PARLEY With
REMY ASKED
BY ARMITAGE
Former County Chairman of
G. 0. P. Indicates He's
Ready to Talk.
MAY TOUCH OFF BOMB
Politician Refuses to Turn
Light on information He
Wishes to Give. ~,

William H. Armitage, former Re-
publican county chairman, today
disclosed that he has something he
wants to tell Prosecutor william H.
Remy.
Armitage is the brother of James
E. Armitage, who is under sentence
Of three months in Jail and fine of
$500 for attempting to bribe Claude
Achey, former grand Juror. not to
vote for indictment of Mayor John
l.. Duvall.
William H. Armitage has been be-
fore the grand jury a number OF
times during the political corruption
investigation, but it is understood he
always neatly sidestepped giving any
definite information. Armitage has
been close to the Indianapolis po-
litical situation for years.
Wants to Talk
Today however, it was Afmitaee
himself who took the lead. He went
to the courthouse and waited out
side Renly's Office for the prosecutor
to appear. After waiting a while, he
left word for Remy to telephone him
at his Office.
An hour later, Remy called
Armitage. Arinitage said he has
something he wants TO tell the
prosecutor and arranged to go to
the prosecutors Office to talk with
Remy and Special Prosecutor
Emsley w. Johnson this afternoon.
Before the trial of his brother
James, William H. Armitage was
very friendly with Mayor Duval
and Others Of the present city ad-
ministration. His friends declared
at that time that he had dreams
Of regaining the prestige at city hall
he lost when the Shank admirustra-
ton went out Of power.
Bitter Toward Mayor
Since his brother was embroiled
in the trouble growing out Of the
alleged effort to aid Mayor Duvall,
William Fl. has been bitter toward
the Duvall administration and upon
several occasions has given indica-
ton of a desire to unburden him
self.
Ariuitage would not discuss what
he intended to lay before the prose-
cutors.
Deputy Prosecutor William H.
Sheaffer indicated that Armitage
would not be taken before the prcs-
ent grand jury at this time. He re-
iterated the statement of last week
that the jury has so much routine
business to transact that 1t will not
delve into political corruption until
September, after the months vaca-
ton in August.
Will Return Indictments
The grand jury is expected to re-
turn about half dozen murder and
other indictments in routine cases
this week.
Sheaffer talked " telephone with
a witness in the political corruption
matter who the prosecutors have
been trying to reach for three days.
After the conversation Sheaffer re-
fused to tell who the man was. He
said the man would not be called In.
Il can't permit the names OF wit
nesses to be published before they
appear" Prosecutor Remy said.
During the investigation last
fall this occurred and the
witnesses were talked to before they
came TO the grand jury rooms"

Freedom of the city manager COM

He ruled that Ira M. Holmes, Re

ager law.
This leaves William H. Insley and
Fred Connell, bipartisan election
commissioners, appointed for the
referendum vote on the new form
of government June 21, in office for
the coming election.
Judge Dunlavy's ruling was given
when he denied an intervening
petition filed by Attorney Thomas
G. Whallon for the city commits
sioners in an injunction suit brought
by Edward l., Snyder, a taxpayer,
against the commissioners to pre-
vent holding the election Nov. 8, of
this year.

Holmes and Baker averred they

Los ANGELES, Sept. 90 Pre-
convention meetings of departments
of the American Federation of Labor
are under way here. They take place
at the moment when the Federal
government has by two court deci-
sions, in the Stone Cutters case in
New York and the Pittsburgh Terlni-
nal Coal Co. injunction case in Pitts
burgh, practically outlawed strikes,
but in this atmosphere of labor bank
ing, class collaboration and jurisdic-
tional quarrels, little is heard yet of
any measures of defence.
Even the fact that the United Mine
Workers of America, the largest
union in the federation, is fighting
for its very life in lockout now
in its sixth month has not stirred the
prosperous labor leaders of other de-
partments out of their complacency.
Reject Amsterdam.
The Building Trades departmental
convention opened Wednesday, and its
chief action so far has been TO re-
ject affiliation to the International
Federation of Trade Unions (Amster-

Speaking before the building trades
departments session, George Happier
of Dresden, Germany, secretary of
the international Union of Building
Trades, and Richard Coppock of Lon

tives, voiced greetings from their

such an international affiliation would
be urged.
Similar proposals were laid before

BECAUSE PRODUCT SHIPPED ACROSS STATE LINE
Widow, Husband Killed
in iIines, Shoots Judge,
Rejecting Damage Plea

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Sept.
30.-A widow, with four minor
children, shot Justice Tillman D.
Johnson of the United States Dis
trict Court here today because he
had rendered an adverse decision
in her suit for $4,000 against the
Utah Copper Company. The suit
grew out of the death of her hus-
band in the mines.
Justice Johnson, in a local hos
pital, is in serious condition, it
was reported. Shock also enhances
the danger, it was said.
The widow, believed to have
been crazed by the decision, was
seated in the front of the court
room when Justice Johnson as
cended to the bench. She fired
one shot at him which took effect
below the waist.
