". J. HOGAN
IS FOUND
DEAD
Leader Of Anti-Dry Forces
Killed by FaII-PoIice
Fear Foul Play

Police today are investigating
the death of William ]. Hogan,
prominent worker in the National
Liberal Alliance, an anti-prohibi-
ton organization, and editor Of
The Liberty Bell, monthly organ
of the alliance, whose lifeIess body
was found early today in the base
ment of the office building at
1410 G street northwest.
A preliminary examination of
the body showed that the skull
was fractured, several ribs broken
and that the man had suffered
serious internal injuries. An in
quest will be held tomorrow.
Fear Foul Play.
1t was believed by police that
Hogan either fell or was shovel
over the balustrade on the third
floor where he maintained his
offices and fell the four stories
to the tiny hall in the basement.
The body was discovered at 7
o'clock by James Page, colored
porter in a barbershop in the base
ment of the building. Hogan is
believed to have been dead for
several hours at that time.
Find Flask in Pocket.
In his pocket was pint flask
containing a small amount of what
police say was corn liquor. More
corn liquor and a bottle of ginger
ale were found in Hogan's office
on the third floor.
A letter that Hogan had apparent
ly begun to write shortly before
his death was still in the type
writer. The letter was in con.
nection with the business of his
organization.
A pile of other correspondence,
much Of 1t from F. c. Harley, ma.
tional chairman of the Alliance,
also lay on the desk.
An autopsy will be performed
on the body to determine the cause
of death.
Few of the occupants Of nearby
offices had ever known him or
spoken to him in the five years
that he kept his third floor offices.
Returned From Trip.
Hogan was said to have gone to
his office about 10 o'clock last
night and turned on. the light in
the room in which he conducts his
personal business and keeps the
files OF his correspondence. He had
returned only a few days ago from
a business trip to Pennsylvania.
Police who were Investigating the
death today declared that so far
they had been unable to locate
Hogan's residence in Washington
or the home address Of his parents.
1t was believed that he had come
to Washington from Chicago.
A telegram from Mr.. Hurley,
dated September II, asking Hogan
to meet him at the Union Station
Wednesday afternoon and bring 500
with him, was among the papers on
Hogan's desk.

PERRYG0'S
MOTHER
HOPES
Grateful to Public Which 10
Mastering Force to Save
Boy From GaIIoWs

Neighbors Of Edgar Randolph
Perrygo, twenty-five, who killeC
a woman four years ago and who
is condemned to be hanged No.
vember IA, have joined the move
ment to have the boys sentence
committed to life imprisonment.
A petition to President Coolidge
is finding ready signers in Ana
costa, Congress Heights and
Oxon Hill, Nd, where Perygo
was born and reared. The three
communities, which once before
sought to save the boy, are re-
newing their fight.
Family Respected.
The men and women Of these
sections know the Perrygo family,
presided over by an honest and re-.
spected father-a truck farmer;
know the mother, a little woman
who brought ten children into the
world, and whose suffering cannot
now be told in words; and knew the
boys and girls of the family, eight
now living. all but one OF them
have turned out well.
Doctor William A. White. noted
alienist of st. Elizabeth's Hospital
here, whose testimony at Chicago
helped to save Nathan Leopold, jr.,
and Richard Loeb from the gallows,
will be called upon next month to
do. a similar service for Perrygo.
An appeal from the hanging de-
cision will be taken up by the Dis.
trict Of Columbia Supreme Court in
October and a renewed effort will
be made to have Perrygo's sentence
committed to life Imprisonment on
the ground that he was mentally ir.
responsible. Doctor White was one
Of the alienists who testified for the
defense at Perrygo's first trial and
is expected to come forward again.
Crime Held Childish.
Perrygo committed murder to GET
money for girl whom he intended
to marry. The slain woman was
sixty-nine years old He struck
her over the head with an iron bar
took the money and left, without
any effort to conceal the crime OF
establish an alibi.
The essential childish nature OF
this crime" says Doctor White in
his book on insanity and the
Criminal Law" els apparent to
any one accustomed to an unpreju
diced evaluation Of human con
duct" t,.s .,s...
In the same book, Doctor White
describes Perrygo as a seventeen
year-old boy who had never done
well at anything and who had be
come q gambler and sort of cheap
Don Juan, (who) becomes engaged
to girl and they require a sum
Of money to start housekeeping"
Continuing his description Of
the crime, Doctor White says:
"One morning he takes her ChiG
fiancee) to q friends house, gets a
marriage license, drinks some chear
whiskey and then goes to the home
of q misery old woman, who il
reported to have a large sum
secreted In her clothing. He beats
her about the head with an iron
bar, killing her, rips her clothing
seizes most of the money, goes to
where his fiancee Is and gives the
money to her. He is sentenced to
be hanged"

Among the things noted by the
defense as indicating an abnormal
mental mpndition, Doctor White
listed: 81" e lack Of caution shown
by the defendant, who knew that hi
had been observed and identified BY
