To Arrest 9 in Lynching

his letter arrives at Mr.. Lanes
office, since the Somerset county
States attorney said he explained
fully in his answer to the attor-
ney generals letter
Mr.. Lane wrote Robins saying
he believed the nine persons
named should be brought before
a magistrate for a hearing for the
purpose of being held for the
action of the grand jury"
Besides giving the names and
addresses of each of the nine per
sons he alleges participated in the
lynching, together with their occu-
pations, the attorney general told
the part that each of the accused
played in the killing of the col
ored murderer.
Parts They Played
The lynching occurred when
George Armwood, colored, who
was being held in the Princess
Anne Jail for an attack on IL
year-old white woman. was taken
from the Jail by a mob who had
gathered that night and battered
the door of the Jail down. The
mob dragged Armwood through
the streets, hanged him and then
burned his body.

BIG PAYMENT
TOFOX, FILM
KING, Barred
Senate ProberS DeIve Into
Reasons for 100000
Advance to Magnate
By International News Service

A mysterious 100000 pay
ment to William Fox, the film
magnate, in 1929 by Harley L.
Clarke, member of a syndicate
seeking control of Fox Films,
was aired today at the Senate
banking inquiry.
The syndicate, headed by
Clarke and Albert H. Wiggin.
then head of the Chase National
Bank, ultimately drove Fox out
of his film business. The syndi-
Gates fight was financed by the
Chase Bank, which loaned $72,
100000 to the cause from August
7, 1929, to May 7, 1880.
Bank Took Heavy Loss
The contest resulted in terrific
losses for the Chase Bank and
the syndicate members.
Clarke told how the General
Theaters Equipment Corporation
was organized to acquire Fox
Films. A series of motion picture
equipment companies were picked
up by the G. T. E. before the
battle was declared on Fox.
Clarke said the 100000 was
paid Fox in 1929 to settle his
claims against the Mitchell
Camera Company, one of the
small concerns acquired by the
syndicate group. Clarke also
gave Fox $4,000 shares of G. T.
E. stock and bought it back at
$50 share.
"That was a gift of $75O,OOO
in addition to the $2,OOO,OOO in
CASH."

ANOTHER SANTA CLAUS
Ferdinand Pecora, the Senate's
special counsel, observed:
"Wen, there's another Santa
Claus in the record"
The Mitchell Camera Company
deal produced another mysterious
100000 fund that Clarke said
might have to be paid to H. E.
Van Duyne, a Californian. Clarke
said he was disputing the payment
with Van Duyne but had depos-
tied the money in escrow in the
Continental Illinois Trust in Chi
cago. Later Clarke revealed Van
Duyne claimed the 100000 as a
brokers' fee in the Mitchell cam
era deal. Pecora decided to sub
poena the banks records to solve
the mystery.
