CHICAGO MEN NAMED IN STOKES CONSPIRACY
Negroes Alleged To Have Sought
 False Testimony

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-Two Chicago men, both negroes, were reported 10 have been named in true bill charging conspiracy, after Mrs. Helen Elwood Stokes had testified before the grand jury today, concerning her charges of a conspiracy to ruin her reputation in connection with the New York divorce suit of her hus- band, W. E. D. Stokes, wealthy hotel man.
 The two negroes reported to have been named by the grand jury-al- though no indictment has been re- turned in court-were alleged to have solicited false affidavits con corning Mrs. Stokes.
 The Stokes divorce contest reached it's most sensational phase several days ago when Mrs. Stokes person. ally led an investigation of her charges that g conspiracy to repre- sent her falsely as a former inmate of a notorious resort in Chicago's one-time segregated vice district, had been matched by persons she alleged were agents of her husband.

 SHATTUCK THEFT. IS SHOT TO DEATH

An overturned table the crash of breaking glasses, a shriek from the Eirl beside him. and he was free fir ing with an automatic upon the police.
 The officers fired back. as other detectives, stationed outside. rushed into the smoke filled room. A hail of fire swept over the tables, as Alourey crouching, blazed away steadily.
 Suddenly he pitched forward and fell, still firing as he writhed upon the floor.
 Then. the automatic magazine empty. he collapsed. Five bullets were Tn his shattered body; two Of his wounds were in the chest.
 Thursday night, in Paris hospital, doctors were struggling to save his life, that he might stand trial for his many crimes. It was thought that he would survive.
 Mile. Mulleau, captured with him, is under arrest. IL is understood that Shattuck is now in London, where he has beal running down other clues on the bandits hiding place.
 IL was the hominG instinct of the Paris apache that finally led to his capture. Had he been able to stay away from his haunts and friends of the Paris underworld he might have remained free, coming here he was soon recognized,
 DF1ttcd Across The W Ortd.
 The history of Mourey's crime and the ruthless search for him writes a new page in fantastic stories of in ternatonal crime.
 Wanted here, Mourey drifted to America and secured employment as a butler in the Shattuck mansion in Greenwich Village, New York living under the alias of Henri Boilat." Possibly he had intended to start a 5s, Otsl1 such dreams failed when he found himself surrounded by the wealth of the American home.
 Having carefully planned a coup, Mourey gathered q band of French criminals, and on April 9, 1922, secretly admitted them to the house, hiding them about the building until the following Sunday afternoon.
 Then, emerging from the hiding places the bandits attacked MT. and Mrs. Shattuck and eight servants, locking them in a cellar wine vault. Mourey, triumphant over the house hold, heapcd abuse upon Mrs. Shattuck and vowed that he would return and kill her. Mrs. Shattuck, who later refused to live in the house until Mourey was behind prison bars. was made ill by his treatment and threats.
 With their victims suffocating in the vault, the bandits quietly footed the house at will. Shattuck, work ing only with q pen-l1nife, pried open tho lock of the prison, however, and released the household when Geath seemed certain.
 Moutey and his men fled as Shat tuck approached, but they managed to escape with q loot valued at $I5- 00G. Two of the men, Diaset and BsgnolL were captured and sent to Sing Sing for from 40 to Go years the judge declaring that they had en- deavored to commit ticndish murder.
 Shattuck. determined to run Mourey to ear -h, closed his home and an nounced that it would not be opened until the bandit was captured.
 The first clue came when a woman in San Francisco surrendered a dia- mond studed watch, part of the loot, which Mourey had given her. The millionaire, who had offered a S5O- GOO reward for Moureys capture, was in Paris several months ago investi- gatinC the case.

 Think what this means to the or dinary household. All the risk of bottle of deadly poison on the shelf is eliminated. Even a child is safe with Zonite. Yet, apart from this fact, Zonite as an antiseptic actually represents a long stride forward in the field of preventive medicine.
 Zonite is in use today in many hospitals. Its position is thor oughly established. 1t can be used freely. It is non poisonous, non-caustic, non-irritating. Your physician will substantiate these statements. Ask him.

 But Zonite is different. It is a n-poisonous antiscptic, but not ''mild." Its germicidal power is seyenty-fve times greater than peroxide. Not only that, but Zonitc is actually forty times as effective as the strongest solu- ton of carbolic acid or bichloride

 A counter move by his enemies made Wednesday, asking that @ grand jury be appointed 10 lnNes1- gate the employment of Gunmen by election was successful when District Judge George W. Clark issued the jury order late ThursdaN. The chief executive seemed some what annoyed at his continual defeat in this court. Judge Clark was brought before the military board probing floggings in the country, and according to the evidence taken at the hearings, which was given out by Walton. the juriSt admitted haV- ing been a member of the kIan at one time.
 Simultaneously the governor sent out another appeal for financial aid with which to carry on his tisht. He issued 9 statement SJmmonlAg every man in the state to show his colors, either to appear on one slde or on the other.
 one of the many "trumps" the gov- ernor declared he still holds in his hand was displayed Thursday, when the chief executive announced that more than 800 persons who had been flogged illegally by the members If the maskd organization, would be drought here and group picture Of them would be taken.

 This picture, he said, would be used fs7~r7 fsa1 hnf 10 special election of December 6, which he has called to give the people a chance to impeach him by voting to allow legislators to meet in spe- cial session without his call.
 Walton admitted Thursday that he has received several threats If death unless he withdraws from the fight on the klan.
 "That is just as I supposed they would do," he declared. T will fight. I would rather die by the hand of an assassin than die the death of a coward.
 The governor believes he is win ming his fight. He said Thursday that about S40.000 had been spent by him in keeping the troops on guard over counties he had declared under mar tial law, but points with pride to the fact that floggings have ceased.
 He believes he has cut off the in- visible hand which he said, was c1utchlng at the very heart of the courts. But, the governor admits, there still is much to be done.
 His enemies persistently declare he has spent something like $125,000 to make his fight. This, the chief executive said, is lie.
 The governor went about his plans Thursday, determined to prevent a trump" meeting of legislators should they attempt one, believing it legal under the provisions of the special election Tuesday.
