lin, was jailed and held over
might without bond after investi-
gators said they found tickets,
envelopes and other lottery
equipment belonging to him.
Special Circuit Solicitor George
c. Johnson said numerous"
charges probably will be filed
against Franklin. Bond on each
count would be $3.50. he added.

recently, landed in front of Act
ing Attorney General Bernhard
sykes yesterday for questioning
apparently in connection with
the investigation of the murder
of A. L. Patterson, who was nom
mated State attorney general in
the June Democratic primary.

State investigators reopened a
4-year-old night club probe yes

vice cleanup.
A murder warrant was sworn
out against E. L. (Red) Cook,
night spot operator frequently
identified with gambling activi-
ties. It charged him with killing
John Mancil at the COL Club on
August 6. 1850.
Cook was notified of the muir
der complaint shortly after he
was arrested on five charges of
unlawfully helping voters cast
their ballots in the Democratic
primary.
The killing of Mancil four
years ago came during shoot
ing spree which wounded two
other men, william C. Rogers
and Marvin w. Davenport.
Mr.. Rogers was paralyzed by
!, q bullet wound in his spine. He
: was never called before a grand

Staying. No indictment was re
turned against Cook.

Gonzogo, St. Anthony Clash
For Catholic Championship

With st. Johns High elimi-

the Catholic Basketball League
for the first time in 10 years. the
path is cleared for either Con-
zaga or st. Anthony's to take
their first title when the two
teams meet at $3.50 o'clock today
at Ritchie Coliseum.
In a preliminary game, start
ing at 2 o'clock. Holy Name
Academy will play Notre Dame
Academy for the girls varsity
championship.
st. Anthony won its way to the
finals with an upset 59-48 VIC
tory over st. Johns in the play
offs last Friday and Gonzaga fol-
lowed up with a 41-36 defeat of
Carroll.
The TONES. one Of the better
shooting teams in the area. have
several players capable of hitting
double figures in the scoring COL
umn. The outstanding is Bill
Cassidy, whose 17.8 average
topped the league. Harvey Dant.
Joe Sullivan. Martin Mitchell
and Bob Bordeau along with
Cassidy, will start for st. An
thongs Coach Jack Bohne has
capable substitutes in Charley
Facchino. John Kelley and Joe
Grotenrath who likely will see
some action.
GonZaga, without a high scorer
in its lineup, nevertheless has
players capable of coming
through in the clutch. Coach
Tommy Nolan will probably start
Dick Ridgway, Fred Thornett.
Mike Williams, Ronnie Bennett
and Ray Smith. But in Tony
Natoli, Frank Vita and Hank
Slevin he has a bench" that
could play first string on some
other teams

Regardless of the outcome to-
day, both the TONES and Eagles
will represent the league in the
Metropolitan tournament at
Washington-Lee High starting
tomorrow. In st. Anthony's case.
the tournament will give them
chance to take the champion
ship for the second straight year.

feating George Washington High,
