Joe Interviewed
When interviewed Thursday
morning by Tribune representa-
tive, at the home of his mother,
Mrs. Lille Brooks, on McDougall
street, Joe stated that he had no
fear of Sharkey's right hand, be-
fore entering the ring, and that he
never for a moment doubted his a
bility to win.
"In which round did you expect
to VIM" he was asked I didn't
pick any round. l just knew I
would win: that's alp.
Asked when he would begin
training for his bout with AL. Et-
tore, the Brown Bomber replied:
Il plan to start training about
next Wednesday. l am going up
into the woods at Julian Blacks
summer home, where l did my pre-
liminary training for the Sharkey
fight" s.
Joe returned to Detroit by plane,
and was met here by his prettS
young wife, Marva, who was also
present at the Brooks home, when
Joe was interviewed by the Tri-
bune. She was beautifully attireG
in a gown of latest style, and
greeted the Tribune representa-
tive in her usual gracious manner.
During the interview, Joe sat rec
clining in a chair in his mothers
kitchen, and looked every inch an
uncrowned heavyweight champion,
who has made a sensational "come-
back" and is confident of climbing
to still higher rounds on the lad
der of fistic fame.

Sharkey Game

Sharkey put up a game fight and
used all the ring tactics which he
had learned from long experience,
but he was no match for his wiley
young opponent. Joe was again
the Brown Bomber" of old, land
ing terrific rights and let's to
Sharkey's jaw and body, with such
telling effect that the plucky Bos-
tonian was sent to the canvass four
times, during the brief encounter.
The final knockout came early in
the third round when the Detroiter
landed a sledge-hammer blow on
Sharkey's chin, which dislodged
his mouthguard and sent him to
the floor in final defeat.
From the start of the fight, un-
til the spectacular finish, Louis
was complete master of the situa-
ton, displaying all of his old-time
skill and punching power, and
showing no trace of the bewilder-
ment which he exhibited in his
fight with Max Schmeling in June.

OF PARTISAN LOST
Research Agent Sought to Collect
for Locating Lehman
Heirs.

BY the Associated Press.
c. Merlaud of Paris, a research
agent, lost today in the Supreme Court
in an effort to collect contingent
fee from heirs to the estate OF 1sobel
Lehman of Washington.
The Supreme Court refused TO re-
view the Judgment of the United
States Court of Appeals for the DIS.
trict of Columbia that an agreement
with the heirs was "champertous and
void"
Merlaud contended he located VIII
liam Ralston Hunter and Ellen String
ham Hunter of Tasmania, heirs to
one-eighteenth interest in the Lehman
estate and that contract with them
provided for a contingent fee OF one
third of the amount he recovered for
them.
He contended the claim Of the heirs
to participate was recognized by the
executor, the National Metropolitan
Bank of WashfngtoR, but that the
bank ignored the contract while II ar.
ranged distribution of a FUND OF
100000.
The executor and heirs argued the
claim for services was based upon q
speculative champertous contract, 70
which by their settled policy the courts
of the United States will not leno tnen

DRIVE PLEDGED HERE
TO SPEED JUSTICE
Hepbron Hits Delays in Criminal
Gases in Broadcast for
Association.

Scoring delays in criminal cases as
one OF the common causes Of dismis-
sails, James M. Hepbron, acting dl-
rector of the Washington Criminal
Justice Association, in radio talk
last night promised that one OF the
objects of the new organization would
be to speed justice by the pressure
OF public opinion.
1--WE all know what delays in prose-
cutting a case mean," he said. They
mean, in too many cases, dismissal.
Every delay gives the arrested man,
his relatives and his lawyer more time
In which to work-and don't think
they don't work. In the end, it means
the case Is tried, not on the facts OF
the case, but on emotions"
Hepbron said there should be some
agency in Washington to gather all
data kept by police, the grand jury,
district attorney and criminal courts.
This, he said, his organization plan
ned to do.
Police Inspector L. I. H. Edwards,
who took part in the radio program
over VOL, asked Hepbron if the
association planned to operate as a
"super-detective agency" Hepbron
replied In the negative.
"Ours Is not a head-hunting or
