B — THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” VOL. XLV., NO. 6774. JUNEAU, ALASKA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1934. MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS CARDINALS, TIGERS, TIED IN BIG SERIES COUNSEL FOR HAUPTMANN IS LOSER, RULING Not Grantefiight to Ex- amine Grand Jury Min- utes — New Delails NEW YORK, Oct. 8— Bronx County Judge Stackell today de- nied the motion by Hauptmann's counsel for permission to examine the minutes of the Grand Jury that indicted Hauptmann on the extortion charge and also denied the request for a copy of the min- utes. Counsel for Hauptmann said he is prepared to introduce witnesses to show his client was not present at either the kidnaping or ran- som money transfer. IN NEW JERSEY FLEMINGTON, N. J, Oct. 8.— Supreme Court Justice Trenchard today charged the Grand Jury to indict Hauptmann for murder if the state presents sufficient evi- dence that Charles A .Lindbergh, Jr., met death accidentally or in- tentionally at the hands of Haupt- mann. NEW WITNESS APPEARS NEW YORK, Oct. 8— Willard ‘Whitehead, former neighbor of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, picked Bru- no Richard Hauptmann from a line-up of ten as the man he saw emerging from the underbrush on the Lindbergh estate a few weeks before the baby was kidnaped. Whitehead reported to the State Police of New Jersey on the night of the kidnaping he saw a man and when Hauptmann was arrest- ed, Whitehead was sought immedi- ately. He was located only two days ago and brought here to pick out the man he saw near the Lind- bergh home coming out of the brush. B PRETTY GIRLS USED ON NAVY FOR “REVOLT” Communists Attempt to Spread Sedition Among Men of Fleet LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 8.— The Los Angeles Times said that on United States warships in the local harbor “flagrant cases” of Communistic activity tending to lead to “rebellion” have been dis- covered. “The Communists are drilling in uniform every Sunday in Tujunga Canyon. As they are not armed they are not breaking the law” the Times says. “The alleged rebellion plot among the navy men has been carried on by sending handsome young Com- munist girls aboard the ships on visiting day for the purpose of making dates with the sailors and spreading sedition. This resulted in more romance than rebellion. The sailors love them and then leave them.” FIRST DEGREE MURDER T0 BE CHARGE MADE Wealthy Mam Seattle In- dicated He Planned Doctor’s Death SEATTLE, Oct. 8.—Charles Duke, wealthy property owner, who con- fessed to the “mockery murder” of Dr. Leon Squire, and said God will adjudge him justified, will be charg- ed with first degree murder un- less new evidence is found, the Prosecuting Attorney’s office an- nounced. Duke's confession and the testi- mony of several witnesses indicate Duke planned for some time to shoot Squire. The Prosecuting Attorney's office announced that Maurice Ivey, pro- prietor of a bakery across the street from the shooting scene, told the police Duke menaced the doc- tor three weeks ago.

Rowe struck out four, Dean in Trouble The Cardinals got Dean, who al- lowed but seven hits, five of them scratchy, into all kinds of trouble in the early innings, then pulled him out with a great defensive play that reached the heights in the seventh inning when Frisch cut off a run with a fine throw to the plate. Delancey played grand ball all the way and nipped White try- ing to steal second to end the sec- ond inning, and again in the eighth when the Tigers piled on Dean for two straight hits. Collins ended the inning with a great catch of Greenberg's foul near the rail in front of the short left field stand. Dean’s Winning Run Dean drove in the winning run in the seventh with a single to right after Durocher had doubled.

The weather was clear and warm. The attendance was 43,500, a capac- ity crowd. ———-e— Coast Retailers Are Improving in Financial Way SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oet. 8.—The Board of Trade reports Pacific Coast retailers have vastly improved their financial conditions, contrasting with the adversities they faced two years ago.
