NEW YORK. May 13.-A crime syn
dicate specializing In merciless 'in-
surance killings" was envisioned tonight
by the district attorneys office, as an
attempt was made to connect eight men,
now held in the alleged staying of an
unemployed fireman. with other sudden
deaths.
Among the prisoners are an under
taker. a physician. q chemist and the
owner Of what police described as a
speakeasy.
One set Of Investigators added two
new and more bizarre methods to the
list Of ways which the prisoners are
charged with using in their attempt to
do away with Michael Malloy, the fire.

surance taken out on his life.
Rough Methods Fatal.
They said the victim had been fed
oysters soaked in wood alcohol and
sardines filled with chooped-up bits OF
tin, In addition to being piled with
cheap liquor, run over by q taxicab
while intoxicated, given wood alcohol to
drink. and finally killed with illuminat-
ing gas.
Meanwhile, another set Of detectives,
working on other sudden deaths be-
lieved to have been brought about for
the purpose Of collecting insurance,
concentrated on the case Of Mabel
Betty" Carlson of Washington. D. C.
They said that after suffering from
chronic alcoholism for several weeks.
she died from pneumonia in an apart
ment maintained by Anthony Marino,
one Of the prisoners and the alleged
speakeasy owner.
It was Marino, they said, who was
the beneficiary Of her insurance policy
and who was one of those sharing in
the insurance collected after Malloy's
death. Miss Carlsonis insurance came
to $4,000.

Miss Carlson's death certificate bore
this notation, mo suspicious circum-
stances" but detectives said they had
learned that while intoxicated she had
been exposed to cold air and doused
with water, which brought on the
death-provokins pneumonia.
In the case Of the death-resisting
Malloy, police said, those who sought
to kill him finally got discouraged and
decided to use dummy"
As District Attorney Samuel Foley
described this episode in the weird
case, an unidentified derelict was picked
up as q likely substitYee, was stupified
with liquor and then Vas run over by
an automobile, after his pockets had
been stuffed with papers to indicate he

HIGH UTILITY
RETURN UPHELD
Indiana Federal Court
Judges Still Hold for
61-2 Per Cent Earning.

Federal court judges in Indiana
still are holding for a 615 per cent
return in utility cases, it appeared
today.
This was disclosed in the new in
terlocutory decree received by At
torney-General Philip Lutz Jr., in
the Logansport gas rate case. 1t
was handed down by three-j Judge
court at South Bend, whose original
order was sent back for explanatory
details by the United States supreme
court
Judges were Robert c. Baltzell,
Thomas W. Slick and Will M.
Sparks. The latter is from the
federal court of appeals at Chicago,
while the other two have Indiana
district benches.
In their new decree they set out
that rates set by the Indiana public
service commission for gas service
from the Indiana Public Service
Corporation at Logansport, Peru and
Wabash would not yield more than
a Az per cent return on fair value
of property involved in the service.
1t is reasonably probable that the
return would be less than Az per
cent" the decree sets out. 1t con-
tinueS:
THE fair annual return which the
plaintiff is entitled to earn on the
fair and reasonable value of the
property, used and useful, in fur
nishing and supplying gas to the
public is probably not less than 61s
per cent"
