Leo v. Brothers, st. Louis gangster, &C
cused of Staying Alfred Lingle. Tribune
reporter, was reported being sought by
his mother, Mrs. Cordell Jessen, while
authorities went forward with plans to
seek to indict him today for murder.
Mrs. Jessen said she hoped to be able
to establish that her son was in Michi-
gan at the time Lingle was shot and
killed in the Randolph street tunnel
leading to a suburban railroad station
last June 8
Nine witnesses, the prosecutors said,
had identified Brothers as the man who
slew Lingle. They added their grand
jury presentation of evidence would be
completed today, and there would be
no delay In getting an indictment. De-
Tense attorneys, on the ether hand, said
they had found two witnesses to the
killing who had asserted that Brothers
did not resemble the slayer.
Meanwhile Brothers was held incom-
municado.
Agents for the States attorneys of
nee arrested Al men in series of raids
on gangland hauntS yesterday, and re-
ports were circulated that those appre-
iiended were taken for questioning in
connection with the Lingle case. Lieut..
William v. Blaul of the States attor-
ney's office, however, said the officers
were looking for the men who robbed
the Franklin Park State Bank last Sat-
urday.

MEXICAN CHURCH ROBBED

MEXICO CITY, January IL CP.-
The metropolitan police today had a
problem of church robberies on their
hands.
One of the boldest of recent hold ups
was perpetrated yesterday by two
bandits who stayed for hours at the
altar Of the church at Tepepan, ap-
parently praying.
When the sacristan went to look up
he informed them it was time to go,
whereupon the men attacked, bound
and gagged him, and, locking the church
door, proceeded to loot the church of all
the valuables they could carry away.

 The board expects to hear great deal about last Saturdays re- port which set the 1881 cotton crop lat 15,5s4,O0 bales. The trade had |estimated the crop at around 14,- 100000 bales.
 "In our estimate this year we took into consideration the fact that we had been running a little over" Callendar said.
 The cotton report was followed by a general crop report yesterday in which the board said bountiful crops were in prospect despite a drought in the west.
 The board said general average of crop yields showed this years crops would be 10.9 per cent above 1930 and about the same as the 10 year average.

 we feel that we are reason ably correct in our estimates. "of course we can't predict what will happen to the crop between now and September 1. but every pres ent indication is for crop just as large as we have estimated"

 At Charities Session
Meeting Proves Tame-IiaIf Dollar Difference on the
 Painting Bids

Despite rumors that last nights meeting of the board of charities would be an interesting one, it proved Q tame affair with routine business being transacted.
 Supt of Charities A. Barton Gross presented a detailed state-
 nent of the expenses of the de- pertinent tota1ling $41,975.88.
 The report came in for lengthy discussion by the board members, the various items being gone over in detail. Caring for the unem- ployed is proving a big item in the department expense, along with caring for 163 families.
 Supt Cross reported that 30
 men are being kept at work at the town farm. These men 1t was reported are unemployed and the department feels that it is better to keep them at work doing work at the farm instead of allowing them to remain at home and re- ceive aid from the department.
 Warden Green inquired from Oupt Cross if any effort had been made to secure employment for these men in the rubber plants.
 The superintendent stated that there had not but that the matter was taken up with the Futile Whittemore Fund, Inc, and that he had received splendid coopera- ton. In answer to question by Warden Green, if the men em- ployed at the farm, could work in the rubber plants, Supt Cross stated that he estimated that 40 per cent of them could. It was the general opinion that if the matter was taken up with the em- pfoyment agents of the factories tAat they would cooperate. George H. Waite, member of the board was of the opinion that if the mat ter was taken up with the com panies, work would be given wherever possible.
 On the suggestion of the board members, Supt Cross will endeavor to have some of these men given employment in the local factories. especially those who are young men. In Supt Cross report 1t was disclosed that the sum of $6,500 has been expended since April ], on unemployment wages. Supt Cross explained that under the present system of the department, money is not paid to the workers but instead they are given credit slips emitting them to trade at various stores. The superintendent also informed the board that a cut had been made in the number of assistant janitors in the town hall building from four to two. Those who are receiving work would have to be taken care of by the department.
 Bids Very Close.
 4 difference of one half dollar Tn the figures of two contractors who bid on the work of painting the borough almshouse and other was noted when the bids of Hugh w. Burns of the Nauga- tuck Painting and Decorating Co and Robert c. Schneider of Cam | sron and Schneider of Waterbury were opened. The local mans fig 0res were $500 and the figures of the Waterbury concern were $79e.50. Due to the fact that much of the department appro- priation has been expended 1t was
