st. Paul Officers
Still Hunt Slayers

St. Paul, April 90 (AP) =
Turning definitely to the theory
that revenge in liquor gan war was
responsible for the killings, police
today sought some trace of the
slayers Of woman and two men
in an apartment here early Sun
day.
The revenge theory gained cred
ence when it was learned that Will.
liam McManus, one of the victims.
told a friend shortly before he
was killed that he had had run
in" with a gang Of beer runners
and that the gang was out to get
him.
Police believe that the other two
victims, Josephine Burnell, Me-
Manus' sweetheart. and Lester w.
Wyman, alias "Porky" Flynn,
were slain because they were wit
ncsses to the killing Of McManus
No trace Of the slayers was APP
parent today.

Grain company vs.. the United States
Fidelity and Guaranty company OF
Baltimore, appealed from the Nc
Intosh county district court by the
defendant.
The grain company sought TO col
lect $4,000 on the bond of George
W. Freund, its grain buyer, follow
ing a fire at its property. They
contended that when the elevator
burned it did not contain as much
grain as it should have and that
settlement Of the fire insurance
claim was made on that basis. Ex-
pert witnesses testified concerning
the books and records of the com.
pany to prove that more grain should
have been in the elevator when it
burned, and the plaintiff was given
a verdict for $4,000. The supreme
court affirmed the verdict, holding
that unless the testimony Of the ex.
pert witness was impeached the trial
court had a right to give it due
in deciding the case.

Concord, N. H., April 26.--tA9--
Smoothing the path Of life for the
waif whose childhood is beset with
handicaps is more than hobby with
Governor Huntlcy N. Spauldinv Of
New Hampshire. Even his office
requirements must wait while he
gives his attention to the orphan, the
destitute child or the youngstcr
whose parents are divorced.
Governor Spaulding takes time
from his large business and political
interests to administer the affairs of
the New Hampshire Childrcn's Aid
and Protective Society, of which he
is president, and to which he con-
tributes generous support. Other
young. peoples philanthropies find
him warmly responsive.
