‘Guards ‘Cover Up’ in

Stories of

Cells, Coroner Says|

Deaths in

Eight Questioned at Inquiry Relate Same Version of ‘Roastings,’ Official Claims; Arrests of ‘Tough ° Guards’ and ‘Higher-Ups’ Likely.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 27 (U.P.).—Eight guards were questioned sep=arately today at the District Attorney's office in the “baking to death” of four County Prison convicts this week.

Participating in the long interviews, every question ‘which was taken down by stenographers, were Coroner C

d answer of les H. Hersch,

Assistant District Attorney John A. Boyle, Daniel B. Conlin, senior State

Prison Inspector, and Willlam J.&— :

‘Donovan, senior investigator of the

State Welfare Department. It was learned that the Coroner

"and Assistant District sttorney had

adopted an adamant attitude of “talk or else. . .” Identities of the guards were withheld, but Deputy Coroner Vincent Moranz promised a crowded room of impatient newsmen ‘some sort. of statement” later this afternoon. New Arrests Expected It was understood that questioning of the eight guards would terminate the investigation by the Coroner’s office and likely be climaxed by the arrests of aproximately six “tough” guards and “higher-ups” who allegedly gave the order to turn on the heat in the prison’s “Klondike” cellblock. What appeared as “a definite conspiracy on'the part of guards to cover up what really happened” was charged by Coroner Hersch. This was one of the principal reasons for transfer of the inquiry to City Hall

from the Holmesburg institution. -Coroner Hersch said that stories told investigators were substantially the same and “obviously” had been re-’

hearsed. After a 13-hour investigative session at the prison which continued until past last midnight, the Coroner and Mr. Boyle emerged to tell newsmen that no arrests in addition to

. those of the two guards already held

on homicide charges had been made. Coroner Hersch disclosed earlier that “two officials” figured in the deaths, but would not reveal their names. Coroner Hersch’s visit to the prison resulted in disclosures by Mr. Boyle that the four victims of the “heat treatment” in the prison’s “Klondike” block were subjected to three periods of intense heat during three days. They were the cnly ones of 25 men imprisoned in the Klondike to undergo the full three days of heat and thirst.

SUSPECT ESCAPES

‘POLICE IN CHASE

Stolen Car Driver Wounded By Bullets, Pursuers Say.

Police today chased an unidentified suspect in recent North Side filling station robberies until his stolen car. crashed. He escaped on foot in the 2200 block of N. New Jersey St. but police said he apparently had been wounded by one of the bullets. The suspect was sighted at 23rd St. and Central Ave, and when he saw the police car in pursuit he turned out the lights of his car and drove into an alley. After weaving in and out of alleys, the suspect returned to New Jersey St. at 22d Sf, and Sergt. Roscoe Jordan fired four shots at the car. One of them apparently wounded the suspect, police said, because he slumped over the wheel and his car struck two parked autos. He got out of the car, however, and ‘ran between houses. The police said they found blood in the car. . A paroled convict was sought today as the man who yesterday shot

- and wounded Raymond W. Pier-

pont, painting contractor, who three weeks ago discharged the suspect “for drunkenness.” Re The contractor, - whose condition was reported as fair at Methodist

CLAIMS 2 NAILED HIM TO CROSS

Ex-Convict Says Former Prison Mates Forced Him to Torture.

RENO, Nev. Aug. 27 (U. P).— Edward Collins, 27, an ex-convict, told police today that he-had been crucified by two men. Earl Dabney, a passing motorist, heard screams near Reno last night. He called police. They found a naked man nailed to a cross which had been left flat on the ground. The man was Collins. The nails were pulled out. with pliers and Collins was taken to a hospital where it was believed he would recover. Collins told this story: * He was leaving a Baptist evangelical meeting. He met two men who had served time with him in the San Quentin, Cal, penitentiary. They were known to him only as “Swede” and *“Dago.” They asked him to “pull some jobs” with them. He refused. They were outraged, and one of them said: “All right, if you want to make a ‘Christ’ of yourself, we'll help you.” At pistol point, he was ordered into a large black sedan. They drove to a lumber yard and Collins was ordered to steal two pieces of lumber. He did so and the men drove him to an isolated spot along the Truckee River east of Reno. a The men made a cross. Collins was told to strip. jstols were pointed at him and "he obeyed. Then he was commanded to lie, on the cross and to extend his arms “just like Christ did.” Collins said he screamed and pleaded for mercy, but the men nailed him to the cross, poured kerosene on his clothes, set them on fire, and fled. Soon afterwards, he said, Mr. Dabney came along, heard his screams and called police

SEEKS MORE DAMAGES IN STREET WIDENING

Paul Johnson, proprietor of a drugstore at 801 S. East St., charged in a suit on file in Superior Court today that city officials have refused to allow him sufficient damages for ie proposed widening of S. East

He said the Works Board recently notified him that his damages were fixed at $1500, “but when I went to protest they told me there had been a typographical error and that the amount should have been $150.” He asked the court to fix his damages at $6000.

Hospital, was carrying $169 with which to pay his workers, when his assailant entered his car in the 2100 block of Sherman Drive. “Ray, I'm going to kill you,” the contractor told police his assailant threatened. Mr. Pierpont said he offered him the money but that the man shot him as the car ap-

a deplorable condition and I contend it would be unwise to deprive us of money for materials to match WPA funds for labor,” he said. “We can’t possibly maintain the roads on the $180,000 we expect fo get from the gasoline taxes.” Walter Horn, of the Indiana Taxpayers Association, argued that gasoline tax money is sufficient maintain roads in every county in the State. Councilmen said they will convene

the budgets and levies by Sept. 7. Following the taxpayer’s protests yesterday when score of persons threatened a “sit-down strike on tax paying unless rates were reduced,” Dana Webster, 131 N.

Books Demands Basic Reforms in County

“Fundamental reforms” in county administrative procedure were advocated today by Wililam H. Book, Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce executive vice-president. Marion County has unpaid bills amounting to $87,507, he said, of which more than $61,000 is for debts accumulated in 1934, 1935 and 1936. Of this total, judgments already have been entered against the County totaling $46,472 and suits are on file, not yet acted on, totaling $24,752, he said. Judgments bear six per cent interest until paid, he added. : This situation is traceable directly to the policy of overspending appropriations, Mr. Book charged. “Members of the State Tax Board have indicated a desire to end this overspending policy,” he continued. “An effort to bring about voluntary action to permit installation of an accounting system that would effectively prevent this fault has met with no success. “It is my judgment that the County will continue to overspend until State officials prescribe accounting methods, which I understand, they are authorized to do and require that these methods be followed.” : He urged that control of accounts for all county officers and. departments be lodged with the County auditor. The accounting method then should be the accrual method, charging all appropriations for expenditures as soon as they are au-

yer authority should be given the auditor to prevent any expenditure from being made when there is no balance of appropriations to cover it, he said. a : Striking at the alleged “lax pro-

Wheeler Raps Roosevelt ‘On ‘Subserviency’ Issue; Carolina Votes Tuesday

NATIONAL POLITICS

GEORGE'S renomination predicted by Senator Wheeler. SOUTH CAROLINA foes speak from same platform. SENATOR MURRAY to back Senator Pope as independent.

MISSOULA, Mont., Aug. 27 (U. P.).—Senator Wheeler (D. Mont), leader of the fight against President Roosevelt's Supreme Court reorgan=said today voters were charged with the responsibility of deciding whether Senators may “vote their convictions” or become sub-

reappointment expected.

Speaking before members of the Montana Press Association, Senator Wheeler predicted that Senator George (D. Ga.) would be renominated over the opposition of President Roosevelt. He said he believed that if his seat in the Senate had been at stake in this year’s primaries he would have been on the President’s “purge” list. Apparently referring to Mr, Roosevelt's statements criticizing Idaho Republicans for voting in the Democratic primary, Senator Wheeler said: “There is not much difference between Democrats and Republicans, fundamentally. We forget party lines in Congress all the time, so I can’t see why the President opposes breaking party lines for the primaries. “President Roosevelt was delighted when Senator Johnson of California and other Republicans supported him. I believe the President will see his mistake and change his attitude.”

Support to Pope

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 (U. P.). —Senator Murray (D. Mont), a member of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, offered

10| today to campaign in = Idaho for

Senator Pope if the defeated Democrat decides to run as an independent. Senator Murray offered his help despite the fact that Chairman Prentiss Brown (D. Mich.) has announced that the committee will officially support Senator Pope's successful primary opponent, Rep. D. Worth Clark; unless it is convinced there was something “fundamentally wrong” in the Democratic primary. It has been charged that Republicans voted with Democrats to defeat Senator Pope. : Senator Murray also offered to campaign for Senator Duffy (D. Wis), who will face opposition in November from the Progressives as well as the Republicans.

Smith Confirmation

Fight Looms in Senate

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 (U. P). —A Senate vote on confirmation of Donald Wakefield Smith's reappointment to the NLRB appeared today as the likely major test of President Roosevelt's strength in the new Congress, convening in January. Opposition to Mr. Smith, nominated yesterday for a five-year term, may find the A. P. of L. joining anti? Wagner Act Senators in opposition to the President. Such a test would provide a guide not only to Mr. Roosevelt's Senate strength, but also to the political power of John L. Lewis’ C. I. O. which gave passive support to the reappointment of the 38-year-old former Pennsylvania steel worker. President William Green of the A. PF. of L. declined comment after Mr. Smith was reappointed, but had communicated to the President the Federation Executive Council's protest. The coungil said Mr. Smith was biased andiacked qualifications. Mr. Smith's reappointment coincided with a C. I. O. publication pledging Mr. Lewis’ organization to “rally all its forces to defend the Wagner act. Major changes in the Labor Relations Law are expected to-be sug-

gress, President Roosevelt has said that he and Mr. Green are in accord on a need for clarification of some of the act’s provisions, but that no specific change had been agreed to. The Chamber of Commerce of the United States favors outright repeal. rl :

JURY LIKELY TO SET EASTON FATE TODAY

MICHIGAN CITY, Aug. 27 (U. P.).—A jury of 12 men, six of them farmers, was expected to decide the fate late today of Orelle -Easton, 25-year-old North Dakota youth who allegedly left the fi: for the “easy money” of a crim@ career and ended up accused of murdering a state policeman. ; Final arguments, limited to three hours each, were -to be presented before the case went to the jury. The State asks the extreme penalty, the electric chair. The defense hopes to save the slim youth on its plea of insanity, which was given a setback yesterday by a three-man sanity commission which examined Easton and said he was sane. Previous testimony from defense witnesses indicated that insanity ran in the Easton family and that Orelle was mentally unbalanced. Orelle, accompanied by his brother Clarence, 27, allegedly shot four bullets into State Patrolman Ray Dixon near La Porte last June,
