( THURSDAY JANUARY AS BROTHER KILLS Struggle in Next Flat End Breakfast. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, January 16—On the morning of last November 20 Henry Dorr ate breakfast about the time his brother Howard killed a man in the flat next door. Henry Dorr, testifying late yesterday at his brother's ®trial for the murder of William J. O'Brien, made it quite clear about breakfast. There were interrup- tions, true: interruptions such as the sound of shots, the sight of his brother and O'Brien in a death grapple; the roar of police cars and finally a view of his brother being led away by police- men: but_Henry Dorr ate his breakfast Henry Morr lives in a flat that of and the Howard Dorrs lived. From his | window he could look into the O'Brien | flat. ‘That morning he was getting | ready for his meal when he heard a | shot. He went to the window and saw | O'Brien and his brother struggling. The | fight moved into another room, out of Henry Dorr’s sight. A few seconds later there came the report of a shot. | “Then what did you do?” his| brother’s attorney asked. “I went back,” answered Dorr, eat breakfast.” Throughout his testimony, which came as a complete surprise to the | prosecution, Dorr referred to his brother | Howard constantly as “the defendant.” With the brother's testimony, the murder trial today had neared the argument stage. In statements made by Howard Dorr and by Mrs. O'Brien shortly after the shooting a love affair between the two was recited. It is the State's contention that Dorr and Mrs. O'Brien, who awaits | trial, plotted to kill O'Brien, collect his insurance money, and later, by the divorcing of Mrs. Dorr, to be married. Dorr's defense has been that he went to the O'Brien apartment when he heard & woman scream and that O'Brien attacked him, Dorr shooting him in self-defense.

DEEMED PROBABLE LOCAL MINE UNIONS ‘ OPPOSE HEAD OFFICE | 1,100 Workers Walk Out as Chap- ters Call for Vote on Final Action. By the Assoclated Press. PEORIA, Ill, January 16.—District officials of the United Mine Workers of America expected the climax today of the strike vote cast at the Crescent Coal Co.s four mines. Internal dissension within union ranks was given by the operating com- pany as the cause of the rift, which resulted in 1,100 miners remaining away from the mine yesterday. However, George W. Stouffer, district executive board member of the United Mine Workers, called the strike illegal last night and announced that any miner failing to appear for work to- day would be fined by the union $3 for the first day and $1 a day thereafter. Chairmen of the four mine locals followed this with emphatic assertions that the men would not return to work until their demands are met.
