START ROUNDUP
IN CHURCH CASE
Police VIII Bring All Witnesses Be-
fer Investigators to Clear Jp
Ausmus- -Daugherty Murders.

Chicago, Sept. IA roundup of
every person, thought to have any
knowledge of the murders of Ber-
nard Daugherty, automobile sales
man. and Carl Ausmus. demonstra-
tor. was started today by 80 po-
licemen at the request of inyesti-
gators.
No matter how remote the con-
nection may be. these witnesses,
some of whom may only know the
suspects. are to be questioned
thoroughly in an effort to find the
real facts concerning the killings,
which thus far resulted in half
dozen alleged confessions" which
we're later proven to be false.
Leon Parks, alleged accOmplice
of Harvey Church in the murders,
according to information furnished
by his Iandlady when she was
questioned last night, was in his
room when the murders were com
mitted. Apparently good alibis
have been established by Clarence
Wilder and Milton Walker, two
other suspects.
An effort was being made to de-
terrnine if Church alone was re-
sponsible for the crimes, as he
stated in his first confession.
