Witnesses said Adams,
paroled seven months ago
from Leavenworth prison,
was the man who killed John
j. Wilson, As, of Indianapolis,
and fatally wounded Walter
M. Gilbert, SO, of Cincinnati,
in a battle which ensued when
Wilson and Gilbert and two
other federal agents attempt
ed to trap him at the bridge.
Two other federal agents involved
we're C. E. Green of Portland, Ind,
and Oliver j. Gettle of indianapolis.
They said they posed at bootleggers
earlier in the day and arranged for
Adams to deliver load of beer at
the bridge at 8 p. m.
Bullet Battle Opens
When Adams arrived, they said,
he recognized Gilbert as the man
who arrested him for bootlegging in
1929 Sensing that he had been
led into trap, he drew two re-
volvers.
Wilson fell first, shot four times,
and died instantly. Gilbert went
down in an exchange of fire, and
Adams, blood streaming from the
wound in his neck, staggered to his
car and escaped.
Green and Settle, who said they
could not join the fight, as their
guns, were in their cars, rushed Gill
bert to a hospital, where he died an
hour later of bullet wound in his
lungs.
Gettle said the agents we're in
their shirt sleeves, and therefore
had their guns in their autos when
Adams opened fire. I'VE didn't
think he Would murder us" Gettle
said.
Fire Is Returned
Wilson never had a chance. He
stood there without making move
when Adams shot him."
It was then, Gettle said, that Gill
bert got his gun and returned the
fire.
Gerry Sewer, Waynedale, who
witnessed the shooting, said he saw
one man fire three shots from an
auto at another, and that his vic
tim staggered across the road. He
said the assailant then walked
across the road and fired five shots
into the body of his victim.
Lloyd Krouse, who was visited by
Adams shortly after the shooting,
and who brought him to Fl. Wayne
later bandaging his wounded neck,
was held as a material witness.
Makes No Resistance
Adams offered no resistance to ar
rest, although he still clutched his
.45-caliber automatic pistol.
Murder charges we're to be filed
today against Adams, who was held
in Allen county jail without bond.
Gettle and Green suffered lacer~
ations from a barbed wire fence
when they leaped from the bridge
at the shooting scene to escape the
bullets. Green was treated at q hos
pital and soon released.
Green, who was said to have
served a term imposed in Portland
on liquor charges, telephoned to
Jay county authorities from the
hospital and asked that his family
be protected from possible violence,
as the result of the encounter,

Anxious to stamp out monopo-
fstic tendencies in the radio
world, Congressional leaders to-
day were awaiting a decision by
the Federal Radio Commission on
the revocation of all broadcaSting
permits held by the Radio Cor
poration Of America.
The commission must decide
whether it is bound by decision
of the Federal courts, holding the
S'R. C. A." guilty Of violating
section Of the Clayton antitrust
act. If 1t reaches . decision
against the corporation, the COM
mission will revoke all the "R.
G. A." br0adcasting permits.
Dill Act Studied
Congressional leaders were in
SereSted to learn whether the
commission will strictly interpret
the Dill-White radio act. which
expressly directed it to revoke all
permits of any corporation found
to be violating the antitrust laws.
In spite Of the huge loss it would
entail the r. C. A., it was ap-
parent Congressional leaders
favored revocation of its permits
rs a result of the court decision.
Senator CouZenS, chairman Of
the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee, which drafted the
law said:

Of Congress correctly, it was
Just such a case Congress had
In mind when it passed the
law requiring the Federal Radio
Commission to cancel the
licenses of any corporation con-
victed Of violating the Federal
antitrust laws.
eff the intent of Congress
should be miSinterpreted by the
Federal Radio Commission or
any of its counsel, undoubtedly
Congress at its next session will
reState its views in more explicit
and definite legislation"
BOrah Interested
!, Senator Borah (R) of Idaho
declared he was deeply inter
eSted" in the Commissions pend
ing decision. He said:
II believe Congress is watch
ing this case with interest, be-
cause it specifically drafted q
law with the intent Of prevent
ing mOnOpOIistic control of the
radio industry and providing
severe punishment for corpora

AS you draw in that fragrant, mild, cool smoke,
redOlent with the joy of choicest Turkish and
mellow Domestic tobacco, only then do you realize
the full importance of this new Humidor Pack.
For scorched or dried tobacco is brash and
tasteless and its smoke is unkindly hot to the
tongue and throat.
If you already Camel smoker you have
noticed the improvement in this your favorite
cigarette.
If you don't smoke Camels, try them for just
