An inquest was held at the D. c.
Moigue, and Mahoney, CarnellS
mother, and a man who was later
released, and Carnell were ordered
held forSaction of the Grand Jury.
With Mahoney and Mrs. Sulli-
van being held, police carried on a
relentless search for the murderer.
Two months after he had walked
out of the bus he was picked up in
a rooming house in East Liberty,
a suburb of Pittsburgh.
CARMEL submitted quietly to ar
rest informing detectives:
"YOu we're lucky. 1 was plan
ming to leave tomorrow for
South America"
He seemed to derive consider
able amusement from the fact
that he had eluded police on the
bus. He said:

CARMEL and Mahoney were both
indicted by the District Grand
Jury on charge of murder while
perpetrating a felony. Mrs. Sulli-
van was released.
William J. Collins, Assistant
District Attorney, won convictions
on second degree murder with life
imprisonment, after a trial of two
weeks in District Supreme Court.
CARMEL, termed by the prose
cutor and detectives as a really
tough guy" described on the
witness stand how, with police
combing the city on the night of
the killing, he had walked several
blocks in his blood-saturated
clothing to his mothers house

knowledge of local criminals sug-
gested that the boy might have
been taken to deserted gamblers
hangout known as "Scotty's
Place."
Accompanied by youngstown
and Niles police officers, the
Oman drove out to "Scotty's
Place" located on the main high
way between Niles and Youngs-
town.
AS they entered the ramshackle
house officers thought they heard
noise, but the place was de-
serted. However, on the floor in
the front room was mattress
covered with a sheet and a pill
low. Both mattress and pillow
were still warm and bore the I'M
print of human body.
On a nearby shelf lay a loaf of
bread, some eggs, lard, salt and
pepper. A stove showed evidence
of a recent fire. And tossed into
a corner was a child's scoool book
bearing the inscription: James
DeJute, jr., 1877 Robbins Ave-, Niles,
Ohio"
Fellows, look here"
A detective who had been
sounding the walls with the butt
of his gun had discovered an un-
derground cellar, its entrance
barred and locked. A crowbar
soon solved that problem. AS the
door crashed through, the police
flashed their lights-but the eel
lar was empty.
False Walls
In the meantime police who
had been stationed outside noticed
tire tracks, which gave, mute evil
dence of spinning wheels as some
body tried to make a haSty get
away. All it began to look as If
the abductors had taken their
captive and departed for places
unknown.
But police decided to sound the
cellar walls again. Halfway down
the dark paSsageway they noticed
that one wall seemed to be thicker
than the others.
Every Oman is thoroughly
equipped for emergencies. He
carries a complete kit including
saw, crowbar, handouts, finger
print kit, field glasses, measuring
tape, and similar necessities. So
it took only few minutes to drill
a hole in the beaver board parti-
ton with brace and bit. When
they sawed away the partition po-
lice looked straight into the
face Of James DeJute, jr.

Bush SIayers CAPTURED and Convicted

Waving extradition, Mahoney
was brought back to washington
handcuffd to detectives. He con-
feSSed implication in the robbery,
but swore he never meant to have
Mr.. Bush killed. He said: I,
Gee, Mr.. Bush was good to
me. I told CARMEL not to hurt
him"
He said he suggested to Car
nell that it would be good way
to make "easy money" by way
laying the bus magnate at his
home. He said that he and Car
nell had picked up Mr.. Bush's
trail after he had finished his
business downtown and started
home.

It was the philanthropists's OBJ
Servance of traffic rules that
probably cost him his life. He
stopped at Dupont Circle for the
red n-ht while CARMEL and Ma
honey, with the latter at the
wheel, drove through it, arriving
at Bush's house Lefore he did.
Mahoney, fearing that Bush
would recognize him, decided to
wait in the car a block away. Car
nell proceeded to the Bush garage,
and was waiting inside when the
bus president arrived.
Mahoney said he heard shots,
became frightened and drove off
leaving CARMEL to get away as
best he could.
The next day he said he met
Carnell and the litter told him
he had accidentally shot Bush. He
asked Mahoney to pawn his over
coat for him-warning him to
watch out that the pawnbroker
did not notice the blood on the
front of it. He said he got 81 for
the overcoat, and that he and Car
nell spent the money for whisky.
He told Of the two of them
watching the papers anxiously for
news of Bush. That when the
aged man died they realized they
were Gin for it."
Mahoney said he tried unsuc-
cessfully to avoid CARMEL. He went
back to the ouS company and
worked for nearly two weeks but
when things "got / OF I decided to
take it on the LAM"
He said he and Carnell took the
bus for the Coast meaning to stop
off in Pittsburgh. Then detectives
arrested him.

Jimmie, whose father, James
DeJute, ST., was reputed to be one
of the wealthiest contractors in
Niles, Ohio, noticed that another
man sitting at the wheel kept the
engine running.
The one fixing the tire glanced
up:
"Sonny, where does Mr.. De-
Jute live?"
Explaining that he was Mr.. De
Jute's son, Jimmie started to point
out the way to his home when the
fellow seized him roughly and
dragged him towards the coupe.
Little Anne screamed in terror
and the boy, struggling wildly,
added his cries, to hers.
The minister's wife, who lived
nearby, heard their cries and
rushed to their assistance Just as
the man flung the boy into the car.
The machine sped away. It lurched
crafty for a second, seemed about
to crash into a telegraph pole,
righted itself, and kept on. But
not before the minister's wife had
managed to get a good look at both
car and driver.
Carrying the sobbingO little girl
into the house, she telephoned
police.
At the time the kidnapping &C.
Cured, Congress had not yet
passed the Lindbergh kidnapping
law, but, nevertheless, J. Edgar
Hoover, director of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, Depart
ment of Justice, offered his SER
vices to the breaved parents.
Anonymous Calls
Jimmie's mother collapsed when
notified of her sons abduction and
had to be placed under the care of
a physician. His father, haggard
and worn from anxiety and Sleep
lessnesS, refused to tell police
whether he had contacted the kid
napers for fear of harm to his son.
However, it was later learned that
the night following the snatch"
the elder DeJute had received an
anonymous telephone call from a
man who said he had the boy in
custody. He demanded $4,000 cash
for the lads safe return and
uttered dire threats if the father
notified authorities.
When a special agent from the
Department of Justice arrived in
Niles he found that Youngstown
police working with Niles authori-
ties and State troopers had al
ready uncovered some important
clues.

Laughs.

THERE are several reasons why peo-
pie laugh. This means that there
are as many kinds of laughs as there
are reasons for laughing at different
psychological situations.
One reason why the hearty laughers
laugh so much Is that they are tired
of civilization and take laugh every
time they want to get back to prinl-
tive impulses. Such folks will even
laugh In solitude, pretty much as .
child will talk to itself.
Some laughs are expressions OF
superiority. Weak characters indulge
in this sort most frequently. One
may easily recognize these two kinds
Of laughing.
Then there is sort Of laugh which
accompanies disappointment. This is
a mild sort of laugh. Call it the dis
appointment laugh. When you have
worked long to accomplish something
and it turns out all wrong, you will
use the disappointment laugh. 1t is
merely the admission that the strain
Of striving has now been completely
put to rest.

hunters and how to outwit them
when they appear. But now the time
has come when for q little while all
members Of our family will be in great
danger. They will be in danger that
Is greater than all other dangers"
The young Bob. Whites looked at
each other with q great wonder IN
their bright eyes. Gradually this Won
der gave place to doubt in the eyes
of some OF them, but they were too
polite to express this doubt. What
danger have you found to be the

For q moment no one spoke. Then
one of them said, "Sharpshin the
Hawk"

"Hooty the Owl" said q third.
"Black Pussy the Cat" cried Q
fourth.

White. Each considers greatest that
danger from which he has had the
narrowest escape. AL Of these dan

Can they fly as fast as Sharpsh1n

They do not have to run fast, and
they cannot fly at ALL" replied Bob

MAN has always been q victim OF

TOWNSEND MAN
KILLED BY CAR
He Was Asleep in Brandy
wine Park, Wilmington,
When Hit By Car
WAS A RUNAWAY AUTO

Robert E. McKeowen, so years
old, of Townsend, was crushed to
death while asleep in Brandywine
Park, Wilmington, Thursday night,
July 9, by a driverless runaway
automobile. Mr.. McKeowen suf-
fered a fracture of the skull, collar
bone, and leg and died shortly af-
ter being admitted to the Delaware
Hospital. He was sleeping under
a tree, seeking relief from the heat,
when killed. The car was owned
by Benjamin v. Codor, of 1911
West street, Wilmington, executive
director of the Jewish Welfare
Federation, who had parked it in
front of his home about a block
away from the accident about 45
minutes earlier. Failure of the
emergency brake to hold was
blamed for the accident. The car
started down the steep grade gain
ing momentum as it sped toward
the raceway on the north side of
the Brandywine River. Evening
strollers also cut seeking relief
from the heat saw the run away
car bounce over the curb in front
of 1907 West street, Wilmington,
and dash madly across the Park
Drive and down steep grassy
slope right for the PROSTATE figure
of the man lying peacefully asleep
under the tree. Powerless to stop
the speeding vehicle, Mortified on
lockers screamed but it was too
late to warn the man. The car
made one last lunge over the park
sidewalk crashing against the tree
crushing McKeowen. One of the
witnesses Immediately notified po-
lice headquarters and Capt. Frank
j. Mahoney sent the ambulance
and dispatched police radio car
with Patrolman Flick and Hughes
to the scene. Four policemen were
required to lift the car. Crushed
and unconscious but still breathing
McKeowen was rushed to the Del
aware Hospital where he died.
McKeowen was identified by pap
ers in his pockets which gave his
last address as the Single Mems
Unit, Third and Washington

and also showed him to be a resi-
dent of Townsend. A sister. Mrs.
