C, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1924 GROSS IS ACQUITTED IN LEISINGER CASE Colored Man Held Not Connected With the Slaying of Policeman. John A. Gross, colored, was ac- quitted today of complicity in the killing of Policeman Raymond C. Leisinger, August 285 last. At the conclusion’ of the prosecution’s case Attorney Bertrand Emerson, jr., rep- resenting Gross, called the attention of the court to the failure of the evi- O dence to connect Gross with the tragedy. Assistant United States At- torneys Burnett and ' Neudecker agreed that there was no case against Gross. The prisoner, who has been in custody since September 5, was set free. Arguments of counsel for James T. Holmes and Harry W. Freeman, the remaining defendants, were heard by Chlef Justice McCoy this afternoon. 1f these motions are denied it is ex- pected the accused will take the witness stand to tell thelr version of the shooting.

Seventh Street g Between D & E I i, Ethylized Gasoline FOR one year and nine months ethylized gasoline has been on sale. It is now being distributed through about 20,000 filling stations covering one-third of the territory of the United States. 5 About 200,000,000 gallons have been used by more than one million motorists, with complete safety and satisfaction. Recently a distressing accident occurred at an experimental plant, where a new process for the manufacture of tetra-ethyl lead, one of the constituents used in ethylizing gasoline, was under development. Tetra-ethyl lead is a poison, as are many raw materials which enter into the manufacture of harmless compounds. Ethylized gasoline consists of 1,300 parts of ordinary gasoline containing less than one part of tetra-ethyl lead. This statement is issued to make plain the all-important difference between tetra-ethyl lead, the raw material, and ethylized gasoline, the commercial product. Ethylized gasoline is more than an improved fuel, giving smoothness to the motor and eliminating knocks; it is a scientific discovery which, in its ultimate development, will contribute largely to the conservation of the world’s supply of gasoline. The dangerous character of tetra-ethyl lead having been recognized from the outset, exhaustive tests have been con- ducted which have established the safety of ethylized gaso- line when used properly as a motor fuel. These tests have been confirmed by the United States Bureau of Mines, which is making additional studies to de- termine whether any possible injury can result from con- tinued contact when used for other than motor purposes. Scientific data based on these studies will be submitted toany health commissioner or other public health official on request.
