CHICAGO, April 17.-While Scar

supposedly made merry amid cut
flowers and signed a new peace
pact" a band of their henchmen
raced along Blue Island avenue
about midnight in the traditional

Authority that Scarface Al and

the Herald and Examiner which
said in addition that Capone and
his underlings agreed to quit murder

bullets. He died at the wheel of his
sedan as he drove through the west
side Wednesday night in a futile
flight from enemy gunner.
Wednesday nights killing, the po-
lice believe, was another chapter in
the feud. It climaxed an attempt
of Blue to muscle in" on the
~bootlegging racket, since a long list
of names, a whisky price list and
q gallon of beer were found in his
car.
According to the Herald and Elk
aminer, the assassination occurred
about the time Capone and his
gangster friends were toasting one
another in several parties around
the Lexington hotel, near the south
side residence of the gang chief
since he was released last month
from a Philadelphia Jail.
The guests, the Herald and Ex-
aminer said, named Scarface as
their overload, pooled their re-
sources and income from vice, liquor
and gambling with Capone as treas
urer and agreed to quit this cut
throat competition"

Right Side Organ.

A market for a human body with

sought in q letter received by the
United Press here today.
James D. Cox, Fl. Wayne, asked
the press association to help him To-

claims, on the right side.

with an abnormal heart location.
The reference was to the case of
Edward Conrad, Petersburg, Ind,
killed in an auto accident early in
January. At the time it was re-
ported efforts we're made by medical
authorities to buy the body because
the heart was on the right side.
It was concerning this medical
institution that Cox inquired of the

of $4,000 in cash and a trust fund
to Miss Edwards.
Under the verdict which the jury
brought in after celebrating since
Wednesday afternoon, Miss Edwards
can be sentenced to a maximum of
seven and one-half years in prison.
The jury recommended %leniency.
It was learned that the jurors were
voting II to l for conviction and
that the twelfth one changed his
mind after rereading the testimony
OF Mrs. Harriet Stockpole, mother of
Lyle Stackpole, the actress, whom
Miss Edwards testified also was init
mate with AmSter.
Amster and the boy Lee were not
in court when the verdict was re-
turned.
There is some possibility that Miss
Edwards may lose, the 100000 trust
fund which AmSter established, de-
spite the fact that he denied parent
hood of her child.
Miss Edwards was nervous when
the verdict was returned. Her face
paled. AS she answered the routine
questions in connection with the
verdict, she spoke out weakly.
She was led from the courtroom

The attempted eXtortion charge
grew out of demands which Amster
claimed the girl made after their
association had existed for more
than a year.
The girl contended that her small
sol was the child of the wealthy
traction man and denied she had
attempted to extort money from
him. She claimed all the money
had been given her voluntarily by
Amster.
The jury was composed entirely
of married men.

end Wednesday in a whirlwind OF

Sarcastic Jibes at Cara

BIZ United. Press
WASHINGTON, April 1T.-John
j. Raskob, chairman of the Demo-
cratic national committee. was in
charge of soliciting funds from
Democrats for the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment,
testimony before the senate lobby
committee showed today.
A letter from the associations
files revealed Raskob signed letters
asking for contributions from DEM
ocratS, while Lamont Dupont signed
letters to Republicans.
Another letter read into the record
revealed the association seeks to
raise more than $1,000 900 this year
to conduct state prohibition
referendums to show congress the
country is wet.
The letter revealing the 81, 200, 900
budget was from Henry H. Curran,
president of the anti-dry association
to Percy S. Straus.
Curran objected to its reading, de.
claring it was private correspondence
which had nothing to do with the
committees investigation. The letter
follows:
Hold State Voting
"Our chief plan at present in inn
pressing Dur dry congress with the
fact the country mostly is wet, is
the holding Of statewide referen-
dums such as we carried on success
fully last year in Wisconsin, and be-
fore then in Montana, Nevada and
New York.
This year Massachusetts will
come first, with other states as fast
as We can reach them. For this
there will be required o than a
million dollars this year, of which
more than $1,000 already has been
subscribed by a few of our directors,

ness, Richard T. Crane, Charles H
Sabin, Irenee Du Pont, Commodore
Arthur CurtisS James, Lammot Du
Pont, John j. Raskob, Eldridge r.

lips, Jr."
Curran told the committee earlier
in the hearing five states are "in
open revolt" against prohibition. He
said they were New York, Maryland,
Montana, Nevada and Wisconsin.
Curran, Caraway Clash
The hearing was marked by FREE
quent clashes between Chairman
Caraway and the witness.
Curran was the most laxative
witness the committee has faced in
its six months of work, and treS
quently shot sarcastic jibes at mem
bers of the Investigating group.
The associations files revealed
that Garter Field, Washington
newspaper man, is employed by the
association to study state political
situations and report to officers OF
the association what candidates

CHIEF REFUSES TO QUIT
Order Removing Head of
Allen County Institution
Up to Courts.

Ba United Press
Fl. WAYNE, Ind, April 17.-Al-
len county authorities today were
investigating the death of Thomas
Lakey, Sc, whose body was found at
the county int1rmary with portions
of the chin, lips, gums and tongue
gnawed away by rats.
Investigators announced they in
tended to determine whether mutt
lation was done before OF after
death.
"Rats ate that hole in his jaw.
Cover it up before his relatives see
it, and don't tell any one," Carl
Doehrman, undertaker's assistant,
said he was told by w. Homer
Young, infirmary superintendent.
Young later denied that rats had
mutilated the body, but added, "let'S
not say anything about It," when he
talked to a Ft. Wayne newspaper
man who had gone to the in1rmary
upon hearing of the case from
D~oeh6tnan.
Family Demands Quiz
Or. Sterling Hoffman, infrmary
physician, said he examined Lakey
early Tuesday morning and told at
tendantS the patient could not live
tWenty-four hours.
"He was helpless at that time. I
can not say whether the mutilation
was before or after his death, but
it is possible that this gruesome
tragedy was enacted while he was
dying. I can only testify that there
was no mark on his face Tuesday"
DR.. Sterling said.
Doehrman Immediately notified
county officials and relatives OF the
dead man. Members of the family
demanded an investigation.
Lakey, adjudged of unsound mind,
was admitted to the int1rmary two
weeks ago to await commitment to
the Easthaven Asylum for the In
sane at Richmond.
Refuses to Quit
An order removing Young as u
perintendent of the inhrmary was

Young has refused to relinquish
possession Of the superintendent
quarters at the institution and is
remaining in Office until the appeal
is decided.
Judge Jesse c. Sutton, Decatur,
special judge in the case, has heard
the evidence and will announce his

Among charges made by the COM
missioners, it was alleged the in
Urinary had become infested with

min under Young's administration.
