Tt setz forth, editorially, that the first report of the State’s attorney's investi- gators. which goes into detail concern- ing the reporter's finances. ‘“‘would indicate that Alfred Lingle was killed | because he was using his Tribune posi- tion to profit from ciiminal operations and not becanse he was serving the Tribune as it thought he was.” Pointing out the developments eulting from the investigation, newspaper says Takes Different Character. “Alfred Lingle now takes a different character, one in which he was un- known to the management of the Tribune when he was alive. He is dead and cannot defend himself, but many facts now revealed must be accepted | as eloquent against him. He was not, | and could not have been. a great re- porter. His ability did not contain these possibilities He did not write stories, but he could get information | in police circles. * * * The reasonable | appearance against Lingle now is that he was accepted in the world of politics re- the countries at a meeting of the European Customs Union Association. The meeting was held in the foreign office. but officials explained that these quarters were lent to the delegates as a courtesy. The association is a pri- vate organization with no government | status. ~ Forelgn Minister Briand, older men, Mr. Ford pointed out, are an indispensable balance to the younger and more vigorous | | workers. And now Dr. J. A. Britton, Chicago physician, who appeared before the convention of the American Medical Association here, says he believes American industry “makes a serious mis- take in discarding a man when he reaches the age of 45."

Lee. city editor of | the Tribune, a picture of Lingle as he appeared to his fellow workers is given. This account states that Lingle was understood to be well-to-do and not de- pendent. upon his $65 a weck salary. “Eight years ago Lingle cxplained that through the death of his father he had come into considerable money,” the story said. “It is true that the records of the Probate Court since have reveal- ed that this estate was around $500. No one on the Tribune ever took the trouble—before the murder—to look into this estate and ascertain if, in fact, the father's estate was large.” Lee’s story traced Lingle's large ac- Quaintanceship. not only among gang- sterc and police heads, but also among Iawyers, judges and financiers. The gangster acquaintanceships were looked upon at the time as necessary if Lingle Were to be in a position to report prop- erly and accurately the affairs in gang- land. In view of developments since hiz murder, the story points out. some of these acquaintanceships have taken on a different significance. Report Is Detailed. The teport of the State's attorney’s Investigators. made public yesterday, went into detail concerning Lingle's money affairs as revealed by a survey of his banking accounts. It revealed deposits running into many thousands of dollars, far in excess of his Tribune salary. The report did not indicate from ‘what source the money came, but zaid every effort was being made to find out. Sums running up to several thou- #and dollars were loaned to iingle, according to the information the in- vestigators obtained. by politicians and by men reputedly connected with gang affairs. The State's attorney’s report ex- plained that no information as to the actual progress of the hunt for Lingie s glayer would be made ‘public at this time for fear of hampering the in- vestigation. Raiders from the State's attotney’s office vesterday made a series Of visits to resorts near Burlington, Wis., in an unsuccessful effort to trap James (Red) Forsythe. hunted as Lingle's slayer. The officers believe Forsythe was in the vicinity. but that he was.tipped off and escaped before the raiders arrived. » As near as the financial statement made public yesterday could reveal, Lingle in the past two years, had an income of approximately $60,000 a year.
