SUSPECT
IN CITY Staying
KentuCkian Is Implicated by
Former Roommate in
Chinese Death.

Suspicion in the shooting yester-
day of Tom Lee, Y, Chinese laun-
dryman murdered by a customer in
an argument over a shirt, today
fell on a Kentuckian who previous
ly had quarreled violently with an
other Chinese laundryman.
Police were told of the man,
whose first name is Matthew, by
Aaron Pollard, ia North Noble
street, with whom the suspect had
roomed. The only identification Of
the murderer yesterday was the
name Matthews on laundry ticket.
Mr.. Pollard told police that the
suspect had threatened some time
ago to get" laundryman named
Sam Mays, whose place of business
was said to be on Michigan street,
after an argument similar to yes
terday's. He described the suspect
as a heavy drinker.
The murderer, who kidnapped two
Indianapolis motorists in his flight,
apparently made good his escape in
the direction Of Frankfort and La
fayette.
Lee was accused by Matthews of
returning only two shirts when
three we're due, according to wit
neSSes.
Lees inability to speak English
fuently also figured in the argu-
ment Finally, Matthews demanded
the third shirt, or IS cents, only to
meet with fiat refusal He fired.
The two men who were forced to
drive Matthews were H. K. Jones,
1914 Lowell avenue, who took the
fugitive to the intersection of Mich
igan road and Kessler boulevard,
and Howard F. Foltz, 3510 Wash
ington boulevard, whose car was
stolen by Matthews after Foltz
had been forced to drive him to
Lebanon.
State police and authorities of
Frankfort and Lebanon joined vain
" in the hunt for Matthews.

against, rather than on behalf
of, the reactionaries. Anyhow I
believe this: The German i'm
perial crown lies on the battlefield
and I doubt whether the German
people wishes to fight for it there"
The princes face became a
tragic mask. A friend nudged him
jibingly. He stirred, turned and
smiled wanly.
Roehm, I am convinced, was a
Hitler fanatic, a Hitherto who
faced the firing squad still be-
lieving all the wild things Hitler
used to below from the stump.
An immoral monster, if you will,
but loyal to his old buddy.
II r.
DERHAPS it is Hitler who is
l. changing and who finds his
old intimates embarrassing. Un-
questionably, he has veered great
ly to the right.

said Roehm, was to protect Hit
ler's ideas from MarXism on the
one hand, and reaction on the
other. But while they did not de-
ceive themselves that Marxism is
dead in Germany, he believed it
was no longer a serious menace.
=
DAUSING, Roehm lifted his
l. eyes and looked in the direc-
ton of the Hohenzollern's table.
Frequently" he said, "the ideas
reaction and monarchy are con-
sidered equivalent, although at
bottom they have nothing to do
with each other. But when reac-
ton writes the word monarchy on
its shield it is doing no service to
the monarchical idea"
Prince August Wilhelm gazed at
the tablecloth.
IF the German people wished
to give itself again an overload"
Roehm pursued, sit would do it

doomed the goal toward which Hit
Ter and his aids would point their
third reich. The following were
some of the problems which the
cabinet must decide:
/. The length to which the cleans
ing of the NaZi household should go
"a reign of terror or an amnesty
reorganization of the cabinet and
the storm troop organization.
2. The political futures of Won
Papen, and Herman Goering, min"
lister of aviation.
3. The future approach to the
Jewish problem.
4. The policy to be adopted to-
ward the Catholics and the non-
Nazi Evangelical churchmen.
5. Action to deal with an economic
and financial situation so serious
that had it not been for the Nazi
party crisis, the worlds attention
would have been drawn to it.
Citizenry Is Fearful
To Germans, ill informed, Some~
what fearful, and completely con-
fused, these we're problems of the
moment
None knew when relative or a
friend might come under the atten-
ton of the political police or the
SIS, the crack black uniformed
picked men of the storm troops,
100000 in number.
The newspapers, under close re-
pressive control, gave no picture Of
the sanguinary end of the first
period of the third reich and the
dawn of the second one.
Nazi propaganda busted itself
with explaining the weekend revolt
and minimizing it, The keynote Of
the explanation was shown clearly
at a. monster demonstration last
night at Essen, in the heart of the
industrial district.
Swear Loyalty to Hitler
Several hundred thousand per-
sons, formed in six big squares, in
Guiding storm troopers on their one
month enforced vacation, the SIS
IIbcIl, lNdAA pOllOlCdL VI , dIhHoIlOiAS
and townspeople, met to swear all
legiance to Hitler.
Each speaker tried to make it
clear that there had been no
mutiny of storm troops-that there
had been few criminals" in the
ranks who were removed.
1t seemed likely that even if the
cabinet did issue the promised list
of removals" the total would not
be final.
Goering seemed emerging as a
mysterious superpoWer. It was
known that Hitler hesitated 10 pro-
coed against those recreant com-
rades who precipitated the revolt.
Goering displayed no hesitation.
He acted with stern and merciless
determination to cleanse the Nazis.
Yet he is of the moderate element
politically, and the second phase Of
the Nazi movement, it was indi-
Gated, might be of less radical ma
ture.

FRANCE AIDED
NAz| REVOLT
LONDON HEARS
Anti-HitIer ConspiratorS
Dealt With Paris,
Is Report.
BY FREDERICK KUN
United Press staff Correspondent
lConvripht. 1894. BY United Press(

LONDON, July 3.-Charges by
the Hitler government that the late
General Kurt Won Schleicher and
his fellow conSpiratorS were dealing
with an unnamed foreign power re-
ceived Substantiation today from the
diplomatic representative OF an I'M
portant European power.
"On the basis of sensational in
formation now available" he told
the United Press, the Schleicher
conspiracy designed to overthrow
Hitler had wide ramiflcations, and
indications point to connections IN
France" won Schleicher and his
wife were slain in Berlin on Satur-
day while resisting arrest)
The official German version of
the plot failed to name the nation
alleged to have been involved, al
though the entire account was re-
garded as a thinly yelled reference
to France. The report was ridi-
culed abroad, and the French gov
eminent, after demanding that Hit
Ter name the power, issued a cate
gorical denial of any association
with the alleged cospiratorS.
Journalist "GO-Between"
The diplomat, who claims to have
inside knowledge of the affair, how
ever, goes so far as to claim that a
"well-known German journalist in
Paris acted as the go-between with
Won Schleicher and the French au-
thorities."
He believes that the revelation of
this evidence induced the aged
President Palu Won Hindenburg, as
a matter of patriotism and pride, to
dispatch his kilograms to Hitler and
General Hermann Goering, con-
doning the wholesale executions in
Germany and sanctioning the ruth
less suppression of the conspiracy"
AS further evidence of French
pre- knowledge of the conspirators'
plans, he pointed to the report that
Foreign Minister Louis Barthou told
the foreign minister of another Eu-
ropean power in Geneva recently
that France was unwilling to grant
the Hitler government the arms
concessions it demanded at the
present stage of affairs, because the
days of the Hitler regime were
numbered.
Named Won Schleicher
The diplomat also charged ION
reliable information" that Mr.. Bar
thou had mentioned Won Schleicher,
in confidence, as the ringleader of
the group that would GUST Hitler.
He recalled, as well, that during
the days of his own chancellorship
Won Schleicher conducted certain
secret negotiations with the French
general staff, and that he rapidly
was approaching an understanding
when he was forced to yield his
CHARACTERISTIC to Adolf Hitler.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-07-03

Significantly, to this query, the
reply of most of the Nazi enthusi-
aSts is:
The purging of the party must
go on until the last traitor is shot"
Nazi leaders, still considering the
extent to which their punishment of
rebels shall go, began today to count
up the dead.
Authorities were compiling a cas-
ualty list, promised for publication
after cabinet approval, and sought
final-or semi final-reports from
the provinces.
Deaths announced by the govern
ment or verified from authentic
sources included:
General Kurt Won Schleicher and
his wife, shot in resisting arrest"
Ernst Roehm, storm troop chief
of staff. executed Sunday evening.
Heinrich Klausener, Catholic
action leader, shot in mysterious
circumstances.
Seven intimate coleaders of
Roehm, executed - Schnsidhuber,,
Heines, Ernst, Kayn, Schmid, Heide-
brek and Sprete.
Gregor Strasser, former Nazi lead
er, suicide"
Hubert Won Bose, ice-Chancellor
Won Papen's secretary, shot while
resisting search of the chancellery."
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-07-03

This is a revised version of his
death, first announced as suicide.
Alexander Chaser, Munich lawyer,
and Karl zehntner, Munich hotel
man, executed.
Nineteen storm troop leaders eX-
ecuted at Lichterfelde Cadet school
here. Names have not been an
nounced. The storm troop leader,
Ernst. mentioned among Roehm's
friends, was shot there also.
Eight other unnamed storm troop
leaders shot elsewhere.
The shooting of three more prom
inent persons was reported today in
reliable sources.
They included Gustav Won Kahr,
Catholic leader in Munich; Colonel
Won Bredow, former right-hand
man of the late General Schleicher,
one of the revolt leaders, and Ed
gar Jung, who wrote Vice-Chan-
cellor Franz Won Papen's disputed
Marburg speech, attacking radical
Nazis. Jung and Kahr were ex-
ecuted.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-07-03

The cabinet appeared con-
WINGED that it held the whip
hand in Germany and that the
revolt was over.
This was expressed in decree
by Hitler announcing that further
violations of tie governments de-
cree suppreSsing the revolt would
be dealt with in the ordinary courts.
The new decree said:
Measures for suppression OF the
Roehm revolt were concluded on
july /. He who on his own initia-
tive is guilty of any act of violence
in the course of this action, regard
less of his intentions, will hence
forth be handed over to normal JUS
tice for prosecution.
(Signed) ADOLF HITLER"
More Are Executed
The term course of this action"
refers to the violent measures
adopted by the government to sup
press the revolt.
With the estimated death toll of
the revolt standing at probably
fifty, several new executions were
revealed today. They included Gus
tav Won Kahr, Catholic leader in
Munich, who was one of the leaders
in suppressing Hitler's beer hall
putsch' there in 1923-the first out
break of the NaZi revolution. 1t was
Kahr who gave the order to fire on
the beer hall plotters.
Another to die was Edgar Jung,
an assistant of Won Papen's, who
wrote his Marburg speech attacking
the radical NaZi elements, starting
the present crisis. The third was
Colonel Won Bredow, former right
hand man of the late General Kurt
Won Schleicher, one of the revolt
leaders who also was executed.
COmmunique Is Issued

days cabinet meeting announced
the passage of the law legalizing
the emergency measures undertaken
for suppression of the ''treacherous

"At today's session of the cabinet,

He emphasized that lightning-like
action was necessary to avert the
danger of destruction of thousands

The aftermath of the bloody Nazi
housekeeping continued. There still
were occasional executions and
sporadic incidents of dramatic
nature as new suspects were seized.
