Capone May Appear

Py Times Special
SOUTH BEND, Ind, Sept. 49,
Possibility that Al Capone, Chicago
gang leader will be called from his
cell in a Pennsylvania prison to
appear before the federal grand jury
here in its investigation Of alleged
political-yice conspiracy in Lake
county, was discussed at the Federal
building today. Oliver M. LOOMS,
district attorney, refused to COM
ment on the Capone issue.
First intimation that Capone
would be called was given by The
indianapolis Times in an exclusive
story two weeks ago.
Lieutenant Is Nabbed
This connection was apparent
when Nick Sudovich was arrested in
federal raids at East Chicago. 1t was
common knowledge that Sudovich
was one of the important lieuten-
ants in the Capone gang.
1t was learned today that wit
ness now appearing before the jury
described operations Of Illinois fac
tons in the alleged Lake county
graft ring.
According to this testimony it
was reported that the jurors heard
that a messenger called regularly on
some officials in Lake county and
returned with the proceeds to
Illinois.
Sensational Story Told
A sensational story Of racketeering
and corruption, including murder,
is claiming attention today Of the
federal grand jury here in the in
vestigation.
Nick Marovich, brother of Urosh
MaroVich, killed year ago in East
Chicago, is telling the story. 1t is
said the Staying resulted from the
victims desire to expand his liquor
dealing. The brother was brought
here to testify from the federal
prison at Leavenworth, Kan, where
he is serving term for violation OF
the Mann white slave act.
Al Armstrong, serving a life SEN
tence in the Indiana state prison,
in connection with the Staying, told
his version of the crime to officials
who visited the prison. Nick .Sudo-
vich, alleged East Chicago leuten-
ant of Capone, is under indictment
by the Lake county grand jury on
a charge Of numbering Urosh Ma
rovich.
So Witnesses Called
Sixty-nine more witnesses have
been summoned from Lake county
to appear before the grand jury
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
AS the probe goes on, the gov
eminent continues to make arrests
in the county. Among the latest
warrants served was one on Martin
Zarkovich, East Chicago police SER
geant, charged with conspiracy to
violate the dry law. He is at lib
erty OH $4,000 bond pending trial.
Zarkovich is classed as lieutenant
of Police Chief James Reagan, one
of 135 persons arrested in a raid
in East Chicago a few weeks ago.
Authorities are searching for
George Michalek, branded as an
Indiana Harbor racketeer, who
escaped as bullets flew when federal
officers sought to arrest him on
dry law warrant.

the total amount of money taken

when you take into consider
alton the revenue derived annual

promptly. This was done in spite
of the fact that the revolt started
