first degree murder in the death

noted New York attorney. Will

entered for them.
In surprise move, Prosecutor
Duncan C. McCrea placed a first

Jean Miller, "a, whose story led
to confessions by Schweitzer and
the other two girls, Florence and
Loretta Jackson.
Schweitzer and the Jackson
sisters confessed they lured the
distinguished attorney-a nephew
of Chief Justice Charles Evans
HugheS-to a lonely spot in
Rouge Park and shot him to
death for the $134 he carried.
New confessions admitted guilty

KING To CHANGE
BILL

Three definite changes in the

proposal will be urged on the Sen
ate District Committee by Senator
William H. King CD of Utah, he
said today.
The committee will meet to re-
port on the measure as soon as
the conferees on the national bill
have completed their delibera-
tons.
Senator King disclosed that he
had conferred with Edwin Whit
tey of the Committee on Economic
Security and marked up the bill
with what he regarded as neces-
sary amendments.
Senator King proposed to cut
the benefits in the local bill from
rs weeks, as passed by the House,
to Is weeks, as provided in the ma
tional bill; to graduate the pay
roll tax on employers over pc.
Rod of three years from / to 3
per cent as provided in the ma
tional bill, and to urge the COM
mittee to fix a compensatory
clause in the tax provisions to al
low the tax to be lowered or raised
in succeeding years, depending on
the record of employment as
shown by an employer.
If the employer should show a
good record of keeping his en-
ployes on the pay rol his tax would
be lowered. In the opposite case
the tax would be raised.
