DRY IS CLEARED
IN KILLING

Witnesses to the killing OF Tom
Chandler, of Poteet, Texas, by
Charles Stevens, Federal prohibition
agent, agreed that the shooting
was purely accidental, Prohibition
Commissioner James M. Doran said
today after receiving a report on
the affair from Deputy Commits
sioner o. D. Jackson.
while / was somewhat dubious
as to Stevens first statement that
Chandler was shot when the agent
slipped and fell causing a rifle I'M
der his arm to he discharged, an
other Federal agent. a town mar
shall and constable who were in
the party, substantiated Stevens
version in full" Doran said.
Stevens has reputation OF
being a careful officer and he has
been in the service a long time,
with an excellent record. The re-
port will be accepted as accurate"
Stevens has been held under
small bond. No indictment has
been returned. but IL Stevens is
held for trial the case will be trans
ferred to the Federal courts and
the Government will defend the
agent, DOran said.
The Chandler killing occurred
when State and Federal agents
were searching for a still. Accord
ing to Jackson's report, Chandler
was on the front porch of his house
and the agents were in the yard.
Doran remarked that 1t appeared
Incredible that Stevens would have
shot Chandler down purposely.

heart.

1t works somewhat In the follow

The patient summons the family

Gates what treatment is necessary
and then figures out to penny how
many dollars and cents must be shot
away before health Is recaptured.
Then the doctor fills out card
which serves as authorization to

interest, when and as collected.

Thus, DIR. Hutton explained. the
patient Is completely financed from
the first pill to the last, and the
physician finally receives 1861 per
cent of his total fee. The finance
organization retains 1853 per. cent
as the doctors contribution to the
plan, and it piles up special fund
against which all bad loans are
charged.
II the loan turns out uncollect-
able. the physician receives only the
IS per cent originally advanced,
which assures him of receiving at
least a fraction of his costs in time
