HoYNE STATEMENT. CAUSES A
FURRY AT CITY HALL

When States Atty Hoyne cas-
uaIly mentioned yesterday that he
had enough evidence to indict the
civil service commissioners a furry
ran through the city hall.
Commissioner Joseph Geary, for
mer chief investigator for Hoyne, re-
signed. Later he reconsidered his
action. Then the commissioners an
nounced that they would immediate
ly begin a long delayed investiga-
ton of the police department. Then
Capt. P. D. O'Brien of the detective
bureau, who Hoyne says knew about
a slush defense fund collected for his
indicted nephew, left town for a
weeks furlough.
Hoyne's recent statements that
the police department was again in
control "of the agents of organized
criminiality'- and that the detective
bureau twas a den of thieves" were
ignored by Mayor Thompson, Chief
Healey and the civil service commits
sion.

LITTLE HOPE HELD OF SAVING
HILLSTROM

Salt Lake City, Utah. Nov. IT.
Gov. Spry was to wire President Viii
son today a reply to the presidents
virtual request for another reprieVe
for Joseph Hillstrom, who is under
sentence to be shot by firing squad
here tomorrow.
Spry's reply was expected to be a
refusal, although this was not def1n-
itely known. The governor declined
to discuss his reply until it was dis
patched. 1t was apparent that he
was giving the presidents request
the most careful consideration.
Everything was ready at the prison
to carry out the death sentence. Hill
strow's probable last day on earth
was spent under the close observation
of the death watch.
Overcoming nervousness which the
death watch had reported verged on
a breakdown, Hillstrom slept better
last night than he has for weeks.
81 am ready to de-" he said today.
The warden let him have razor and
