JURY TAKES UP
L|NGLE PROBE

CHICAGO, July 7 QN.SO. /.
Four weeks following the murder
of Alfred Jake" Lingle, Chicago
Tribune reporter, a new grand
jury was sworn in today which is
expected to bring to light the
gangland motives which brought
the execution of the newsman
who has been termed Chicago's
unofficial police chief"
The new grand jury is expected
TO carry out the instructions of
Chief Justice Dennis Normoyie to
investigate without fear or favor
the 'higher-ups' who may have
been associated with Lingle in his
dealings with gamblers and boot
leggers."
The grand jury is expected to
take full charge of the case, sup
planting the board of strategy"
which has been investigating the
killing. The jurymen will prooa-
bly, subpoena all the records of the
board of strategy and hear its
members as witnesses under cath.
Thus far the investigation has
brought to light only details of
Lingle's financial transactions
with gamblers and bootleggerS and
public officials. This, coupled
with the repudiation of more or
less blanket indictment against
staffS of other Chicago newspa-
pers which was written by re-
porter for the st. Louis Star, has
brought demand that the case
go to the grand jury for an airing
of all the facts.
States Attorney John Swanson
announced today that he will di-
rect an Investigation of charges
made by the st. Louis reporter
imputing that "a number of Chi
cago newspaper men have main
tanned alliances with gangland.
The States attorney said the re-
porter. Harry T. Brundige, will be
questioned and taken before the
grand jury. where he will be asked
to name the source of the pub
liShed rumorS. Swanson's action
follows editorial protests of several
Of the newspapers, demanding
that the charge be made specific.

IS PROBED

ELLICOTT CITY, Md, July Z.
Officials here today are inVesti-
eating the mysterious death of
Orion S. Cover, IS, railroad cross
ing watchman. whose body was
found in a glen so yards from
the Washington Baltimore Pike,
at Deep Run; yesterday.
The watchmar disappeared
about a week ago. Officials so
far have been unable to determine
whether he came to his death
through poisoning or a gun shot
wound. A hole in the back of
his neck led to the theory that
he shot himself, but no gun was
found near the body.
A note which it is said he left
at his home is reported to have
foretold his death.
Covers coat and hat were
found hanging from a tree by a
small colored boy, who obtained
the aid of passing motorist in
notifying police.
An intense search for the man
had been underway for a week.
Chief of Police Julius Wosch, of
Ellicott City, States Attorney
James Clark and Justice of the
Peace Howard U. Gosnen are con-
Quoting the investigation.
Two sons, Edgar o. and Clark
