 The defendant was pound over to the Grand Jury without bond yesterday afternoon by U s. Com mis sioner Felix Gray following the inquest held in the Commissioners $ office at 2 pm.

 Sim and Homme went to the Prince home at 524 Gold street, in response to Princes call to local police immediately following the murder. As soon as the police men saw the body, they called Deputy Marshal Hellan and pr. Carter. Hellan arrived within two minutes after being called, with Dr. Carter arriving at approximate ly the same time.
 Dr. Carter testified that he dis covered the woman dead upon his arrival and set the reason for death as apparently from strangu- lation
 An autopsy has peer ordered performed on the body
 Hellan testified that he had or dered the house locked and ob- tained full confession from Prince after taking him to the Marshals Office in the Federal Building. He said at that time Prince was very willing to talk" :" After arraignment yesterday, for maj signed confession was secured from Prince.

 Upon his arrival there he heard scramhlings at the hack door and assumed that someone was leaving the house. He said it was man. and under questioning admitted that he had not actually seen the person but believed it to be the man who several nights before had been visiting his wife.
 T chased him for a half block and would have killed him had I been able to reach him. Prince said at one point of his story.
 For the past month Prince has been living at APT Ninth street. It was disclosed that several nights previous to the crime, a man who has not yet been identified by the police, was discovered visiting at

 HERE FOR
 CONCERT
Highly EIafed with Alaska as Fog Lifts and He
 Sees Mountains

As if by magic, the fog lifted and we saw the snow-capped mountains, the winding channel, and like a last, majestic chord the Glacier"
 Thus Maxim Schapiro, interna- tionally known pianist who will ap- pear ill concert in the 20th Century Theatre here tonight, summed up his first glimpse of Juneau from Pan American airplane yesterday
 More handsome than his pictures because of the vitality and expres- siveness of his face and sensitive hands, which play constant accom- paniment to speech, the artist is fulfilling a dream of many years by his first trip to Alaska for this concert.
 He explains in the unspellable accents made familiar by Gregory Ratoti; AS a boy in Russia, Alas ka seemed to me the height of TO- nance. The hcys of my day in Rus sia were raised on the books ol Jack London and other writers of America. Oh yes, James Fenimore Cooper was the favorite boyhood writer. All his works were trans lated into Russian
 California Fcg
 Even the welcoming weather couldn't damp his spirits. T love fog" he eXclaims it reminds me of California" He goes on to eX- plain that his home between tours is "a little house tucked away in the Redwocds half an hour out of San Francisco" There he lives alone II am mos eligible he laughs.
 They even had 6 glimpse ol Ju- neau itself from the plane, he re- marked, saying this concert is an adventure Most places you go are all alike. But Juneau is so differ ent-the fascinating narrow steep streets climbing up the mountain s.de-and that beautiful house, the Governors manson, stands out so. It remisds me a little of Switz- elland In such a town there must be much music"
 Likes Gypsy Life
 Having toured all over the world, with the exception Of Africa and Australia, MT. Schapiro still finds it fascinating to visit new places. The only objection he has to the gypsy lie is the actual travelling.
 All boats leave at o'clock in ze morning planes at G." ne grimaces. All hotels have leetle mans in ze walls who snore all night. The surroundings here are mere pleasant and restful" glancing with satisfaction at the attractive corner room in the Baranof Hotel
 The thrill of his lifetime, the Russian born artist says, came last month when he voted for the first time as an American citizen. He wen his citizenship last year. AL though he first visited America in 1927, he did not establish his resi- dence in California until he had made several tours and had seen the world"
 First Concert
 Learning that his concert tonight would be the first such event in Juneau for many years was exciting to the pianist. He loves first con- certs, hopes he will convince the people cl Juneau they want many such affairs It reminds him of the time some years ago when he tour ed through Formosa, giving twelve concerts for the YMCA and found the Japanese people surprisingly interested in Occidental music.
 After his appearance tonight, MT

Safety Suggestion
For Sneezing Season

NEW YORK.-(AP)-Hay few
er sufferers should never let
themselves get so burned up they
set fire Unfortunately to rag
weed patches. The fire hazard in
such a practice, says the Fire
Protection Institute, is not to be
sneezed at.
To get rid of weeds, the insti-
tute advises, telephone the health
department and get directions for
making a weed-killing spray.
II you must burn the weeds,
first get a permit from the fire
department. Take a fire extin-
guisher along. Burn a little patch
alta time or NOW the weeds and
burn them in a pile. When the
fire dies down, put out all en-
bers.

Hearing Is Held
By Civil Service
Board Yesterday

a
The Key West Civil Service
Board at a special meeting in City
Hall yesterday afternoon at $50
o'clock heard testimony in the
case of Officer Carl Ingraham
who has been recommended fol
dismissal from the force.
Acting City Manager Robert
Dopp. in a letter addressed to the
board on August Is, recommend
ed that Ingraham be dismissed
because he was charged with act
ing in an "officious manner"
when he arrested Mrs. Ava Hill
ton, of 1925 Johnson street, here
on August 8.
Complained In Letter
Capt. Carl Hilton, in letter to
Mayor William w. Demeritt on
August 10, complained that when
Officer Ingraham arrested Mrs.
Hilton on a charge of driving an
automobile while under the influ-
ence of liquor, he acted in ''an
offlcious" manner. The drunk
driving charge against Mrs. Hill
ton was later dropped.
In his letter to the board rec
ommending the dismissal of In
graham, Dopp said that "appar-
emily Officer Carl Ingraham does
not possess those qualities of tact
and good judgement necessary
for a good officer.
Conflicting Testimony
Conflicting testimony was CIV
en- at the hearing yesterday. Some
witnesses declared that at the
Hme of her arrest, Mrs. Hilton
appeared to be under the influ-
ence of liquor, while others said
that she was obviously sober. Of
fieer Ingraham told the board
that he arrested Mrs. Hilton when
she drove her automobile into
the fire station and backed out
3nto traffic, nearly causing an ac-
cident.
One Bottle Of Beer
Mrs. Hilton has maintained
from the beginning that all the
alcohol she had on the day of the
arrest was one bottle of beer with
her lunch. At the time of her
arrest she offered to undergo
medical examination to determ-
inc her sobriety. This offer was
not accepted by police.
The Civil Service Board, after
hearing all testimony in the case,
now has under consideration what
disposition to make of it.

Swamp Cangsters
Remain In Hiding
Now During Night

Members of the former Swamp
Gang were in hiding last night
Chief Deputy Sheriff Moreno
Wallace searched for them till
o'clock this morning but did not
see any of them at their usual
hangouts at Duval and Southland
streets, Division and White and
out in the vicinity of the Santalla
factory, where. they severely beat
a sailor on Saturday night.
Chief Wallace was on the
watch particularly for two mem
bers of the gang who were high
cockolorums when their hideout
was in a wigwam, in the man
groves at Peters Point. Their
lookout tower was high up in the
crotch of a mangrove, which
served them as a poop aboard a
ship serves a Waterman on a
deck above the spar or an open
deck abaft of the mizzen.
In those days when the sheriff
and his force or policemen were
seen approaching the Swamp
Gang hideout, the watchmen
sounded the alarm and the
Swamp Gang members took to
the catwalks and disappeared.
But that gang was broken up,
and Sheriff Sawyer and his force
are determined to break UP the
present gang, bent on violating
the law.

Sylvester, ''but he won't answer
me-"
As the second brother ap-
preached, Sylvester spoke:
john, he said, when are you
going TO bring home that iron bar
you stole from me, you thief"
John walked on without a
