FATE ROBS COP
IN KNAAK CASE
OF movie JOB
'HitChy' MournS PubIicity'S
Puff That Comes Too
Late.
BY JACK HERTZ

united Press stan Correspondent
LAKE BLUFF, ILL.,, Nov. 13.-Fate
has robbed Charles w. Hitchcock,
prominent figure in the furnace
girl" mystery, Of the desserts of pub
Lefty.
Hitchcock, Lake Bluff night police
man and former motion picture &C
tor of the days when an announcer
explained the film, is at on his back
with a broken leg, reading offers
from Broadway and Hollywood with
a sigh.
II believe I have a good voice for
the 'talkies,' but I don't suppose I'll
be able to take advantage of all
this priceless publicity" he said to-
day to the United Press.
"If had got this puff when
was in the movies, I'd have my
name in lights all over the country"
he sighed as he gazed at the plaster
cast on his leg.
Criticises Probe
He was hurt in fall a week be-
fore Miss Elfrieda Knaak, 30-year-
old book agent, was found burned
in the basement of the Lake Bluff
police station.
Hitchcock criticised the handling
of the investigation.
"The official investigation was a
farce" he said. why in heavens
name did they wait until Miss
Knaak was dying before I was al
lowed to visit her? I might have
been able to solve the whole case
if they would have let me see her.
She would have talked to me sooner
than some of the others.
But I'm not finished with the
case. AS soon as am able I'll be
out on it, and. believe me, I'll do
everything I can to find out who
burned Fritzie.'"
''Fritzie" was the nickname
Hitchcock called Miss Knaak. She
called him "Hitehy" and that was
the first word she mentiond after
being taken to the hospital. She
professed a great spiritual love"
for him, but he said he knew moth
ing of it.
I'VE were just friends" he said.
"She used to come to the station
and tell me how we'll she was
getting along with her book selling.
You know I taught her sales
psychology" he said, with touch
of pride.
Hitchcock still holds his job as
night policeman, but it appeared
he will lose it shortly.
To Pension Police Chief
"I expect they'll fire me when I
go back in two week." he said.
And Hitchcock isn't the only per-
son in this village who will be af-
fected by the mysterious fire or
deal"
To Barney Rosenhagen, Cougar
old chief Of police, the case prob
ably means retirement on a pension.
To Eugene Spaid, the day police
man, it probably means promotion
to Rosenhagen's job.
To Lake Bluff, it means increased
business and seeing its name appear
in the nations headlines for a few
days.
Rosenhagen profeSsed not to
know anything about move to re-
tire him
He said today he was glad the
case was over but added, Some
thing else will turn up"
Spaid predicted today, that there
would be an arrest in the case in a
week.
I'm out every night on the case
and before another week passes
there ought to be plenty Of popping
around here"
He refused to go into detail con-
corning his statement.

the seventh story Of the old Southern
Railway Building. 119 d street north
east, yesterday afternoon, then lose his
nerve in an apparent attempt to COM
NIT suicide, only to plunge to his death

lost his grip, remained unknown today
In his pocket was found a note .indi-
eating his intention to kill himself, but
giving no inkling. of his reasons. The
note was addressed to Police Authori-

II promised men in Chicago I would
destroy myself I toldOthe truth in
those letters. You can dispose of my
body as you see fit. A. M. HENEY."
An inquest is to be held today into
the death and police headquarters are

persons nearby, but they were unable
to reach him before he fell. His body
was taken to the morgue without the
usual formality Of being viewed by the
coroner.
Before climbing from the window
Heney had removed his collar, sock

evidently been using it as a place tc
sleep. In the room we're also found q
womans handkerchief, a few toilet arti-
cles and an evangelistic pamphlet.

thing is noticeable, however: the anti
Smith Democrats do not appear to be
so we'll or so powerfully organized as
they are in the other two States mem
toned. But here. as in the other
Southern States, the religious issue
raises its head.
It is true that Tennessee is more
evenly divided between the Republicans
and the Democrats. 1t has had Repub-
lican governors and has elected Repub-
lican Senators in the more recent past.
But these Republican victories have
taken place when there were rows
among the Democrats, for the State is
more strongly Democratic than Repub-
lican. The Republicans are counting on
a division in the Democratic ranks again
| this year, division for and against
Gov. Smith. AS already pointed out,
! Harding carried the State in 1920, and
i Coolidge lost it only by $4,000 votes. A
split in the Democratic ranks it appears
does not have to be so deep as we'll
or so wide as barn door to suffice for
Republican victory.
Democrats insist there will be defec-
tions from the Republican ticket, indeed,
they say that the Republican voters

the Hoover ticket They look for these
OBJECTIONS from the Republican cause
because of the liberal stand that Gov.
Smith has taken on the liquor question.
Tennessee is dry State politically. but
1t has its vets and Republicans are
among them. Some of them are here
In the Republican mountain country, no
stranger to "moonShine" whisky.
Tennessee has today two Democratic
Senators, eight Democratic members of
the House and Democratic governor.
The Republicans have only two mem
oers OF the House. This does not aug1Ir
well for the Republicans. The Demo-
Gratis expect to elect their State ticket
and to re-elect Senator Mcclellan and
indeed, the Republicans have little or
no hope of preventing this. Only a
great Hoover landslide In the State
could prevent this. The Republicans
are working for their State ticket. But
they are hoping to put through the
national ticket. In some quarters it is
said that their failure to work harder
Tor the State ticket may to some ex-
tent be helpful to the national ticket,
since great drive for the State ticket
might send Democrats now ready to
vote for Hoover scurrying back into
the Democratic fold.

APPEAL TO WOMEN
VOICED BY BISHOP
Right Rev. J. E. Freeman
Tells Daughters of King
They Have Big Duty.

A plea for the preservation of the
finer gifts with which women are en-
dowed" was sounded by the Right Rev.
James E. Freeman. Bishop Of Wash
ington, in an address today to the
Daughters of the King. meeting in the
Church of the Epiphany.
Several hundred delegates from
widely separated sections of the coun-
try have come here to attend the ses-
sions of the Daughters, whose meet
ings precede those of the forthcoming
general convention of the Episcopal
church. The convention opened yes
terday and will continue through Tues
day.
Bishop Freeman said that. while there
are many admirable women in public
life today, the essential duty of the sex
lies in the preservation Of the standards
of the home.
Has Fears for Home.
81 am not worried over the security Of
the industrial side of our Republic" he
said. but am much concerned for the
safety of our domestic and social life.
The character-making power of our Ma
ton resides in its women and too much
exercise of your newly acquired priv
ilege can only result in a weakening of
that moral fiber, which is the backbone
of any nation"
Bishop Freeman said he thinks the
convention has come to Washington
at a peculiarly appropriate time be-
cause it emphasizes the spiritual rather
than the material side of life I'm the
midst of political campaign fraught
with bigotry and intolerance and. I am
convinced. with grave perils, this con-
vention brings to our attention mat
TOW fhoT
issue-the fundamental necessity of
spiritual side to the life of man." he
declared.
Sees Duty for Women.
If an atmosphere Of religion is to be
restored to the home. he said. it must
be done by the women. This can be
done, the delegates we're told by re-
vival of the wholesome family life In
which the wife and mother must take
the leading role.
The presiding bishop of the church,
Bishop Murray, last night addressed
the opening session of the Daughters
of the King at meeting in the Church
of the Epiphany.
Bishop Murray especially stressed the
Nationwide evangelistic campaign
which will be inaugurated at the church
convention Wednesday.
MrS. "A. "A. BHney, nduOndl pTeSl-
dent of the Daughters of the King,

sponded to the address of welcome by
Miss Lillian Janet Soper, president of
the diocese Of Washington. A report

Espinosa and Diegel both started i'm
preSSively halving the first hole in par
As. Just off the green with their
brassie seconds they Clipped close and
needed only one putt each, Diegel be-
ing 4 feet and AIS 3.
Espinosa took the lead, l up, at the
second, when Diegel conceded the hole
after wasting two strokes in trap
short Of the green. AL was on in 2
with an iron $50 yards to the green out
of rough.
Espinosa missed a rare opportunity
to add the third hole, failing to sink
a three-foot putt and taking a half in
S, over par.
Both made the short fourth in par
3. Leo's 10-foot putt for a birdie 2
Tipped the cup.
The fifth hole brought another half
this time in SIS, I over par. Their chips
were inaccurate and each needed two
puts.
On the long dog-leg sixth, Leo hooked
MS praSsie second into a trap, taking
4 to reach the green. It cost him the
hole, AL winning 1t with a par 5 and
going 2 up. Leo called for a new
ball as his was cut, but this could not
enable him to hole his 15-footer for
a half.
Leo got a hole back with a birdie 3
at the seventh and was l down. AL
missed a 4-foot putt that would have
given him a half.
A perfect drive and approach cap
ped by 4-foot putt gave Diegel his
second straight birdie 3 at the eighth.

hole they were on even terms. AL took
a par 4.
They both Tipped the cup from 20

started the second nine still even.
The water hazard tenth was halved

forged ahead for the first time in the

appeared to affect Espinosa the more.
The twelfth was an even break, again

racket whereby, for so cents "shot. u
morphine, obtained in exchange for bills
counterfeited within the walls, was ad-
ministered to convicts at the Tennessee
State Prison was revealed last night
with the capture of Walter c. Fry. CT
villain foreman of the prison foundry.
The source of the counterfeit money
was revealed yesterday after an inves-
tigation of several weeks of Howard
Barr. alias Ralph Lee, serving a 30-year
sentence for highway robbery Officers
who have watched Barr for some time
pulled from his throat a dollar bill
which he had raised to a twenty and
attempted to swallow when the inves-
tigators entered his cell. Pens and inks
were found attached to string and
lowered in a drain.
Following the raid upon Bars cell a
hypodermic syringe was found in the
quarters of Will Craig, Memphis MUIR
derer, who is declared to be the retailer
OF the gang"
Fry was tricked by ruse of Federal
Agent Leo Williams as he met a man
from whom he expected a quantity of
moprhine, for which he was to tender
some of the bills raised by Barr and
some real money. A message had been
sent through devious prison channels
several days ago to Craig, Offering to
trade an ounce Of morphine for $35 in
legitimate cash and five counterfeit
