CHARLES MAKLEY IS SLAIN, HARRY PIERPONT WOUNDED IN ATTEMPT TO FLEE PRISON “Trigger Man” of Diilinger Mob Is Partly Paralyzed After Shooting by Riot Squad in Ohio Penitentiary. (Continued From Paje On#) with Diilinger when he committed a series of bank robberies in various parts of the country, was one of the most spectacular in the history of the state. With Diilinger at large, national guardsmen were called to Lima to prevent any possible effort at freeing the prisoners. The trial judge received repeated death threats, all believed to have been mailed by “cranks.” Machine pun nc-sts bristled around the little, old-fash-ioned Allen county jail and courthouse. All strangers in grimy, industrial Lima were suspects. A grizzled veteran of two wars commanded youthful farmers in khaki as they stood, bayonets fixed, before the courtroom doors and paced on guard before all entrances to the jail. Unwary reporters who walked through a little used door to the jail one night were almost shot. Louis Piquette, Chicago lawyer for the Diilinger mob, now held by the federal government in Chicago as the alleged “brains ’ of the mob,

visited Lima on a week-end junket and was jailed while intoxicated, merely because he Ijoasted of his acquaintance with the mobsters. The trial itself was dramatic in the extreme. Witness after witness took the stand as the youthful county prosecutor and the youthful Sheriff Donald Sarber. son of the murdered man. directed the states cases the heavily manacled prisoners who were tried separately. Mrs. Lucy Sarber. widow of the murdered sheriff, *as the states ace witness. Garbed in black she testified in all of the three trials of the terrible night of Oct. 12. 1933. when she saw her husband shot and then beaten brutally. „ ‘That's the man who hit Dad. she said, pointing at Pierpont. -They had shot him first ” A deputy who had been in the room at the time of the attack confirmed her story. Nor was the trial made less dra matic by the fact that Diilinger s arrival was expected daily. The lamilics of the judge and prosecutor were placed under guard of special deputies, heavily armed. Finally, the third man was convicted. He was Russell Clark and, | perhaps because he was third, he : escaped with a life sentence. Pierpont and Makley had received the I electric chair from the stony-faced, j merciless Allen county juries. Motions for new trials by the battery of defense lawyers, headed by PLANS MADE TO BUY NEGRO HOUSING SITE Tentative Program Calls for 25 to 50 Homes on Tract. B’l Timm Special WASHINGTON. Sept. 22 —Tentative plans for the purchase of a 100-acre tract and the election of between twenty-five and fifty homes lor Indianapolis Negroes under the lederal subsistence homestead project were approvad today by Charles E Pynchon. acting director of the homestead division.

Miss Jessie Levy. Indianapolis, were j overruled and the trio was started i for Columbus and the grim, grey i walls of the penitentiary. Time after time the three—and. especially. Pierpont— had boasted that they would be freed before they reached Columbus. Asa result, precautions on the trip were, perhaps the greatest ever taken on any similar occasion. Cars of deputies, policemen and national guardsmen rode atyead and behind the car carrying the prisoners. in the car with the prisoners rode young Donald Sarber, a rifle pointed at Pierpont's head. Two deputies had ‘ beads’’ on the other two prisoners. Had the caravan been attacked, the three would have died —instantly. It reached Columbus without incident, however, and the prisoners’ stay at Columbus had comparatively without incident until today, despite escape scares and legal maneuvers to gain new trials. Then, this morning, came the desperate, foolhardy attempt to regain freedom. It brought death to Makley. It brought possible life paralysis to Pierpont. It will mean much trouble for Clark in his life in prison.

JAPAN RALLIES FROMTYPHOON 2,839 Officially Reported Injured in Disaster; 1,280 Killed. By United Prets TOKIO, Sept. 22 —After a day and night of horror, Japan rallied today from the shock of a typhoon that killed at least 1.280 persons and began the tremendous task of rehabilitating its great industrial cities m the Osaka and Kyoto prefercture Relief workers estimated that 250000 persons needed food and clothing. Wind and rain, boating on the rice fields, destroyed 20 per cent of the staple crop. Power plants were crippled and many cities were without electricity. Thousands of persons were thrown out of work by damage to world-famous manufacturing plants. In hospitals were hundreds of injured. many of them school children, principal suffers in the disaster. The list of injured reported officially numbered 2,839 persons. The tidal waves which followed the winds in from the Pacific across central and southern Japan, washed ashore hundreds of small fishing boats and fifteen large coastal steamers. The storm had its heroes as well as its victims. In Osaka, Masuji Ashida. a school teacher, was honored. Seeing the exit of his classroom collapsing. Ashida formed an arch of his own body and supported the falling walls until the children had escaped. His crushed body was dug from the wrecakge today.

Modernize Your Home BY ROGER B. WHITMAN

One day last winter, with the temperature at zero and the wind howling, a neighbor asked me what to do about a room on the exposed side of his house that was too cold to use. I said that one trouble was the leaking in of outdoor air around the window sash. He thought the sashes were too tightly fitted for that, and felt that he proved it by showing me there was no looseness. But I took a yard-long piece of thread and pinned It by one end so that it hung in the angle between one side of a sash and the frame. If he had been right the thread would have hung motionless. But it did not. It was in a continual flutter. • With cold air leaking in around all the windows of the room—three of them—it was no wonder that the room was cold, that the radiator could not deliver enough heat to warm the outside air as fast as it was coming in. One part of the remedy is in weather stripping and the rest in a storm sash. Any of the weather strips on the market will make window joints tight, when new and if carefully put on. Applying these is a Job for a professional. because of the special j tools that are needed and the various forms of stripping that must i be used for different parts of windows and doors. Good metal weather strips should make a saving of from 15 to 20 per cent in the fuel bill. With storm sash added, the saving should run up to 30 per cent An a£o is likely to leak into a I y . \

NEW TRIAL IS ASKEDBY COHN Banker Convicted Here on Embezzlement Charge in Court Again. Arguing that Melville S. Cohn, Meyer-Kiser bank vice-president/ was convicted of acts approved by the state banking department, attorney' for the convicted banker today sought in criminal court to obtain anew trial. Before Special Judge Alexander G. Cavlns the oral arguments of the defense sought to show that all banks of the state carried on investment business with the approval of the state banking department, despite bank acts declaring this was announced by the prosecution, type of business illegal. Frank C. Dailey, defense attorney. also objected to instructions given by Judge Cavins to the jury. Mr. Cohn was convicted in criminal court on embezzlement charges. Arguments of the defense ended at noon and the hearing was continued until 10 a. m. next Saturday. The next trial of bank officials in the Meyer-Kiser case will be that of Julian Kiser, vice-president, it

BED GIBERSON MAY TESTIFY Alleged Gang Member May Be Called as Witness in Murder Case. Ernest (Red) Giberson, alleged member of the bandit gang accused of murdering Police Sergeant Lester Jones during a garage robbery, may be a state’s witness Monday in the first degree murder trial of Edward (Foggy) Dean. With the first degree murder trial recess over the week-end, Floyd Mattice, chief deputy prosecutor, declined to comment on the possibility that Giberson will be brought from Marion county jail, where he is held awaiting trial, to testify. Delay in arraigning Giberson, court attaches said, indicated the state is holding him as a witness to connect Dean with the murder in the People’s Motor Coach Company garage in February, 1933. Giberson was connected with Dean in testimony drawn from a reluctant witness yesterday. According to Miss Alberta J. Akers, Negro maid at the Dean home near Trader’s Point, Giberson and four other men were at the Dean home two or three days before the murder. According to the witness. Dean also was there. The testimony of the 18-year-old maid was the most damaging evidence produced during the day. None of the eight witnesses called L yesterday by the state definitely connected Dean with the murder. Martin H. Wills. Negro, 1616 Columbia avenue, tire repairman at the motor coach company garage, who saw the bandit gang enter the garage and witnessed the submachine gun murder of Sergeant Jones from the door of his tire room, said he could not identify the bandit who stood with a machine gun across his hips and fired a burst of bullets as Sergeant Jones stepped in the garage doors. Dean stared at the witness as Mr. Mattice asked: “Do you see in the court room the man you saw with the submachine gun?” The dapper defendant relaxed in his chair as the witness said he did not. The trial will be resumed at 9:30 Monday morning.

I When Slagle was inside the cell, j Pierpont struck him on the head i with his fist. Slagle attempted to | back away and Pierpont demanded | the key to the cells. “I’m not going to give them to you,” Slagle told him. Pierpont then struck him again and pushed an imitation gun fashioned out of soap into his ribs. He took the keys to the cells from Slagle and ran first to the cell of Russell Clark and freed him. Clark was convicted of first-degree murjder for the same crime which Mak- [ ley and Pierpont were sentenced to die, but the jury recommended mercy and he is serving a life sentence. He was placed in death row for safe keeping. Meanwhile, Makley in his cell was threatening guard Pharr with another soap gun, pointing it through the bars of his cell. Pierpont next opened Makley’s cell and then unlocked the other cells in death row, freeing all but one condemned prisoner. The convicts then used the two guards as a shield and pushed them toward the entrance to L block. Near the entrance there was a wooden table. They broke up this table and used it in an attempt to break down the door and the screening that led to the outer corridor. In the meantime, Guard Jones had turned in an emergency alarm which called an emergency squad of eight men. armed with shotguns and submachine guns, to the block. These men came from the guard room, which is just inside the front entrance to the penitentiary. The emergency squad fired into the group. Makley was shot in the right lung and Pierpont was shot in the spine. It is a wonder that Guard Pharr was not shot because he was in the middle of the group. Guard Whetstome, a member of the emergency squad, was shot after he had entered the cell block with the other members of the squad. A bullet richocheted off the walls and struck him in the hand.

SABOTAGE IN MILL STRIKE HEREJDHARGEO Plant Officials Quiz Man Found in F’lant With Sacks Os Emery. With a mass meeting of United Textile Workers of America strikers and of delegates from all labor unions in the city scheduled for this afternoon, the U. T. W. A. strike against the Indianapolis Bleaching Company was marked today by charges by company officials of attempted sabotage. Charles A. Young, plant manager, said that his guards had captured a man in the mill with two sacks of emery', which, he said, would have ruined the plant turbines if dumped into them. The man has not been arrested, but an investigation is being pushed, Mr. Young told The Times. The manager quoted the intruder, an employe of the mill, as saying he had received the emery and instructions to dump it in the turbines from a man on the picket line and had taken the emery in the belief that he might thus prevent such dumping by others. Charles P. Drake, business agent of U. T. w. A., local No. 2069, said the story was preposterous and pointed out that he had warned the strikers repeatedly against violent tactics. By United Pres* WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—Peace by Monday on the textile strike front appeared certain today if mill owners agree to the settlement of President Roosevelt's inquiry board. The executive committee of the United Textile Workers, which has directed the New Deal’s most serious industrial conflict, were expected to vote today to end the strike. The one condition probably will be acceptance of the peace plan by the industry. How much of an obstacle that conditipn will prove should be revealed today. A last-minute flurry caused some worry. Statement by President George A. Sloan of the Cotton Textile Institute on the peace plan drew angry protest from Francis J. Gorman, strike leader.

Calvert was wounded mortally while sitting at a counter drinking beer. The bullet, believed to be a .22-caliber, was fired into the case from the street. It struck Calvert in the neck.

Hoffa, according to police, is said to have admitted having a quarrel with several men shortly before the fatal shot was fired. It is said a patron of the case made a slighting remark about the wife of his brother, Dorsa Hoffa, 25, of 1254 Oliver avenue, and that a brawl ensued.

Indiana in Brief

By Time * Special C'OLUMBUS, Sept. 22.—Arrests on intoxication charges in Columbus i during the past summer were more than 100 per cent greater than during the same period of 1933, according to figures taken from police records. The city does not have a beer sales regulatory ordinance, and the city council showed little interest in enacting such a measure when the subject was broached recently by Mayor H. Karl Volland. Beer dispensing places are open until 3 and 4 o’clock in the morning. At least 50 per cent of the intoxication arrests are made after 11 at night, according to police. As many as twenty persons appear in city court on drunkenness charges following week ends. A year ago six was considered unusually large.

Kyle, Gary, on state ballots as Republican candidate for Lieutenant-Governor.

LIQUOR STATUTE HEARING SET 3 Out-of-State Breweries Ask Injunction Against State Officials. Two cases of major importance and possibly a third will be heard in Indianapolis district federal court Monday before three judges. Most prominent in the public eye will be the attempt of three large out-of-state breweries to obtain an injunction restraining state officials from enforcing the state liquor laws. The breweries charge that the state laws are unconstitutional In that they interfere with Interstate commerce. They also charge that they are discriminatory and tend to set up a monopoly.

$727,217 GOAL SET FOR 1934 CHARITY DRIVE Amount Is Minimum Needed for Community Fund, Says Chairman. The fifteenth annual Indianapolis Community Fund campaign will open Oct. 26, with a goal of $727,217, Arthur V. Brown, general drive chairman, announced today. “The amount stipulated is the absolute minimum necessary for the needs of the community during the coming year,” Mr. Brown said. The figure was set by the fund board following the findings of the budget committee and the campaign executive commute, he declared. This year's goal is approximately $22,000 more than was raised by the fund a year ago. “Certain agencies among the thir-ty-six member organizations of the fund have been drastically skeletonized and reduced in budgets and activities during the last three years,” Mr. Brown said. “It is increasingly imperative that these necessary services be brought toward a normal level,” he declared. Opinion that the general public will respond whole-heartedly to the ‘‘mobilization for human needs” was expressed by members of the campaign committee. Attention was called to the fact that for fourteen years the Community Fund has been the “heart of the city” through which thousands of public spirited citizens have expressed their desire to help, in a systematic and sympathetic way, those who are in need. “Because of the proper understanding and generosity of the farsighted citizens of this city, the fund has been able to stand as a bulwark of defense against destructive social forces,” Mr. Brown said.
