Flaws Found In STORY Told BY
Louis MaZer.

BIZ United Press
CANTON, Ohio, Aug. 19.-Alibi of
Louie Mazer, held in Cleveland
charged with the murder of Don r.
Mellett, was under careful investiga
ton by Joseph r. Roach, special po.
lice counsel, and others working on
the case here today.
Two discrepancies appeared in
Mazer's account of his actions be-
fore and after the murder. according
to Roach. Mazer said he WAS g.,
the home of Floyd Streitenbergcr, a
policeman, at the time Mellett was
shot.
Streitenberger, interviewed in
Buffalo where he was attending a
convention, corroborated Mazer's s
story. He hold interviewers, how
ever, that he had not been friendly
with Mazer for three years. Roach
said today he has learned that
Streitenberger and Mazer have been
especially intimate the last few
months.
NJ The Stark County grand jury
which is probing the Mellett murder
was adjourned today until next
Wednesday to allow further time to
collect evidence and to- await ap-
pointment Of a special assistant to
County Prosecutor c. B. McClintock.

BUDGET FIGURES
MEET OPPOSITION
CounciImen Are Especially
Against Reducing Police.

With city councilmen proposing
to eliminate the reduction OF all
grades Of policemen between patrol
men and sergeants to patrolmen and
the park boards failure Thursday to
GUST park and recreation depart
ment attorneys, the city admins
tratipn's proposed budget for 1927
met considerable opposition today.
To allow longer time for considera-
ton of the budget, eouncilmen today
postponed the date for public hear
ing from Sept. to 1880 p. u. Sept. 3.
Majority faction councilmen will
make a legal test to determine
whether the council may raise the
estimate, Boynton j, Moore, presi-
dent, said today. Moore contends
council has the legal right to raise
the budget from $1.O35, while City
controller William C. Buser says
the legislative body only may lower
the estimate.
4 However, park board members
slashed $4,000 from its original es.
innate, making, the chief reduction
by eliminating 500 900 for boulevard
resurfacing.t
Moore is especially opposed to the
reduction Of the policemen.

Sentence.

WEIGH, w. Va, Aug. 20.-Unable
to comprehend the significance of
the death sentence imposed upon
him, Adam Rurress, Is. remains In
the county Jail here undisturbed by
his fate and uninterested in the
moves. being made to save him.
The boy. a moron. was convicted
Of criminal attack upon the 9-year-
old daughter of coal miner at Ha.
waco, a mile from here. Without a
normal mind, Adam was unable to
realize the seriousness Of the crime,
nor was he able to understand what
his trial was all about.
when Judge James A. Strothers
pronounced the sentence he said:
Your crime is beyond comment, and
it is the sentence of This court that
you be taken to the State peniten.
tiaFy and confined there until Oct.
20 when you shall be hanged by the
neck until you are dead" but to the
boy 1t meant nothing. Prison of
ficials say he has no conception of
death. and cannot be made to under
stand what faces him
The boys attorneys have secured
a stay Of execution for sixty days,
and are working on papers which
will be filed in an attempt to at
least change the sentence to one of
life Imprisonment.

.88 j. s. BEER
AGENTS OPEN
WAR ON SUBS
Brigade Intends to Remove
Beverage From Market
by Christmas.
COL. WADDELL IN CHARGE
Andrews Is Confident He
Will Succeed.

Bu United Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.-The
newly organized Federal beer squad
under Col. James c. Waddell took to
the field today in an attempt to re-
move beer from the bootleg market
by Christmas.
Millions of gallons of genuine beer
is reaching thirty citizens annually,
and assistant Secretary of the Treas.
ury Andrews has ordered Wa ldell 10
stop the leak.
Waddell has eighty-eight agents
under his comma I'd to check on
breweries and cereal beverage
plants. These detectives will also
war on wildcat" breweries which
produce large quantities of high
powered beer.
With a Federal tax on one.tenth a
cent a gallon imposed on cereal
beverages. prohibition investigators
have authority to enter all such
manufacturing plants to ascertain if
the beverage made meet legal re
quirements.
hiky SuudO ACtlNt
Special attention will be given
plants where high-powered beer is
made and then dealcoholized to one
half Of one per cent before being dis
tributed.
At the same time, Andrews alco!
hol squad swung into action against
the diversion of 100000 gallons of
commercial alcohol into bootleg
channels each year.
The new offensive of the alcohol
brigade also is aimed at needle" or
"shot" beer. Prohibition leaders feel
that with the exit OF real beer
speak-easies will take near-beer AMI
put a kick in it by shooting" in
per cent of raw alcohol.
Sure of Success
Andrews is convinced Wadsiell
can stop the flow of beer within four
months and that once it is removed
from the market it will never re-
turn.
Waddell started his drive by go
ing to Pennsylvania to investigate
the beer situation in that State. A
large percentage of the beer dis
tributed in the East is made in the
Keystone State, he believes.

The defense will attempt to show

Before she received a divorce from
Bridgewater, she wrote Nicolas

John Buchanan, called the cry

removed to city prison from city

The young slayer told a new story
Of The shooting Of the officer July 8

arrest the youth after an alleged at
tempt to steal an auto.
Alber had pulled a revolver from
a package he was carrying. fired
between two other officers who first
arrested him and fled. He later was
shot by officers who captured him.
Gives Version
In a weak condition, as result Of
wounds in the back and leg, Alger
today gave this version of the kill

while hiding in the closet heard
someone coming down the hall In

fired two shots, which startled me.
The door caught on a rug or some
thing and l could not get out so
returned the fire.
II had started to pawn the gun
which was won in a card game. The
reason l ran was that l attended

my name to apear in the papers
after being arrested"

Expressing sorrow over the
tragedy, Alger broke into tears when
asked if his parents were still stand
