State Promises to Offer
Witnesses to Murder of
Jake LingIe.
BY WILLIAM E. HALLBERG
United Press STAFF Correspondent

CHICAGO, March 24.-Proof by
the testimony Of seven persons that
Leo v. Brothers killed Alfred j.
Lingle, Chicago Tribune police re-
porter, was promised today by G..
Wayland Brooks, assistant states
attorney, in his opening sttement
to the jury trying Brothers.
Tyrell v. Krum, Brothers at
torney, followed Brooks with the
defense opening statement charging
that the states Testimony is "a
frameup arranged with funds pro-
vided by the Tribune, through pur-
chased testimony"
Brooks and Krum made their
opening statements while pacing be-
fore a huge artists drawing of the
Illinois Centrl subway under Mich
igan avenue in which Lingle was
shot down from behind last June
8. The map was placed at an
angle visible to the jury and court
room.
Shows No Emotion
Brothers, attired in a double
breasted blue suit, sat with his at
torneys, his chin cupped in his left
hand-the hand the state charges
fired the shot that killed Lingle. AL
though he was hearing the first
complete revelation of the states
case, Brothers showed no emotion.
'Lingle was twenty-five feet be-
yond the beginning of the subway's
rise to the Illinois Central station
platform when a single pistol shot
struck him in the back and center
of the head, paralyzing his brain.
He died so quickly that his jaw
locked on a cigar he was smoking
and he pitched to the floor still
holding a racing form.
Behind Lingle and the murderer
were Clark (ReO Apologize, a
Kentucky racing enthusiast, and
his wife. They knew LingIe, but
were not aware that he was in the
tunnel.
Mr.. and Mrs. Applegate were
few feet behind the reporter at the
crash of the bullet and saw a
young man turn, run past and drop
a gun.
Saw Cop in Chase
Mrs. Applegate cried: Somebody
get that man Her husband fol-
lowed him out of the tunnel, then
stopped and watched him cross the
street. He saw a police officer take
up the chase, then went on to the
races.
Mrs. Apologize has been ex-
tremely nervous since that time and
may not be able to testify. Her
husband viii tell you the man he
saw was Leo Brothers"
Brooks then went on to identify
other witnesses. At one point, he

URGES CITIZENS
BAND TO TAKE
CARE OF POOR
Ward Hiner. offers to Give
SIPS a Week and Time
to Project.

Care Of thousands who will be
hungry in indianapolis and through
out the state next winter should be
undertaken by voluntary organ
1zation of citizens who will operate
without profit and without pay,
Ward B. Hiner, truck line operator,
proposed today.
People who have money are 60
ing to have to come to the rescue
in one way or another" Hiner said
calling meeting at next Mon
day evening at his office, 528
I Illinois building. All citizens inter-
ested in relief movement are urged
by Hiner to attend
Stating that this whole propo-
sition must be taken care of by
people who can afford to without
pay or profit" Hiner predicted that
IF we do not provide for the poor
and needy next winter, we may ex-
pect banditry, murders, pilferage,
kidnapping, with people held for
ransom, throughout the entire city
and state"
Urges City Program
Hiner urged that the city begin
to build relief organization now.
we should start before winter, ="
he said. Thousands Of persons will
contribute to a move like this who
will not contribute to other organ
izations where they think too much
money perhaps may be spent in an
administrative way.
Il will give $125 a week for six
teen weeks to a fund of this kind
to care for Marion county, and will
make it $3.50 a week for sixteen
weeks if the movement is made
statewide.
Il will devote half of my time
starting Nov. l and continuing to
March l to help supervise and
build an organization to raise
money and see that proper aid is
given the proper people. I will do
this without pay.
Committee without Pay
Il know that hundreds can be
brought behind this matter if the
proper men are appointed as a
committee without pay.
Coal can be brought in by the
car load, potatoes and apples can be
brought in by the car load, as well
as corn meal and flour.
Il can see no reason why flour
can not be bought awfully cheap,
and bacon and meat purchased in
large quantities at low prices.
This is a nonprofit move, and the
provisions should be boughS direct
from the farmer or producer at the
very lowest possible prices, with no
cost for handling.
Il know that rooms to take care
of this business will be donated.
"As the matter now stands, the
township and county, because OF
the amount of taxes that will be left
unpaid this fall, will be in no po-
sition to care for an emergency"

.D.C.HEAD MAKES
:, STEEL STUDY

Although no order to cease the
steel work on the new Roosevelt
High School was issued, Major
John C.. Gotwals, District Engi-
neer Commissioner, today took
under advisement the request of
the local unit of the International
Association of Bridge and Struc-
Plural Iron Workers fol a thor
ough check on plans for the build
ing.
The request of the union, made
by John LOcher, business repre-
sentative, in the form of a public
letter, urged that all the steel
work on the project be halted un-
til the plans are checked.
Commissioner Gotwals said that
he will make a thorough study of
not only the plans for the build
[ ing, but the mode of inspection
employed by attaches of the Mu-
nicipal Architects Office. He said
he expected to complete his study
by Wednesday when he will make
an announcement of his findings.
The controversy over the new
school building began on April %,
when rs tons of steel framework
collapsed in high wind. Ten
days after the crash, Heron Todd
Company. the steel erectors, made
public a letter. placing blame for
the crash on the Municipal Archi-
'tect's Office and the National Con-
struction Company, general con-
tractors.
Denial of charges of laxity on
the part of the Municipal Archi-
tect's Office as contained in the
letter of the Todd company was
made by Major H. L. Robb, AS
sistant Engineer Commissioner,
and other District officials on
Saturday.

TENANT GIVEN
$4,000 CLAIM

The Court Of Appeals today
affirmed decision of the District
Supreme Court in condemna-
tion case in which the tenant of
property acquired by the Federal
Government was allowed $35. 900
for structures and improvements
he made on the property which
he had used as a gasoline filling
station.
Arthur Seagren, the tenant, con-
Quoted a filling station near the
Capitol on the property which is
to be used for the Botanic
Gardens. His lease provided that
he might remove the improve
ments on termination of his
tenancy. Recently his lease ex-
pired and he and the landlord
were unable to agree on the
terms of a new lease when the
condemnation proceedings were
instituted.
The District Supreme Court
awarded him an allowance for
his improvements and the Gov
ernment appealed on grounds
that he should remove them and
he still had the opportunity.
The higher court held there
was no lease and the improve
ments were a part of the realty
