TRUNKS CONTAIN
ONLY CLOTHING
THREE MORE ARRESTS MADE
IN VIVIAN0 CASE
Theory That Trunks Shipped by Con-
spirators to ST. Louis Held
Bodies of Missing Young-
sters Is Exploded
fRy Associated Press. ]


ST. LOUIS, Aug. 4.-The discovery
today that three trunks had been
shipped from ST. Louis to Chicago by
men suspected of kidnapping Grace and
Tomasso ViViano confirmed the st.
Louis police in the belief that the dis
appearance of the children and the de-
mand for $25,000 ransom was the result
of a carefully worked out blackmailing
plot, which did not, however contem-
plate harm to the children.
The Chicago police telegraphed the
belief that the trunks contained the
children's bodies. They were opened,
however, and found to contain only
clothing.
The ST. Louis police theory of the
trunks is that they contained the prop
erty of Samuel Turrisi, who is believed
from their home, and of other members
of the blackmailing band.
The important arrests in the case
today numbered three, the prisoners
being Lamancia Giroloma, who hauled
the trunks from here to the express
office here Monday; Pietro Faniere, a
groceryman, who was Giroloma's en-
ployer, and another employe of FAM
ere's blishment.
The police learned through newspa-
per reporters that Marchesi Benedetto,
a cousin of Turrisi, had been missing
from his home since Monday He had
sold out his business the day before
saying that he was going to Calltornla.
1t is thought, however that he may
have gone to Chicago, and that nus
part in the plot was to receive the

After reciting the difficulties and
trials coincident to the loss of the orig
inal Santa Monica harbor project, the
speaker concluded with the words;
LET us get together and haye the

David Evans of Ocean Park discussed
the reasons for some of the opposing
factions taking the stand they have in
the campaign, and met their arguments
on various small matters by saying
that after consolidation all of these
little details would be arranged to
the satisfaction of all. Said he: "Of
all the newspaper matter that has been
printed against consolidation there is
not one word of argument, merely the
harping on trivialities After consol-
idation they will take care of them

Mrs. Agnes Murdoch, 45 years old,
a widow and proprietor of a rooming
house at 1120 Georgia street, was found
in an unconscious condition in her
room shortly after noon yesterday.
The doors and windows of the room
were closed and gas was pouring from
three open jets. She was taken to a
hospital and late last night the at
tendants said she would recover.
Whether Mrs. Murdoch attempted to
commit suicide or whether the open
Jets was due to an accident is not
known. Several days ago she is said
to have quarreled with her daughter,
Mrs. Larry Smith, who boarded with
her AS the result of the alleged dis
pute Mrs. Smith and her husband
moved and took apartments at 1917
West Eleventh street.
This caused Mrs. Murdock to become
despondent and she brooded about the
matter, finally becoming hysterical and
locking herself in her room yesterday
morning.
Later roomer in passing along the
hall detected the odor of gas and, un-
able to receive response when he
knocked on the door of Mrs. Murdock' s
room, forced an entrance and found
her lying on the floor.

ness shortly after her arrival at the
hospital, but refuses to discuss the

RESTING EASIER
WILL BE PUT IN PLASTER
JACKET TODAY
PHYSICIAN DENIES PASTOR HAS
PARALYSIS
Popular Preacher VIII Be Unable to
Occupy Pulpit or Leave Sick
Room for Two
Months

That Rev. Robert J. Burdette will
not be able to return>to his pulpit or
even to leave his bed for two months
was decided last night when DR.. A. j..
Scott, who has charge of the case,
reached the conclusion that the suf-
fer would have to submit to a period
of encasement in a plaster cast. Alb
solute rest and quiet was the doctor )
verdict This was necessary from the
beginning of the trouble which followed
a fall sustained by the popular pas
tor several months ago at Sunnycrest,
the Pasadena home of the Burdettes.
DR.. Burdette slipped and fell to the
stone floor of a veranda and suffered
q serious concussion of the spine.
"Dr. Burdette is resting easier to-
night than he has for several weeks "
said DR.. Scott on his return from
Eventide, the Burdette's new home at
Cliffton-by-the-S last night.
"Dr. Burdette is suffering from
neuralgia of the sciatic nerve. The
pain the doctor endures is reflex of
the injury to his spine which he sus-
tanned several months ago at mis- home
in Pasadena. The pain has been COLI
stant and excruciating"
Asked about the rumor that DIR.
Burdette was partially paralyzed DR..
Scott said that his distinguished pa
tient was about the livliest paralytic
ever seen anywhere. The physician
said it was a ridiculous rumor and
far from the truth.
Has Railroad Spine
1--WE will put Dr. Burdette in plas-
ter cast tomorrow and he will, in all
likelihood. remain there at least two
months. He will not be able to return
to his pulpit before October. He will
be confined to his bed in absolute quiet
during that period"
Asked to explain the nature of the
minister's affliction DR.. Scott said:
HE has a railroad spine The origi-
nal injury was to the bodies of the
vertebra due to the shock of the fall.
The cellular tissues of the bone are
spongy and inhamed. The consequent
pressure on the spinal cord causes the
neuralgia of the sciatic nerve. There
is no danger and nothing incurable
about the case. With perfect quiet
we shall have DIR. Burdette restored to
health in a few months He must
have a chance to get well. The in
fammation should gradually disappear
provided we can keep him immobile." "
DR.. Scott believes after the plaster
of paris jacket is in position his pa
tient will suffer much less and VIII
soon be resting easier than he has for
months.

the money for the development of oil

Justice Summerfeld in dismissing

as to Waugh's guilt, but that the dis
missal came because of the poor show
