CHICAGO. Sept. 7- Five men and two women held on charges of harboring John Dillinger and members of lus gang were reported to have been named today in true bills voted by the federal grand jury. Included among those reported named was Attorney Louis Piquett, alleged "pay-off man' for tho.outlaws. Other principals were Dr. William Loeser and Dr. Harold Bernard Cassidy. said by federal authorities to have admitted performing facial surgery on Dillinger and Homer Van Meter, and Arthur W. O’Leary, assistant to Piquett. The reported action against the

gravely offered her his arm. There was no trace of the tears that had stained Mrs. Coo’s calm face a few hours earlier when her lawyer pictured her to the jury as a woman betrayed by her friends, lovers and the law. Mrs. Clift, a mother, 27 years old. wept silently when she stood before the supreme court justice. She pressed a handkerchief to her ryes. Fir her, too, it wts the first show of eniotion. Mrs. Clift faced bitter attack during the trial a.s the betrayer of her friend. Spared herself from the prospect of the electric chair by an agreement to testify for the state, Martha in her testimony calmly accused Eva of hitting Wright with a mallet and throwing him under her automobile. The state charged the murder was prompted by Mrs. Coo's desire to collect $10,000 insurance on Wright, her shuffling, crippled handyman. Mrs. Clift testified that she was “too nervous” after Mrs Coo's attack to stop her car. The state contended the car was driven buck and forth over the dying Wright, in a midnight plot on Crumhorn mountain. The murder occurred in a lonely lane and Wright's body was thrown into a highway ditch. Mrs Coo was ordered taken to Sing Sing Friday morning to await execution. Unless the court of appeals acts, only Governor Herbert H Lehman can save her by an act of executive clemency. A few days before the trial began the governor refused to save Mrs. Anna Antonio, convicted of murdering her husband, from exe-

cution

"Startling disclosures," the nature of which was kept secret, were said by federal agents to have developed in the course of the grand jury investigation. A confession by one of the doctors that Piquett paid them $10,000 for the two operations was said to be in the possession of government officers. Later the grand jury turned its attention to evidence bearing on similar charges against Miss Marie Conforti, associate of the slain Van Meter, and Mr. and Mrs. William Finerty. accused of harboring the outlaws. They, too. were reported named in true hills. • Meanwhile, Arthur McGinnis, a former cellmate of Dillinger, was identified by a dozen fashionably attired women as the "bridge bandit” who robbed them of $3,000 in jew'elry on Aug 22 One of these was Mrs. Henry G Zander, the hostess and wife of the manager of the Illinois Home Owner's Loan corporation. Authorities indicated they would search safety deposit boxes rented by Piquett in efforts to trace loot amassed by the Dillinger gang.

STRIKE TOLL TEN fContlnueil From rutte One) would be idle by Saturday and the ndustry crippled. • He hinted other international unions might join forces with the textile workers, a possible forecast of the country's first w tieral strike. American Federation of Labor leaders said this was hardly probable. Nevertheless 500,000 garment workers were under strike 'call for Oct 1 and 14.6000 h wry workers considered a sympathy strike. The cotton garment workers had their own grievance but their industry is intimately relate ! to the textile trades. That labor and capital have locked in a grim battle which only extraordinary efforts will end was seen in the wrathful declarations of leaders on both sides. Gorman warned that no proposal for ending the strike will be considered until every textile mill in the land is shut down. His attitude was matched by that of the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers, representing 9.000.000 of 11.000,000 spindles in New England, which asserted all questions of wages and conditions of employment which may arise in the future are matters to be handled between employer and employee." The association indicated it would be loath to accept any mediation by the presidential board. Blame for violence is the strike was placed upon mill owners and public officials acting in their behalf by Gorman who termed their attitude that of "feudal barons." He said he might appeal to President Roosevelt to ask southern governoifi .fjj, protect strikers. Nine of the ten dead were strikers or their sympathizers. One was a deputy sheriff. First reports of threatened food shortages came from Dunn. N. C., where storekeepers refused credit to strikers. Strikers’ children were reported ill. The south was considered the most likely danger spot of further violence. There were tlw greatest troop concentrations, the most militant activity by strikers in closing mills. Canada Plans Kidnapinii Laws W TION FOLLOWS MIDI ( LION OF JOHN LABATT,, Rl( II BREWER MONTREAL. <UP> — Canada, not vet over the shock of coping with its first kidnaping case, the abduction of John Labatt, millionaire Ontario brewer, is engaged in formulating plans to discourage further kidnaping attempts. The proposals include: 1. The death penalty for kidnapers. The present penalty is 25 years imprisonment. 2. Co-ordination of all blanches of law enforcement in solving kidnaping eases. 3. Universal fingerprinting of Canadian citizens and residents to prevent known desperate criminals from entering Canada. 4. Closing of bank accounts of kidnap victims by the state to prevent their families from paying ran-

som.

Federal authorities, however, are not inclined to rush into any ill-con-sidered plan, or amendment to the statute, as a result of the Labatt

kidnaping case.

The proposal to take over the affairs of Individuals who are kidnaped to prevent ransom payment is regarded in some quarter* as a possible infringement on individual rights with a certain doubt of its validity.

SITUATION (RITU AL (C’onllourd From I'nut* One)

the recent session of the Long-dom-inated legislature automatically became effective at midnight. City officials had threatened the use of force to prevent their enforcement. Heavily guarded by troops already on duty, Long was in his Roosevelt hotel apartment mapping strategy against the city that had rejected his rule at the polls. Members and sympathizers of the local political machine .in apparent overwhelming majority talked angrily. Growing anger was evident on the streets and public gathering places. Local newspapers, unanimously anti-Long, denounced the kingfish with emotional bitterness. Observers saw in the situation

dangerous potentialities

The local machine fought hack for the moment with court injunctions but its members were known to be well armed and made no secret of their hatred of Long. In addition Mayor T. Semmes Wamsley and his cohorts commanded the police department of 8.000 men. In the court petition that resulted in a second injunction against state police entering New Orleans, the city announced its intention to "defend its right by

force of arms if necessary.”

This injunction was granted yesterday by Civil Judge Provosty. It fortified a similar injunction granted several days ago in Baton Rouge, and an injunction prohibiting Long’s registrar of voters from sciatching a.nus from the registration books

forced, will have powerful bearing on the outcome of next Tuesday s congressional@priniary that will decide whether Long’s dictatorial rule of Louisiana wil^ be strengthened or further broken. ® A mysterious figure was Guy Mol*ny, soldier of fortune, former chief of police, and a close ally of the ioeai machine. Molony arrived yesterday from Central America, was .immediately summoned before Long's committee, and announced that he had once recruited "some men” just before*an election, and said he would he "glad” to do it again. Motqpy is celebrated throughout Latin America as a •guerilla fighter and military strategist. • •
