PERFECT
SUICIDE
SOLVED
Microscope Reveals Faint
Tracing of Name on Bill
fold CeIIuI0id.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
BOSTON. May "A powerful
microscope spoiled what was to have
been a perfect suicide" and. in
cidentally. located in death a
Brooklyn physician who had been
missing twenty years.
The body Of man, found Friday
in an inner stateroom of the steam
ship New York on the boats arrival
here from New York, was believed
today to be that Of DR.. Bertram /.
Diamond, who disappeared from his
Brooklyn home two decades ago.
Murder Early Theory
Identification was established
after the death had been Investigated
as a possible case of murder. In
dications Of foul play had been seen
in the amazing precautions which
DR.. Darmond had taken to prevent
authorities from learning his
identity.
Solution of the mystery was
possible through piecing together
by Medical Examiner William j.
Brickley of stray bits Of evidence
which had possibly been clouded.
Virtually everything in Diamond s
stateroom which might lead 10
identification had been destroyed.
There were no Identification cards
in the dead mans bill-fold; no letters
in his pockets. All labels had been
freshly clipped from his clothing
all but one. 1t showed the dead
mans cravat had been purchased at
a Brooklyn harberdashery.
Faint Clew Developed
Although all cards had been re.
moved from the billfo;d, the celluloid
covering Of the card compartment
bore the faint imprint of card. Or,
Brickley examined it with a power
full microscope and detected the
name "Darmond" and an incomplete
Brooklyn address.
Concealed in the upper bunk. Of
DR.. Diamonds stateroom had been
found a hypodermic needle and
drugs, and the medical examiner had
established narcotic poisoning as the
cause of death. DR.. Brickley rea-
soned that. because of the method
employed in the suicide, the victim
probably was one skilled in medicine.
The examiner consulted the New
York medical directory. Later, a
telephone call to 1882 E. Second St,
Brooklyn. reached a sister of the
dead man. and identification estab-
lished.

INDIANA FEDERAL
TAXPAYMENTS|N
1927 SHOW LOSS
However, LevieS on In
comes IncreaSe-De-
cline in General Items.
Times WASHINGTON Bureau.
1922 NeD York Arenue

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Indi-
ana has paid nearly 100000 less
so far during the fiscal year of
1927 in Federal taxes than she
paid during the corresponding pc
riod of 1926, the treasury an
nounced today.
For the first nine months of the
current year, ending March 81, the
total payment was $27,24S.57S. For
the nine corresponding months of
last year the total was 29,942,26
More Income Tax
Indiana payments of income tax,
however, were greatly increased,
while miscellaneous Federal taxes
were more than slashed in half. In
come tax payments so far for 1927
have totaled $21,542,137. against
payments for the same period of
1925 Of s17,944,277
Miscellaneous payments in 1926,
however, totaled $11,997,9SS, while
in 1927 they totaled only $5,706,4 4O.
The reason for the decrease is the
cut made by the 1926 tax laws in
taxes on autos, theater admissions
and other nuisance" taxes.
Income tax cuts in the 1926 law
went into effect as soon as the law
was passed, however, so that they
affected the big payments OF year
ago last March. For this reason
the bulk of the 1927 payments have
been made at the same rate as the
bulk of those Of 1926, except that
the corporation tax was increased
last July l.
Exceeds National Gain
The increase in Indiana's income
taxes was proportionately greater
than that for the country. which
was from 81 .03S,S17 to $1.647,-
256,S95, and the Indiana decrease
in miscellaneous taxes also was pro-
portionately GREATER than the ma
tional decrease, which was from
1892, 833,S63 to $3.50, S00.969. The
national Federal tax collections from
all sources, therefore, lose from
$2,112, S7O,1SO to $2,12S,O57,S64.
Indana's income tax collections
for March was $6,777,627, against
collection of $e,19o,6S6 a year ago.

Asked About Bill
81 met Achey on Indiana Ave.
i'm front of Art Durr's place and
said;
do you think that my brother
Bill will be called before the
grand jury?"
The witness insisted that this was
the only time he had ever talked to
Achey about any grand jury action
and that that conversation was in
the presence of DUR, Joey Jacobs
and several 'colored men.
Armitage was still on the stand
when court resumed this afternoon.
Mother Is Witness

Emsley w. Johnson sought to
get into the record testimony that
Achey had called William II. Sheaf-
fer. deputy prosecutor. between the
time of Armitage's call and his COM
ing to the house.
Inman's objections were sustained
by the court.
Characterization by Inman failed
to break down any of the direct
testimony. The witness said that her
son was in the car five or six min
utes. She knew because, IT was
watching the clock along with my
dinner preparations"
Thomas Hupp, so, of 12S w.
Market ST., a park board employee,
was recalled as the first witness
this morning.
1nman, attorney for Armi-
tage, brought out in cross.examina-
ton that Hupp was sent to the
hospital for the criminal insane at
Michigan City, Jan. 10. 1925.
Judge James A. Collins stated that
Hupp had been released when Dr.
p. w. Weeks. in charge at the hos
pital. certified he had been restored
mentally.
Hupp, almost deaf and blind, tes-
titled Saturday. the first witness to
corroborate testimony Of Achey that
the grand juror and Armitage met
in Military Park about April 6.
Makes Himself Known
Hupp told the court he saw Armi-
tage in the park with Achey. He
said he did not Immediately recog-
nize Armitage. but that the politi-
clan came to him, shook hands and
said: Don't you remember me? I'm
Vim Armitage."
