It was known that Bob Brady, Harvey Bailey and Wilbur Under hill, all convicted murderers and bank robbers who escaped Memor- ial day from the Kansas State Pen- itentiary, were suspected.
 Edgar Hoover. department of justice chief, announced in Wash ington, that the identity of the kidnapers was thought to be known.
 Urschel was returned in a rented car but did not say who accom- panied him or whether he re- alone. Lamar Seeligson. Urschel's brother-in-law, was fully dressed and wore a leather jacket. It was considered probable he had gone to some outlying community to get the Kidnapped man.
 Shortly after midnight lights snapped on in the darkened man. sion. Although reporters wre not admitted. those who went to the home saw the family greet the kid- nap victim with hysterical joy.
 MT Urschel is in good health," Seeligson said later. "He is very tired and exhausted and went to bed immediately. He doesn't know where ne was nelQ.
 A driving rain was falling when the rented car drove up in the Urschel driveway. Rain had been falling steadily for several hours and obliterated all tracks. The return was as mysterious as the Kidnapping itself.
 He told the story of his captivity as the forces of law moved to find the kidnapers.

 A previous witness. Dr. J. Stew art Rooney, Harvard Npathologist, had testified to finding a gelatin ous-like substance "consistent with capsules" in the dead mans stom- ach.
 Until Russell began his testi- mony, District-Atrorney Hugh A.. Gregg had given no intimation during 13 trial days as to how the state would contend that the widow administered the fethal dose of cy- anide of potassium.
 State medical testimony indicat- ed that the poison had been talk en by itself through the mouth, Tor the mouth and throat bore none of the inevitable burns. It had beer generally believed the government would seek to prove that Mrs. Cos tello used a capsule as the carrier of the cyanide found in her hus- bands system. Just three days before he died mysterious y from poison, Fire Captain Costello arranged to cancel the larger of his two life insur- ance policies, amounting to $3,0OO, | 1t was brought out today at the widow Costello's murder trial. Under date of February IA last, Captain Costello wrote to Samuel Keer. insurance agent as follows: sam:
 T want you to get the papers ready so can cash the $3,000 pol fey in. and get a loan of, $75 on the other one (amounting to $2000). ] left them in my wallet at the sta ton house. Be sure and mark where to sign. I cant carry the $3.000 any longer"
 The government charges that
 Mrs. Jessie Burnett Costello, the
 attractive widow who Is on trial for
 her life, fed her husband cyanide so she could collect his insurance and carry on secret romance with a handsome young married police man.
 The testimony of Keer. the gov. ernment's 46th, and perhaps final witness, was intended among other things, apparently, to discount the defense theory that the fire captain his health shattered. might have lcommitted suicide. The state was expected to contend tat had Costel- To contemplated self-destruction he

ITALY SHOWS , GOOD UPTREND IN BUSINESS
Industries Reflect Devel- Opnient of Home
 Market
By THOMAS B. MORGAN Limited Press Stan Correspondentl

United Press Stan Correspondentl
 Rome-(UP)-Signs that Italian production is on the uptrend are found in the production figures for the first few months of 1888.
 In practically all branches, an increase of production has been registered. Basic industries like agriculture. steel,t transportation, etc, have registered progress over 1882. The tendency. of copsoltdat- ing the home market in the face of the world depression is said to have met with satisfactory results.
 of the Italian industrial and ag- ricuiturai situation, the bulletin of the Association for Italian Stock companies said in it's May report:
 "No substantial changes have occurred of late in the Italian eco+ homie and financial Dituation. The effects of world depression are still felt acutely, but conditions on the home market progressively reflect the tendency of the last few months to adjust business Activities to prevailing price levels and to the reduced demand, especially of export markets. AS export trade l.QcCHHeS, LHc pOSDtbbtICo OA tItS home market are more carefully studied, and in many cases com pensate for outside losses. So it is in the automobile industry, as IS shown by 31,229 new units placed on the roads in 1882 over and above replacements; so it Is in many fields in which home pro- duction is supplying needs hereto fore met by imports. A comparison between produc- ton data for the first quarter. of l1932 and 1883 confirms the im- pression that business activities are stabilizing, with Q. tendency to improve:

EXAMINERS NOTES

The City Council must make the Bond Interest and Sinking Fund
levies each year sufficient to pay all bonds due and to meet the re-
qlirements on those not due and to pay all interest due during the
year as provided by Chapter 100 of the 1881 Session Laws. Such
lev1es have not been sufficient to meet the requirements.
The claims were examined and found to be we'll itemized. A num-
Der of the claims do not have complete dates. Due care must be ex-
ennsed before a claim is allowed for payment to see that the same IS
up to legal requirements as provided by Section 507s R. c. M 1921,
that the same bear complete dates, that the termination is clear and
explicit of the services rendered and supplies and material furnished,
that the same is duly signed and sworn to.
