MELVILLE COHN SENTENCED TO 2 TOl4 YEARS Former Meyer-Kiser Official Also Disenfranchised and Fined SI,OOO. DEFENSE FILES APPEAL Banker Applies for Bail Pending Action by Supreme Court. Melville S. Cohn, former vicepresident and director of the defunct Meyer-Kiser bank, today was sentenced to serve two to fourteen years in Indiana state prison, was fined/SI,OOO and was disenfranchised for two years by Special Judge Alexander G. Cavins. Cohn was convicted by a jury 7 July 28 of embezzlement in connection with the operations of his bank. Immediately after Cohn was sentenced, his attorneys announced that they would appeal to the supreme court and would ask that he be freed on bond pending a hearing on that appeal. Cohn, guarded by Ralph Hitch, chief deputy sheriff, was taken to the supreme court chambers in the state house and the court set hearing on his application for bail for this afternoon. The prisoner then was returned to the county courthouse, where he remained in the custody of Deputy Sheriff Louis K. Murchie. It was understood that the prosecution would oppose Cohn’s admission to bail. Cohn stood with his hands clenched tightly behind his back and his lips drawn into a thin line when the sentence was read. Three other former officers of the bank, indicted by the county grand jury on the same charge are yet to be tried. They are Julian J. Kiser, Sol Meyer and Ferdinand Meyer. The bank closed its doors May 11, 1931. Some time later. Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox named Alvah J. Rucker as special investigator into its affairs. Mr. Rucker made his report to Judge Cox and the findings were turned over to Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson for grand jury action. Floyd Mattice, chief deputy prosecutor and now’ state's attorney in the Edward (Foggy) Dean trial, handled the case against Cohn, which was based on payment of a dividend on stock of a realty company fostered by the bank.

‘Who’s Dizzy Now?’ Asks Great Mr. Rowe, After Pitching Rings Around Cards to Win Thriller

BY WESTBROOK PEGLER Times Feature Writer QT. LOUIS. Oct. s.—lt will simplify matters in relating that the Tigers won the second game of the world series from the Cardinals, and how, to drop the pretense that the old-fashioned pitchers' battle is good entertainment. The old-fashioned pitchers’ battle, like the old-fashioned virtues of thrift and sobriety, is a great bore. Those virtues have been officially repudiated by acts of congress. The pitching between Schoolboy Rowe and Bill Hallahan was a dull proceeding, as tiresome as a blameless life, except in those moments when sin got in its dirty work.

Sweetheart Dead When He Slugged Her, Bobbie Tells 'Tragedy* Jurors Expectant Mother of His Child Killed by Shock on Swimming Party, He Claims; Defense Ends After Parents’ Testimony. By I nitrii /’rtf* WILKES BARRE. Pa., Oct. s—The defense of Robert A. Edwards, charged with the murder of his childhood sweetheart to free himself for another romance, sped to an unexpectedly early conclusion this afternoon and the case was expected to be in the hands of a jury late tonight.

The young defendant, his father, his mother and a group of character witnesses completed the defense case, with Edwards’ story that Freda McKechnie, expectant mother of his child, died of natural causes while they were swimming in a lake at night, the chief point in his fight to escape the electric chair. Edwards said that—dazed and frightened—he struck the girl with a blackjack after she had died accidentally by striking her head on a rock while swimming, and argued that he took such action after fearing he would be suspected of killing her. Edwards demonstrated to the jury how he held the blackjack with which he struck her. Mother Takes Stand Pale and wan, but nattily dressed, Edwards declared Freda, an expectant mother, was dead when he hit her and he desired to make her death appear accidental. “Didn’t you hit her so hard with the jack that you broke the leather handle?” District Attorney Thomas M. Lewis asked. “I don't remember,” the defendant replied. Mrs. Daniel Edwards today testified on behalf of her son and told the jury that her boy was restless and did not sleep on the night Freda was killed. Holding a handkerchief to her mouth, the 48-year-old mother said that on the fateful night of July 30. Robert brought her a candy bar and was nervous and pale. Daniel Edwards, father of the prisoner, previously testified that he knew his son was worried the day following Freda's disappearance, but that he didn't question him. Letters Are Read Mrs. Edwards was assisted from the court chambers after she testified. She collapsed and was treated by a physician. The brief meeting between Edwards and his mother was the first time they had seen each other since he was arrested. Robert smiled weakly but remained calm. Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Edwards put up a defense for their son while in the witness chair. They both said he came home after 11 p. m., the night of July 30, that he was nervous and restless, and unusually quiet. Only a few hours before, the prosecution read excerpts from the 172 letters he w%>te the “other girl.” Miss Margaret Crain, that were tender mystic and passionate bv turns. He referred to Miss Crain as his "wife,” though they were nuot married. and Freda McKechnie. his childhood sweetheart, had told him she was to become a mother within five months. Admits “Double-Crossing” Edwards admitted he loved Miss Crain where he had not loved Miss McKechnie. Miss Crain, he said, was his "dream girl.” Then Miss McKechnie came to him with her tidings and he promised to marry her Aug. 1. Two daj’s before, they went swimming at a mountain lake. Miss McKechnie, he said, put her leg in the cold water and fell back in the boat, dead from shock. For hours after Freda's death.

Hauptmann Congratulated on Wealth After Ransom Payment , Letters Show

By United Press NEW YORK. Oct. 5 —Relatives in Germany who wrote Bruno R. Hauptmann sympathizing with his poverty before the time the Lindbergh ransom was passed congratualted him on his prosperity after that date, it was learned today from a packet of letters found in the apartment of the kidnap suspect. The letters, in German script, were turned over to District Attorney Samuel Foley of the Bronx, with translations by Dr. Samuel Lubliner. interpreter of the Bronx supreme court. They are regarded as of importance in the circumstantial case against the taciturn carpenter.

The score was 3 to 2 after twelve innings. The game reached one high point as entertainment when Gerald Walker, a pinch-hitter for the Tigers, marred Bill Hallahan’s performance with a single which drove in Pete Fox with the tying run in the ninth. It rose to a grand climax when Bill Walker, who relieved Hallahan after that, succumbed to evil in the twelfth. Bill Walker got one man out, then walked Gehringer and Greenberg, the next two hitters. At this point Goose Goslin, so-called because he ambles through life behind a magnificent beak, broke through with a single which chased Gehringer home from second with the winning run. It was a beautiful event for the statisticians.

Edwards described himself as “being in a daze.” “I didn't want to have to explain to her parents—l had no fear of the police,” he said. Edwards admitted he “doublecrossed” Miss Crain by being intimate with Freda while he wrote her at her East Aurora (N. Y.) home, pledging ‘undying love.” Though Edwards was a calm and cool witness in his own defense, he was so shaken when the prosecution yesterday began readin ghis passionate letters to Miss Crain that he offered to plead non vult provided the prosecution agreed to a sentence of life imprisonment. The prosecution refused and the letters were read while Edwards squirmed. ABUSIVENOTES SENTTOINSULL Magnate Gives Letters to Prosecutor: Not Afraid, He Says. By United Press CHICAGO, Oct. s.—Samuel Insull Sr., on trial with sixteen others on mail fraud charges, this afternoon turned over to the state attorney's office five letters he had received which threatened to “expose” his $2,000,000,000 utility setup. The gray-haired former utility magnate said he was not disturbed by the letters, three of which were unsigned. Although abusive in tone, the letters from disgruntled investors did not threaten Insull's life. The writers said they hoped to be able to arrange a radio broadcast “exposing” the transactions which made Insull and his aids leading financiers of the midwest. All the letter writers said they wanted to testify regarding their losses in Insull securites at the present trial before Judge James H. Wilkerson. BANK SUES STATE IN TRUST TAX PROTEST Fund Earnings Go to I. 17., Is Basis of Suit. The Fletcher Trust Company today filed suit in probate court asking that the state be enjoined from collecting the gross income tax from a trust fund in the estate of Guilford A. Dietch, who died in 1931. of which the trust company is executor. The complaint charges that the yearly income of the $40,000 fund was willed to the Indiana univresity trustees’ board and that, since the university is not a profit-making institution, the state has no authority to collect the tax.

Another letter of significance, translated by Dr. Lubliner, cast a new light on Hauptmann’s contention that the $14,590 in ransom bills found in his garage was left there by Isidor Fisch, the furrier who died in Germany in March. The missive, from the mother and brother of Fisch in Dresden, to Max Halleck of New York, described the furrier's death in poverty, asked for aid in locating any assets and mentioned a list of his creditors. Hauptmann’s name did no: appear. The letters regretting Hautmann's reduced circumstances were dated prior to April 2. the day Dr. John F. Condon handed $50,000 to

INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5; 1934

Schoolboy Rowe, the tall, loosejointed rustic from Eldorado, Ark., pitched seven consecutive innings in which no member of the arrogant crowd from St. Louis was able to reach first base. There was one little stretch in the course of this achievement when he pitched to the entire batting order of the Cardinals without throwing a single “ball.” They were all strikes, fouls or putouts afield. nun IT hardly will be claimed That* the mastery of .the pitchers over the hitters is an exciting spectacle to observe. It is not an event but a state of affairs. The emotions explode when the hitters tag the ball to inaccessible points or the great masters of the game kick it around unexpectedly or otherwise fail in their duties. Such an outburst occurred in the ninth when Bill DeLancey, the Cardinals’ catcher, froze in his tracks at the plate, neglecting to go after Gerald Walker’s high foul which started toward first but was blown back into his zone of defense by a stiff wind. Rip Collins, the first baseman, clattered in after the ball but the wind whipped it beyond his reach and it. dropped dead. The hitter, who might have been out, then knocked off the single which brought in the tying run. There was another delightful accident in the tenth when Frank Frisch, one of the greatest players of his long time in the baseball industry, kicked one from Gehringer’s stick. It was a grounder which a schoolboy might have handled with casual ease. The hitters and the kickers made the entertainment. The pitchers, Rowe and Hallahan, represented frustration. They were out there preventing. 000 ONE must call on the imagination to appreciate the work performed by Schoolboy Rowe. He started nervously, a huge, ungainly kid, who had never seen a world series game until his own club met the Cardinals Wednesday afternoon. At that time, he was too nervous to pitch and was saved for twenty-four hours in the hope that he might cool out. In the first three innings he allowed six hits and two runs. In the fourth inning he found something in himself and retired three hitters in quick succession. He repeated in the fifth. Six put-outs on consecutive hitters gave him nerve and confidence. In the sixth he stopped them in order again and began to realize that he was doing a better job than the great Dizzzy Dean had accomplished on the opening day. He went along gathering strength and world series experience through the tenth inning and put out twenty-two men in succession. This was a world series record of some kind. The boy was a greater man than the great Dizzy now. He was the Great Schoolboy Rowe. You must understand that the great Dizzy is a performer as well as a pitcher. He acts a show on or off the field. Rowe is strictly a pitcher. He makes no unnecessary gestures, social or professional, and Dizzy’s boasting, and his confirmation of his boast, had Schoolboy down somewhat. 000 IT would be a humiliating thing to an Arkansas boy to be licked in his first world series game where another Arkansawyer had won his first one. Now, Schoolboy Rowe can set and whittle or drop in for an hour at the pool hall of a winter’s night back in Arkansas and tell them that Dizzy Dean is just a lot of biggety talk. After his first three nervous innings, Rowe always was a better pitcher than Hallahan, but he had to work harder because his people weren't getting him the runs he needed. They were always fixing to do some good, but always putting it off. One way or another, they had runners on base every inning of the game except the eighth and eleventh. They hit or walked or they were kicked on by errors. Beyond question, the Schoolboy's job of work this day was a gold star for his report card and a great joy to his Paw and Maw and his girl, who came from Arkansas to see him.

the supposed kidnaper in St. Raymond's cemeteryIn one letter, dated just before March 1. the day of the kidnaping, Hauptmann wrote a friend to postpone a business conference because he expected to be out of the city for a few’ days. Mr. Foley, meanwhile, denied reports of friction with New Jersey authorities as “absurd.” He said he would ask for a delay in the extortion trial, scheduled to begin Oct. 11. if New Jersey requested additional time in which to obtain grand jury indictments on more serious charges. But otherwise, he said. New Jersey must ask for Hauptmann before the trial starts if they wknt him.

Your darn tootin’ he’s the big blow of baseball. But not all wind by any means is Dizzzy Dean, live steam hurler of the St. Louis Cardinals, caught here all wrapped up m his music as his mates battled the Detroit Tigers into extra innings in the second world series encounter in Detroit. What clowning Dizzy does to a sousaphone St. Louis fans don’t care, for his whistling curves are the sweetest music they ever heard.

Dean Jury Is Still Out After 26-Hour Deadlock Judge’s Instructions Reread at Talesmen’s Request; Deliberations Renewed After Luncheon. The fate of Edward (Foggy) Dean, accused of the cold-blooded murder of Police Sergeant lister Jones in a garage holdup last year, this afternoon lay with a jury which had been deadlocked for more than

twenty-six hours. At noon the jury filed out of its room and went to lunch. The twelve men returned at about 1 p. m. and resumed the conference upon which hinges Dean’s life. Earlier in the day Special Judge Clyde Jones had reread his instructions to the jury at its request, but it was not learned what specific problem was puzzling the talesmen because no questions were asked. The prisoner, apparently unperturbed as usual, was in the courtroom for a short time as the instructions were heard again. At 7, the twelve men, who for more than nineteen days had listened to evidence intended to connect Dean with the slaying of the policeman during a robbery of Peoples Motor Coach Company garage in February, 1933, shuffled from their jury room to a nearby restaurant for breakfast. It was a few minutes after returning to Marion criminal court that the jury summoned Roy Lowe, bailiff, and requested that Special Judge Clyde Jones be asked to read again his instructions, in which yesterday he explained the two counts of the murder evidence. At 4 yesterday a hush settled over the courtroom as a signal from the jury room sent a bailiff scurrying to the fourth floor of the courthouse. Every one believed a verdict had been reached. Later it was learned some of the jurors wanted cigarets and cigars and several wanted to learn the result of the second game of the world series. Judge Jones remained at the courthouse until midnight, when he left for his home, leaving instructions that a sealed verdict be returned if the jury reached an agreement during the night. No intimation of the jury’s opinion leaked from the closely guarded jury room. If Dean is convicted under the first count of the indictment, the death penalty is mandatory. Conviction under the second count—death of life imprisonment—would lie in the discretion of the trial judge. If Dean is found guilty under the first count, he will be the first defendant to be sentenced to the electric chair in Marion county in more than twenty years, according to court attaches. CARLOADINGS UP AGAIN Figures for Sept. 26 Show Increase OTer Previous Week. By United Press WASHINGTON. Oct. 5. —The American Railway Association announced today that carloadings of revenue freight for the week ended Sept. 26 totaled 644.647 cars, an increase of 1.527 above the preceding week, but 24.539 cars below the corresponding week in 1933.

AAA TAKES HUGE IOWAJHILL LEAD 75 Per Cent Back Program on Basis of Early Returns. By United Press DES MOINES, la., Oct. s.—First tabulations of votes cast by 75,000 lowa farmers in a referendum considered a conclusive test of farm sentiment .on AAA crop control showed 77 per cent of the voters desiring to retain the program in 1935. Although all midwestern states were conducting similar polls, it was to lowa that the administration looked as the main source of information on the desires of farmers. With $73,700,000 in corn-hog benefits promised, and $27,000,000 of that sum already paid, lowa has a large majority of participants in the 1934 reduction program. The principal question was: ‘Do you favor a corn-hog program for 1935?” In votes tabulated in thirty counties the answer was: Yes, 6,949; No. 2,518. Only a few hundred farmers voted, according to chairman R. M. Evans of the state reduction commission, on a second question: “Do you favor a one-contract per farm program on grain and livestock to take effect in 1936?” Mr. Evans interpreted the light vote as disapproval. On the result of the poll hinges the whole question of whether the AAA crop reduction program will be continued next year. Authorities said they expected almost complete tabulations by tomorrow.

The rival clubs arrived this morning on overnight special trains from Detroit, where the series was sent into a tie by Detroit’s twelve-inning victory yesterday.

SPAIN GRIPPED BY REVOLUTION Sanguinary Fighting Marks Left Wing Opposition to New Cabinet. By United Press MADRID, Oct. s.—Total known dead in the revolutionary general strike tonight were more than twenty-five, with many more wounded. The casualty list mounted rapidly as reports came in from the provinces, and it was feared the total dead and injured might exceed 100. Heavy fighting broke out in Santa Isabel street in front of the Santa Isabel hospital. Extremists fired on police and took refuge in the hospital when the fire was returned. Police continued firing. One civilian was killed. Twenty-one storm guards in the Mieres barracks then were surrounded and four of them were killed when they resisted. The remaining seventeen were wounded. In nearby Santullano, civil guards fortified themselves in a private house to repell an attack and several were killed. The trouble spread across the Mediterranean to Africa when workers in Ceuta, Spanish Morocco, declared a general strike effective at midnight. The important cities of Barcelona and Seville were in the grip of the strike. Oddly, syndicalists did not join the strike in Saragossa, which is one of the chief centers of syndicalism. The two chief centers of trouble sa far were the province of Asturias and the town of Eibar in the province of Guizpuzcoa, where heavy fighting was reported in progress between rebels and government forces. One hundred storm guards with machine guns and trench mortars were sent there from Bilbao. Alvaro Albornoz, president of the court of constitutional guarantees, presented his resignation to the Cortes today. The court has the power to declare laws unconstitutional, to decide conflicts between the central governments and regions and to enforce the observance of individual guarantees. Albornoz said he was resigning in view of the situation created by the Republican party, which had broken up Republican institutions since he was elected by the Cortes.

DEMOCRATS ASSESS DEPARTMENT HEADS 3 I*2 to 4 Per Cent Levy to Swell Campaign Fund. In an effort to build up a really substantial campaign fund, the Democratic state committee has levied a3'i to 4 per cent assessment on the salaries of all state department heads. This action, which means that each department head will pay from $l5O to S2OO into the “war chest,” became known at the state house today through the private, but none the less emphatic, “squawks” of the assessed. The dozen men affected are wondering whether this special assessment will be credited against their regular monthly “contributions” to the administration’s Two Per Cent Clilb, but nobody today knew fissure how this would work out. Supreme court and appellate judges, while they are more highly paid than the department heads, are not affected by the assessment, since they have made, according to those in the know, earlier contributions ranging upward from $1,500. Glider Record Claimed By United Press MOSCOW. Oct. 5—A world record for sustained flight of a twoseater glider was claimed today at the all union glider meet at Koktobel.

Today's pitching assignments were Tommy Bridges, No. 2 man of the Tiger staff, and Paul (Daffy) Dean, a sort of road company of his brother, Jerome (Dizzy) Dean. Both Paul and Tom are right-handers. Hundreds of fans gathered about the railroad stations trying to catch glimpses of the Deans, Cochrane, Frisch, Rowe, Medwick and the other series performers who have made sports headlines during the last two days. The inevitable world series scalpers were doing a thriving business, getting double and triple money for single game tickets which originally cost $5.50. Reserved tickets at Sportsman’s park were sold out as early as three days ago, and late arrivals were forced to pay speculators’ prices or else buy outlying pavilion seats or standing room. Bleachers Are Jammed The bleachers were jammmed full four hours before game time and the pavilion was slow'ly filling. Cardinal club officials estimated that ther? would be an official paid attendance of 38,431. The Cardinals remained firm favorites with the home crowd. Betting commissioners held them at 7 to 10 favorites for the series and also 7 to 10 on today's game. The weather was warm and there was almost no wind. “We’re okeh now,” Mickey Cochrane said, leading his troop off the Tigers’ special train. “I’ll admit I was plenty worried about those errors in the first game, but you notice we didn’t make any yesterday. Naturally. I think we’ll win, but the going is to be plenty tough from here out.” “I’m" Glad to Get Back” “I’m glad to be getting back home,” said Frankie Frisch, the St. Louis boss. Frankie completely was recovered from that peeve that overtook him after lasing yesterday’s twelve-inning contest at Detroit, 3 to 2. Frisch, incidentally, was greatly elated over the showing made by Wild Bill Hallanhan in yesterday’s contest. The third, fourth and fifth games are to be played here today, Saturday and Sunday. The sixth and seventh games, if needed, will be held in Detroit on Monday and Tuesday. Cards Still Favored By United Press ST. LOUIS. Oct. s.—ln spite of Detroit evening up the count with St. Louis, the Cardinals remain 7 to 10' favorites to win the series, according to the odds posted today by Tom Kearney, St. Louis betting commissioner. Other Kearney odds; Cards 7 to 10 favorites to win today’s game here; even money on Detroit to win today or take the series. Kearney will wager 8 to 5 the Birds can't take two straight and 5 to 2 the Tigers can’t do it; 4 to 1 against the Cards winning the third, fourth and fifth games and 5 to 1 Detroit won’t. He offers 3 to 2 the bettor can’t specify any two games St. Louis W'ill win or s*to 2in the case of the Tigers. FATHER OF 9 HANGED Slayer’s Son Fails in Last-Minute Appeal to Merriam.
