GRANADY SLAYING SUSPECTS FREED State Dismisses Charge After ‘ Judge Threatens to Set Aside Any Verdict. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, November 27.—Charges of murder against Police Lieut, Phillip Carroll, four members of his Detective Bureau squad and four hoodlums in connection with the death of Octavius Granady, colored politician, on election primary day in 1028, were dismissed to- day by Special Assistant State Attorney Frank L. Loesch. Judge J. B. David yesterday had declared he would re- verse any verdict of guilty. Loesch’s motion to dismiss was made after he read a long statement in which he severely criticised Judge Joseph David fo:' P\a conduct while presiding over the al. Defense attorneys, seeking to clear the names of their clients, opposed the action, and Judge David, who yester- day denounced the State’s case and sug- gested the charge be dismissed, berated himself for his remarks, He demanded that the State go on with its case. ‘While attorneys continued to argue Judge David called in the jury and asked them: “Gentlemen, if you were called upon for a verdict now what would it be?” ‘The jury went into a huddle and EVERYDAY—HOLIDAY—SUNDAY ALWAYS THE BEST Dollar Din 5 _Until 7 O'Clock P.M.

Judge David and Mr. Loesch argued heatedly yesterday when the court called and promised he would dismiss the de- fendants no matter what the jury's verdict might be. The judge's suggestion of nolle pross- ing the case came when he demanded to know why a certain witness had not been called by the State. Loesch Suggests He Be Still. “We don't want it nolle prossed,” the defense counsel interposed. “I don't care what you want,” con- tinued Judge David. “I am tired of wasting time in this case.” “If your honor will d ing——" Mr. Loesch started. “I don't care to be told by you, Mr. Loesch.” the judge interrupted angrily. “You have put witnesses on the stand here time after time whose perjury smells to the high heavens, “I think you have been acting good faith, but you have been imposed upon by crooked investigators, some of whom ought to be in the peni- tentiary.” The outbreak was occasioned by the conflicting testimony of a woman who, under the prosecutor's questioning, haa identified Lieut. Phillip Carroll ana ‘Thomas Somnerio, two of the seven defendants, as participants in the slaying. Under cross-examination her less talk- | the woman from the room and once more dismissed the jury. “I think that witness is an unmiti- gated liar,” Judge David shouted. “ln all my experience as a judge and a lawyer I have never witnessed such a mass of perjured, contradictory and inconsistent evidence on the part ot the State. “If you get a verdict in this case T shall instantly set it aside.” Reduction In Round Trip First Class Fare From Chicago California CHICAGO & NORTH WESTERN UNION PACIFIC ' Tickets on Sale | Dec. 16, 17, 18, 26, 27,28 | Return Limit Jan. 12 Tickets good on all trains from Chicago to San Fran- cisco, Los Angeles, Long Beach,Oakland, San Diego and Santa Barbara.

Two children who wandered from their home in search of Santa Claus and then beseeched attaches at Union Station for tickets to the North Pole when informed that Santa Claus is still residing in the Arctic regions were turned over to Travelers' Ald Society representatives at the station yesterday afternoon and held for nearly an hour before their mother could be located. ‘The children, Dorothy and Aileen Belt, 5 and 4 years old, respectively, left their home at 227 C street northeast earlier in the day to go to the Plaza playground, nearby. But playgrounds. after all, probably are very boring places for two children whose minds are filled with thoughts of Santa Claus and Christmas and all the beautiful toys and good things to eat that go with tha' | “‘day of days” and they set out in search of the old gent. Union Station seemed & pretty nice place for any one to be, even a man so important as Santa Claus, so they chose | that point as the starting place of their | hunt. Crossing the plaza. their hands | tightly gripped as they wended their way through the traffic, they finally reached the station in safety. Asked Man About Santa Claus. ‘Men—large, small, thin and fat— hurried by, but not one glimpse did they catch of Santa Claus with his flowing | white beard and red suit. Seeing a smiling man who was about to pass them by, the two children a costed him and demanded, “Where's Santa Claus?" “Who?" “Santa Claus. Claus!” | “Why, Santa Claus is still at the North Pole.” was the reply. Questioning the two children in an | effoirt to obtain their names proved a | tiring and fruitless task, and, finally de- spairing of his efforts, the man turned | them over to Miss Edna Schneider, superintendent of the Travelers' Aid So- | ciety at the station, and hurried off without leaving his name. “Where's Santa Claus?” the children again_demanded to know. And again came the reply. ~He's at the North Pole,” | but Miss Schneider elaborated a bit an. added, “making pretty toys for good little children like you.” Dorothy, self-elected leader of the little expedition and an observant one | at that, wanted to know what those people are doing at those cages. “They're buying tickets to ride on the choo-choo,” Miss Schneider told them. Want Tickets to North Pole. “We want tickets to ride on the choo- choo to the North Pole.” Dorothy in- formed her listener. Aileen, who had been content to stare in wide-eyed won- der at the monstrous station with its hurrying crowds while her sister an- swered Miss Schneider's question: We want Santa joined forces with Dorothy at this point and assured Miss Schneider that she. too, would like to to the North Pole. Slowly and diplomatically switching the subject from Santa Claus, Miss Schneider finally succeeded in getting the children to tell their names. “Doro- thy and Aileen,” they knew well enough, but the family name was not so easy. “Bel—" was the best they could do. Beyond that they proved of little help. The address of their home was even more of a puzzle. “What does mamma call papa?” the Travelers' Aid superintendent asked. “Phil,” volunteered Dcrothy. “What does papa cali mamma®" “Ethel,” promptly answered Dorothy again. A search of the City Directory among the names beginning with “Bel” dis- closed a Phillip and Ethel Belt residing at 227 C street northeast and a tele- phone call completed the identity of the two tiny wayfarers, A few moments later Mrs. Belt, nearly frantic after a search of the neighbor- hood for her children, rushed into the station and relieved the Travelers’ Aid of the two girls.
