Lloyd KimbIe Faces First
Degree Count at
Delphi.
BY CHARLES C. STONE
Stafa Edikor- Thu Tfnaaa

DELPHI, Ind, Dec. 13.-Lloyd
Kimble, AT, father of six children,
is on trial today for his life in Car
roll Circuit Court here charged with
the fire murder of Daniel Sink, IA
year-old recluse, whose charred body
was found in the ruins of his farm
home near Burrows, Carroll County,
last August. A quarrel following a
drinking party coupled with a de-
sire to rob the old man are declared
by the prosecution to have led up
to the alleged Staying.
Mrs. Jeannetta Taylor, "a, child
less wife OF farm hand, and COM
panion of Kimble in drinking at
Sinks home the night of the TRACE
dy, faces Kimble as accuSer today.
Six weeks ago she was arrested to
explain about a ring in her posses
sion which had belonged to Sink. It
was then she told Carroll County
authorities that Kimble beat the old
man with a buggy spring and then
t1red the house.
Although it is fairly well estab-
lished in the minds Of authorities
that Kimble and Mrs. Taylor were
principals in a love affair, her hus-
band. Jesse Taylor, apparently has
forgiven her. He has visited her
but once since she was placed in
jail here a month and a half ago
as a witness against Kimble, but at
that time both wept and parted with
fervid declarations of love for each
other.
Kimble's lawyers have lost one
round in their fight to save him
from death in the electric chair or
life imprisonment. Their motion
made Monday to obtain a copy Of
the statement Of Mrs. Taylor was
overruled.
A special jury venire of fifty has
been drawn, twenty of them having
been ordered to report today.

TAFT IS SUED
FOR 100000
BY REMUSA|D
Action Against Prosecutor
Grows Out of Indictment
on Perjury Charge.
CALLS LEGAL LIGHTS
Nations Leading Attorneys
to Press Fight, Million
aire Promoter Says.

BIZ United Press
CINCINNATI, Dec. 13.-John s.
Berger, Los Angeles promoter and
boyhood friend of George Remus,
today instituted a damage action
for 100000 against Charles P. Taft
II.
The suit which was filed in the
Hamilton County court of common
pleas grew out of an indictment
charging Berger with perjury re-
Sulting from his testimony on be-
half of Remus, who is on trial &C
cused of wife murder.
The action was divided into two
parts. One alleged that Taft false
ly and maliciouSly and without
reasonable and probable cause pro-
cured Plaintiff John S. Berger to
be indicted by the grand jury for
the crime of perjury" Because
news of the indictment was pub
lished in the press Berger believes
he was injured in his credit and
reputation to the extent of
$250,0O0
Summons Legal Lights
The second part alleged that Taft
intending it should be published in
the newspapers informed certain
news gathering representatives, Ber-
ger was convicted of a felony in
Minnesota"
Berger filed the suit on his own
behalf, but he visited the pressroom
and announced he would summon
six Of the outstanding legal lights
of the country to fight the case for
him.
When informed Of the suit Taft
smiled.
II am going to be very busy in
the conduct OF this CASE" he said,
land in the meantime don't intend
to be bothered by flea bites"
The State still was undecided To-
day whether to call Franklin L.
Dodge, Jr., former Department of
Justice investigator, as a rebuttal
witness. Dodge once was named as
a correspondent by Remus, and was
accused of conspiring with Mrs. Re-
mus to rob her husband of the
fortune built in bootlegging.
Although Dodge could add little
but denialS to the records Of the
trial the State is inclined to feel
that his testimony would have a
certain psychological effect upon the
jury, especially since Remus did not
testify in his own behalf.
If Dodge is not summoned, the
major rebuttal witnesses will be
Miss Ruth RemuS, 20-year-old
daughter of the slain woman, and
Harry F. Bown, Of Ford, Ont, the
slain woman's brother.

MINE FARLEY OPEN
DESPITE OPERATORS
Davis Says Public Opinion
Can Force Owners to
Early Peace.
BY LEE GEBHART
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Secre-
tary of Labor Davis opened with
warning today his conference de-
signed to create peace in the btu
minous coal fields "by Christmas"
He told miners and operators that
IF public opinion is aroused, the
Government can compel action to-
ward a settlement, however dis
tasteful it may be to the arteries i'm
mediately affected"
The United Mine Workers, under
President John L. Lewis had full
representation from northern West
Virginia, central and western Penn
sylvania and Ohio.
Operators Attend
Among operators at the meeting
were John H. Jones of the Bertha
Consumers Company, Pennsylvania,
and Harold Hughes Of the w. H.
Hughes Company, Altoona, Pa.
On opening the conference, Davis
said:
IT regret some operators have
found it necessary to decline the in
vitation to discuss matters of i'm
portance at this meeting They tell
me there are no difficulties exist
ing in their operation and that ev-
erything is satisfactory in their
business.
while I do not question the hon.
esty Of their statements, and have
no reason to dispute their claims, I
must record the fact that repre-
sentatives of the mine workers do
register contrary statements. I do
not intend to be drawn into argu-
ment with either side. I represent
the interests Of the American peo-
pie as a whole"
Investigation Hinted
with such dominant coal operators
as the Pittsburgh Coal Company,
the Pittsburgh Terminal Company,
and the Ohio Coal Operators AS
scciation rejecting Davis call, the
conference had seemed to face fail
ure, for without a representative
group from the side the depart
ment'S efforts to conciliate probably
would have been futile.
There have been reports from
