SLAIN EDITOR'S WIDOW TO FACE KILLER SUSPECT Police Are Unconvinced by Mrs. Liggett’s Early Identification. By t nit est l'r> MINNEAPOLIS. Dpc. 11.—Mrs. Edith Liggett, frail, dark-haired woman, today was to confront a man she named as one of the assassins of her husband, with whom she campaigned against "vice and corruption.” Police were not convinced of Mrs. Liggett's preliminary identification and held the suspect, Isadore Blumenfeld, alias Kid Cann, without charge. Cann claims he has a do7.cn witnesses who saw him in a downtown barber shop at the time Walter Liggett, publisher of the Midwest American, was shot down as he stepped from his automobile at the rear of his apartment. Liggett’s wife and small daughter witnessed the shooting. Liggett’s enemies, and he had many, often hinted the editor used h’ newspaper to attack those who fi ed to contribute money to his \ rious ‘‘causes.’’ If Mrs. Liggett identifies Cann, he will be taken immediately before the Hennepin County Grand Jury County Attorn' y E. J. GofT announced. Mrs. Liggett, associate editor of the Midwest American, said she would continue the weekly newspaper and its vigorous warfare against corruption in government. She said she would welcome a Federal investigation of the slaying, but denounced an inquiry proposed by United States Senator Thomas D. Schall. "He is trying to build capital from the murder of my husband,” Mrs. Liggett said. “If hie wanted to hplp why did he wait until now?” Mrs. Liggett revealed she had pleaded with her husband for months to leave Minneapolis to escape threatened violence. "But he wouldn’t,” she sobbed. "He was determined to clean corruption from Minnesota politics.’’ Gov. Floyd B. Olson, against whom Liggett’s political attacks centered, pledged full co-operation of the state criminal apprehension bureau in apprehending the “merciless and wanton killers.” Liggett had demanded impeachment of the Governor.

300 OIL FIRMS LOSE FIGHT ON INSPECTION ACT Judge Wilson Holds 1919 Law Constitutional: Appeal Undecided Three hundred oil companies in the state had made no decision today as to whether they will appeal the ruling yesterday of Superior Judge Herbert E. Wilson that the 1919 Indiana Oil Inspection Act is constitutional. The ruling was on a suit brought by the Stith Peteroleum Cos. on behalf of other companies to enjoin enforcement of the law on the contention that the act was a revenue raising measure instead of an inspection law. The act, providing that all petroleum products offered for sale or sold within the state must first be inspected and a fee paid,' was attacked on grounds that “it was unlawful delegation of legislative power” and "a revenue producing measure.” Approves Administration Judge Wilson held that the act is administered clearly within the intent of the Legislature in setting up inspection procedure even though the act does not define the nature of such inspection or the tests to be made. He also held that the statute is one enacted primarily for the purpose of inspection and. granting that the inspection fee is a tax, it is not a tax upon property, but an excise tax upon the sale of commodities. "The only constitutional issue is whether or not the classification of the commodities is a valid one, and clearly it is,” Judge Wilson declared.
