NEGRO KNOWS A LOT
BIT REFUSES To TALK

Michigan City. Ind. Feb. 14.--LF)-
Declaring that he would die with lips
sealed James c. Coyner, giant negro
convict serving q prison term for
grave robbery, refused today to dis
close anything concerning the four
human skulls found in "A Royal Oak,
Michigan, house where he formerly
lived.
He previously had admitted that he
had lived in the house and had left
tho skulls in his trunk there, but to-
day adopted defiant attitude when
questioned by Clyde Underwood.
prosecuting attorney for Oakland
county, Michigan. in which Royal Oak
is situated, and George w. Smith,
chief of police of Ferndale. near
Royal Oak.
II will die with my lips sealed" the
convict said when Intercepted in the
Indiana state prison here. / could
tell you lots of things you would like
to know. but I'll die first"
Prosecutor Underwood declared
that if the convict refused to talk he
would send for the trunk Of skulls
and confront him with them in the
prison in an effort to break down his
defiance. The negro, although reti-
cent regarding the Royal Oak affair,
made few statements that interested
the prosecutor.
Could Tell Lot About Murders
IF wanted to-" Coyner said, II
could tell YOU about lot of MUIR
ders and murderers. There are plenty
of them walking around the streets
of Dtroit that you want. but ! won't
talk.
,"Im a defiant fellow, you won't get
anything out Of me. Ten years from
now, when l get out of prison, will be
time enough to talk. But don't want
to get out of -ison. There is no
justice in the world. Id rather be
in the darkest Africa where wouldn't
have to be afraid Of the law all the
time"
The convict denied a story that he
had sister in Chicago and had writ
ten letters to her. He said he had
obtained permission Of the prison au-
thorities to send two special delivery
letters but they were to friends and
not to relatives. He said his mother
was dead.
The negro robbed grave in Ham,
mond. Ind, last October, removing
the skeleton of a woman buried 10
years. At that time he said he only
wanted the skull.

last night was among the reported de-
lays brought to the superintendents

SEEKING SENTIMENT AS
TO COMMUNITY CHEST

To determine the sentiment in Flag
staff as to the organization of COM
munity chest for worthy charity and
necessary character building work,
the Chamber of Commerce board of
directors have sent letters to all
members asking that they cast their
vote either for or against the PROPOSE
tion.
Oyer period of the past five years
it has been found that quite a large
sum of money has gone out of Flag
staff for this sort of work, much of
this money going to unworthy causes
and duplicating effort. However,
there are many worthy agencies com.
ing to Flagstaff for help every year,
organizations that represent a fine
type of social and character. building
work
1t has been the experience in cities
where there is no chest that it costs
far more to finance these agencies by
individual campaigns than by one cam
paign, once a year, for all. In Tacoma,
where the community chest has been
functioning for five years, it was
found that where each organization
raised its own funds by a separate
campaign it cost Is per cent to raise
the amount while under the commun-
ity chest plan it only cost 6 per cent.
1t is not the plan in Flagstaff, at
least for the first year or two, to
maintain such an elaborate organiza-
ton, rather to just include in the gen
eral fund the combined budgets of all
allowed agencies and certain amount
over as contingency fund for gemer-
gency relief, and a small amount to
cover the cost of keeping up the ac-
counts and maintaining the necessary
machinery.
If it appears from the straw vote
being taken through the Chamber that
the members generally are interested,
steps will be taken to form a general
committee. If the vote is against it.
The Coconino sun., 1927-09-09
We live ,vith and for you

the matter will be dropped for the
present.
1t is the opinion of the directors
that Flagstaff is in fine position tc
operate a community chest. Repre-
sentatives of the various agencies II
the state have been asked to withhold
any solicitation in Flagstaff until this
matter is settled.
The advantages of community
chest for Flagstaff are: (I 1t would
consolidate all campaigns for social
service and character building organi-
cations. (2) Instead of many demands
made during the year by both worthy
and unworthy organizations and in
dividuals, the most worthy of these
organizations (this to be determined
by committee composed of repre-
sentatives of all civic organizations)
would be included in the chest. (3)
The campaign for funds would cover
approximately week. Those con-
tributing to the chest could pay month
ly. quarterly, semi-annually or an
nually. az No other campaigns
would be permitted for organizations
Of this type during the year. No con-
tributor to the chest would he obi
gated to give to any other organiza-
tion-local churches excepted except
the chest, nor to any individual ap-
pealing for charity. Flagstaff churches
would be supported in the usual way
by their members and in no way af.
fected by the chest. (5) If nationa.
emergency from flood or earthquake
should occur, the community would not
be asked for contributions as in the
past, as the chest would take care Of
it. Co There is only one exceptions
The tuberculosis seal sale could moi
be included in the chest. These seals
must be sold at Christmas for the US
ual amount % Every organization
included in the chest would furnish {
complete report of all expenditures t.
the committee every month to receive
their pro rata amount from the chest
these reports to be published. (8,
The sum and substance Of the whole
matter is: zone campaign once {
year for all"
