RAISES SOME OF THE DEAD

n HEY say that some charitable ladies OF Houston
recently visited bereaved woman and gave
her SIS to pay her husbands burial expenses. The
money was in silver coin and dollar bills. One of
these angels of mercy found after she left the
house that she had dropped one OF her gloves. She
returned to get ii and upon opening the door She
beheld the corpse sitting up counting the money.

Nothing particularly remarkable about this.
Twenty-Five dollars in spot cash would bring many
a corpse TO life these days.

not yet hurled at the ThOmpsOn-Lun-
din-Healey crowd. They involve a
certain close member of ThOmps0n's
political family and a negro poIiti-
clan.
The former is said to have told the
police captain of his district to allow
certain politician, who stands dis
credited right now for too close rela-
tiOnship to vice interests, the freedom
of the district. The politician was to
drive resOrtkeepers, gamblers and
other members of the underworld
into line for the Thompson machine.
The negro politician is said to have
made several thousands of dollars by
getting saloon licenses for certain
cafe owners on the South Side.
Against Healey, HOyne says he has
discovered hundreds of clear cases Of
maIfeasance in office. The documents
surrendered to the grand jury by the
mayor and Healey are said to confirm
this charge.
~ In discussing his determination to
ask warrants for Chief Healey, HOyne
said:
THE statement has been made by
Chief Healey and his friends and by
the mayor on at least two occasions
that I was playing politics. The ma
yor has said the serving Of subpeonas
on the City Hall was disgrace to
Chicago. Now 1 intend that the pub
lie and the press shall judge which is
the greater disgrace, the City Hall or
the states attorneys office. I am
going to lay my cards on the table
for all to see.
''The situation between the mayor
and myself is very much like the
property owner who cutters up his
sidewalk and back alley with filth |
and dirt and then protests when any |
one cleans it up on the ground that |
he's raising too much dust The |
people who allow filth to accumulate
are the ones who must suffer the

''In going before the municipal
court and asking for the arrest of
Chas. G.. Healey Pm coming out in
the open. 1 want the people to know
why I'm doing this. Pm going to
hew to the straight line. don't want
to ask for warrants on generalities.
I've got specific instances of wrong

any intention of taking it from the
grand jury. l simply want the people
to know what's going on
Asst States Atty Henry Berger
was assigned by HOyne to present
the argument for warrants. It was
expected that Judge Olson would
transfer the case to some other
judge. Hoyne said he would accept
any judge named by Olson.
