, PASADENA, Cal, Dec. IA GIN
E.).-Secret love twisted BY jeal
otlsy into a desire for revenge was
the motive for the mysterious
murder of handsome DR.. Leonard
,siever, A, Pasadena dentist
.Aesthete and socialite, detectives
believe.
DR.. Siever was ambushed and
shot to death in the rain-Swept
gloom outside the Pasadena Scot
tiSh Rite Cathedral as he started
to enter his car. Police expressed
belief that a woman had emerged
from his romantic past to fire the
fatal shots.
Patients Questioned
The mystery ca-5ed police to
start questioning DR.. siever's pa
tients In quest Of clue.
One Of the dentists patients,
Mrs. Peggy La Jotte, pretty red
haired wife Of Charles La Jotte,
aviator, revealed that she and
her husband had been patients OF
DR.. Siever and had met him so
cially, but she was unable to
throw any light on possible mo-
tive for the Staying.
A Pasadena physician, who was
friendly with one of the women
to whom DR.. Siever had been
attentive, gave police information
that enabled them to fix the
approximate time Of the murder
! rs between $50 and 7:15 o'clock
Tuesday night.
DR.. Siever left his office about
! 500 p. m. and at 7:15 was to
have called for Mrs. Frances
Coen Cooke, socially prominent
divorce, to escort her to the
home Of Mrs. Edna Herbst in
''MillionaireS' Row."
DR.. Sewers body was dis.
covered beside his expensive
sedan just before dawn yesterday
by a milkman.
He had been shot twice
through the base of the skull
and through the heart.
Ills W&CCQ ana WdI1eC were MISS
ing, but police said this probably
was the slayer's method of dis
guising the motive.
A cryptic note marked "11:30
Tuesday" found on DR.. Siever's
body was explained by Miss Mary
Rockwell, a pretty patient of the
society dentist, as the time of
her appointment with DR.. Siever
whom she said she had known
for several years.
Kissed Doctor GoOdby
Miss Rockwell revealed that she
had kissed DR.. Siever as she pre-
pared to leave his office and had
said "here's q Christmas kiss for
you" She explained she had
been one of his patients for sew
eral years and that their rela-
tions were not romantic.
DR.. Siever, Miss Rockwell said,

AS often as possible (other con-

it is cast so that the hounds

This is important to remem-

INDICTED FOR
CORRUPTION
Secrecy Surrounds Federal
Action After Grant
County Probe.
BY LOWELL NUSBAUM
Times staff Writer

FIT. WAYNE, Ind, Feb. A.
Secrecy this afternoon surrounded
fifty indictments returned by the
federal grand jury after an investi-
cation of alleged corrupt activities
by officials of Marion and Grant
county.
No names were made public and
Judge Thomas w. Slick directed the
secret true bills be sent Immediately
to the marshal of the northern fed
eral court district at South Bend.
Service of capiases is expected to be
started not later than Tuesday.
1t is reported that part of the in
dictments have a direct bearing on
affairs in Grant county and Marion.
The county has been the focal point
of a series of political upheavalS in
the last two years.
Officials standing By"
At Marion, city and county Off
Gals were standing by" waiting
for the storm to break Most Off
Gals of the city and county, it is
known, had received reports of DO
lice heads Of Marion and former
city and county officers testifying
before the federal grand jury in the
last week.
According to reports, the grand
jury's investigation opened with a
probe of city affairs since 1929. This.
it is understood, was followed by a
quiz into county affairs.
Stories of the grand iury's probe
have been rampant in Marion and,
several months ago, reports came
from the Grant county town that
federal agents were conducting I'M
dercOver work.
Bombings Believed Probed
1t is understood that much of the
information was obtained from
underworld characters and that the
same staff of federal probers who
staged the Muncie quiz were lead
ing the Marion case.

Several important murder investiga-
tlons and trials have been handled
by city and county officers.
In 1881, the state watched ac-
tlvities in Marion when James M

charged that the town was "seeth-
ing in corruption" Ogden, follow
ing his charge, appeared before the
Grant county grand jury and had
undercover operatives in the town.
NO indictments resulted from the
fareup, however.

FARM REVOLT GROWS:
FIRST BLOODSHED STIRS

THREE MEN ARE SHOT
Defiance of Officials in Tax

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-The
first bloOdshed of farmers
present revolt against bur
densome conditions intensified
today a rebellion that gradu-
ally spread from the Atlantic
seaboard to the Rocky noun
tains.
Through the corn belt the situa-
ton was made more spprehensive
by milk price war. Three states
were affected by the controversy as
dairymen protested against low
prices.
A South Dakota farmer and his
two sons were wounded by gunfire
when they attempted to run a
gantlet Of other farmers blocking
roads to markets.
r. D. Markell, 81, wealthy Union
county IS. d. farmer, was injured
seriously by rifle and shotgun slugs.
His sons, Harry 30, and Keats, "a,
were less seriously hurt.
Other Casualties Reported
Markell and his sons were taking
1000 gallons of milk to Sioux City,
Ia. About two miles west of Sioux
City in South Dakota, nearly seventy
farmers placed logs across the road,
stopped the Markell truck and or
dered them to turn back. They
refused. During the argument that
followed the shots were fired.
A third son, Frank, %, was I'M
injured.
Two other casualties we're re-
ported from Iowa. N. Cochran. OF
Neville, Ia, who was said to have
participated in picket lines, was
treated at a hospital for head
wounds and cuts. An unidentified
man was treated at a doctors of
flee for similar injuries.
Wisconsin was the other state
entangled in the milk price dispute.
1t also was reported that eastern
Iowa farmers would be asked to
join the strike.
Tax Sales Prevented
Meanwhile, defiance Of officials
attempting foreclosure sales on
farms continued.
Farmers in states as far west as
Colorado, which heretofore has not
been inVol"ed in the revolt, massed
at forced sales to bid in property
at penny prices and return it to the
owner.
Farmers in several other states
which have not previously been
drawn into the disorder, including
Indiana, New York and Missouri,
threatened similar proceedings.
The sales, postponed in Iowa sev@
eral times, again were delayed in
several sections. Farmers attended
in groups to prevent prospective
bidders from participating.

There are two suggested roads out

The first, which congress is tread

The second, whose followers ap-

The first is broadly known as con-

debt charge downward TO Offset the
rise of the dollars value since 1929.
Imitation seeks to bring the dol
