JURY TO PROBE
YOUTHS KILLING
CrippIe'S Death Will Be
Investigated Monday
at English.

BIZ Hited Press
ENGLISH, Ind, Nov. 30. - The
fatal shooting of Kenneth Morgan,
18-year-old cripple, by Theodore r.
Elliott, %, state game warden, will
be investigated Monday by the
Crawford county grand jury.
An inquest into the death, which
opened yesterday afternoon, will be
resumed tomorrow, Coroner Louis A.
DOOley announced.
A warrant charging Elliott with
murder was served by Sheriff Ava
Armstrong last night. Young Nor
gan was killed Tuesday in woods
near here. Elliott surrendered to
Sheriff Armstrong Immediately and
told of the shooting.
The warden said that he and an
other warden, Blanchard Ketchum,
were cruising along a country road
when they saw Morgan and asked
if he had a license. The youth
fed. Elliott said and he pursued him
for more than a mile. Suddenly, the
warden declared, Morgan turned
and fired at him, the shots going
through his coat and cap.
Elliott said that he fired then
and the youth dropped. No license
was found in Morgan's clothes
Ketchum Substantiated his part
ners story, but feeling in the county
was so strong against Elliott that he
was taken to the Orange county Jail
at Paoli for safe keeping.

Many Crimes.
BIZ UHitcd Press


DETROIT, Nov. so. - A trail of
daring crime that stretched across
the nation like a red mark was
ended today in a typical gangland
ride for Verne G. Miller, 81

the battered body found wrapped
in quilt in a roadside ditch Vas

identity of his slayers.
"A hundred men in the under
world probably had reason to kill
Miller" Fred Frahm, detective chief,
said.
Many Of the ior crimes of 1e-
cent years were attributed to Miller
and gangster associates. Federal
agents sought him for several
crimes, the most daring of which
was the Union Station massacre ct
Kansas City last summer -Four
peace officers and a federal prisoner
were slain.
Miller also was accused of par
ticipating in the murder of Patrol
man Miles Cunningham of Chicago
following a mail robbery last Sep
TENDER. He was wanted for the
100000 Lincoln (Neb) bank rob-
berry several years ago, and for
many other crimes.
Miller was known as companion
of other prominent figures Of gang
land in the middle west, including
Harvey Bailey and George machine
Cum Kelly, both serving life term
-ntences for the kidnapping of
Charles Urschel, Oklahoma oil mil
HCnaire. He was sought as one Of
the D9rtirin6ntS in the kidn9njng.
