Murder Of Cos
Co.. Meehanic
Shocks Soufhside

The relative quiet of the And
hundred block on Fourth Av. s., in
Minneapolis was shattered late
Monday April IL, when a fusillade
of bullets from a rifle in the hands
Of a crazed man snuffed out the
life of one man and seriously
wounded another.
Police are holding Ohio Perk
Hooker (who has several aliases)
for the fatal shotgun death Of
Lloyd Williams, Minneapolis Gas
Co., meter mechanic and installer
and the wounding of Ernest Leus-
sler, a collector in the credit de-
partment Of the gas company.
The two men accompanied by
a helper, William A. Burman, went
to the residence where Hooker
lived to remove the gas meter for
non-payment Of a gas bill which
amounted to 1882 plus the latest
meter reading.
Hooker admitted the men and a
conversation ensued. His statement
to the police said he asked them
not to take the meter out.
The Hooker statement also did
not say the utility firm employees
were abusive but actually they
were pleasant to him.
After talking to Hooker the
three men went downstairs to the
basement and began the job of
removing the meter.
In a few minutes, according to
statements by both Hooker and
the two surviving men he (Hooker)
came down in the basement armed
with a 81 caliber rifle. He told
the men to line up against the
wall.
AS the men begged the irate man

propped up in a chair, listened
to their pleas a few minutes then
opened fire.
Two bullets struck Leussler in
the chest, Burman ran up the
stairs as Hooker fired after him
and Williams lodged behind a
wash tub.
Hooker then went over behind
the tub where Williams crouched
and fired a shot into his side, kill
ing him Leussler got out Of the
basement and house and got in
his car and drove to the corner
Of 43rd St. where he collapsed
from loss Of blood. ....
Burman ran to the corner of
43rd and Fourth where he called
police.
Answering the call were three
moral squad members officers
Russell Grueger, George Hemming-
sen and George c. Bendt, who were
in the neighborhood investigating
a narcotics case.

He has been employed for a

Conjecture as to what caused a

All right, what are you watt

first trick?
Normal Play Loses
It may seem normal" to let
the first trick ride around to
the South hand, but this play
will cost you the contract. Let's
see why.
East plays the jack Of hearts
to force out your king. Now
you cannot take four clubs and

If you get your own high

tackle diamonds, East win dis
card a spade on your fourth
club and will hold up his ace
of diamonds for the third round
of the suit. Then he puts West
in with q low spade to the king
to get another heart lead
through dummy. The defend
ers get two hearts, two spades
and one diamond, putting your
last diamond trick to sleep.
It doesn't help to work on the
diamonds before cashing the
clubs. East puts up the same
defense, holding up his ace of
diamonds until the third round.
Dummy's queen Of clubs Is put

You make the hand without
the slightest problem If you win
the first trick with dummy'S
ace Of hearts. Then you cash
the top clubs and lead a dia-

Fashion Notes For Men

Of leather or plastic against
cloth will cause a shine.
Some Of your good shirts may
show fuzz (called "pilling")
on the collars.
You can get it of by going
over the collar surface with
a clean electric shaver This
will not harm the shirt-or
the shaver.
Get spots out Of clothing
as soon as possible. The
longer they're IN a fabric,
the more firmly they become
imbedded and the tougher
they are to remove. Be-
fore doing anything else, try
two simple methods: Cd Rub
the spot with another part
Of the garment. Or 90 apply
good old plain water. which
will remove many spots and
stains. If the spot is
grease. work on it from the
back of the cloth. Working
from the front will force the
spot deeper into the fabric.
