West is a newspaper man who has
been two years with the commission
as an investigator. He was assigned
by Chairman Frank P. Walsh to dig
into the whole mass of facts collected
by the commission about the Rookie
fellers and Colorado.
Write it straight and put the whole
thing in nutshell so we can have it
in a government record for anybody
who wants the truth to read" said
Walsh to West.
So West came in yesterday with
some report. The exact wording of
1t could not be learned. In effect,
however, it points at Old Man Rock
efeler and young John D. as whole
sale murderers. 1t pictures young
John d. sitting cool in his office at

were described by West. Letters
signed by young John D. show he
knew OF the hiring of armed thugs
and was in close touch every day with
campaign of violence, arson and
murder.
So West suggested that the official
report Of the commission should Of
ticiaIy brand the RockefeIlers with
some sort Of name as murderers or
man slaughterers.
1t is the theory of both Walsh and
West that the two RockefeIlers are
red-handed mUrderers in a more real
sense than the gunner who saw the
crimson spatter from their victims.
The question is now before the
commission of deciding whether a

III / can't beat them to the punch

That's the way Eddie Wallace.
Brooklyn's classiest featherweight
looks at the boxing game.
For, besides being handy with his
fists, Eddie is full fedged lawyer
and when not busy in the ring picks
off some loose change arguing Black
stone In court.
But it's for the future that Eddie
has crammed his head full OF law.
Every boxer should have some bus
mess or profession TO fall back on
when he's through fighting" Wallace
says. "A boxer usually makes pretty
fair money In the ring but when he's
through there his income generally
is cut down 10 almost nothing. Only
the boys who prepare themselves can
keep on making better than living
wages"
Wallace isn't the only boxer who's
prepared for the future. Leach
Cross is a dentist with quite prac.
tice and he expects TO develop 1t into
big one when he bids farewell to
the ring.
