Chairman James E. Showalter, of
the state tax board, expressed as

Patronage Is Withdrawn
From Congressman for
Attack on Hoover.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Repre-
sentative Louis T. McFadden of
Pennsylvania, violent opponent of
the debt moratorium, has been out
laYed by the White House and Re
publican party leaders for his
scorching personal attack on Presi-
dent Hoover in the house few days
ago.
They have selected the most effec-
tive punishment possible against a
congressman by depriving him of
his patronage rights, the power to
appoint federal officers in his dis
trict, which is ready aid in run
ming party machine and getting
votes.
The punitive measure was an
on the White House door,
step late Thursday by Senator
Reed (Rep., Pa after a conference
with President Hoover. Reed said
further that he would do all in his
power to defeat his colleague for
reelection, and that means the
Mellon political machine is thumbs
down" on McFadden.
For all practical purposes, Nc
Fadden is dead politically" Reed
declared.
McFadden temporarily withheld
his fire while he conferred with
friends on the punitive measures
and gathered additional material
for new assault on the morato-
rum.
He may bring the administration
formally to the atten-
ton of the house, and thus open
to general debate the most senSa-
tional breach in Republican ranks
in recent years.
McFadden was snubbed further
by the White House today, when
he was not invited to a breakfast
conference of house leaders with
President Hoover.

ALBANY, n. Y, Dec. 10.
Jack (Legs) Diamond, New
York City and state gangster,
met gangster's doom today,
hardly ten hours after he had
laughed at the laws effort to
curb his activities.
His naked body was found
sprawled across a bed in cheap
rooming house at a. m. One bull
let from a heavy caliber pistol had
ploughed through his temple. Two
others had gone through the side
of his face.
Death was the griSly final curtain
to Diamonds hair raising, notorious
career and the finale to his victory
celebration" which began in Troy,
where a jury Thursday night de-
cided he was not guilty of a charge
of kidnapping and torturing Cat
skill mountain farmer.
Cheered by Crowd
The courtroom spectators APP
plauded and a crowd Of young
women paid him adulation before
he came here, where death ended
the celebration and a long career
outside the law.
At noon today after six hours Of
furious, frantic investigation, Al
bany police still we're uncertain, not
only of who brought Diamond to
account, but of the details of his
last few hours of life.
They held his weeping and hys-
terical widow, Mrs. Alice Diamond,
who was found huddled in chair
beside his body. She didn't want
to be taken away, and she fought
with teeth and nails.
Widow Denies Guilt
They carried her down the stairs
to the patrol wagon, but after
morning Of questioning she had
helped them little, beyond Sobbing
out:
ooh, I didn't do it, didn't do it."
At the precinct station, where the
investigation conferred, newspaper
reporters were excluded. A large
crowd had gathered outside.
In addition to Mrs. Diamond de-
tectives questioned Mrs. Laura
Wood, proprietor of the rooming
house, and her sister, Betty Smith.
They sought Jack Dalton, Dia-
monds former chauffeur.
While indiSputable evidence was
lacking, police believed that only
Diamond, and possibly Mrs. Dia-
mond, was in the room when the
assassins forced their way in. They
thought the victory party" had
been held in Troy, and that Dia-
mond and his wife had separated,
agreeing to meet again In the Al
bany rooming house.
Gang Foes Suspected
Diamond arrived first. Police
could not tell if Mrs. Diamond
reached the room to find her hus-
band dead on the bed or if she ar
rived in time to be a witness to
his Staying.
Mrs. Diamond, fearing that she
might be accused of the Staying.
Historically denied time and again
that she had fired the shots. But
