He produced exactly contrary evidence from a colored man named Felton. Felton's evidence, Bonynge declared, was that he had been engaged with other colored men by Winsch, first to distribute circulars to induce stevedores to strike and then to set fire to supplies detined for Europq using tubes filled with acid, and furthermore to spread disease among horses and mules col- lected for lh!gment to Europe at the embarkation depots of Norfolk, New- port News and New York.

OWNER IS NAMED Expert Says Slug Came From Pistol of Danny Stanton . of Capone Faction. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, September 23—A gun used in the slaying of Jack Zuta, gangster, was traced by ballistics ex- perts today to Danny Stanton, one of Chicago’s 26 “public enemies.” Zuta, known as one of gangland's master minds, was shot down as he fed nickels to a slot machine in a resort near Delafleld, Wis., August 1. The discovery of the ballistics ex A working directly under Acting lice Commissioner Alcock, would, if ac- cepted, cause- police to abandon their original theory that Zuta was killed by members of the Moran-Alello gang, of which he was a leader. “Dapper” Danny Stanton is generally al th the Al Capone faction. The guns used by the four men who slew Zuta were a machine gun, an au- tomatic 45 and two .38-caliber revolvers. Sixteen slugs were taken from Zuta's body, and put under the ballistics ex- perts’ microscopes. Yesterday the ex- perts reported one of the slugs had been fired from a .38-caliber pistol that had belonged to “Dapper” Danny. Stanton, at one time a gang leader in his own right, is at liberty under bond pending the hearing on vagrancy charges. He was the first “public enemy” to be picked up in the police drive against the “enemies.” VON ELM’S 143 TOPS FIELD IN AMATEUR; JONES BEGINS LATE (Continued From First Page.) ped on the very lip.
