WAR VETERAN
KILLS HIMSELF
OVER ELECTION

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 5. W.P)
"A daily host of Democrats ate at
the little cafe where Clifford II.
Cook slid the hick sandwiches and
American fried potatoes along the
Scared counter before them.
Cook, lifelong Republican, ar
gued politics with the patrons with
considerable heat. He took on his
opponents singly and in groups and
bolstered his predictions of a Re
publican victory with poll returns
and printed predictions.
A disabled war veteran, Cook be-
lieved that President Roosevelt was
to blame for his failure to receive
the compensation that he wanted
The 1896 presidential election be-
came an obSeSSion with him.
At home, Mrs. Cook sought to
turn his mind away from politics
without avail
"Ill kill myself if Landon is
licked" he told her.
The wife chided him and belittled
the threat Each day she paid less
attention to it but Cook by constant
repetition came to believe it.
As the election drew nearer, Cook
was making small election bets, but
also was becoming ever more cer-
tain of a Republican victory.
Tuesday night the early election
returns were a great shock to Cook,
but when he went TO sleep he still
believed the late returns would
show a reversal.
Wednesday morning, Cooks morn
ing paper had conceded the Demo
cratic victory and he told his wife:
I'm going to shoot myself, now"
She again refused to consider the
threat seriously and went to the
kitchen to prepare breakfast. A
moment later she heard a sharp ex-
plosion and rushed back to her
husband to find that he had shot
himself near the heart.
Cook died at a hospital shortly
before noon.

PRISONER TAKES
DAY OFF FROM
HOSPITAL DUTY

When Roy Payne, Negro prisoner
at the Imperial county hospital,
wants day off he takes it, despite
orders.
He asked to be released SO he
could go to town Wednesday but
was refused. Apparently this in
terferred with his plans to cele,
brate the recently completed elec-
ton Not for long, however.
Payne disappeared late Wednes-
day afternoon. A search failed to
reveal his whereabouts SO deputy
sheriffs took a hand. He was said
to have been seen at Fourth and
Main streets, Ell Centro, at $3.50
o'clock Wednesday.
At 1925 a. m. Thursday morning,
Payne staggered into the hospital
drunk and mean" but he did not
stay long. He was transferred to
the county Jail for the remainder
of the night. He was sentenced to
one year in the county Jail for
forgery and was working at the
county hospital as part of the SEN
tence.

CORPORATIONS
URGED TO BUILD
CHIEFS HOMES

Corporations maintaining resident
managers in Ell Centro are urged to
build modern homes for them as one
means of decreasing the acute
housing shortage prevalent this
year.
Letters were written to the vari-
Gus corporation heads by the better
housing committee of the El Centro
chamber of commerce outlining the
advantages of such construction.
M. o. King, chairman of the bet
ter housing committee, pointed out
in his letter that the underhoused
condition of Ell Centro results from
the rapid growth of population in
Imperial Valley.
Particularly should provision be
made for air-conditioning when
constructing model homes in Ell
Centro," said King. "The better
housing committee of the Ell Cen
tro chamber of commerce, acting in
conjunction with the Federal Hous-
ing administration, is desirous of
seeing a greater number of comfort
able and modern homes built in
Ell Centro.
This will be an economic meas
ure and relieve the serious housing
shortage in the city.
ut is to the interest of corpora
tions to have your managers made
as comfortable as possible. With
that end in view, and because OF
the difficulty which these man
ayers invariably find in locating
suitable homes in Ell Centro, we
ask consideration to the suggestion
of erecting homes for your man.

person Is involved in this crime?"
Why did DR.. Condor, under oath
deny knowing the name of the cabi-
netmaker who built the box to con-
tain, the ransom money, when this
man (Samuelsohn) says DR.. Condor
has known him for years, and when
he not only placed with him the
order for the original box, but for q
duplicate?
Why was Samuelsohn not called
upon to testify when he says that
Hauptmann ordered the wood cut for
the ladder, but that two other men
called for the completed work?.
Why was not Condor called upon
by State officials to explain his at
tempted bribe for $250,O00, since the
person who made this order obviously
could not have been Hauptmann, who
was in jail?
Testimony by Lindbergh.
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, sr.
Col. Lindbergh. appearing before
the Bronx County grand jury on
September Is. 1894, said:
Shortly after we first stopped the
car out opposite the florist shop, a
man walked by who feel sure was
one of the actual group Of kidnapers
or connected with them. He again
came back on the opposite side of
the street just before DR.. Condor re-
turned to get the money. and then
went again down Wittemore street.

heard the voice of one man at a
distance"
At the same hearing q grand Juror
asked. Did you see anybody on that
occasion with a handkerchief that he
dropped, on the occasion of your pay
ing over this money!"
Col. Lindbergh answered: "Yes. !
did: shortly after I parked the car in
front of the florist shop DR.. Condor
got out of the Car and found the note,
one of the group, under a stone near
the table in front Of the florist shop.
according to directions in previous
notes. He returned to the car with
that note and, as he was reading it,
man walked y the car coming
from the direction in which the car
was pointed, and as he passed the
car, or during the time that he was
nearest enough to see him very clearly,
he covered his face, rather part of his
face, with a handkerchief. and as he
passed he looked first at DR.. Condor
and then inside the car at me, and
then he went on the side, walking
down.
"Just before DR.. Condor returned
from having met the man and made
the payment this same man came
running back on the other side Of
the street on the cemetery side; he
stopped or paused: then. as he crossed
Whittemore street, looking first back
ward at the car and then around,
and then in all directions. He then
began walking rapidly SO he passed
the car again, this time on the other
side Of the street, going in the other
direction, covering his face With the
handkerchief, and he blew his nose
very loudly after he had passed far
enough. had no direct view Of his
face; he removed the handkerchief.

down with his left hand into a lot

mont from the florist shop. Does

In a statement made to Inspector
Harry w. Walsh, on May 20. 1882,

Col. Lndbergh said, referring TO the
visit to st. Raymond's Cemetery or
the night the ransom money wa.
paid:
Says Man Walked Awkwardly.
1.-THE doctor returned to the cal
and we read the contents Of the note
with q flashlight. He said that he
was taking un unnecessary long time
and standing outside the car for a
purpose He indicated that this
reason was to give the kidnapers an
opportunity to identify him. Several
people had passed by on the sidewalk
when q man appeared walking along
the Sidewalk opposite to the direction
in which the car was stationed. He
walked with an unusual gait rather
aWkwaroly and with pronounced
stoop. His hat was pulled down over
his eyes. As he passed the car he
covered his mouth and the lower
part OF his face with handkerchief.
and looked at DR.. Condor and at me.
He continued along fremont and
passed out OF sight. This man wore
a brown suit and a brown felt hat.
He was about 5 feet or inches tall,
weight about $50 to 100 pounds"
Later, In the same signed statement
to Inspector Walsh, Col. Lindbergh
said:
"A few minutes later he (Condon)
came into view walking back along
fremont on the cemetery side and
and turned down Whittemore and
again passed out Of sight. ApprOxi-
mately Is minutes later this same
man whom I have described appeared
on the cemetery side OF fremont
running In the direction Of White

he stopped running and when mid
way across Whittemore he hesitated
looked down Whittem0re back along
fremont and then continued in a
walk along fremont, passing the car
on the opposite side of fremont. As
he passed the car he covered his face
with a handkerchief and blew his
nose So loudly that it could be dis
tinctly heard across the street where
was parked and undoubtedly q
considerably greater distance. At this
time Or. Condor reappeared walking
up Whittemore After blowing his
