MASON OPENS ; COURT BATTLE FOR HIS LIFE State Urges Death in Chair for Alleged Slayer of Sergeant Jones. FEAR. DELIVERY EFFORT Guards Patrol Trial Scene and County Jail at NoblesvHle. BY JAMES A. CARVIN' Tim.* Staff Writer NOBLESVILLE. Nov. 27—With the “last mile” and the electric chair awaiting him if his guilt is proved, William H. Mason went on trial today for the alleged murder of Indianapolis police Sergeant Lester j Jones. Opening statement of the state, by Floyd Mattice, chief deputy prosecutor of Marion county, pictured events in the case from the time Sergeant Jones and a squad of two patrolmen answered the fatal radio call until the time the alleged slayers were captured in Covington, Ky. Sergeant Jones and his squad, expecting to investigate a fight at the Peoples Motor Ooach Company garage at- Indianapolis, walked into a withering blast of machine gun and pistol fire from the surprised bandits holding up the garage employes. Later, alleged members of the gang were captured by Kentucky police and returned to Indianapolis. | Two of the gang, Fred Adams and ! George Schwartz, last w r eek pleaded guilty to the murder charge and j were sentenced to life imprison- i ment. Names Five as Slayers Speaking in low and well modulated tones, Mr. Mattice related the entire story of the slaying and the events which led to the capture oi the alleged gang. There was not a sound in the courtroom as the spectators hung on every word of the story, w'hich resembled a well planned detective jiovel. The audience was taken in Mr. j Matrices word picture to the Peo- j pies Motor Coach Company garage; at Twenty-second apd Yandes streets, in Indianapolis, where the slaying occurred Feb. 7. The opening statement outlined the invasion of the garage by the five men under indictment. They w’ere named as William Mason, the defendant here; Edward 'Foggy* Dean, awaiting trial in Marion county; Harold Thompson Redi Gibberson), in Jail here awaiting! trial, and Fred Adams and George j Swartz, both of whom are now in Michigan City state prison serving life sentences after pleading guilty. Rival Attorneys Clash Mr. Mattice and Floyd Christian, defense lawyer, clashed during the opening statement when the latter objected to wording of the deputy prosecutor's remarks. “The jury will be satisfied regarding the truth of this evidence,” Mr. Mattice asserted, when Mr. Christian objected to use of the word “satisfied.” Mr. Christian, member of the firm of Christian & Waltz, appointed by Circuit Judge Fred Hines to defend Mason, will make the defense's opening statement. He has indicated that the defense will show Mason a victim of gang reprisal, and w r ho, during torture and abuse, suffered injuries which later caused amputation of his left leg below the knee. While the attorneys are outlining tneir cases to the jury, heavily j armed guards will patrol the courtroom and corridors to prevent possible release of the prisoner. Delivery Attempt Rumored Finding of an unexpioded dynamite cap on the courthouse lawn reawakened that an attempt ! would be .uouC to deliver Mason and Harold Thompson,' another alleged gang member. Sheriff Frank Hattery also reported he had learned from an unrevealed source that a delivery would be attempted. Armed guards also patrol the corridors in the jail near the cells j where Mason and Thompson are confined at night, and will remain on duty for the duration of the trial. Sheriff Hattery said. First witnesses of the state today are expected to be Michael McAllen, a member of Sergeant Jones' squad; Wayne Fritts. night foreman at the | coach company garage, and Dr. John Salb. Marion ocunty coroner. Murder in perpetration of a robbery, the crime with which Mason is charged, carries a mandatory death penalty on conviction. Each j juror was required by the state to | avow willingness to favor the death penalty if guilt is proved ''beyond reasonable doubt." * • 4 Times Index Page BLACK HAWK 17 Bridge 5 J Broun 12 Classified 15-16 Comics 17 Crossword Puzzle 18 Curious World 17 Editorial 12 Financial 13 Fishing 5 Hobby 8 Industrial 10 Lodges 6 , Lippmann 13 Radio 7 Sports 14 State News 7 Theaters 15 j Woman’s Page 8 |

Four Horsemen of Notre Dame Ride Again —On Paper Only

BY DICK MILLER Times Staff Writer NOTRE DAME'S second set of prospective “Four Horsemen" couldn't hold the saddle. And that's one of the reasons why the team at the school, famous for its consistently great football teams, went into a tailspin this fall and changed suddenly from a potential national championship eleven to just an ordinary team with a record to date of two games won. five lost and one tie in eight starts. Have you ever heard the story of an ambitious young horseman taking plenty of spills learning to ride? That is just what happened to the quartet of young stars, who attempted to take the football hurdles of Carnegie Tech. Pittsburgh, Navy, Purdue. Kansas and Southern California on the reputation of the immortal "Four Horsemen.” The gangsters call it. “on the spot ' and that s where Tony Mazziotto. Mike Layden, Andy Piiney

To me the preshent situation dates back to the Southern California game played at South Bend ! two years ago. a a a THE great man of Notre Dame football. Knute Rockne. had been killed in an airplane accident the spring before. Much speculation during the days immediately after the tragedy as to who would carry on in Rocknes place were set at rest when school authorities announced the return of Jesse L.

Formal Warrant Placed Against Husband of Slain Beauty Despite Bitter Objection of Defense Attorney. By United Pres* CHICAGO, Nov. 27.—Earle Wynekoop, handsome young “Lothario,” this afternoon was charged in an ex parte hearing before Judge Jay Schiller with being an accessory in the murder of his wife, Rheta.

The charge W’as placed despite the bitter objection of Defense Attorney Fran Tyrrell. The formal warrant charged that Wynekoop w’as an accessory before the fact of his wife's murder. A habeas corpus hearing before Judge Joseph B. David followed immediately after the warrant was presented to Judge Schiller. Police Captain Thomas Duffy testified in presenting the warrant that Wynekoop purchased a revolver and bullets and instructed his mother, Dr. Alice Lindsay Wynekoop, in their use. Attorney in Rage “In my opinion,” testified Duffy, “Rheta Wynekoop died as a result of a shot fired into her back by Dr. Wynekoop with the gun which Wynekoop purchased.” "There is no murder case here against my client,” Tyrrell raged. “This is just a conspiracy by police to hold him and try to ‘sw’eat’ some information out of him. If this action is legal, I had better go back to law school.” Judge Schiller overruled Tyrrell's protests and said the arguments of defense counsel might be presented when Wynekoop is arraigned Dec. 4. Transcript of the examination of Dr. Wynekoop which preceded her formal “confession" of the death was made public today by Charles Dougherty, assistant state's attorney. Questioning Is Revealed The transcript revealed that the mother was questioned concerning the death of her daughter Mary Louise last April and that she was aware of the fact her son had lost

interest in his marriage and was going out with other women. It also disclosed new details of Dr. Wynekoop's version of the last few minutes preceding the death of her daughter-in-law. The transcript, in part; Q—On the day of the afternoon that Rheta died, when she was on the table, wasn’t it customary for a j physician to have somebody present with you when you are administering an anesthetic to keep track of the pulse? A—Yes. if you are giving a regular anesthetic, but if you are just giving a bit, it is not necessary. “Let Her Hold It” Q—How many fluid grams did you use? A—Oh. not fluid drams at all, just a few drops. It evaporates very readily. Q—How many times did you put it on the gauze? A—l had done it only once. Q —Were you holding it close to her nose? A—No, I let her hold it. It was not close at all to her nose. Q—What pain was she complaining of? A—The pain in the side, low down. Knew He Was “Going About” Questioning turned to the death of her foster daughter. Dr. Wynekoop said the girl herself had expressed a desire to be cremated if she died. Regarding her son's philandering, Dr. Wynekoop said: “I knew that he was going about ! some. I knew that he was more ; than slightly interested in one 1 young woman, but I did not know of any other being of any particular interest to him.” Asked whether he ever discussed his marital relations with her. Dr. Wynekoop said; “Not particularly. He made rather an evasive reference, so that I inferred the interest was waning somewhat on the part of both of them, although it was not manifested in their social conduct in the living room.” Taken before Judge David on a habeas corpus writ, the hearing for Earle was postponed to Dec. 1, the same time Dr. Wynekoop is due to appear. Judge David ordered the young man taken to the county jail and forbade police from moving him without a court order. LINDBERGHS FLY TO CAPE VERDE ISLANDS Flying Pair Makes Leisurely Trip From Africa.

Harper was to return despite the fact he had been out of touch with i the game for fifteen years, j Those were fifteen years when the game practically has been revolu- | tionized. But Harper did not take up the active coaching duties. Instead, he appointed Heartley (Hunk) Anderson. who had been an assistant coach to Rockne, as senior coach and Jack Chevigney. another assistant, as junior coach. Anderson had graduated from Notre Dame, taken up work with a South Bend manufacturer and coached at Notre Dame in the afternoons. He later took up the head coaching job at St. Louis university only to lose out because his i blunt way of speaking his mind couldn't fit into the picture. He returned to help Rockne as a line coach and did a great job of it in i 1930.

ASKS CONGRESS 'GAG' ON PRESS Hoosier Legislator Says Action Will Come at Next Session. By United Press GARY. Ind„ Nov. 27.—The next session of congress “will give birth to some kind of legislation to muzzle the press which needs muzzling," Congressman William T. Schulte (Dem ), representing the First Indiana district, declared in an address before the Sons of Italy here last night. In a spirited defense of President Roosevelt’s policies Schulte said that in addition to dealing with Wall Street, congress also should deal with the “subsidized press” which attacked the Rogevelt recovery and monetary policies.” STRIKE TRUCE PERMITS UNLOADING LIVESTOCK Chicago Yards Will Be Cleared of 75,000 Animals.

TY7HATEVER had been the condition under Rockne, the experimental combination of Anderson and Chevigney never worked. Although Indiana was beaten in the opening tilt of 1931, Northwestern tied the Irish in a scoreless game and it took the phrase, “Carry on for Rock” to rally the cause and win the Drake. Pitt. Carnegie, Pennsylvania and Navy gamse. Many thought the experiment was working, but when the fourth quarter blowup in the Southern California game came about, it opened the breach between Anderson and Chevigney, led to Chevigney's release and his replacement by Marchmont Schwartz, who graduated that year. Anew season came and anew experiment, this time with Anderson as head coach and Schwartz as assistant and things looked fine as the eleven piled up 177 points in

McCulloch, Democratic state chairman. will go to Washington Friday and present a SIO,OOO check to the Democratic national committee, it was learned by The Times today. The money came to the state committee, through the sub-com-mittee, from the so-called “2 Per Cent Club” collections. Arrangements have been made for Senator Frederick Van Nuys to be on hand when the check presentation is made to Frank Walker, national Democratic treasurer. Senator Van Nuys passed through Indianapolis yesterday en route to Washington from the west coast, where he has been a member of the senate committee conducting investigations into receiverships and the courts. Visit Is Heralded He didn't stop here and only one of his political followers was on hand at the station, as he gave the trip no advance notice, it was said. Governor McNutt is scheduled to address the Virginia State Teachers’ Association at Richmond Friday night. His Washington duties, including the check presentation, will be performed en route, according to present plans. It was said that on the Governor's last visit to Washington the post-master-general, James E. Farley, who also is national Democratic chairman and patronage dispenser for the administration, inquired about the forthcoming funds. It also is pointed out that since Governor McNutt speeded up delivery on funds he also may seek to speed up delivery of Indiana patronage. $16,000 Still Due At any rate, it puts the Governor squarely in the national picture and his policy has been to dictate patronage and policy whenever and wherever possible. His command of the organized Democracy in the state is unchallenged with the resignation of R. Earl Peters as state chairman, it is contended by his backers. Indiana’s assessment by the national Democratic organization totaled $30,000. Os this sum, $4,000 was paid during the campaign and the remainder has been a deficit which the Hoosiers have promised to pay. The SIO,OOO Thanksgiving gift will reduce the amount owed to $16,000.

Ringleaders of Shrieking Mob Never Will Be Punished, California Feels After Chief Executive’s Remarks. ATTACKERS LED BY BOY IN TEENS ‘Come On, Gang; Let’s Go Get ’Em,’ Is Spark That Sets Off Drive Against Sheriff and Deputies. By United Press SAN JOSE, Cal., Nov. 27.—Ringleaders of the shrieking mob that lynched Thomas Thurmond and John Holmes, kid-nap-killers of Brooke Hart, last night, never may be punished, it appeared evident this afternoon. Although they refused to be quoted by name, city and county authorities were inclined to agree with Governor James Rolph Jr., who in an interview with the United Press at Sacramento indicated he condoned the hangings. “California will not put up with kidnapings,” he said.

“The lynching of Thurmond and Holmes proves it to the world. It is time drastic action was taken.” Sheriff William Emig of San Jose appealed to the Governor for state militiamen at 10:30 last night, an hour before the snarling, hate-mad-dened mob stormed the county jail and seized the victims. “Troops were not needed,” the Governor said. Emig and fifty officers fought the mob for two hours before the crazed throng broke into the jail. Tear bombs held the attackers off until 11:20 p. m. when they battered down the main door and surged into the jail proper. Thurmond was unconscious and probably dead when the rope was placed around his neck. He had been beaten and kicked senseless. Willing hands jerked his body into the air as the mob cheered. Holmes was naked. His clothing had been torn from him. He screamed for mercy. “You’ve got the wrong man,” he cried. “I’m Joe Pierce.” A moment later his body dangled grotesquely from another elm a few yards from where Thurmond was lynched, in the shadow of a monument to President McKinley. He kicked convulsively and was still. Men, boys and sprinkling of women composed the mob. Many fainted and were trampled. Others screamed hysterically and fled. Others wept. Some laughed crazily. Some faces were flushed with a lust for vengeance. Others were deathly white. Body Found Saturday The pentup emotion of an enraged city had burst its bounds. Legal justice had been too slow. It was enough for the mob that Thurmond and Holmes had confessed. They decided on quick justice. The city had seethed since Nov. 16 when Thurmond was arrested. He was calling the palatial Hart home here demanding $40,000 ransom w’hen he was captured. He confessed that Hart was dead and implicated Holmes. They had thrown the boy’s wire-trussed body off San Mateo bridge into San Francisco bay. Search for the body was begun. Tw’o duck hunters found it Saturday. That w’as the spark that ignited the mob. Sheriff Pleads for Aid The crowd began assembling immediately. All day long it milled around the old weather-beaten jail. It steadily increased. Sheriff William Emig called m fifty officers. Streets to the jail were barricaded. Its big steel doors were reinforced. Tear gas bombs and rifles were issued. Thurmond was locked in a remote cell on the third floor. Holmes was placed on the second floor. By 9:30 p. m„ 4,000 shouting citizens milled around the jail. Sheriff Emig was desperate. He called Oakland and £an Francisco police for reinforcements. But they were too late. A boy, not more than 16, climbed to the top of a shed and shouted in a shrill voice, “Come on fellows. Let's go get ’em.” This was the leader the mob had been aw’aiting. The surge of men and boys and a few women carried to the barriers

snapped out of it and set down Northwestern, Navy and Army decisively and then lost a 13 to 0 game to Southern California, a contest which had some questionable features attached to it. The administrative heads of Notre Dame were placed in a peculiar position, we are told, and rather than take the position of answering the demands of the wolves to fire a coach who had lost only two games, they decided to carry on with Anderson. Anderson remained to face the music of 1933 without such stars as Kurth, Kosky, Harris. Jackw’hich, Murphy, Koken. Sheeketski and others who graduated. Came the spring practice, the heralded sophmore “four horsemen," and the summer. Notre Dame already was busy writing its 1933 fall football ticket. Next—Some sets of shoes that couldn't be filled.

I Sheriff Emig's men had erected. ! They were swept aside. Tear bombs j "ere hurled. The mob retreated, I eyes smarting. Bricks, stones and other missiles rained on the jail. Windows were broken and the lights extinguished. A group rushed up with a length of oil well casing. Willing hands seized it and battered the big steel doors.

He was felled and kicked, then picked up and knocked down again. Part of his clothing was torn away. Blood flowed from his nose and ears and cuts on his body. He was dragged down to the second floor. There another group had seized Holmes. j He also had been beaten and his | clothes ripped away. Both were dragged down the stairs, their i bruised and torn bodies leaving trails of blood. They were beaten and kicked as they were pulled across the street to the electrically lighted park. Thurmond lost consciousness. He looked as though he were dead. ! Holmes struggled. ‘String ’Em Up,’ Is Cry “You’ve got the wrong man,” he screamed. But the mob was in no mood for compassion. “String 'em up,” they cried. I “Where's the rope? Who has the rope? The lengths of hemp were I produced. A noose was placed over Thurmond's head. The other end ; was tossed over the limb of a ; stately elm. Hands seized it and the : inert form was jerk twenty feet into I the air. The lynching of Holmes was expedited with the same precision, j but from another tree. The maddened crowd loitered. They wanted to be sure their victims were dead and to make sure | that Emig and his men wouldn't attempt rescue. Photographers Attacked Anew cry went up. It was “Let’s burn ’em.” Thurmond's body was cut down, jlt was drenched with gasoline. A match was touched to it. But only his tattered clothing burned. The mob leaped on newspaper photographers, who tried to photograph ! the grewsome spectacle, and broke their cameras. Then Holmes’ body was rut down. The mob was preparing to fire it when a platoon of deputies arrived. They demanded the bodies and exhorted the crowd to disperse. There were hasty conferences and the bodies were relinquished. They were taken to the Williams morgue, where the body of Young Hart also lay. McNutt Hits Lynching Governor Paul V. McNutt said this afternoon that he disapproved strongly of the lynching of two confessed kidnapers and slayers in California last night. “There is only one answer to the lynching question,” the Governor said. “The orderly processes of law should be followed. Anything else means a breakdown of government.’* Sheriff Badly Hurt By United Prr*# SAN JOSE, Cal., Nov. 27 —Sheriff William Emig was dangerously injured last night by the mob that lynched the slayers of Brooke Hart, 22. it was revealed this afternoon.
