FATAL HOLDUP DESCRIBED BY DEAN WITNESS

Bus Firm Cashier Fails to Mention Suspect in Jones Slaying. Continued From Pa** One) bus company's garage and seized S2 OQO from a ?afe and money drawers which they biasted open with shotgun slues as he sat in the Office, Mr Fritts testified. Then he said, the lookout shouted. Here they come. Let s go ” The bandits scattered Mr. Fritts testified and he heard a burst of rapid-flrinsr and. then, scattered shots. Clyde Miller, defense attorney, cross-examined the witness in an attempt to prove that Mr. Fritts was too excited at the time of the holdup to have observed details so plainly. Mr Fritts said that Fred Adams, now serving Ule imprisonment after pleading guilty to participation in the fatal holdup, was one of the bandits who accosted him as he sat in the office. Dr John A Salb. deputy coroner, testified as ?he second wtness that Sergeant Jones was killed by bullets from a machine gun. Mrs Lester Jones, widow of the slain officer, who had been sitting calmly beside Floyd J. Mattice, chief deputy prosecutor, bowed her head for a minute as the deputy coroner testified to his first sight of the body. At about this time Elwood Jones, prominent young attorney and son of the murdered man. entered the courtroom and took a seat beside hs mother. Mr. Mattice made his opening statement late yesterday afternoon. The defense waived the right to an opening statement, though it has been indicated that Mr Miller will rely on an alibi to free his client. Luther Standard, Roach street, a Negro employe in the garage at the time of the crime, testified that he and his partner were in the tire shop, a closed off sjiace in the center of the garage, when the bandits entered. He seemed reluctant to identify D*an Did you see the bandits ” Mr. Mattice queried. ' No," was the answer. "What prevented you—the busses in the garage?” "No.” Standard replied stubbornly, "I just wasn't locking that way.” Standard testified that he called police and met Sergeant Jones down by the south door and instructed him to go to the north door. Jones, according to Standard, went to the north door and was forcing open

HOUSING CHIEFS SUMMONED TO PARLEYIN CITY Ex-Governor of Minnesota to Address Group Here Tomorrow. State-wide meeting of county and city chairmen, committee members and bankers of the federal housing administration will be held at 3 tomorrow m the Claypool, Fred Hoke, state housing administration director, announced today. A. O. Eberhart, former Minnesota Governor and FHA field representative, will explain the plans for stimulating modernization and repairs of buildings. The meeting will be open to the public. “The country now is short about 1.750,000 new homes, due to the lag in the building industry, according to reports at a regional meeting of state directors and bank liaison officers of the middle west, from which I just have returned,” Mr. Hoke explained today. • If full cc-operation is given the housing program, estimates show that the work will absorb the unemployed in the building industry, and keep them employed ten or fifteen years.” Individual purchases of household furnishings and equipment will follow the program for repair and modernization, Walter B. Harding, Chamber of Commerce program chairman, believes. "The spread of the money spent in this way through the community will effect every line of business,” Mr. Harding added. STATES MUST HELP, RELIEF CHIEF WARNS Withdrawal of Aid to Be Penalty Hopkins Says. 7y I nitcri Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.—Heavy pressure will be exerted by the government on states that have failed to provide their just share of relief funds, Administrator Harry L. Hopkins said today. “I am convinced,” said Mr. Hopkins, “that many states are not, putting up all the money they should, and we are going to insist they do so. That applies also to cities and counties.” If necessary, it was said, the FERA will cut off relief allotments to the negligent states to force cooperation. Tolerance will be shown, however. Mr. Hopkin® said, toward states unable to raise necessary funds.

PRESIDENTIAL PARDON ASKED FDR DUN HOLT

Kokomo Mayoral Nominee Must Have Release to Hold Office. Headed by a list of distinguished names, a petition for a presidential pardon for Olin D. Holt. Kokomo, former candidate for Governor, will be sent soon to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Mr, Holt, in whose campaign for Governor in 1924 the Ku-Klux Klan was purported to have been active, was sentenced to eighteen months in Atlanta federal penitentiary for conspiracy to violate the prohibition statutes. He was paroled after serving six months. Because of an old Indiana state statute, Mr. Holt never can hold public office in Indiana withouta presidential pardon. He now is Democratic nominee for mayor of Kokomo and must have the pardon to take office, if he is elected this fall. City, county, congressional and state petitions are being circulated in Mr. Holt's behalf. He said the Howard county petition contains the names of all local officials including that of Mayor Henry Quigley, his Republican opponent for mayor. Governor Paul V. McNutt said today he had signed the petition in
