REPORTER GOES
BEFORE JURY IN
RACKETS PROBE
Brundidge Is Reported to
Have Barred Corruption
of Newspaper Men.
BIZ United Press

BD United Press
CHICAGO, July 22.-Claims of
alleged corruption and unethical
practices among police reporters and
sub-editors of several Chicago news
papers engaged the interest Of the
Cook county grand jury today.
Harry T. Brundidge, st. Louis Star
reporter, was the voluntary witness
who told the jurors what he had
learned about alleged racketeering
in the Chicago newspaper frater-
nifty.
Although Brundidge took the oath
Of secrecy when he entered the
grand jury room and promised not
to divulge anything that went on
while he was present, it was learned
that the jurors expressed lively
interest in the report of BrundidgeS
investigation for his paper.
Send for Editor
More than two hours after the st.
Louis reporter had entered/the jury
room, the grand jurors sent out for
Il /
tor Of the st. Louis Star and the
man who assigned Brundidge to the
Chicago investigation. Taylor and
John F. Green, the Stars attorney,
accompanied Brundidge to Chicago
by airplane for today's hearing.
Assigned originally to report the
aftermath of the murder of Alfred
j. Lingle, reporter Off the Chicago
Tribune, BrIndidge sent his paper
a series of stories charging that
Lingle was not the only Chicago re-
porter involved in racketeering.
Brought Editorial War
The Tribune reprinted this series,
precipitating Chicago's intensely
competitive dailies into a spectacu-
lar editorial controversy concerning
which of the papers were harboring
crooks. Names of staff members
we're banded about by. the opposing
papers in editorials and news sto-
rieS.
With the uproar over Brundidge's
charges in full swing, little progress
is being made toward solving the
Lingle murder. The Tribune's morn
ing competitor, Hearst's Herald and
Examiner, charged today that the
charges against other newspaper
men were being raised as a sr- -'-e
screen to hide the true extent of
Lingle's implications with the un-
derworld.

GREENFIELD, Ind, July GA
Hancock circuit court jury of ten
farmers and two school teachers late
today will retire for deliberation that
will determine the fate of George
Kolb, Rushville farmer, charged
with murder.
Defense attorneys were to end
their arguments at 2:30 p. n, and
Paul Benson, chief of prosecution,
was to renew the states final fight
to send Kolb to the electric chair.
Judge Arthur G. Van Duyn will
instruct the jury at 4:30 p. m.
Raymond Springer, defense attor-
ney, this morning emphasized many
points he declared the state failed
to prove, recalled the jury's atten-
ton to testimony that Mrs. Edna

wife, whom he is accused of having

on, an auto race driver, few
weeks before her demise last fall.
He concluded with citation of
many cases wherein men have been
cent to the electric chair, or to
prison for life, on circumstantial
evidence that later was revealed
false.
John H. Kiplinger, chief of the
defense counsel, began his argu-
ments when Springer ended, and
warned the jury against committing
legal murder" by sending Kolb to
the chair.
Charles T1ndall, defense attorney,
started the arguments for Kolb to
the jury Monday afternoon, uphold
ing the contention that the defen-
dant's third wife, Mrs Edna Dagler
Kolb, committed suicide and was
not the victim of strychnine ad-
ministered by her husband, as
charged.
The defel;se is stressing reason
able doubt" in closing arguments,
pointing 70 the states case as a
chain of cirsumstantial evidence.
If Kolb is acquitted, it is not con-
sidered likely that the state will try
the murder case now - pending
against hir1 for the alleged murder
of his second wife, Mrs. Matte Lar
ramore Kolb, in Rushville in 1926.
The state selected it's strongest case
for trial.
If Kolb is convicted and sentenced
either to death in the electric chair,
as demanded by the state; to life
Imprisonment; or given term for
manslaughter, it is expected the de-
fense will take immediate appeal
steps.

Copies of the order were sent the
Flower Mission board, DR.. William
A. Doeppers, city hospital superin-
tendent, the health board, Mayor
Reginald H. Sullivan and city coun-
cilmen.
The order for immediate vacation
came as a surprise to city health
and flower mission leaders, although
they have admitted the structure to
be "a fire trap" and planned to re-
lieve the condition.
Unfit for Use, Says Report
"The place is absolutely unfit for
use in any disqualification program"
Graham declared. I'VE had taken
this matter up with both hospital
authorities and the Flower Mission
Society and all agreed With us.
we expect to see that all patients
are removed from there in thirty
days from the date of our order,
July 81. The place is in very bad
state and would be impossible to re-
pair"
Admissions were discontinued sew
eral weeks ago when the Flower
Mission leaders asked permission of
the health board to spend $4,000
toward erection of unit for ad-
vanced tubercular patients on hos
pital ground.
No Other Facilities
The mission was denied definite
reply pending results Of a survey
which is being made by DR.. Herman
G. Morgan, city health board sec
retary, and Eugene G. Foster, Indi-
annapolis Foundation secretary.
Foster said that a sociological sur
vey to determine the resources of
the twenty patients in the hospital
will be made at once to determine
what can be done with the chronic
patients. There are no
other facilities for handling ad-
vanced cases since Sunnyside does
not admit incurableS.

well, it is better that way than
to have something happen that
would always be blot on the city's
name" was Fosters comment. I'm
sure that all agencies will aid in
this emergency, but it will be most
difficult to find quarters for twenty
persons. The difficulty which we
will demonstrate the real
need for a new hospital of that
kind"
Any patients who have homes or
relatives will be sent there and an
effort made to absorb the remainder
at Sunnyside or city hospital.

,THICAGO may have trouble
~ keeping its babies in the right
families, but there's no danger of
mixing genealogy in indianapolis.
City hospitals use footprints and
name" beads to prevent the ice
mans youngster from being raised
on the silver spoon of the million
aires nursery.
Take today's birth of Baby King
at 1859 a. m. in the William H. Cole
man hospital. Her first squawk was
not so much at seeing the light of
day as it was at having her foot
linked on a pad similar to those used
for finger printing in Bertillon
rooms of police departments.
Beads Garry Name
The linked foot then was placed
on her mothers hospital admit
ance and record card. Then the
mothers right thumbprint was i'm
printed alongside Baby Kings
foot mark.
With the completion of this op-
Grafton by doctors and nurses, Baby
King was given her second surety
that she wouldn't be in the wrong
baby Buggy when her name was
strung with beads on a fish line and
the line clamped tight with a piece
of shot as it was placed around
her neck.
"Just try and take it off," Baby
King cooed in her best "babyese"
as her first necklace was made.
When she and her mother are
discharged from the hospital her
footprint and the thumbprint of her
mother are taken again and COM
pared with the prints made at her
birth.
Sure to Get Right Parents
If they check under microscope
and they always do, Baby King is
assured that she's going to be
fondled by the right parents.
The Methodist, st. Vincent's and
Indiana Christian hospitals use SIM
liar methods for identifying babes
in their nurseries.
Adhesive tape bracelets and
strips on the back of babes with
their names in indelible ink are
used as identification adjuncts to
the footprint and bead" methods.
