BRYSON CONFIRMED
Updike Loses Long Fight on
Postmaster.

The long fight of Congressman
Ralph E. Updike to prevent the re-
appointment of Postmaster Robert
H. Bryson of Indianapolis came to
naught today.
A Washington dispatch announced
that the United States Senate final
ly has confirmed Bryson's reappoint-
ment by President Coolidge.
The nomination by the President
has been before the Senate in two
previous sessions, but Updike, insist
ing that he had the right to name
a postmaster, managed to block its
confirmation.
Updike's fight resulted only in
prolonging Bryson's term two years.
The appointment for four years is
effective from today. He has been
serving under his old commission,
no successor having been named.

Gates to AcquittaI of Ex.
Bootleg King Are Closed
by Judge.
BY PAUL w. WHITE
United Press stan Correspondent

COURT ROOM. CINCINNATI,
Oec. 20.-The case for and against
George Remus, who for more than
five weeks has been on trial charged
with the murder of his wife, was
given to the jury at 12:49 p. m. to-
day.
The gates to freedom for Remus
by an absolute verdict of not guilty
were closed by Judge Chester R.
Shook, who announced just before
he charged the jury that he had
ruled against such a finding.
The only verdict favorable to Re-
mus, who has been on trial more
than five weeks on charge Of wife
murder, is that of mot guilty on
the sole ground Of insanity"
Such q verdict would mean trans
fer Of Remus before the probate
court, where the former bootleg
multimillionaire would have to es-
tablish that he now is sane before
he could hope to be a free man.
Judge Issues Ruling
After reviewing the arguments
put forward by both State and de-
Tense, Judge Shook ruled:
''The court feels that in view of
the State of the record there can
be absolutely no claim in reason
logic or law successfully advanced
in denial of an unlawful killing. The
court. upon careful consideration, is
brought to the inevitable conclusion
that the defendant is entitled to q
verdict Of not guilty solely on the
ground of insanity.
1.-The court feels that the defend
ant has advanced legal defense
and has presented evidence in sup
port of 1t. The court feels that he
Is not usurping any function Of the
jury, nor that he is refusing any
constitutional right accorded the de-
fendant whether by the national or
State constitutions"
Five VerdictS Possible
Under the judges charge five
verdictS are possible. They are:
Guilty of murder, first degree, car
rying a sentence Of death in the
| electric chair.
Guilty Of murder, first degree, with
recommendation of mercy, carrying
a sentence Of life imprisonment with
out hope Of pardon.
Guilty Of murder, second degree,
carrying sentence Of life imprison-
ment with eligibility of parole begin
ming after the tenth year.
Guilty Of manslaughter, carrying 0
sentence of from one to twenty years
of Imprisonment.
Not guilty on the sole ground OF
insanity.

SHOUTS OF LYNCH HIM
RiOting Climax of Unrest
During Day in Search

BH United Press
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 90
Rioting broke out at detective
headquarters here today when
a man strongly resembling Ed
ward Hickman, sought as the
slayer Of Marion Parker, was
taken into central police sta
ton for investigation.
A milling and frenzied
crowd rushed the doors of the
police station as the suspect was
taken in. There were shouts of
"Lynch him" +" and it was with
difficulty that police reserves
held the mob at bay.
Detectives announced a few
minutes later that the man was
hot Hickman, though his resem-
blance to the hunted slayer
suspect was remarkable.
The suspect established his identi-
ty as Albert Landerberg, IS, and
quickly proved that he was inno-
cent of any connection with the
crime. He was released at once.
Police used drawn revolverS to
keep the crowd back from the hand
cuffed man as he was led into head
quarters while a squad formed a
wedge and drove a way through
the throng.
University Student Held
The rioting at the Jail broke out
few minutes after police had ar
rested Milton Jackowsky, university
student, as material witness in the
Parker murder.
The student formerly lived near
the Parker home, and 1t was believed
he might have given information to
'The Fox" regarding the family.
The incident at the jail was typi-
cal of the actions of overwrought
Los Angeles today.
From announcement early this
morning of the identification of
Hickman, the convicted forger vino
was paroled over the protest Of Per-
ry Parker, father of the girl, his cm-
ployer, the city had been over
wrought.
Even last night, a threatening
crowd gathered at a suburban jail
where suspect was reported held.
Crowd Is UnrIlIy
From dawn today, armed police
paced outside the jail to prevent
trouble.
The crowd grew unruly, however,
when Landerberg was taken inside.
The incident led police to con-
slider still greater precautions if
Hickman himself were arrested here.
Detectives said, following Jackow-
Sky's arrest that he had been seen
lettering in the vicinity of the Par
ker home for several days before
CIlS JIdBeuy.
Reports that Hickman had been
arrested circulated throughout the
morning, but except for the short
time when they thought they might
have him in custody, police met all
such reports with fiat denials.
No attempt had been made, so
far as was known, to carry out
"The Foxs" threat to kidnap Mar
jorie Parker, twin sister of Marion.
The Parker home still was guarded,
however.
A towel gave police the first clew
to 1.-THE Fox"
Records in the Identification bu-
reau revealed that a single thumb
print in blood found on the towel
was similar to Hickman's.
Later Hickman's f1ngerprints were
found to be identical with those on
the automobile used by '@The Fox,
when he returned Marion's body to
her father.
