back to Chicago today TO lie IN
state until funeral services are held
Thursday morning.
The body Of the owner Of the Chi

The body was accompanied by the
old Romans only son, j. Louis Comis-
key, and Harry GrahineF, secretary OF
the White Sox and Comiskey's closest
eon6dAnt.
Comiskey's last illness came upon
him while he still was trying to build
q club to replace his American League
champions of 1919. which he wrecked
after the scandal which followed the
World Series that year. He retired
TO virtual seclusion several years ago
when his health began to fail.

By United Press

6U Cn1t60 4TCoS
LIMA, O., May Louis KieI, 48,
a night watchman at the Lima
state hospital for criminal insane,
was strangled to death early today
by inmates, one Of whom escaped
from the hospital
Kiel's slayers were John Powell,
"a, Of Columbus and Samuel Nelson,
10, Negro, of Cleveland, according
to DR.. w. H. Vorbau, superintendent
Of the institution.
Powell was caught by other guards
as he attempted to escape through
high window. Nelson MANAGED
to get through the window, however,
and was being hunted by city and
county officers.
Kiel was attacked as he was max
ing his rounds Of the ward in which
the two prisoners we're confined. He
suddenly was pounced upon and
dragged into a lavatory, where his
assailants throttled him.
Attracted by the scuffle, guards
rushed into the dorn1itory in tine
to seize Powell. A posse Immediately
was organized, but the fugitive had
vanished.
DR.. Vorbau, in revealing the at
tack, intimated it was caused by
crowded condition at the institu-
ton. He said forty prisoners were
occupying quarters originally pre-
pared for thirty-hve.
The Negro prisoner who escaped
was serving q sentence from Cuya-
hoga county for auto theft in Mans
field reformatory, but later was
transferred to the hospital. Powell
was removed from the same insti-
tuition, where he had been commit
ted for robbery.

Convicted LingIe SIayer's
Sentencing Stayed.

CHICAGO, May 1.-Attorneys for
Leo v. Brothers, 80, st. Louis
gangster, awaiting sentence to
fourteen years on a charge of naur-
dering Alfred j. Lingle, Chicago
Tribune reporter, last June 8, today
asked Judge Joseph SABBATH to set
aside the jury's conviction and Or
der a new trial.
The case was continued until
Monday after the entire morning
had been used for arguments.
Brothers was convicted one month
ago, but the motion for a new trial
delayed imposition of sentence. He
is imprisoned in the county jail.
Brothers new attorney, James c..
O'Brien, who won the nickname,
Ropes" by obtaining a succession
of hanging verdicts while assistant
states attorney, became active in
the case for the first time, when he
presented the defense arguments.
O'Brien attacked Judge Sabath's
instructions to the jury, declaring
they were unfair to Brothers, and
warranted setting aside the verdict
and holding second trial. The de-
tense arguments conferred on this
point.

LIGHT COMPANY
VALUE REDUCED
Decreased Earnings Basis
of State Board Act.

Taxable valuation Of the Indian
apolis Power and Light Company
was set today by the state tax COM
mission at a figure s349,67 below
that fixed in 1880.
The new valuation is $32, 400, 100,
which does not include the new
Harding street plant, valuation Of
which will be fixed by the county
board of review.
James Showalter, tax board chair
man, said the decreased earnings
were responsible for the reduction.
A recent report filed with the
public service commission. showed
some reduction in gross revenues
and increased dividends on 5000
shares of common stock.
