TS- sister was foolish enough to

Oofer When one bank cracks In

soI;darity among the bankers in
tSo South and for that matter ev-
s 1t is true that the big
feiIows are gObbling up the little
fellows right along and soon
tSere will be very few country
bankers lOrding it over the COM
munitv and posing as 'backbOnes'

too darned transparent even when

mohibitiOn agents searching and
saizing male and female it is a
Droblem where to keep the cash.
fortunately the problem is not a
burning one just now.
Well we have another Lingle
murder suspect under arrest here.
Tingbe was a Chicago Tribune I'M
derwOrld tipster who was shot
down in a crowded subway pass
400 by unknown gangsters. Lin
ole was the boon companion of
tbe pOlice commissioner of the
time and between them, it APP
nears they were able to extract
considerable protection money
from the underworld. Lingle gave
the impression that he represent
ed the Tribune and was the unOf-
fetal mOuthpiece of the commits
siOner who was a Tribune man.
Sure the Tribune did not know
that Lingle was getting thOus-
ands a month from the gangtsers
But the Trib was mighty angry
when Lingle was bumped off.
He's a member Of the craft, "
it hOwled and offered a SIS, 600
reward for the arrest and oOnvic-
ton of the slayer or slayers. The
Hearst morning paped did like
wise. Another paper offered S.
OOO. The Daily News did not of
fer a dime. 1t is rumOred that the
News has a lot of "dOpe" that
will not make the Tribune fee
happy when it breaks out il
print.
The Tribune placed its enOrm
Gus resources at the disposal o.
a sO-called 'fbOard of strategy
which was to get to the bottom
of the Staying. The bloodhound
went on the trail and almost ey
cry week a Lingle Slayer" wa
arrested. But the arrests proves
to be buds. Now with much beat
ing of tom toms the Investigator
announce they have the killer il
Leo Brothers of st. Louis. The,
have held him incOmnEunicadO fO
nearly a month and the states at
tOrney's office announced in cOur
while fighting a demand for
writ of habeas corpus that unit
two days ago they had nOthin
on Brothers that would justif
the state in holding him. But h
was held, mind you, by Chicag
Tribune attorney who appears {
boss the states attorneys Offic
Guilty or innocent unless BrC
theirs can dig up some money /
is in a bad spot. Justice come
high in Chicago.
New York is still busy trym
to weed out the bought and pa
for judges from those, if an
who did not have price tag
Some people fear that by Il
time the investigation is finish'
anew crop of judges will be nee
ed. We doubt if any mOer tn;
fifty or sixty of them will
dropped. By that time the publ
will want a fresh thrill. TIL
