LOUIS HAMILTON BRANDED KILLED Segregation of Witnesses Is Ordered by Judge. By Tima Special LEBANON, Ind., Nov. 23.—Presentation of evidence by the state continued in Boone circuit court here today against Louis E. Hamilton of lola, Kan., charged with the murder of Lafayette A. Jackson, Indianapolis chain grocery operator, during a robbery in May, 1931. Charles Vernon Witt, alleged accomplice of Hamilton, convicted of murder, is awaiting death in the electric chair at the Indiana state prison. Judge Fred E. Hines of Noblesville, presiding at the trial, ordered segregation of witnesses Tuesday, a step not taken in the trial of Witt and in a previous trial of Hamilton, in which a jury disagreed. It was ordered also that court sessions will be held Thursday despite the Thanksgiving holiday and there will be a session Sunday. The sessions will set a precedent in the local court. Jurors will be kept together until the end of the trial. Hines said he ordered the continuous trial to save expense for Marion county. When court opened this morning the state had ten witnesses yet to be heard. Two testified Tuesday, Ray Gibson, manager of the main store of the Jackson chain, scene of the slaying, and Walter England, Negro porter of the place. Hamilton was identified by Gibson as the man who “shot it out” with Mr. Jackson. England testified to seeing Hamilton and Witt in the store.

Mr. Roosevelt, came, looked and listened, and left the problem in Hoover's lap. Their conference at the White House was friendly, but devoid of concrete results. They met in a pleasant atmosphere, and no hard feelings were exhibited by the recent enemies at the polls. Mr. Hoover and Mills smoked cigars—the President’s cigars—while Mr. Roosevelt and Professor Raymond I. Moley, his economic adviser, smoked cigarets. He Is Good Listener Mr. Hoover and Mills did most of the talking, while their guests listened. In their effort to win over the President-elect to their desire for leniency, the President and his secretary of the treasury outlined the adverse effect a Dec. 15 default would have on world exchange and world conditions. But, so far as can be ascertained, Mr. Roosevelt carried out the role he had announced. He was a good listener. Pending his conference with congressional leaders, he will not attempt to “dictate” to the December session. In future talks with Democratic leaders here and at Warm Springs he will formulate a program and probably present it on March 4. HECKER IS NOMINATED Candidate for Presidency of G. O. P. Club in Irvington. Edward J. Hecker Sr. has been nominated for president of the Irvington Republican Club to succeed Harold F. Kealing, the incumbent. The election will take place Dec. 4. Others nominated are: Alfred Hogston, state fire marshal, vicepresident; Arthur F. Eickhoff. second vice-president; Stanton Phillips, secretary, and Merrill J. Woods, treasurer.

Two, Struck by Same . Auto, Are Killed Here
Motorists Are Absolved in Traffic Tragedy on North Side. Identity of one of two men who were killed when they were struck by the same auto at Capitol avenue and Fourteenth street, Tuesday night, is sought today by police. One of the victims was identified today as Thomas Byrne, 60, of 15 North Highland avenue. Body of his companion lays unidentified in city morgue. The deaths increased the traffic toll in Marion county since the first of the year to eighty-three.
Walking rapidly across Capitol avenue, in a heavy rain, the two men apparently became confused in traffic and stepped into the
83
path of a car driven by Gamewell Page, 24, a soldier at Ft. Benjamin Harrison. Force of the impact hurled the unidentified man into a line of traffic moving in the opposite direction and he was run over by an auto driven by Jewett Snipp, 23, of 1806 Southeastern avenue. Absolved by Police Byrne was knocked to the pavement after being struck by the first car. He died in the hospital admitting room of a fractured skull and fractures of both legs. The unidentified man succumbed to a skull fracture, broken legs, fractured ribs and extensive lacerations. Both Page and Snipp, driver of the second car, were absolved by police of blame. Technical charges of involuntary manslaughter probably will be placed against them piror to a hearing before Coroner William E. Arbuckle. Identification of Byrne was made today by two relatives living at the Highland avenue address, home of Byrne’s father, William Byrne, former city employe. Empty Bottle Found Sergeant Frank Owen of the police accident prevention bureau said an empty bottle with the odor of whisky was taken from a pocket of the unidentified man’s clothing. The latter was described as weighing about 135 pounds, 5 feet 8 inches tall, with gray hair. He was about 65. He wore a brown sweater. In an effort to avoid striking one of the men Snipp swerved his car and collided with another driven in the same direction by Lynn B. Schciesz, 5761 North Delaware street. Little damage was caused.
