Murder
Inquiry Clears
Life Prisoner
Nicholas Laresch Probably
Innocent of Licutenant's
Death, Grand Jury Holds
in Formal Prcsentmcnt
Brothers Bullet Blamed
No Cause Is Found Against
Mrs. Brooks; Next Move
in Case Up TO Governor


Nicholas Laresch, who is serving a
life term in Auburn prison for the
murder Of Floyd Horton, Lieutenant
of the Police Department, was de-
clarcd innocent in prcsentmcnt
handed to Justice Wasservogel yes
tcrday by the Supreme Court grand
jury
This finding followed an invcstiga-
ton by the grand Jury into a possibl,
Lucille Emma Brooks, who was in the
party, one member of which is de-
clared to have shot the lieutenant No
Indictment was found against Mrs.
Brooks.
Larcsch Remains in Tombs
Laresch was brought from Auburn
prison to testify before the grand jury.
He is now in the Tombs. He will re-
until action is taken by Governor
Miller ON the grand jury's finding.
Justice Wasservogcl notified former
Governor Charles S. Whitman, who was
special deputy attorney general in
the investigation, and the facts will be
laid before Governor Miller to-day.
The presentmcnt says there is grave
doubt whether Laresch is guilty of the
crime for which he was sentenced or
Of any crime in connection with the
killing of Horton. The belief is eX-
pressed that Joseph Laresch, who was
killed by bullet from Horizons pistol,
was the one whose shot slew the off
Ger. Joseph Laresch was found dead
in the hallway of a rooming house in
which he lived several hours after the
killing Of Horton. He had died from
bullet wound.
The story told by Nicholas Larcsch
to the grand jury was that he visited
an upper West Side apartment house
with his brother, Joseph, and Mrs.
Brooks. When they arrived at $40
West l46th Street, Joseph Larcsch left
the automobile in which the party rode
and entered the building. All members
of the party had been drinking. La
rcsch said he did not know why his
brother entered the building.
When Joseph Laresch backed out Of
the house and entered the car, Laresch
said, shooting took place between his
brother and Lieutenant Horton, but he
himself was uharmed and took no part
in it.
No Cause Against Mrs. Brooks
The jury found no cause of action
against Mrs. Brooks. 1t was held that
her tcstfying before the grand jury
conferred no immunity from prosccu-
ton or indictment and that the District
Attorney had not promised her i'm
munity. The jury found no evidence
had been adduced which justified prose
cutting her.
The investigation into the shooting
of Horton has been in progress several
weeks. All witnesses il. the Laresch
case were recalled 1t is said to be
held by the grand jury that had

subway demonstrated its feasibility
engineers have been busy building
new ones, extending OLD ones, and
planning future ones. There is no
decrease in the travel upon the old
lines of transit, yet our city streets
and country roads are black with
motor cars swiftly carrying passen-
gers and freight where formerly were
only slow -moving. horse drawn We
hicles.
THE telephone. telegraph. and
ocean cables have never been able to
handle the traffic thrust upon them.
AS new facilities are created much
business handled by mail is trans
ferred to the wires. The radio and
the wireless have not lifted the bur-
den from the cables.
Telephone engineers project their
curves of the future of telephony and
tell us that the telephone is yet in
it's infancy.
There are 13 million telephones in
use in this country-a surprisingly
small number. Every day there are
made an average of 36 million tele-
phone calis-the staggering totol of
13 billion calls annually. AS great as
that total may seem that is approx
mately but one call every three days
for each man. woman and child in
this country. Yet you ask any busi-
ness man how ~nn ny times his phone
rings and he will tell you once a
second.
Let's compare these totals with
the motor car, another mechanism
which has taken its rank along with
other indispensable utilities. for it is
the subject of good roads which has
brought us together tonight; and If
it were not for the motor car there
would be no good roads.
These are, according to the u. s.
Bureau OF Public Roads, 10,44S,000
passenger and commercial cars in
use in this country. For purposes of

THE automobile was born into a
roadless world. Compared with the
millions OF miles of telephone wires
and the thousands Of miles of steel
rails which make these other two
great inventions effective, the auto
mobile is still in a roadless world.
The automobile was the creation of
brains which dream of thousands OF
miles OF boulevards where once ex-
listed mudholes and ruts. Once more
by comparison we have only COM
menced to cover up those mudholes
and ruts. Yet a good roads nove-
ment which promises incalculable
benefits to mankind is we'll under
way. In this movement the automo-
bile has been the most powerful mis-
sionary, emphasizing as nothing else
has done the universal advantages to
be derived from adequate highways.
am going to leave the telling of
what has been accomplished in the
building of good roads to some OF you
gentlemen here present who are COM
petent to speak with authority upon
that subject
"But you will say there must be
some limit to the utility Of inventions
such as telephones, telegraph. wire
less, railroads. subways, automobiles,
etc. OF course there is a limit since
only God, time and space are infinite.
THE answer to our question must
lie along this line of thought There
was no need for the telephone until
it's use was general. We had been
content with the messenger who de-
livered by hand our written notes.
Before there were subways there
were elevated trains. and before
there We're elevated trains there were
street cars. and if we go back far
enough there were horse drawn bus
lines.

ship their freight by canal boats or
