LS PRIEST TESTIFIES. INBROTHERS TRIAL Says Man Who Fled After Lingle Shooting Looked Like Defendant. * | proverbial hardihood of By the Assoclated Press. CRIMINAL COURT BUILDING, Chi- cago, March 27—Father John Reynolds of Notre Dame University appeared as a State witness in the Leo Brothers murder trail today and testified that “Mr. Brothers answers the description™” of the man who fled from the Alfred Lingle slaying. Clark Applegate, Kentucky turfman and a_State’s witness, was dismissed from the stand after the defense had failed to shake his story that he saw Brothers_drop the pistol that killed Al- fred (“Jake”) Lingle, newspaper re- porter, last June 9. Cross-examination Held. Cross-examination of the red-haired, affable, race horse trainer was only brief and brought out little in addition to his sensational testimony of yester- day. He did not see the pistol in Brothers' hand, Applegate said, but he saw him toss the weapon about 15 feet from the body of the slain reporter. “How do you know that it ever was in his band then?” he was asked. “Well, he couldn't toss it with his foot, could he,” snapped back the wit- ness. Applegate was the fifth State witness to testify that he saw a man running from tie Randolph street pedestrian tunnel after the shocting and to iden- tify Brothers as that man, but he was the first to say he saw Brothers throw down thé gun, saw the shot fired. Fingerprints Lacking. Fingerprints to establish the identity of the slayer, however, were lacking, as Henry Porsche of the coroner’s office, another witness, told the jury that none was on the pistol after it had been re- eovered by the authorities. Applegate’s testimony brought to five the total number of prosecution wit- nesses who testified they saw Brothers near the scene of the shooting, but none of the others said Brothers threw away a weapon. They were Warren O. Wil- liams, former Michigan City, Ind., po- liceman; Otto Swoboda, a ‘herb tonic Lumberjack Felled By Tree Saves Life By Sawing Self Out Sets Broken Leg in Chip Splint, Makes Crutches, Hobbles Home.
