MARION, Ind, Dec. "a wild
chase and suicide on the busy pub
lie square here put a spectacular
end to the brief, bizarre holiday of
an escaped insanity patient who
ranged so miles through Northern
Indiana armed with a rifle and an
ice pick.
Scores of shoppers and homeward-
bound office workers watched at the
rush hour late yesterday as Leonard
Fritz, n, Of Michigan City, leaping
from a commandeered taxicab. ran
across the courthouse yard firing
wildly at the cab driver and a CITY
detective and then put a bullet into
his own head.
DR.. Paul Williams, assistant super
lntendent of the Logansport State
Hospital, said Fritz, taken there two
months ago to be treated for de-
mentia praecox, escaped Thursday
night, stealing an ice pick from a
bakery where he worked.
Yesterday, Chester Quinn. 2s
taxicab driver in Peru, II miles east
OF Logansport. said Fritz telephoned
him there and, after getting in the
cab, drew rifle and told Quinn to
drive here. During the 31-mile trip.
Quinn related, Fritz told of stealing
the rifle from a hardware store and
conided;
I'm going to use 1t on a little
Job I've got to do. It's a good night
for a murder
Quinn jumped from his cab at
stop light here and fed toward
the courthouse. Fritz followed
shooting twice, then Detective Lester
Andrew, walking nearby, started
after Fritz and Fritz turned around
and fired again and missed. Fritz
clrcled back to the cab. got in and

attention of the Federal agents to
the protection item and had believed
it deductible.
Not an Issue in Verdict.
Justice Laws charged the jury that
it need not pass on whether a gam
bler's bribe was deductible, but
should be concerned only with Sa-
dur's motive-whether he believed
it was and dealt honestly with the
Government in trying to straighten
out the Warnings tax troubles.
Sadur was represented by Leo A.
Rover, a former United States at
tOrney.
The Warnings did not testify, but
their attorneys. Harry T. Whelan
and William B, O'ConneIl, sought
through other evidence to show that
the brothers tried in every way they

to pay any reasonable claim.
The case was prosecuted by United

Mrs. Lidde|I Agrees
To Take Children
Back 10 England
Rearing Under American
Principles Remains
To Be Decided

By the Associated Press.
MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 3.-An agree
ment by Mrs. Calypso Barring Liddell
to return to England with her four
children was on record today, but
whether they would be reared under
democratic American principles was
yet to be decided.
Mrs. Liddell, daughter of the late
Lord Revelstoke, English flnancier,
and his American wife, brought the
children to the United States three
years ago and placed them in pub
lie school at suburban Coral Gables.
She charged her estranged husband
with being IAN unmitigated snob"
and said he was firmly convinced
that all people are born unequal and
that certain people must, by virtue
of their birth, be educated to expect
preferential treatment"
Liddell, chief of Englands civil
intelligence department, brought
habeas corpus action against her in
Circuit Court to force return of the
children. An out-of court settle
ment was reached yesterday by
which Mrs. Liddell agreed to return
with the children to England, where
the case is still pending.
Liddell testified here he did not
approve of the generally loose
views" prevailing in the United
States and wanted the children edu-
Gated in England. His wife said
American standards of education and
life were constantly a matter OF ac-
rimony and dispute" between them
before their separation in 1885. when
she came to the United States. She
was niece of Pierre Lorillard, to-
bacco magnate, and has many
American relatives and friends.
Testimony showed Mrs. Liddell had
a vastly greater income than her
$500 a year husband and that she
provided a major part of their living
expenses. The couples 100000
estate at Barings Bank. London, was
gift of Lord Revelstoke.

Pathetic Stories Told.
The real-life hard-luck stories
that Capt. Morgan hears and reads
every yuletide season already are
coming in. Not just at Christmas
time, but now, help is needed, the
captain pointed out today.
One of the latest pleas comes
from mother in Congress Heights
who has eight children, ranging in
age from l to IA. The family, also
including the father, is cold, hum
cry and threadbare. Their little
nome has a little coal stove, and
IN the coal bin is only a quarter
OF = ton OF coal that was given them.
There aren't enough blankets to
keep them warm at night. Three
OF the children have no shoes. They

Capt. Morgan sent this distressed
family a basket OF food. "This was
hardly a beginning" Capt. Morgan
said. IF any one has some old
bed covers-blankets or comforts
to give these people I would ap-
preciate their getting in touch with
me. This family needs everything. !"
Capt. Morgan said contributions
OF cash, clothing and other neces-
stiles contributed to police for
Christmas relief should be sent to
the nth precinct until Monday or

Talks Seek TO End
Strike al Fisher
And Buick Plants
Complete Shutdown
Faces Flint Factory
Employing $4,000
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Dec. "a walkout af.
fecting two General Motors Corp
plants at Flint brought representa-
tives Of the management and the
United Automobile Workers togethe,
again today.
They met here yesterday a few
hours after the strike began, but
recessed later without commenting
on the situation or their conversa-
tions.
The walkout took place at the
Fisher body plant No. after union
employees voted 8 to l to strike as
a consequence of a prolonged dis
pute over demands of workers in
two departments for day wages in
stead of piece-work rates.
G. M. executives said 6,400 Fisher
employees were affected directly by
the strike, which halted operations
and brought complete shutdown.
This created shortage of bodies,
which stopped the Buick final as
sembly line. Continuation of the
strike into next week, it was said,
would further hamper Buick oper-
ations. The plants normally do not
operate on Saturday or Sunday.
Buick officials said that it would
be necessary to close the entire
plant, which employs approximately
$4,000 persons, as soon as stock sup
plies were built up to maximum.
Spokesman for the Flint U. "A. w.
Local No. 581 said the strike was
authorized by the international
union and that grievances had been
taken up through the regular griev-
ance procedure" and no satisfactory
answer has been received" but G..
M. officials said the strike violated
the corporations contract with the
union,
Homer Martin, u A. w. president,
declined to discuss the strike. He
was at Anderson, Ind.

To Civil Negligence

WILKES S-BARRE, Pa, Dec. 3.-A
coroner's jury investigating the
deaths of eight persons at a mine
cave-in at Wilkes-Barre Township
two weeks ago, returned a verdict
last night of drowning as result
Of civil negligence"
The jurors found the eight per-
ished as result of civil negligence
so ghastly it borders on the very
edge Of criminal negligence on the
part of the commissioners of Wilkes
Barre Township and the Glen Alden
Coal Co."
The jurors said they found "the
Wilkes-Barre Township commission
ers failed to properly protect human
life in permitting to continue for
many months the menace offered
by the cave along Casey avenue"
Seven crippled children and a
chauffeur were drowned when the
car plunged into the water filled

and the maze of testimony intro
duced during the long trial.
The Government charged a con-
Spiracy among the three brothers,
starting in 1894. when Emmitt
launched his numbers game and con-
tinuing until the end of 1886, the
last year concerned in the alleged
income tax deficiency. The total
amount Of tax evaded was set by
the Government at around $28 1000
| for the three years, representing a
taxable income of we'll over $l00 900.
Books Are Evidence. 4.
The Warning numbers books,
which the defense brought into
court and the Government previous
ly had photostated, showed the
brothers had a gross income OF ST.
350,000, approximately, in 1885 and
about the same amount in 1896
These sums, the Government
pointed out, were the income re-
ceived by the hackers of the game
| and did not include the 30 per cent
hSpO Wy WllVClO, WlllSll WOulu llldhC
a gross annual business of $4,000, 900
| for these years.
The most controverted item in the
alleged tax evasions described by the
prosecution was $4,000 which was
set up for police protection in 1885
The Internal Revenue Bureau added
this to taxable income after Emmitt,
according to several witnesses, had
said he paid this sum to purchase
immunity for his business. Emmitt
refused to name those he allegedly
was bribing, the Federal agents said.
The protection item largely con-
cerned Sadur's supposed part in the
conspiracy. Revenue and intelli-
gence agents said the accountant
tried to conceal the $4,000 in the
''hit" or loss columns of the numbers
books and later, when questioned
subtracted the figure from the net
income and added it to the expenses
