The process of deduction is being
used in an attempt to identify the
four bodies-now lying in a morgue
in Marion. Sheriff Oren Coleman,
the college graduate sheriff, and
Coroner Bell are checking on the
whereabouts of the Birger gangsters
in an attempt to find who is missing
1t is believed two OF the bodies are
those of Steve George. caretaker, and
his wife. Three of those killed are
believed to be Burger aids, while a
fourth is believed to have been one
Of the midnight marauders.
This last belief is gained from a
large spot of blood in front of the
burned roadhouse and indications a
body had been dragged into the burn
ing building.
The four deaths brought the total
of gang murders to thirteen within
the past year.

MARINES MOURN JIGGS
Bull Dog Mascot Will BE Given Mill
tary Burial TODAY
BIZ United Press


WASHINGTON. Jan. 1O.-Ser-
geant Major Jiggs, as hard boiled as
any Marine who ever shouldered q
musket, is dead-the victim Of peace
time luxury. Jiggs, a bulldog, who
enlisted in the Marine corps eight
years ago and had served in many
lands, was the mascot of the corps
with headquarters at Quantico, Va.
Too much beefsteak, and, in general,
dogs life among good friends
proved his undoing. They brought
him to a dog hospital here where
several doctors fought the attack of
gastritis, but Jiggs died no hero's
death. At sunset, however, he will
have a hero's burial. His. body was
taken by airplane this afternoon to
Quantico in a casket drapod with the
Marine emblem. Eight hundred
Marines will take him to his grave
with a rifle salute and taps.

torney, Survives Out of VI
Fifteen.
ONE DEAD MAN IN LIST,
Judge Collins Requests Ex-
Lawyer to Serve.

One more man was added today to
the new Marion County grand Jury,
which will continue the investiga.
ton Of political corruption charges
which was begun by the last grand
jury.
He was John Collett 25 e. Thirty
Third St., retired attorney. Judge
James A. Collins excused twelve
others Of the panel of fifteen. OF
the remaining two drawn for service
Gregg e. Waddell, Route e, Box 179,
has been dead some time; Samuel i.
Jacobs, 2913 z. New York ST., could
not be located, and f. L. Moore,
1906 Pleasant ST., was out of the city
and had not been summoned.
Asked by Judge
Judge Collins especially requested
Collet to serve. Collett said he would
like to serve, and believed he would
be able to, although his heart some
times causes him trouble.
Charles Clark, 2514 Station St, is
the other grand Jury member chosen
so far.
Those excused by Judge Collins
this morning: 4
Herbert Il. Harting, Route J.2; EV
Lewis, 521 w. North St; David Lip.

Loudon, 3S Z. Washington St..
In addition to these, Moore, who
has been out Of the city and not
summoned for service, was excused.
Two others Of those excused were not
in court.
Business" Reason
All but one, who pleaded sickness,
were excused, because they said their
business prevented jury service.
Collins ordered the jury commits
sioners to draw another panel Of fif-
teen for jury service and ordered
Sheriff Omer Hawkins to order the
new list to appear before him Thurs
day at . a. m.
This will be the fourth venire
drawn for jury service.
When the second venire was
drawn, A. w. Antrim, president of
Jessup and Antrim Ice Cream Com
pany, was tentatively selected to
serve. 1t was learned, following this
that Prosecutor William II. Remy
was investigating shift in a
$4,000 city milk contract, after
Antrim was drawn. The contract
was first let to Folks Sanitary Milk
Company, but was shifted to An.
trims firm twenty-four hours after
his name was drawn as a prospect
i've juror.
When Judge Collins requisitioned.
Antrim Thursday the latter said
there was a large building program
at the plant that had to be person
ally supervised by him. On these
grounds he was excused.
Evidence, showing what a previous
grand jury learned after eleven
weeks investigation, is now i'm
pounded IN Judge Collins private
chambers. This is to be turned over
to the new jury, when selected.
