STATES ATTY. SURE
 RED FLANDERS EXIST
Denials Made By Bernard MontVid Are Not Credited By Authorities

Scoffing at the dying statement 1 made by Bernard Montvid in which he denied the existence of a Red Hand society of America" States ! Attorney Hugh M Alcern has issued a statement in which he declares that from papers found in Montvid's pos- session he knows that there is such an organization. Interpreter M R.
 Malinowsky of this city is also of the opinion that such society exists and during the trial he secured the names of over twenty-five supposed mem- bers in different parts of the country.
 Does Not Believe Montvtd.
 States Attorney Alcorn goes far ther than to declare that Montvid was implicated in the New Britain murder only. He declares he feels sure that two of the shots which snufred out the life of Father zebris came from Montvid's gun and he is equally positive that Montvid took an equal part ir the brutal strangling of the woman. The ante nnortem statements of the condemned murder CT were fabrications, in the opinion of the authorities and those who worked on the case.
 NO reiatlVeS claiming the body, the remains of Montvid were buried yes- terday, Rev. o. T. Magnell, officiating
 Among many other facts which are said to prove the existence of Red Hand society" is the letter received by Montvid while in the Hartford jail in which he was warned to keep his mouth shut. The letter was signed by the Red Hand" and another mis- sive informed Montvid, that he could get out of the organization if he wanted to but he msut remember his oath and keep silent on the subject forever after.
 Evidence of Cooperation.
 Another fact not brought out at the trial which is deemed as highly significant is that on February 20 Montvid and Krakas were known to have been in New York and at 12 o'clock that noon they mailed letter to Father Bojnow- ski in this city. At 1920 o'clock on that same day a letter written by Kra- kas, was mailed from Worcester, Mass. to Stanley Vinicaitis of 8 Spring street in which he informed his former boarding boss that he must leave him and expressed regret that made it impossible for him to return to New Britain. Un- less there was some organized band working together 1t Is impossible to

ODD JOBS MUCH
IN DEMAND NOW
Aid of Organizations in SeCur-
ING Work Asked by Employ
ment Bureau Head.

Due TO the fact that the most Of
those applying to the Indiana free en-
ployment office for work are unskilled
laborers there has continued 10 be a
greater supply Of men during the sum-
mer than was necessary to meet the
demand from employers. Work for
these men must be largely odd jobs
at which many could tide themselves
over If those having the work would
but take the necessary steps to con-
meet the job and the man.
In the opinion of Supt Murphy OF
the employment office tx is now time
TO prepare for the coming winter
which Will bring the usual OVersupply
Of unemployed men. Murphy wishes
TO enlist the aid Of every charitable
organization in the city 10 cooperate
with his office in securing positions for
the unemployed.
I'VE would be able to secure many
more positions said Murphy Monday
morning. "if the charitable OrganlZa-
tons and associations were affiliated
with this branch Office of the Indiana
bureau OF free employment in our city.
The success in securing positions
for our applicants has been phenOm-
email and we find that the employers
that there is no charge TO the employ
er or the employe.
Our motto is Help Others to Help
Themselves. Surely every humane
man or woman ought to be able and
willing 10 contribute such a small
amount of work for sweet charity's
sake.
we not only furnish work for the
unemployed, but, in appreciation of
our services. those whom we have Sc
cured positions for are ever ready and
willing to inform Us of vacancies about
TO occur, which enables Us to supply
the satisfactory help needed.
we question each applicant as TO
age and previous employment refer
ences, which gives us in a measure
some assurance of the applicants
character and reliability.
we wish that this appeal would
sink away down deep into the heart
OF every man and woman that recOg-
niZes that the greatest of all virtues is
charity. or that Christianity without
good works resembles a sounding brass
and a tinkling cymbal"
