Additional evidence Of the perversioa
OF the statement OF Frank Francis,
Louisville prisoner, when it was first
published in Indianapolis. is afforded in
what has been termed supplementary"
statement made in the presence of mem
Der of the Times Stqr at Louisville,
Tuesday.
An indianapolis newspaper attempted
to show that Francis had declared Samuel
Lewis Shank had given the privilege of
naming 4 chief of police in event Of his
election to William Armitase and that
Armitage had selected Herman Kikhoff
for the job.
Neither OF these two men we're men
tlotied in either statement made by
Francis.
Lieut.. Walter s White IS to be chief
OF police II Samuel Lewis Shank is
elected, according to Francis. This was
one of the many statements made in his
supplemental statement" and elsewhere
Tuesday. The statement vas nothing
more than conversation on which notes
were taken by stenographer. as was
the original confession" which was not
signed until Tuesday.
Francis added that Capt Claude Johnl
son is to be chief Of decetives. He said
he had heard these things while he was
associated with J. Herbert Hartman, Re
publican candidate for city judge. in the
primary campaign. He said he had been
told by friends OF Hartman and Shank
that I'VE must get rid Of Kinney"
MENTIONS ONLY
TWO APPOINTMENTS.
These statements of the talking bur
glar" recall The fact that White was a
police captain under George Y. Coffin,
and that after COffin's break with Mayor
Charles W. Jewett he was reduced to the
rank OF lieutenant. Captain Johnson is in
charge OF the traffic department and was
very active in support Of Mr.. Thomas c.
Howe in the primaries Herbert Fletcher
is now chief of detectives and there is
evidence to show that he knew Francis
was wanted" all the time Francis says he
was in indianapolis.
Francis had nothing to say regarding
any Of the other appointments to be made
by the new mayor, but he appeared to be
positive in the cage of these two appoint
ments, appearing 20 be interested only
in police and detectives so far as the city
administration is concerned.
This supplemental statement was

was taken from the detective department
headquarters to the Jail If it has since
been signed the signature was obtained
after so o'clock Tuesday afternoon and
after Francis had completed his state
mont and had been taken back across
the street TO the jail.
During the conversation Michael Glenn
was present at all times. He appeared at
the headquarters of the Louisville de-
teetive department and said he, was in
tereSted in obtaining a statement from
Francis concerning stolen cars He re-
peatedly questioned the prisoner in this
connection. but Francis refused to talk
about any cars except those mentioned
in his confession, TO which Glenn was
given access. Glenn did not question
MIN concerning his statements regarding
Hartman. This was not necessary, for
Francis talked without urging.

AT
BRIDGE is PARK
BOARDS ORDER

Protracted failure of the county com
missioners to complete the sidewalks, paw
ing and drains of the Boulevard Place
bridge over Fall creek resulted today in
the board of park commissioners order
ing the north end barricaded. The north
end opens on Fall Creek boulevard.
Structural work on the bridge was com
pleted last November. Since then its has
been practically impossible, a few bads
of stone having been dumped into it to
be worn down helter skelter by such
traffic as dared venture on the bridge.
The commissioners are bound by con
tract With tte park board to finish the,
structure and the barricade will stand
until something happens, the park board.
said.
; JIG. Griffith, county surveyor. who was
at the park board meeting, said that
every time the commissioners tried TO do
anything on the bridge the park board
had workmen arrested. James II. Lowry,
superintendent of parks, said that ar
, rests were made about three years ago
when the county attempted to finish the
bridge without consulting the city, as to
its fishes.
GriE-a asked the board, on behalf of
the co'n,L issioners, to bear half the cost
Of improving the Meyers road from the
present end near Riverside park to
point one-half mile north, but the board
refused. The board would only promise
to view the highway when Griffith also
asked that Sutherland avenue be paved
from the present north end to Bellefon-
taine street where it would connect with
q pavement to be constructed by the
County and city under the connecting
link law
Representatives of the Brookside Civic
League and the Victor Bearings Com
pany presented further arguments in the
controversy over whether or not the
board shall approve a building permit
for the company to erect a factory at
Massachusetts avenue and Steel street.
The civic league opposes to permit be-
cause the location is within 800 feet OF
Spades Park. Speakers for the league
said they had discovered several other
good locations they would help the COM
pany get. The board took the matter
under advisement for another week.

Oil Expert Engaged
For Survey Of State

To get definite information on the
a survey of the state will be started
this summer by the State Geological
and Natural History survey, an oiH
expert having been engaged for this
work. 1t is hoped it will not be long
until definite and authoritative infor-
nation can be given to the public on
the possibilities of oil development.
The last session of the legislature
made provision for this survey and
the state geologist, DR. Freeman Ward
recently engaged DIR. Roy A. Wilson,
at present with the University of
Oklahoma to take charge of the work.
Doctor Wilson has had experience in
oil survey work in Oklahoma, Wyom-
ing and Montana, and is familiar with
oil structures in this section. He will
begin work July 1.
The geological survey believes that,
since South Dakota is a new geld, it
will require considerable detailed field
work preparatory to drilling to de-
|termine it's possibilities in oil produc-
ton. The general opinion among
biologists everywhere is that oil ia
some quantities at least will be found
in the state.
Unlike the findings of biologists
employed by oil companies, the find
ings ri the oil expert or the state sur
|vey will be given to the public.
The first report probably will be
published this fall.
