hood of any district chairman being
advanced to the Craftsmanship be-
cause number of Them, it was
understood, had the impression that
Senator James E. Watson favored
them for the post.
To find way out of an embarras-

to have insisted upon election OF
someone outside the committee while
comforting with party leaders and
district chairman here the past
weekend.
Lawrence W. Cartwright, Eighth

not to accept it temporarily.

parture for Washington, Tuesday,

B0 Times Special
DELPHI, Ind, Jan. Lloyd Kim
BILE rests today after telling the story
which he hopes will save him from
death in the electric chair for the
murder Of Daniel Sink last August.
The 50-year-old defendant, father
OF six children, completed testi-
mony in his own behalf in Carroll
Circuit Court here Friday and Mon
day will undergo cross examination
by the prosecution.
Mrs. Jeanette Taylor, "a, farm

BILE threatened her with violence If
she told anything about Sinks
death, was merely warned by Kimble
not to tell abut his whisky selling
operations, he declared. He said he
had told her to keep still about the
whisky, or he would inform officers
that Daniel Sink told him Mrs. Tay-
lor stole $14 and ring from Sink
home.
According to Kimble, the last time
he saw Sink alive was a week before
the fire which destroyed Sinks
home, from the ruins of which a
body the State declares Sinks was
taken.
The accused man denied that Mrs
Taylor ever rode in his car, that he
ever told her where he could get
some easy money, or asked her to
run away with him.
Asked directly if he had killed
Sink, Kimble replied firmly and
clearly, Il did not"

But, if you happen to know the
right man, you can visit a moon

won't ever want another drink of

INDIANA MINERS NEED
FOOD AND CLOTHING
Bicknen District Hardest Hit;
Appeal for Relief

Sixteen thousand Indiana coal
miners have appealed for food and
clothing to local labor organizations,
Indianapolis Church Federation, and
Mayor L. Ert Slack.
The message for relief was carried
by Dick Wade, Vincennes, and E. H.
McGinnis, financial secretary of the
Bicknell union No. 1929, United Mine
Workers of America.
Suffering is worst in the Bicknell
region but miners all over Indiana
are hard hit, said McGinnis. Miners
have been out of work more than
year. The coal surplus over the
country is keeping the mines closed,
he said.
A committee from the Central
Labor Union, the Church Federation
and other agencies will meet with
McGinnis and Wade Monday to
form plans for relief.
