M4 INDIANA LAUNCHES DILLINGER ATTACK’ State's Most Notorious Outlaw Identified by 22 Witness- es as Slayer Crown Point, Ind., Feb. 1.—(7)— Indiana raised the curtain Thursday on the prologue of its legal drama by which it hopes to send the state’s most notorious outlaw, John Dillinger, to the electric chair within three months. Identified by 22 witnesses Wednes- day as the slayer of Policeman Patrick O'Malley last month during the $20,- 000 robbery of the First National Bank of East Chicago, Dillinger was order- ed arraigned Thursday before Circuit Court Judge William J. Murray. Prosecutor Robert G. Estill of Lake county, confident of a conviction, said the trial would get under way Feb. 13. Meanwhile, from Kansas City came word from Attorney General Philip Lutz, Jr., of Indiana, en route back by train with three more members of the gang and a woman, that he had esked the federal government to in- vestigate the attempts of Wisconsin officers to obtain custody of the Dil- linger outlaws for a Racine bank rob- bery. Ina telegram to U.S. Attorney Gen- eral Homer S. Cummings, Lutz said he urged him to investigate “if any collusion exists between gang and local Wisconsin officers, who by agree- ment with Dillinger’s gang entered into conspiracy to thwart Indiana and Ohio claims for extradition under con- ditions smelling of bribery and cor- ruption.” on, i Weather Report _/ bth niet lla 4 FORECAST For Bismarck and vicinity: Snow flurries tonight; Friday partly cloudy and colder. 2 For North Da- kota: Snow flur- ries, warmer ex- treme east, colder northwest portion tonight; Friday partly cloudy and colder.

In a letter addressed by Mayor A. P. Lenhart to Dr. Gilbert C. Gros- venor, president of the National Geo- | graphic Society, and to the chief of the army air corps, the advantages of Bismarck as a starting point for such a flight are set forth. These, as list- ed by the mayor, are: 1, Location in the great plains country where hazards incident to take-offs and landings are reduced. 2. A high average of clear days, weather records showing only 114 cloudy days in 1933. | 3. Good barometric pressure, figur- es of 31.10 being not unusual and 31.05 being of common occurrence. | 4, Cool nights and bright, warm days during much of the year. 5.

Tells of ‘Shenanigans’ In his opening statement to the jury, McCurdy recited some “shenani gans” which went on with regard to & settlement on Buckley's policy, He said Buckley was told the set- tlement actually was for only $2,500 on a $2,000 policy. The difference between the face of the policy and the $5,000 claimed to have been paid was said by one of the attorneys to be due to the @act that it had @ lot Kd ie Clauses which built up the claim, McCurdy said further that, while Buckley was told by Langer and King, that the settlement was for only 500, he was asked to tell the public that the settlement was for $5,000 cause the insurance company wanted the value of the advertising which such a statement would give it. It was not until later, the jury was told, that Buckley learned $5,000 actually had been paid by the insurance.com- pany. It is the balance between the $1,900 he admits receiving and the $5,000 which the insurance company paid that Buckley asks in the suit. Says Appointment Invalid McCurdy also contended that the appointment of King as guardian for Buckley was invalid and that Langer acted, in effect, as both attorney for Buckley and attorney for the insur- ance company. McCurdy charged that Langer prepared a complaint against the insurance company for Buckley and signed it as his attor- ney, then prepared an answer to the complaint, which was signed by one Donohue, then agent for the company in this district. It also was disclosed that McCurdy had trouble in getting certain papers in the case from Alvin Strutz, who took over Langer’s law business when the latter became governor, but that these were filed with the court when McCurdy obtained an order for Strutz to do 50. Answering charges that the plain- tiff had waited too long to file his case, one of the technical arguments advanced by the defense, McCurdy pointed out that the statute of limi- tations had not expired. This was ad- mitted. The defense contended, how- ever, that if the plaintiff had any cause of action he had neglected to file it for so long that his neglect had estopped him from prosecuting the case. It also developed, in the exchanges ‘between attorneys, that the defend- ants had filed a demurrer to the ori- ginal complaint, which had been sus- tained by Judge R. G. McFarland, and that the complaint subsequently had been amended to cover the points raised in the demurrer. Governor Langer was in court both ‘Wednesday afternoon, when the case opened, and Thursday morning. The business of picking a jury to hear the case went along smoothly ‘Wednesday until the panel of jurors available for call was exhausted. This occurred by reason of the fact that 12 members of the jury panel ‘were busy deciding another case and only 24 members were available when | selection of the jury began. Of the regular jurors the defend- fant used up all of its six peremptory challenges in removing from the jury Henry Solberg, Bismarck; George Gullickson, Bismarck; W. E. Doty, Bismarck; Gerald R. Jones, Regan; William Zabel, Bismarck; and Neddy Asplund, Wilton. Challenges Used Up The plaintiff challenged Mrs. W. F. McGraw, Bismarck; J. L. Clifford, Bismarck, and B. O. Refvem, Bis- marck, and this, together with thuse excused for cause, exhausted the members of the jury panel available for duty. When this situation developed, Judge C. W. Buttz of Devils Lake, presiding in the action, ordered Sher- iff Joseph L. Kelley to summon seven. additional citizens for jury duty. Five of these were produced in court before the session ended on a stormy note as the result of protests by McCurdy. Produced by Kelley for service, in the order in which they were called,/ were E. B. Klein, Bismarck; O. W. Roberts, Bismarck; William B. Fal- coner, Lincoln township; John Fleck, Bismarck, and Adolph Gtlovonnonoi, living east of Bismarck. McCurdy had used only three of the six peremptery: challenges al- iowed to each side when the emerg- ency jurors were brought in, but the Test of them went quickly. Klein hed hardly settled into his Jury box seat before he was excused. Roberts went the same route with similar speed and when Fleck ap- “The weight of the sliver “doliar 1s} 9% not altered or affected in any manner Frees & sen te Leading Conference|,,"the beer commissioner and.

Still_in the panel_were Falconer ‘and Gliovonnonol.

Neither, a court attache diselosed, is personal friendship a cause for re- moval from a jury. Falconer said he could try the case fairly and impar- tially and retained his place in the jury box. said he had been directed by the Judge to summon seven men and had used his own judgment in doing so, Some he called on the telephone, he sald, and in other cases he went to their places of business and ordered tnem to report to the court. Not a ‘Political Case’ Questions asked by Thorpe stressed the fact that this is not a “political case.” Every juror was asked whethe: he could forget the position of the governor and treat him like any other citizen, ignoring any agreement or disagreement with his actions as the state's chief executive. All the jurors retained when court closed Wednes- day night said they could do so. He also asked if they could disregard any feeling with regard to any of the lawyers involved, explaining that the trial of court cat is “just a day’s work for a lawye: Alfred Zuger, representing the in- surance company, asked if ‘the jurors could ignore the fact that his client is a foreign corporation and give it the same treatment as though it| Way were a private individual living in the Coie Alvin Strutz, representing King, asked only a few questions, all re- lating to common qualifications for jury service. McCurdy, in his questioning, stressed the desire to know if the political prominence of Langer and King would make bas A difference in deciding the case. He asked that they be treated as “common folks.” All the lawyers joined in the que: tion of whether each juror could dt cide the case on the basis of the facts as presented in coyrt and the instructions of the judge.

Keenan's Help Expected ted from the cust Wedneedey fight, parted from the east night, leading to the belief that he may be coming to Chicago to help in the in- vestigation of Sankey. Sankey was taken in a barber shop without a struggle. He was unarmed, ‘but several pills, believed to be poi- son, were found in his possession, and Purvis said that the prisoner seemed dejected and had remarked that he was sorry he had not swallowed them. Later, in the captured man’s apart- ment, the investigators found a tin box containing $3,200 in $100 bills, | b: $100 in $20 bills, and $30 in $1 bills. A woman, who said she was Helen |, G.

It was at Sankey’s South Dakota ranch, the authorities said, that Boet- tcher, II, was held while -ransom negotiations were under way in Feb- Tuary last year, after the wealthy Denver man had been “snatched” ag he stepped from his home Feb. 13 of that year. $60,000 Ransom Paid He was not liberated until the fol- lowing March and then only after $60,000 ransom had been paid. San- key’s wife, who is still living at the Sankey ranch with a daughter and a son, is under indictment in connec- tion with the Boettcher abduction, but no date for her trial has been fixed. Bohn, 22-year-old son of a St. Paul manufacturer, fell victim to kidnap- ers in June of 1932, and was held for several days until $12,000 was paid. He said at St. Paul Wednesday night that t)he would cooperate with the authori- he him “except by his voice.” Sankey’s wife was tried and acquit- ted in the Bohn kidnaping, but Ray Robinson, described by investigators as an of Sankey, received &@ 26-year sentence.
