Confession Is Claimed by
Police; Held on Charge
of ManSlaughter.

A chance conversation, overheard
on the street by Traffic Policeman
Timothy Mcmahon Of the police &C
cident prevention bureau, resulted
in the arrest and alleged confession
today of a hit-run driver whose
automobile fatally injured a man
Oct. 20, 1929.
James Joseph Horning, 20, of 951
Prospect street, arrested today by
Mcmahon and Lieutenant Frank
Owens, is alleged to have confessed
his automobile Was the one which
struck Lory Brookbank, 43, of 615
Eastern avenue, the night of Oct. 30,
at keystone avenue and Washing
ton street.
Brookbank died in st. Vincent'S
hospital the following day from his
injuries.
UncOverS CIew to Case
Police were baffled by the acct
dence in which the automobile sped
away before any witnesses could OBJ
tain a description or license number.
Traffic Officer Mcmahon, stand
ing on downtown corner several
months ago, overheard a converSa-
ton which gave clew to the case.
Following it, he questioned one of
the occupants of Mornings car on
the night of the accident.
Horning is alleged to have con-
fessed that two girls and another
youth were in his car at the time
of the accident. The victim, carry
ing an umbrella, stepped from be-
tween parked cars, Horning claimed,
and he was unable to avoid the &C
cident.
Urged to Drive Home
He said his male companion urged
him to drive on, fearing the girls
would be involved. Taking the girls
home, Horning claims he started
back for the scene of the accident
but was urged to drive home by his
companion.
He is charged with manSlaughter
and with failing to stop after an
accident.
William Tucker, so, of 1873 West
Twelfth street, injured in collision
between a taxi and a motor coach
ten days ago, died at Methodist hos
pital early today as result Of the
injuries. He is survived by four
daughters. His body will be taken
to New Palestine for burial.
Lieutenant Frank Owens began an
investigation of the accident today.

CUSHER DRIVES

Effort to Stem Flow.

BIZ United Press
OKLAHOMA CITY, April 4.-The
roaring Mary Sudik oil and gas
gusher, which has laid waste to the
countryside for nine days, turned
back a crew of picked oil men to-
day when they tried to harness its
flow with a huge steel cylinder.
Deadly fumes from the hundreds
of thousands of dollars worth of oil
and gas that spout from the gusher
overcame one worker and MADE the
rest i'll when they waded arm-pit
deep in crude oil to launch the
cylinder into the roaring vent.
Carrying their unconscious COM
panion, the crew retired. Gas masks
were ordered for another attempt
later in the day.

The district attorney was asked
how he personally explained the

Carver protests the proceedings
on the grounds that the coroners

for the crime upon the slain Negro
servant.

at the inquest that he was sleep
ing in a room adjoining that of his
wife when he was awakened by her
screams. He rushed to the door,

THIS. AT LEAST IS CERTAIN

One reason why trade is certain to improve within a month or so is given in the reports that wholesale buying has consistently Jagged be months. The tendency of trade has been to feed the surplus Of goods into consuming channels without taking the usual steps to maintain stocks. When the inevitable scramble arrives to enlarge stocks for the Fal' and Winter trade the effect in in dustry should be most stimulating. No one knows of course, what the extent Of this stimulation will be; but it is reasonable 10 suppose that many q manufacturing plant will take on increased workers al that time to produce the goods required.
