ACCUSE BARKER CF PUTTING HIS KIN ‘ON SPOT’ Desperado Betrayed Slain Mother and Brother, Is Belief. Bp Unit'd Press CHICAGO, Jan. 18. Arthur (Doc> Barker, the big and tough leader of the Southwest’s most notorious gang, was today without denial by his captors of betraying his mother and brother to death in an effort to win clemency for himself. The outlaw chieftain had no opportunity to comment on the report himself. Despite official announcement in Washington that he has been held here by Federal agents since Jan. 8, the Chicago agents refused to admit they have him Presumably he is held incommunicado in one of the secret cells of the Department of Justice headquarters in the Loop Bankers building. Belief that Barker was guilty indirectly of the deaths of his mother and brother arose from the fact that his arrest preceded the slaying of the two in Oklawaha, Fla., by just eight days. Hit 60-year-old mother, machine gun-toting Kate <Ma) Barker, and his brother, Fred, died in a sixhour gun battle Wednesday in which Chicago Federal agents took part. Faces Kidnap Charges Asked whether information given by Arthur Barker led to discovery and entrapment of his mother and brother, D. M. Ladd, agent temporarily in charge of the Chicago Bureau of Investigation, said: "I can’t comment on that. I have no instructions to release any information on the matter.” Prisoners in the Dankers Building cells have been known before to betray friends ann associates into the hands of their inquisitors. District United States Attorney George F. Sullivan of St. Paul said today he will ask' that Barker be tried in April for the kidnaping of Edward G. Bremer. St. Paul financier who paid $200,000 for his freedom after being seized by gangsters in the Minnesota city one year ago yesterday. Three other men, all free under bond, will be tried at the same time. They are John J. (Boss) McLaughlin. Chicago politician; William Vidler and Philip Delaney. Karpis Still at Large A Federal indictment charged that the three conspired to dispose of the ransom money. Government investigators said lome of the ransom bills were found in possession of each of the men. Barker, according to Atty. Gen. Homer S. Cummings, was capiurpd on the same night that Russell Gibson, another member of the Bar-ker-Karpis gang of Oklahoma, was killed while attempting to escape a cordon of Federal agents. Two women—possibly more—were taken at the same time. Reports said that either papers found in the gang’s flat, or information given by the captives, sent

The Theatrical World 'Lives of Bengal Lancer’ Is Stirring Photoplay BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

PRODUCTION heads in Hoilywood are keeping their eyes on the business that “The Lives of a Bengal Lancer" will do over the country. Right now they are concerned with the way Indianapolis will receive this big, expensive movie which opened today at the Indiana. Some years ago "Beau Geste” started a cycle of romantic pictures and if I am not mistaken "Bengal Lancer” will be imitated for the next 11 months. It required four years of research and actual work to make this spectacle showing the exploits and the adventures of England’s colonial soldiers in India. The leads are played by men who have fine reputations on both the stage and the screen. The chief male players are Gary Cooper, Franchot Tone, Richard Cromwell and Sir Guy Standing. Frances Yeats-Brown, the author, was himself an officer of the Lancers, while Achmed Abulullah, film adapter, and four British army officers served as technical advisers during the production of the film. The story of "The Lives of a Bengal Lancer” is that of the extraordinary bravery, discipline and skill that has enabled a mere handful of English officers to hold sway over the teaming millions of India. Cooper is a captain of the 41st Bengal Lancers, commanded bv Sir Guy Standing, when Sir Guy’s son, played by Richard Cromwell, arrives as a raw recruit. Cooper and Tone, also an officer of the regiment, take over the training of the young lad, but, on a visit to an adjoining province, Cromwell Decomes involved with a beautiful girl and is kidnaped by Mohammed Khan, a hostile leader. Khan hopes that Sir Guy will follow and thus fall into a death trap with nis Lancers. What actually happens results in one of the most stirring fight scenes ever filmed. a a a Music Broadcast Tonight The Indianapolis Symphony orchestra will be heard tonight at 10:15 in a 11-minute broadcast over WFBM.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SOVIET LEADERS IMPRISONED FOR KIRDVJLAYING Kamenev and Zinoviev, at First Reported Exiled, Get Long Terms. By Unit'd Press MOSCOW, Jan. 18.—Josef Stalin ruled unchallenged throughout the 8,000,000 square miles of 3oviet Russia today after the addition cf 98 more.names to the long list cf those who have paid with liberty or life for the assassination of Sergei Kirov. Nineteen men were sentenced to prison terms last night and 12 men and seven women to exile for participation in the Moscow and Leningrad opposition groups whose activities, it is held, made possible the conditions under which Kirov, Stalins old friend and co-leader, w*as killed. Two veteran Bolsheviks, once of world renown, were among the 19 sentenced to prison after trial before the military collegium of the Supreme Court —Gregory Zinoviev and Leo Kamenev. Zinoviev was sentenced to 10 years and Kamenev to five. They* they escaped with their lives was probably due to the fact that they were pioneers in the Bolshevik cause; that they endured outlawry, imprisonment and exile in the fight against Czarism and were leaders in the coup by which the Bolshevik faction seized power from the Kerensky government. They were tried at Leningrad, where Kirov was killed, and found guilty of organizing counter-revo-lution to overthrow the government. The court found that they did not inspire Kirov’s murder, but knew of the terroristic inclinations of the Leningrad opposition group and encouraged them. It was announced erroneously, at first, that Zinoviev and Kamenev had been exiled. Those sentenced last night brought to 215 the number of persons who have been punished for opposition activities since Kirov’s assassination. One hundred and seventeen, including two women, have been shot.

HUNGARY DENIES RESPONSIBILITY IN KINjrSDEATH Bitter Dispute Over Slaying of Yugoslavian Ruler May Flare Again. By United Press GENEVA, Jan. 18 —Revival of the bitter dispute between Yugoslavia and Hungary, which recently caused a European crisis, was threatened today when Hungary disclaimed all responsibility for the assassination of King Alexander at Marseilles. In a memorandum to the League of Nations. Hungary declared exhaustive investigation proved it was in no wise made morally responsible for the assassination—because it sheltered Croatian terrorists. The memorandum, the result of Yugoslavia's demand that Hungary be held morally responsible for the assassination, was not expected to satisfy Yugoslavia. It was admitted that certain minor police officers “did not control Croat emigrants with the desired diligence” and that as a result a captain of gendarmes was dismissed and three policemen were sentenced to 30 days’ imprisonment. Hungary, the memorandum said, had decided in future to exert stricter control over foreigners and over passports. PICKPOCKETJ3ETS slls Victim Had Just Drawn Money From Bank, Police Told.
