CHICAGO, March 1.-THE first muir

ready to go to trial.
Both were members of the execu-
ton squad" Stansbury declared "and
any effort to seek their release on bail
will be opposed with all the force we
can command"
Stansbury would not indicate what
evidence he had to disprove McGurn'S
story that he spent the murder morn
ing in his room at the Stevens Hotel.
1t was revealed, however, that the
police had traced telephone calls made
by McGurn during his two weeks stay
at the hotel.
Phone Code Used.
McGurn talked several times with
friend in Cicero, police said, and the
conversations were obviously in code.
Once McGurn was asked, "How's the
child?" and his reply was, They got
the measles"
THE wife has leakage of the
heart" McGurn was quoted as saying
another time. This was taken TO mean
that important information was escap-
ing.
Louise Rolfe, arrested with McGurn,
was to be arraigned today, with Nc
Gurn and Fanelli. The gangSters were
each booked on seven charges of mur-
der, one for each Of the men shot down

The fact that Miss Rolfe was charged
with "disorderly conduct" for which
bail Is easily made, was taken as an
indication that police would not at
tempt to hold her in Jail.
Differences between the States at
torney's Office and the police became
evident when 1t was announced that
policemen from the prosecutors Office
would henceforth carry on the task of
seeking additional evidence and cap

ARTILLERY GUARDS
L|NDBERGH PARTY
Troops Escort Morrow Fam
lily and Aviator to
Country Home.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, March "A heavy
artillery escort was provided Col. Charles
A. Lmdbergh, Ambassador Morrow and
his family by the Mexican government
this morning for their 40-mile trip to
the Morrow country home at Cuerna-
vaca.
A bandit raid on freight train yes
terday near Cuernavaca led to fears by
government officials that guerilla ele-
tended harm to Mexico's distinguished
guest and his fance, Miss Anne Nor
row.
The fear, however, was not shared
by Col. Lindbergh and the Morrows,
who shortly after their arrival from
Toluca late yesterday reat1lrmed their
intentions of making the trip today re-
turning to Mexico City Monday or
Tuesday.
In the raid on the train yesterday,
footing was followed by burning of the
cars. The affair occurred between Ell
Parque and Alarcon, in the State of
Morelos, near the highway.
But for the fact that Col. Lindbergh,
his flance, her mother and sister Eliza
beth, chose to go to Toluca instead of
adhering to an original plan to motor to
Cuernavaca yesterday they would have
passed close to>the scene of the raid.
Bandits Active.
Banditry and highway hold-ups &C.
CURED during the last year at times
when AmbaSsadoy Morrow himself was
making the motal' trip. On one of these
occasions he narrowly missed large
highway hold-up.
MaXimiliano Vigueras, held response
bic for those attacks, has since been
captured and executed but there have
been reports that Benjamin Mendoza,
who surrendered recently, was back in
the field and operating in this district.
Motive for attack on Col Lndbergh
and the Morrows would be supplied in
desire for ransom On the other hand,
the gertrude of quick reprisal by the
government should be a deterrent. In
view of popularity of Col. I.indbergh
and the Morrows, no physical harm to
them would be expected.
Deny Secret Wedding Plans.
Although sources close to the Nor
row family have reiterated there is to
be no secret wedding between Miss
Morrow and Col Lindbergh, a large
contingent of newspaper men and pho
tographerS planned % follow the car
