The first move by the federal gov-| ernment to obtain custody of the man, himself suspected of having pulled a trigger finger in the wholesale slaugh- ter June 17, 1933, was successful only after hours of argument at Columbia county's creaking, 95-year-old jail. A writ of habeas corpus and testifi- candum issued at Kansas City provides that Richetti be brought back to Ohio upon completion of his appearance before the federal grand jury there. Five hours after three deputy U. 8. marshals left Lisbon for Cleveland on the first leg of the trip to Kansas City, A. T. McGowan, chief deputy and one / 7, of the trio, commented at Cleveland: “Richetti is in town, but don’t ask me where he is. I can assure you he is in federal custody, and we are going to deliver him in Kansas City or bust.” Department of justice operatives lieve Richetti, captured near Wells- Mrs.| peace officers lost their lives in the of|withering gunfire when an attempt was made to free Nash.

The last congress empowered the banks to lend about $280,000,000 for working capital in an attempt to make the wheels of industry spin faster. But a survey showed Staurday that up to Oct. 24, applications for the loans amounted to only $131,412,000, less than half the amcunt available. RED MEN ENDORSE ‘BILL OF RIGHTS: 31 of 32 Reservations Vote to Accept Indian Reorganiza- tion Act Washington, Nov 2.—(7)—The In- dian reorganization act, heralded by exponents as 8 “bill of rights” for the red men, was reported Saturday in final returns to the Indian bureau to have been accepted by 31 of 32 reservations which voted on it Oct. Under the measure, the interior department hopes to make the na- tion’s Indians self-sustaining and to give them a greater voice in manag- ing their own economic and political | affairs.

Replying to the president’s praise of his former lieutenant governor as a man of “courage, energy, fine admin- istrative and executive qualities,” the Republican state Melvin C. Eaton, said “The president's action convinces me ... that the Democratic Party is afraid of Robert Moses.’ ‘The president, in going to Lehman’s support, omitted mention of other can- didates, including Senator Copeland, New York Democrat. This caused some speculation. Asked if omission of Copeland’s name was an oversight, the president gave a negative answer and pointed out that he had mentioned only Lehman, associate.

In fact there wasn’t.enough stand- ing room for when all the seats were filled and many were sitting on the balcony steps scores were turned away. It was ar interested but not a highly emotional crowd, though it gave Moodie a real ovation when he finished with a quotation from Paul the Christian: “Though I speak with the tongues of men and have not charity, I am become as sound- ing brass or a tinkling cymbal .. . ” charity, it vrofiteth me nothing.” , his close friend and|North Dakota from girding herself >!700 Hear Lynch at jernment, he said, is to banish it that And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor and though I give my body to be burned, and have not Discusses Fundamentals The impression made by Moodie, distinctly favorable, was that here was something different. Here was & man who discussed fundamental issues with enmity for only those persons and forces which would keep for a real fight toward prosperity. acketeering, petty chiseling, graft and: the exploitation of misery. and distress. In this effort, he asserted, the Democratic party be- comes merely the instrument of the people of the state without regard to political faction. Surveying the economic situation, he declared there really are two North Dakotas, One is the rich Red River valley, where crops were bountiful and good prices have re- stored normalcy. People are able to buy again, iights burn a: night in the country elevators, bills sre being paid and farm wives can buy those small comforts which they so long have done without. But 16 to 60 miles west of the Red river another condition begins. It is an area where people have been living on the spirit, some of them for five years, without a crop. In the west- ern two-thirds of the state many per- sons live on a poverty level, lacking even the necessities and decencies of life. The existence of this poverty level, he said, is the real cause of much of the misunderstanding and public turmoil which has been ap- parent in this state. The job of gov- all may live decently and in comfort. (Continued on Page Three) SIR CHARLES READY FOR FLIGHT 10 U.S. Lady Southern Cross Prepared To Take Off for Oakland, Calif., at 2 P. M.

POLITICAL CHARGES HEARD IN PROBE OF DULNGERS EAE Republican Orators Allege Use Of Spoils System Brought Prison Break Crown Point, Ind., Nov. 3—()—A wooden gun of John Dillinger as- sumed an importani political position Saturday, with repercussions of the desperado’s jail escape sounding in the closing stages of Indiana's elec- tion campaign. Republican orators charged that introduction of the spoils system by the Democratic state administration in penal management was respon-| sible for prison deliveries. ‘The Republican mayor of Crown Point, Vincent Youkey, assigned 25 special officers to guard citizens against kidnaping by state troopers. Eight of the guards carried shiny wooden pistols. “They worked once before down here,” the mayor, “and I sup- pose they Would work again.” The United States government took full charge of the investigation of Dillinger’s escape, after a secret con- ference in Chicago between District Attorney James R.

Minneapolis, | €4 LEAVES STAND WITH LAST SHOUT OF HIS | HONORABLE MOTIVES } Tells Jury He Would Have Been Crucified Had He Returned To U.S. COMPLETELY OUT OF FUNDS Defends “Hundred Million Dol- lar Swindle’ Company as Necessary Chicago, Nov. 3.—(?)—With a final shouted defense of his honesty, Sam- uel Insull left the witness stand in the Insull mail fraud case Saturday, a questioning by prosecutors at an end. Before stepping down, the deposed Chicago utility executive denied firm- ly that he was “running away” when he left Chicago in June of 1932, after his vast utility empire crashed. Prosecutor Leslie E. Salter asked him bluntly: “When you were indicted by the United States government, why didn't you come back?” Insull turned to the jury. “I think I would have been cruci- fied,” he declared. “Attorney Swan- son (State's Attorney John A. Swan- son) even had dodgers distributed showing me being brought through the streets in chains.” Denies Sir Basil's Aid Reluctantly he admitted that he was in communication with Chicago advisers, by code cable messages, when he began his flight across Europe in 1932, with American authorities at his heels. The name of Sir Basil Zaharoff, Greek multi-millionaire, came into the questioning, but Insull denied that Sir Basil had helped him avoid being returned to the United States when criminal charges were first brought in the fall of 1932. Later, pressed for his reason for fighting extradition when the crim- inal charges were brought to his at- tention, Insull declared he didn’t have enough money to return to the Unit- States. “I didn’t have the funds—of my own funds—to come back.” Prosecutor Salter, turning to the affairs of the Corporation Securities Co., under fire in the case as a “hun- dred million dollar swindle,” sought Insull’s admission that the truth about that concern wag concealed from investors. Its investments, Salter contended, were chiefly in two other Insull com- panies. Insull, aroused, answered in anger. - Shouts in Anger “I could have sold that stock to the public if I had represented that all its securities were in those two com- panies,” he shouted. “On the belief that people had in my integrity—and which they still have.” Shown the code messages which crackled across the ocean during the time Insull was a fugitive in Europe, Insull smiled wryly: “You have got some pretty smart code readers,” he said. Shouting, “No, sir! No, sir! No, sir!” in a flare of anger,-Insull denied that he kept his biggest company afloat only by juggling securities between the other concerns of his system, as far back as 1928. : ‘The deposed utility executive was confronted with the income tax re- turns of Middle West Utilities Co., his giant holding .concern and master key to his system. He had testified that he bought stock in this company in 1929, as the nest-egg for the Corporation Securi- ties Co., in which investors lost $100,- 000,000, Assistant U. 8. Attorney General Leslie E. Salter asked: No, Sir! No, Sir! No, Sir! “Isn't it a fact that you claimed losses of more than $12,400,000 for the Middle West Utilities Co.. and its subsidiaries in the year 1928, fhat these losses were not taken up on your books and that if they had been shown, there would not have been a dollar's worth of profit for any stock- holder?” “Wasn't that the real reason you had to reorganize?” Insull cried angrily: “No, sir! No, sir! No, sir! You are entirely mis- taken!” (Continued on Page 6) HEMORRHAGE FATAL TO LOCAL RESIDENT Stanley A. Wetch, 63, Suc- cumbs Friday; Funeral Serv- ices to Be Held Monday Stanley A.
