money he spent" in his purely pri-
vate" anti-Smith activities in 1928.
While applause and Kisses swept
the hearing room, the gray-haired,
bespectacled, little southern Metho-
dist churchman declared he could not
be persuaded ven by warnings that
others have gone to Jail for refusing
to answer senatorial questions.
You'll never see that account" he
almost shouted when asked about the
expenditures of the anti-Smith move
ment he headed.
Again and again he replied II de-
cline to answer" to questions about
his part in the campaign and about
the failure Of his committee to report
to congress some of the expenditures.
Responding to other inquiries about
contributors and contributions he
said he could not remember.
The absence of a committee quorum
Will delay a decision whether on

Repeating his refusal Of yesterday,
the bishop told Senator Walsh, Dem

GANG CREMATORY IS
SOUGHT IN CHICAGO
CHASTITY Device for Removing
Evidence Of Murder Sus-
pected to Exist

Chicago, June 4.-R)-A crematory
for gangster dead-an ingenious and
CHASTITY device for removing the evil
dence Of wholesale murder-was
hunted by states attorneys men to-
day while police puzzled over another
and particularly brutal gangland as
sassination.
Pat Roche Of the states attorneys
office said he had reliable informa-
ton q north side gang was cremating
its murder victims, thus getting rid Of
the corpus deficit" The disappear
ance tn recent weeks Of william
Higgins, st. Paul. Mimi, racketeer,
and Ben Bennett, New York whiskey
dealer, has given precedence to the
crematory report. Roche said. He
pointed out further that within q
week there have been two gang gun
attacks in Chicago in which the VIC
tim, after being shot down, has been
carried away.
The latest gang murder-the tenth
In the Chicago are within three
days-was discovered last night. The
victim vas Thomas Somnerio, 80, who
was tried ard acquitted of completely
in the election day 1929 Staying Of
Octavius Granady, negro lawyer.
somnerio's body was found late last
night in an alley. The body was cut
and bruised, indicating torture. The
wrists were wired. A welt around the
neck indicated Somnerio had been
garroted.
Indicted and tried with somnerio
for the Granady murder were Louis
Clemente, aligned with the Capones,
and Rocco Belastro, reputed expert
in bomb making.
Police are certain Somnerio's murder
was in reprisal for the little mas
sacre" Of three Druggan associates at
Fox lake early Sunday. They say 1t
is just another episode Of blood In
the renewed gang war precipitated
six weeks ago with the staying Of Joe
Blue, ex-convict and friend Of Terry
'Druggan, one time beer baron.
The hunt for the gangster crem-
atory led Roche and his states attor-
ney's aides last night to q west side
garage. Opening the furnace door,
expecting possibly to find human
ashes. Roche found instead a box
containing q hundred sticks Of dyna-
mite. The explosive was covered with
ashes. Wrapped in q newspaper of
May rs date were fuses and detonator
caps.
Ownership Of the garage and Of the
hidden dynamite was being investi-
gated today.
