from the chief executive which was
made public by the Massachusetts
Republican state committee.
It also praised Governor Alvan

and John w. O'Leary, president of

Worldwide advertising of American
farm products was recommended as a
means to agricultural relief by Mr.

his desire to see his mother led

of the law.
Last night he was lodged in

trio indicted, for the murder TO be
taken into custody. The other two,
Ben Rudner of Massillon and Louis
Mazer of Canton, are awaiting
trial. Mazer goes on trial Novem-
Der 8, and Rudner December 6.
McDermott was taken into custody
yeste erday ut Twin Rock, Pa, by
Ora Slater, Cincinnati detective,
and p. b. McClintock, Stark county
prosecutor. He was captured In .
trap laid by his brothers, Tom and
Bernard, who long ago promised
Slater and McCfntock they would
try to locate him so he could tell
his story, whatever it might be.
Three Courses Open.
One of the three developments Is
now expected:
Pat will confess he is guilty Of q
part in the murder; the indictment
against him will be noiled and he
| will turn states evidences; or he
will play another waiting game
! refusing to talk and defying the
state to show its evidence in open
court.
Told that McDcrmott has been ta
ken into custody, Rudner smiled
and said:

be out Of here tomorrow"

He was fired upon from ambusl

According TO the prosecution
theory, Mazer, Rudner and possibl
others, incensed at Mellett's cam
paign against the underworld 0
which they were alleged rulers, plot
ted the murder, employing McDer
mott as an aide.
McDermott was first drawn int
