PASTOR TO ASK
EYESIGHT OF
DOOMED MAN

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. Il. (UP)
Some inmate of San Qucntin's
death rOw-there are II men there
nOw-will have chance to repay
partially his debt to society after
he dies bf helping to restore the
sight of a blind minister.
The Rev. U. E. Harding. Port
land, Ore, Nazarene pastor, said
today that he would ask for one OF
the condemned men to donate It's
sues to the c0rnea sections of his
eyes. That San Francisco special
lists told him, would make him see
again.
One of the prisoners whom the
Rev. Harding plans to visit is Al
fred Dyer of Los Angeles who mur-
dered three small InglewoOd, Cal,
girls. None of the prisoners has
been informed yet of the minister's
proposal.
The Rev. Harding's chief worry
was that Dyer and the others
would be so bitter against sOciety's
theory of taking an eye for an eye
that they would not grant the
request.
Perhaps one of these men who
must die will be good enough t.
give me sight, so I may live to tht
fullest extent" the minister said.
know that society would feel that
the man who volunteered would be
redeeming himself before the
world
The offers of two wealthy me,
to give up their sight so that the
Rev. Harding's might be restored
were refused.

he needed money for his income
tax trial. Yes, Schultz was a
fugitive at the time. The wit

wanted $25, 900 for the trial-and
later asked for more.
Weinberg admitted he had tes-
titled on direct examination that
the purpose of fixing" numbers
at the race tracks was to get more
money for the Schultz trial.
The witness acknowledged that
he and big Harry" Schoenhaus
chief bookkeeper for the Schultz
mob, had been fugitives and that

because there was no fix that
month. We had weeks in the
156 days when we had no fix
and lost because we had bad
numbers coming up nearly every
day. We lost all we had and
had to borrow money"
Weinberg couldn't recall how
much money the mob leaders had
in the bank before they began to
elk" the numbers at the race,
track. The witness explained
that there was money coming in
and going out"
Weinberg estimated the capital
of the racket business after the
156-day racing period was around
$500, 900, taking into consideration
what Schultz borrowed. He
guessed" the capital on hand be
fore the season started at from
100000 to 100000.
"Schultz Had 1t"
Stryker suddenly said: where
is that money, Weinberg?" and
the witness replied: II don't know,
Schultz had it."
Q.-What did you do with
that money?
Al gave it to Schultz.
Q.-Didn't you steal that
money, Weinberg?
A.-Schultz had it.
After considerable discussion
about how much money the mob
had on hand after Schultz's Dor
rowing, Weinberg said yes, he
guessed" the amount would be
around $330,000.

now?
