BEFORE HE DIES
FROM HIS CANCER
Updike Wants His Two Sons Prose-
cuted to the Limit for Plot
ting to Kill Him.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
CHICAGO, Jan. 1S.-Out Of q
tangled mass of statements by Irving
and Herbert Updike, accused of a SEN
sational plot to murder their father,
Furman D. Updike, wealthy Oak Park
resident, and his wife, police today
selected list Of facts which they
believe duplicates both sons as equal
ly guilty.
AS details Of the conspiracy un-
folded themselves today, it was
learned that it is Herbert Updike, the
younger brother and not Irving, whose
infatuation for Nellie De Onsonne, a
cabaret singer, Ted to an estrange-
ment with the father.
The elder Updike, who is suffering
from cancer and whose days are
numbered, announced today he will
demand the prosecution of both sons.
at first I thought Herbert was
led on by his brother" he said. Now
I feel that both are guilty. Herbert
did not tell me Of the plot until after
one attempt to kill us had failed"
Friends of Irving Updike declared
today he was double crossed by his
younger brother-that Herbert sought
to regain favor of mis- parents by re-
vealing the plot and blaming Irving
for it.
Federal authorities took hand in
the case today as both of the broth
ers were held, without bail, at the
Oak Park police station. Department
of Justice officials announced that
Herbert's alleged trips to Indiana with
the cabaret singer are under investi-
cation.
Although a marriage license for
Herbert and Miss De Onsonne is on
record in Indiana, the cabaret singer
today still stoutly insisted Herbert is
nothing but a friend and that there is
no bond between them.
A mysterious effort to secure re-
lease Of the two brothers on bail was
baked today by their father, who
requested they be held for trial
