LEVY SLASHES REST ON FALL TAX PAYMENTS Taxpayers. Chamber of Commerce Expect Full Collections. (Continued From Page One) roads and use of only gasoline tax and auto license fees for road construction and repair. Mr. Mies.se petitioned the board today for a 7-cent reduction in *Jie Washington Township rate. No one appeared on behalf of a reduction in the Warren Township rate. There was an amusing political exchange between Mr. Mie.sse and Dow Vorhies, county commissioner, over the road maintenance rate. Joseph Schmid, representing the Indianapolis Real Estate Board, asked if the rate was as high under a Republican administration. Someone replied that it was higher then. “W’e Haven’t That Privilege" “That was because Cap Coffin had all the Republican precinct committeemen on the pay roll,” Mr Miesse said. “That's a privilege we don't enjoy,” said Mr. Vorhies. “Because you haven't got the rate,” suggested Mr. Miesse. A petition assailing teacher salary increases of approximately $430,000 in tire school budget was presented to the board with the charge that payment of the salaries would mean an 8-cent increase in the rate next year. Others Suggest Reductions In addition to the requests of Mr. Miesse. reductions were suggested by Mr. Schmid and Virgil Sheppard, head of the Chamber of Commerce research bureau. Joining Mr. Miesse is terming the anticipated tax collections too low, Mr. Sheppard also proposed a reduc- j lion in the county old-age pension! appropriation on the theory that; Federal money under the Social Security program would make the $325,000 appropriation unnecessary, j The board also heard Leonard A. Hohlt, Perry Township trustee, and I a group of Perry Township residents. Final action was postponed until to- j morrow The board indicated it : would make reductions in the tui- ; tion and special school fund rates. | Object to Working Balance Levy Mr. Hohlt is seeking to pay teacher and other school salaries from Aug. 1, this year, through next, year and for six months thereafter. K. G. Baker, Perry Township Tax- 1 payers’ Association spokesman, said Perry residents do not object to paying what they termed an ‘inheritance” from his predecessor, but do object to a levy that would provide j a working balance after the coming i year. Reinstatement in the budget of a $35,000 item for a West Side park was sought by Park Board representatives. The item was knocked out of the budget by City Council when Mayor Kern sought $150,000 for | track elevation. It was suggested by council reso- ! hit ion that a bond issue be substituted for the appropriation, but the ; Park Board felt a pay-as-you-go! plan is more economical and took 1 no notice of the proposal.

FORMER JUDGE DENIES MAKING DILLINGER DEAL Another Court Sentenced Desperado's Aid, He Declares. Times Special MARTINSVILLE. Ind.. Oct. 29. In protest against Gov. McNutt's criticism of the original sentence handed John Dillinger. J. W. Williams, former Morgan Circuit judge, today made public two letters to the Governor. Mr. Williams, who sentenced Dillinger. denied that he or Fred Steiger. former Morgan County prosecutor. promised the Hoosier desperado a light sentence and then broke the pledge. Speaking in Atlanta. Ga, yesterday, Gov. McNutt charged that Dillinger became a criminal after he was sentenced to a 10-to-20-year term, which his alleged accomplice, Edward Singleton, received only 2 to 14 years. Dillinger Pleaded Guilty Mr. Williams pointed out in his correspondence that while he sentenced Dillinger, who pleaded guilty, that a special judge sentenced the accomplice. First exception was taken by Mr. Williams after the Governor voiced the criticism in a speech at Kokomo March 21, 1934. Mr. Williams quoted the Governor as saying "Dillinger was tried before a Republican judge in Morgan County. The judge and prosecutor took him out and told him if he would tell ceitain things they would let him off with a lighter sentence.” “ ‘They didn’t keep their word.’ ” Mr. Williams quoted the Governor as saying, “’but gave him a 10-to--21-year sentence, while they gave his partner, a man with a criminal record. 2 to 14 years and released him at the end of two years.’ ” Denies Governor’s Charge “ 'This made a criminal out of Dillinger’,” Mr. Williams said in further quoting the Governor. In a letter to the Governor, sent soon after the speech, Mr. Williams said he denied the Governor's charge that a bargain had been made with Dillinger, but that he wa,s sentenced on a plea of guilty upon suggestion of Dillinger’s father, and was not given a trial as stated by the Governor. Williams also denied that Dillinger and Singleton were sentenced in the same court, the latter having taken his case to Franklin on a change of venue and was sentenced by special Judge Fremont Miller. Governor's Reply. In the Governor’s reply to Williams’ letter, the latter quoted Gov. McNutt as saying: “I did not mention you by name in any instance in my speech at Kokomo; I stated the same judge who sentenced Dillinger, had recommended his parole; I said the same court which sentenced Dillinger to 10 to 25 years sentenced Singleton, to a term of 2 to 14 years, and that Dillinger had been told that if he would plead guility and confess the crime, he would be given a light sentence.” “ ‘lf you feel there has been some confusion resulting from the word “court” ... I will be glad to place a copy of this letter in the hands of the press,’ ” Mr. Williams declared the letter said. Wanted Direct Answer Judge Williams said in replying to the Governor's letter, that he was “not interested in prolonging the inquiry, but to obtain a direct answer to my first letter.” Mr. Williams charged Gov. McNutt had not sufficiently answered queries regarding quotations in the Kokomo speech. He said the second letter never was answered. RECEIVER SUIT ON FILE Hanrahan's Penhoff Grill Owes 5782.

CRAZED KILLER LEAVES RECORD EXPLAINING ACT Slayer of Chicago Judge Had Planned to Take Five Other Lives. CHICAGO. Oct. 29. A crazed ex-convict who murdered a former judge, shot two other attorneys and then killed himself, left behind a fantastic manuscript in which ha described the slaying of “His honor, the Mayor.” William L. Hawthorne. 42. one of ; the attorneys shot by the mad gun--1 man after he had killed former Judge William R. Fetzer. was near death in a hospital today. The other victim, Nathan Waintroob, 29. although wounded seriously, 13 expected to recover. The slayer. Raymond Lamming, 36, was sentenced by Judge Fetzer to a year in jail in 1929 for assault i with a knife. He had been jailed j several times since. Intended to Fire Stockyards The 85-page manuscript, appar--1 ently autobiographical, which Lamming brought to the former judge's | office, where the shooting took piace yesterday, indicated t&e former convict planned to take five other lives and set fire to the Chicago stock- | yards before his death. The red-haired killer referred to himself as “rusty.” in the manuscript. Judge Fetzer was “Judge Metzer” and a character named j "Rev. Barrow” was believed to be ! the Rev. Phillip L. Yarrow, vice ' crusader. I Two other imaginary victims of the writer's revenge were a police | officer and a stock broker. In the manuscript. Lamming 1 blamed Judge Fetzer for "ruining'* ; his life by sending him to jail. Mayor “Assassinated” I “His honor, the Mayor.” repre- | senting the forces of society that had deprived him of his standing in the community, was “assassinated" as he rode by in an open car | at a parade. 1 The destruction of the stockyards by fire was fancifully imagined as I general revenge upon the city. The I vice crusader was to die for “persecuting ’ friends of “Rusty.” Moron Lashes Girls ! Bp United Press CHICAGO. Oct. 29—A moronic 1 gunman invaded a North Side apartment hotel last night, whipped two young women with a leather i belt, attacked one of them, and left them bound with wire.

The slender young man appeared i in the second floor corridor of the Belmont-Plaza as Miss Mary Smith, j 23, walked toward the room of a | friend. Miss Anna Wilhelm, 23, MilJwaukee. He drew a pistol as Miss I Smith entered the room and fol--1 lowed her in. | Both girls were forced to disrobe, j The degenerate first tied them to- ! gether, drew a belt from his pocket 1 and lashed them.
