SAY MURDER
PLOT IS FRUSTRATED
Four Men and Women Arrested;
Said PIotters Against La
Dor Union Officials

Washington, March 18.-(F-An
alleged murder plot against officials
of q labor union was foiled Thurs
day night by an 18th hour police
raid in which four men and wom-
an were arrested.
The plotters, police headquarters
announced, had intended to kill c.
E. HAIRY, representative Of the In
ternational Union Of Operating En-
gineers, later in the night when he
left an executive meeting Of the UNI
ion. John Possehl. president of the
organization, and Frank E. Langdon,
editor of the Unions Journal, were
to have been murdered later.
Police said they obtained evidence
Of the attempt by listening in on
conversations of the group after
anonymous telephone messages to
the intended victims gave the tip.
These union officials figured last
year in another attempt which near
ly cost Langdon his life. He, Pos
sehl and Arthur M. Uddell. the1,
president Of the union. were trapped
in cafeteria by a gunman. Lang
don had an eye shot out and other
wise was seriously wounded, while
Huddells pocketbook stopped q bull
let at his heart. Haury was attacked
in public by q woman with q horse
whip just before the first murder
attempt. She accused him OF keep
ing her husband out Of work.
Trouble In the union, police said
was caused by alleged discrimination
in the order In which employment Il
assigned. The union design q tie &
members available for each job as II
offers.

BLUEbEARD SLAYER
AWAITS EXECUTION
Powers, Who Wooed Women BY
Mail and Killed Them, Will
Hang Friday Night

Moundsville, w. Va, March 49,
P-Harry F.. Powers who wooed
women by mail and then killed them,
is ready to die Friday night on the
scaffold.
While his attorney, j. Ed Law.
sought a last minute stay Of execu-
ton, the pudgy "bluebeard" said he
didn't think the move would do
much good"
Law during the last few days has
been frantically seeking to halt the
hanging through various devices.
Thursday he telephoned Governor
Conley to ask a stay to allow appeal
to the U. s. supreme court. The
plea was denied.
Three times the state supreme court
refused to intervene and Judge VIII
liam Baker, in the u. s. district court
at Clarksburg denied petition for q
writ Of habeas corpus.
The court found Powers guilty Of
Staying Mrs. Dorothy Pressler Lemke.
NOrthboro, Mass. Powers was also
indicted for killing Mrs Asia Buick
Eicher and her three children, OF Park
Ridge. III. All five bodies were found
buried in ditch near the Powers
quiet dell home. The condemned man
maintains he Is innocent, that the
killings were the work Of two other
men who have not been located.
While preparations for the execu-
ton at . o'clock progress, Powers re-
fuses in his cell to discuss the affair,
He said Thursday he had written q
song which would be published and
the proceeds given TO his wife. He
seems to have overcome his nervous
ness.
