraguay. * Arms Are Purchased That only $2,259,000 of a $23,000,00” Bolivian loan w’as used for public works, and that $3,904,000 was used for making up deficits and paying back salaries of officials. That $5,061,000 was sent to Vickers of London, as payment on a contract for the purchase of arms. The Bolivian minister, before the hearing started today, gave out a memorandum from his government to the state department saying that his government had every intention to pay back the money it had borrowed. Dennis said the department of finance of Bolivia was in chaos and had not been “audited since the war.” Senator Johnson (Rep., CalJ read at the opening of the hearing a letter of S. Parker Gilbert, reparations expert, dated Paris, Nov. 3, 1926: “I constantly am amazed at the recklessness of American bankers floating German loans,” Gilbert stated. He pointed out that the Versailles treaty gave priority to reparations. The letter was addressed to Paul Cravath. Ex-President of France 111.

Two hundred forty-five cases were pushed through the hole into the Gordon warehouse, where they were loaded on the stolen trucks. The trucks later were recovered. One was found at Sumner avenue and Illinois Central railroad, and the second at Harding street and Troy avenu£ Edward W. Harris, president, said the cigarets were not insured. Yeggmen who worked the combination of a large safe at the Hampton Printing Company, 117 West Georgia street, Saturday night, stole $25, but overlooked several valuable pieces of jewelry, police were informed.

DOCTOR URGES BEER TO CURE INTEMPERANCE Senate Committee Is Told That Two Quarts Daily Is Safe to Drink. TONIC, HE DECLARES Favorable Effect on Youth of Nation Seen If Brew Is Legalized. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. —Dr. William Gerry Morgan, former president of the American Medical Association, told a senate committee today that the average man or woman safely could drink two quarts of beer daily. Morgan appeared before the committee in behalf of the Bingham 4 per cent beer bill, which he said would curb intemperance among young and old. He said that reasonable quantities •of beer had no deleterious effects on the human system. Senator Hatfield (Rep., W. Va.) cited statements to the contrary by Dr. William H. Welch of Johns Hopkins hospital, Baltimore. Dr. Morgan replied that Welch’s inquiry was made some time ago and that Welch later had told him he ‘‘felt the conclusions might be materially altered” if the inquiry were repeated under present conditions. Viewed as Food Dr. Morgan said the “Germans consumed beer because they liked it,” and because it had a normal laxative effect. Hatfield, who also is a physician, asked Dr. Morgan if a beer drinker should operate a buzz-saw, a typewriter, an automobile or other machines. Dr. Morgan said he believes that would be all right. “I look on beer as food because of its vitamin content, and because for persons who temporarily have lost their appetite it serves as a tonic,” Dr. Morgan said. “I do not believe beer would be intoxicating in any amount in which it might be taken. Would Help Youth “If 4 per cent beer were legalized, I believe it would have a very favorable effect upon the youth of the nation. “I have had ample opportunity to observe conditions throughout our country, visiting every state in the last two and one-half years. I have been impressed with the seeming increase of the use of intoxicating liquors. Liquor can be purchased without any great difficulty in every city and town I have been in.” He said that at banquets many of the younger men and women had liquor on the hip and produced their flasks. ARREST MRS. GANDHI Mahatma’s Wife, Aid Held for Revolt Activities. By United Press BOMBAY, Jan. 11.—Mrs. M. K. Gandhi, wife of the Mahatma Gandhi, and Miss Patel, member of a family prominent in support of Gandhi’s independence program, were arrested today. The nationalist civil disobedience campaign took anew turn when brokers at the cotton seed and bullion share markets decided not to transact business until Gandhi is released from prison at Poona. Nationalist volunteers picketed bullion safe deposits to prevent the export of gold. BOOTH TO PHILIPPINES Major-General Hines Is Relieved of Island Command. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—MajorGeneral Ewing E. Booth, commanding first cavalry division at Ft. Worth, Tex., was assigned by the war department today to command the Philippine department of the army. He will succeed Major-General John L. Hines, who was ordered to Washington for duty in the office of the chief of staff. Hines is to retire shortly.

Cardinal Calls Crooning Imbecile, Immoral Slush By United Press BOSTON, Jan. 11— Radio crooner a are “w’hiners, crying vapid words to impossible tunes in the basest appeal to sex emotion,” according to William Cardinal O’Connell, archbishop of Boston. The dean of the Roman Catholic hierarchy in America told 3,000 men of the Holy Name Society Sunday that no “true American man” would practice crooning. He said those who practice this base art, of course, aren’t men. “I like to use my radio when weary,” the Cardinal said. “I can’t turn the dial without hearing those whiners. If you will listen closely when you are unfortunate enough to get one of them, you will discern the basest appeal to sex emotion in the young. “They are not true love songs. They profane the name. They are ribald and revolting to true men. If you will have music, have good music, not this immoral, imbecile slush.” The prelate’s attack on modem trends in music was contained in a sermon on the effects of the depression and was prefaced by the remark, “I desire to speak earnestly anent a degenerate form of singing, which is called crooning.” Rudy Vallee, Russ Colombo, Bing Crosby and Nick Lucas are among the better known radio crooners, but Cardinal O’Connell mentioned no names in his attack. Crooning lifted the radio singers from obscurity to national popularity with its fabulous wages in money. From radio, the cardinal turned to the theater, which he said had degenerated into the presentation of “low-down, disreputable misrepresentation of the human race.”

Possibility of Suicide Pact With Former H üband Also Investigated. An ex-convict and a Negro are sought by detectives this afternoon in connection with the mysterious death of Miss Mary Watts, 20, of 513 South Senate avenue, pretty divorcee, whose body was found in White river near the Raymond street bridge Sunday. Authorities clung to the theory that Miss Watts probably had committed suicide, although Mrs. Arveta Wilson of the Senate avenue address, mother of the young woman, told detectives her daughter’s ex-husband often had threatened ehr life. Investigation revealed that John Foist, ex-convict and former husband of the young woman, had talked recently about a double suicide of the couple. Foist, 29, of 1342 Silver street, was released from the state reformatory last October after serving a liquor transportation conviction of one to two years. Await Further Clews Police did not begin dragging the river for Foist’s body after Mrs. Eva Reddy, mother of Foist, told of the suicide conversation, but said they would wait until further investigation had been completed. The Negro sought is Raymond Humphrey, 332 West McCarty street, at liberty under SI,OOO bond on a vagrancy charge, after he is alleged to have attempted to attack Miss Watts Jan. 3. Humphrey is to face trial on the charge before Municipal Judge Clifton R. Cameron Thursday. Foist and Miss Watts last were seen at 6 Saturday night by Russell De Hoff, Wyoming and West street*, who said he and a girl companion had spent the afternoon with the couple. He said he and his companion left Foist and th; young woman at the residence of George Rottger, 1250 Bridge street. Body Found in River De Hoff told officers he was to meet Foist and Miss Watts at 10 Saturday night at Senate avenue and South street, but he arrived late. He said De Hoff’s cap was in his car and he knew nothing of their whereabouts after he left Rottgar’s home. Miss Watts’ body was found by two men who investigated an object they saw hanging to a cable on a dredging machine in White river. Fully clothed except for her hat, the young woman’s body was unidentified until this morning. Mrs. Mary Pottsie, 333 Parkway avenue, aunt of the young woman, identified the body at the city morgue. Mrs. Wilson said Foist often had threatened to kill her daughter before and after their divorce

DAWES-KOOVER RIFT DISCOUNTED Friends Scoff at Reports of Break. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—Reports that Charles G. Dawes of Chicago anonunced his intention to resign as ambassador to Great Britain to be free to run for the presidency have caused more surprise than concern at the White House. Reports of rift between the President and his ambassador at the Court of St. James’ were ridiculed by persons close to Hoover. It was emphasized in a statement on Dawes’ abrupt announcement of his intended resignation that his action had been the subject of discussion frequently since Dawes’ return a few days ago from London. Furthermore, friends of both Hoover and Dawes said Dawes and the President long have been close personal friends, and it indicated there was no reason to believe anything has occurred to impair that friendship, Dawes came directly to the White House when he arrived from London, and was a guest of President and Mrs. Hoover. He was offered and accepted the chairmanship of the delegation to the arms conference at Geneva. This and other contacts with the President were cited to refute reports of % break. MERCURYJIU.

CINCINNATI CHILD SLAYER REVEALS GUILT TO POLICE Criminology Crank Breaks Down After Days of Grilling, to Confess Brutal Murder. GHASTLY STORY RELATED BY FIEND Victim Killed Slowly as He Kept Her Captive in Cellar; Thought He Could ‘Get Away With It.’ By United Press CINCINNATI, Jan. 11. —A horrible story of how he kidnaped 6-year-old Marian McLean from her play and took her to a musty cellar, where he slowly killed her, was told today by Charles Bischoff, 45, an eccentric whitewasher whose hobby was studying crime. Bischoff, in his stolid manner, told interviewers of the grewsome events which caused the child’s death, of leading her to the cellar of his home, where he made brutal attacks upon her, of watching her slow death, and of hiding her body until he feared his house would be searched.

After nineteen days of steady questioning since Marian’s body was “discovered” by Bischoff in the cellar, on Dec. 22, Sheriff Asa Butterfield and Prosecutor Robert Gorman announced they had broken Bischoff’s claim of innocence and secured his written confession that he killed the little girl “in a fit of insanity.” Bischoff asked leniency. He said he didn’t mean to kill the child. His story was at times incoherent. Trial to Be Rushed He will be brought speedily to trial, Prosecutor Gorman said. Gorman will present the evidence to the grand jury Tuesday, noping to secure a first degree murder indictment against Bischoff. Bischoff, termed by alienists as a man “of the type capable of committing crime,” pieced out the story of Marian’s abduction on the afternoon of Dec. 17 and of her torturous death. “I met her in the street and took her by the hand," he said. “She didn’t say very much. She got kind of funny and didn’t want to go down in the cellar with me, but I took her down there. I stayed there ten or fifteen minutes that time. I just wanted to play with her.” He told of repeated attacks upon the weakened child. Found Her Dead “When I saw she was dying, y left her lay. I don’t know just how it happened. She was dead Friday morning (Dec. 18), when I went down. I left her lay and went to get some breakfast. I knew they were looking for her, because I read it in the papers.” Bischoff said he went into the cellar on Friday afternoon, again on Saturday, and several times Monday. He said he didn’t touch her body until Monday morning, when he moved it to the front of the cellar, because he feared his aunt or some other person wGuld discover it. After reading in the newspapers of Monday night, Dec. 21, that firemen would search all houses and buildings in the vicinity of Marian’s home, Bischoff said he decided to pretend he had found the body in his basement. He declared he withstood day after day cf questioning by officers because “I thought I could get away without being caught. I just held back on them.” “I can’t help it now,” he told interviewers. “I done it and it’s done. Everything I have told you is the truth.” Bischoff’s confession read, in part: “I, Charles Bischoff, under no threats, or promise or encouragement, do hereby state and sign by

4. The Japanese consul general at Harbin is to apologize to Chamberlain. This already has been done. After studying Japan’s offer, made in addition to an apology expressed by Japanese Ambassador Debuchi here, Stimson cabled his reply to the Mukden consulate. By United Press TOKIO, Jan. 11.—Intensive Japanese engagements with Chinese irregulars in Manchuria, with many killed and wounded on both sides, were reported in advices today. In addition to the death of twenty Japanese, including the commander and four officers at Chinsi, in southern Manchuria, between Shanhaikwan and Chinchow, other engagements were reported. By United Press SHANGHAI, Jan. 11.—An official spokesman told the United Press today that China plans to sever diplomatic relations with Japan soon. The spokesman said that Chinese affairs at Tokio would be conducted through the German and American embassies there, a procedure adopted when the diplomatic representatives of one power are withdrawn from the capital of another government.

name that I killed Marian McLean in a fit of insanity and expect all leniency possible.” The confession w r as obtained Saturday night by a ruse of Captain j Lynn Black, a deputy, who, disguised as a relative of Marian’s, | “disarmed” questioners and “kidnaped” the suspect. Deputies Hopper and Freehand the sheriff were questioning Bischoff | in Butterfield’s office when Black burst into the room, brandishing a 1 gun. He pretended to disarm the officers, locking them in an adjoin- | ing washroom. He confronted the i nervouse suspect w’ith his pseudo- | identity. Faints When Accused Taking him to a dark garage in ' the basement of the courthouse, Black pointed his revolver at the prisoner. “I know you did it,” he accused. Bischoff fainted on the running board of a car, but revived shortly. “I know you did it,” Black repeated. “I know’ you murdered the girl.” “Well, I might have done it,” Bischoff muttered, according to the deputy. “I dont' remember.” The prisoner then was returned .to the sheriff’s office. Black darted ! outside. By this time the officers | had “liberated” themselves from the ! washroom. They made a fake call ; to a police station. “A relative of the McLean family just was over here putting the gun on Bischoff,” they said. “Get him.” Officers responded, later “capturing” the deputy. They pretended to administer a severe beating, after he made a lunge for the gun and warned Bischoff to talk. Black, his face wrapped up in a towel stained with red ink, was brought into the room. Bischoff then was asked if what he had told Black was true. Mother Sobs in Joy “I might have done it on the day the body was found, in a fit of insanity,” Bishoff was quoted as saying. His statement was read him Sunday and he corroborated it, questioners said. They continued to ply him with questions until all details were exposed early today. Advised of the confession, Mrs. McLean sobbed. “Oh,” she cried, “I’m so glad, so glad, to know that he confessed. I believed he was the man all the time. I knew my little girl had not gone from the neighborhood. Isn’t that good that we know what did happen?” UNION RAIL EMPLOYES CONFER ON WAGE CUTS Insist on Share in Benefits of Salary Reductions. By United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 11.—Union rajl employes would share equally with stockholders the benefits of any wage reduction, as reflected in increased income through a plan being drawn up by union heads here today. Twenty-one union executives representing 1,500,000 organized rail vorkers are conferring prior to meeting with a similar committee of carrier executives Thursday to discuss wage reductions and employment conditions. The labor chiefs made clear that they were not unalterably opposed to the proposed 10 or 15 per cent pay slash, providing concessions in working conditions and relief of idle workers are agreed to by the railroads.
