PLOT TO SLAY
CERMAK TOLD
IN COURT

CHICAGO, Sept. 81 GN.S)
Testimony that the Capone gang
had imported a hired killer to as
sassinate the late Mayor Anton
Cermak was on record today in
the trial of Detective Harry Lang
as defense witnesses took the
stand to describe the shooting of
Frank THE Enforcer" Nitti, Ca
pone syndicate leader.
Quoting Mayor Cermak himself,
Sergt. Harry Miller said that
Louis Little New York" Cam
pagnia, gangster and ex-convict,
had been engaged by AL Capone's
followers to kill the mayor. Mil
Ter had accompanied Lang on the
office-building raid in which Nitti
was shot three times and seriously
wounded.
Revenge Sought
Sergeant Miller said the mayor
had told him that he was to be
killed for trying to drive the
hoodlums from the city before the
Worlds Fair opened.
Mayor Cermak was subsequently
killed by an assassin's bullet in
Florida.
Miller and Lang were on duty
at the mayors office at the time
Of the Nitti shooting. Mayor
Cermak, Miller testified, gave
them the room number in the
La Sale -Wacker Building where
"Crime, Inc" had its headquarters
and suggested that the raid be
made.
The Sergeant said Lang pre-
Ceded him into the office. Three
shots followed and Miller said he
heard someone saying, "spit it
out" Nitti had been trying to
swallow a piece of paper.
Shot Three Times
Entering the room, Miller tes-
Titled that the Capone gangster
lay on the floor and Lang, with
a bullet wound in the arm said,
''he shot me-" Nitti recovered.
The State charges that Detec-
tive Lang shot Nitti without
provocation and wounded himself
In the arm to support his plea
Of self-defense. Testimony of
Nitti himself and another officer,
Sergt. Chris Callahan, supported
the States contention.
Detective Lang was scheduled
to take the stand today and tell
his version of the shooting. The
suspended officer has threatened
to "blow the lid off Chicago
politics" when he testifies.

Mysticism.


In this place I have frequently writ
ten disparaging note to and Of those
who persist In believing that peychol-
ogy Is . mystical sort Of discipline.
Now comes one OF my readers who
wants to know how I can account for
Sir Oliver Lodge, who ranks as one
yet believes it Is possible 70 commuri-
cate with spirits In another world"
The explanation Is rather simple. Sir
Oliver has been living through . period
Of contemplative loneliness. We all
feel that way when they are gone"
Grief Is q question of blocked habits
and nothing more. Habits demand at
tention. II the world of reality does
not yield satisfaction, then theory
must.
The unknown and unknowable has
always been the mother of theUy. The
science OF physics has always been baf-
fling. The more one knows about il
the less certain one feels about its
premises. As a physicist, Sir Oliver
has gone deeply into the question Of
the definition Of matter. So far as
know, only the amateurs In that science
understand what matter Is. When
physicists tell us that matter Is not
substance, but energy, the door to
mysticism has opened. And Sir Oliver,
I fancy. has stepped inside its portal
the portal of something more ultimate
than anything his laboratory is able
to control. II Sir Oliver as scientist
had been . biologist instead of q
physicist, he might have found 1t more
difficult to feel that he had commune
Gated with the spirit Of his son Ray

- REAKER THE GRACKLE had
begun to think that Mrs. Crea-
I ker was crazy. She had just
~ informed him that this year
they would have their home in
the Osprey Apartments, and that didn't
mean a think to Creaker.
MY dear" said he, you'll have to
talk sense if you want me to understand
what YOU are talking about. Who ever
heard of the Osprey Apartments?"
Mrs. Crackers eyes twinkled. You
have now" said she sweetly. There
they are right up there with Mrs. Osprey
sitting on the edge"
But that is nothing but a nest" pro-
tested Creaker
Mrs. Creaker nodded. "Quite true"
said she. That Is all it is now, just
one great big nest, but when We get
through there will be two nests there
and I would not be at all surprised If
there were more. So I called 1t the
Osprey Apartments. Can you think OF
a better name?"
mo" replied Creaker. "The name is
all right, but I think you are joking
What do you mean by saying that there
will be two nests there and perhaps
more?"
Just that" replied Mrs. Creaker.
