Today there we're rumors that
police sought to find Manual
Trejo, the man who is supposed
to have furnished Toral with the
pistol used in the assassination.
There was no police announcement
on this, but for several lys it has
been rumored through the capital
that Trejo's name had been linked
with~the affair.
Tcejo is said to be missing from

IN STIFLING DUNGEON
FOR "a HOURS; OPEN PROBE
State to Quiz Negro Deputy
for Action Over County
Jail Prank.

Eight youths under % were kept
in a dark, poorly-ventilated dungeon
at the county Jail almost twenty
four hours ending today, for a boy
ish prank at the mess table, it was
revealed in Criminal Court today.
Investigation of this type of dis
cipltne and particularly the instance
revealed today was started immedi-
ately by John A. Brown, secretary
of the Board of State Charities.
The punishment fol the upsetting
of a bench at the mess table as
the prisoners rose to file out of the
room, was meted out by Sam Parker,
Negro deputy sheriff, in charge of
this end of the mess hall.
Heat Intense in Dungeon
without beds, chairs or other
furniture, the eight youths we're
kept In the hole" from early
Wednesday morning until today,
Lyle Conover, 16, of 1902 Ashland
Ave-, said when arraigned before
Criminal Judge James A. Collins for
vehicle taking.
The boy told how the youths
tried to sleep on the iron floor, of
intense heat due to poor ventila-
ton, and of cockroaches climbing
over them.
They got no water while being
punished for the mess table trick,
except at meal times, Conover said.
Conover pleaded guilty to vehicle
taking, and was released to Pro-
baton Officer Linn Tripp to go
home and clean up. The case was
to be disposed of later today.
Ventilation Is Bad
II do not think much of this type
of discipline" Judge Collins said.
"Those boys are more trouble
than any other kind of prisoners"
Parker, a seventh ward politician
and power in his race, said. "They
always are playing pranks at the
table"
Parker has been a deputy sheriff
under Omer Hawkins throughout
Hawkins term of Office.
"I don't know anything about
anyone being put in the hole
Hawkins said.
"The hole" is ventilated by enc
small opening, which Conover de-
scribed by placing his thumbs and
fore fingers together in a circle.
The room is described as about eight
feet wide and a little longer.
Mother Denied Visit
Conover was charged jointly with
Raymond Wilcox, 1882 College Ave,
with the theft of the automobile,
July Is, of Abe Steinkeler. 1861 Yam
des st.
He spent eight days in Jail, un-
able to make bond. Wilcox was out
on bond.
Young Conover had been in
Juvenile court for shooting an air
rifle, he said, but had never been
in Jail before. His story of the
punishment came to light when
asked whether his mother visited
him in Jail.

The Senator told Donovan he was
sorry to say that Statements have
been banded about to the effect
that the grand jury is packed and
that Mr.. Loomis District Attorney

Watson said he did not believe
a "single syllable" of such state

the innocent may be vindicated and
that the guilty. if any, be made to

Tunney and Heeney will
weigh in at Yankee Stadium
instead of at Madison Square
Garden, as originally planned.
There is chance that Demp-
sey may apply for his license
at the weighing-in ceremonies.
Great Trip, Says Tunney
ut was great trip" Tunney said,
"and I am more than glad that I
came by air"
Among those who were at the
pier to meet the champion were
Tom Tunney, New York detective
and brother of the champion.
A light rain shortly after noon
failed to dampen the prediction of
the weather bureau for tonight's
bout.
"That is only a summers after
noon cloud" the bureau said, "and
will pas saway, making a path for
clear weather for the fight"
The lines outside the four box
offices at Madison Square garden
began to lengthen when the sun
came out after the shower, and 1t
began to look as though Rickard
might sell enough seats to take in a
total of 100000 and break even on
the fight.
Hotel lobbies were crowded with
visitors from out Of town and British
accents were mingling with those
of the South and the West.
Tunney Is FavOrite
Lacking the tremendous appeal Of
the two Tunney-D Dempsey bouts, the
heavyweight championship match Of
1928 may fall short of million-dol-
lar gate, but it promises to provide
as much drama as either Of the two
previous title bouts to upward Of
$4,000 persons tonight.
Both men should be on their feet
at the end of fifteen rounds of hard
fighting, with the margin Of victory
so close as to leave doubt in the
minds of many as to the real win
ner.
A 3-to-1 favorite in most betting
circles, Tunney really is no better
than 7-to-5 shot to retain the title.
Relying on his ringcraft, Tunney
should win with room to spare, but
the champion has no intentions OF
entering the ring merely to win the
decision.
Wants to Win by KayO
Nothing less than knockout VIC
tory will satisfy the champion. Tom
Heeney never has been knocked out
and there is nothing on which to
base the opinion that he will crum-
BILE before the fists of Gene Tunney,
1t seems unreasonable to suppose
that man who has fought only
twice in thirty months is capable
of stopping a man who has fought
nine times in the last twelve months,
withstanding the battering of Pao-
limo, Risko, Delaney and Sharkey
during that period.
If Tunney carries through his
plan to knock out Heeney, he is apt
to find himself so arm-weary after
ten rounds of hammering on the
hard rock" mauler that Heeney
will stand a splendid chance of
winning the fight in the last five
rounds.
Pins Hope on Right
Tunney is pinning his hope for
knockout on his right fist. The
champion believes that the most
devastating blow in boxing is
straight right to the heart, and he
will attempt to prove his theory
tonight.
The champions most intimate
friends and associates have been un-
able to convine him that he may be
making terrible mistake by at
tempting to knock out Heeney.
1t does not seem logical for a fine.
defensive fighter like Gene Tunney
to throw all of his science overheard
and attempt to win an important
fight in new and unorthodox way.
