WITNESS DEATH.
STAYS WILL

International complications may
have to be unraveled to admin
lister the $248.28 estate of an
American soldier whose will was
filed shortly after his death in
1912 and which has never been
admitted to probate.
The soldier, Sam Gietes, a for
mer Russian subject. whose name
had been Shelma SlmuleV Gitis,
died at Ft. Bayard, N. NJ, Jan
uary l6. 1912. His will was wit
messed by three soldier buddies,
all of whom have since died and
the money was transmitted in
trust to the U. S. Soldiers home
Under the terms of the will, a
sister. Mrs. ZuSia Shmulevna
Braverman, of Chechelnik, Rus
sia. was named beneficiary.
To Attorney David. Weiner fell
the task of getting the will ad-
mitted to probate and today he
filed a petition asking that the
finance officer of the Soldiers
Home be required to place the
money in the hands of the court
and asked that the War Depart.
ment be called upon to furnish
Identification. records of the three
soldier witnesses to the will in
order that expert comparison of
their official signatures wit h
those on the will. might be made
to prove the document.
The petition for probate is
filed on request of the sister and
it is thought that the failure
Of this country to recognize the
Russian Soviet has been largely
responsible for the unparalleled
delay in setting in force the ma
chinery of the court to turn
the estate over to the beneficiary.

CAPONE IS STILL

CHICAGO, March 20 GN.S0-
AS far Chicago police are con-
cerned, "Scarface AL" Capone,
gang leader de luxe, today might
still be in his cell at Eastern peni
tentiary, Philadelphia.
Out Of a maze of reliable ad-
vices" which placed Capone at
one and ali of his gangs hideouts
in and about Chicago, at an In.
diana rendezvous and in several
cities in the East, police have
concluded that the willy beer car

rounded by a few trusted body.
guards.
II haven't the slightest idea
where Capone is hiding" said
Chief Of Detectives John Siege.
IF we find him he will be picked
up"
Authorities are convinced that
Capone'S efforts to remain hidden
are prompted not alone by his de-
sire to avoid the police, as nc
specific charge is lodged against
him. The accepted theory is that
rival interests have seriously re-
solved to put him away" on his
release from prison, and CapOne
has learned of the plot.
