R. LYMAN, police surgeon, gave the report of his post-mortem findings on the body of one Pat O'Brien to Prof. Fordney. Three bullets extracted. One from the abdomen, severing aorta artery (Exhibit 1). Pieces of O'Brien’'s pipe stem ex- tracted with bullet from right hand (Exhibit 2). “Bullet entered neck, exited left cheek (Exhibit 3). Cause of death, abdominal hemmor- rhage. Eric Swanson readily admitted he had killed O’Brien, but —in self - de- fense! Stepping into the ‘warehouse on his way home to pay Pat a visit he had apparently taken the old watchman by surprise as he sat dozing in his chair. Upon Swan- son's entrance he turned his flash light on him and grabbed his gun. Swanson called to him but either through confusion or because he didn’t recognize him, O'Brien fired twice; one shot going through the cuff of his overcoat. It was then that he had fired and before he realized what he had done to his old friend, he pulled the trigger three times! O'Brien was found with his cap pulled tightly on his head, the flash light by his body turned on and the bottle of ink upset over his reports, ob- literating the last entry! WHY DID FORDNEY ARREST SWANSON FOR O'BRIEN'S MUR- DER? (For Solution See Page A-6.) NSULL INDICTED WITH 18 OTHERS Son and Brother Included; Head of Big Chicago Bank Named. ., By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, February 27.—Samuel Insull, sr.; 2 members of his family and 16 other former officers and di- rectors of the bankrupt Corporation Securities Co. were indicted today on charges of using the malils in a scheme to defraud. Heading the list of defendants were the former head of the vast Insull utilities and investment empire, now an exile in Greece; his son Samuel, jr., stil a member of the executive staff of the operating utilities in Chicago, and his brother Martin, who is in Can- ada fighting extradition to Chicago on State charges of larceny and embezzle- ment. Stanley Field, nephew of the first Marshall Field and chairman of the Continental-Illinois National Bank & Trust Co. of Chicago, largest bank west of New York, also was named. He was a director of the once $150,000,000 investment house that was one qf Insull's last great flings in the utilities investment field. The indictments culminated a six- month perusal of Insull ledgers by the auditing corps of the United States Bureau of Investigation, interpreted to the grand jury by Government account- ants and witnesses who had lost their money in the collapse of the securities. ‘The Government alleged that Insull and his co-directors of the Corporation Securities Co., were responsible for a system of bookkeeping that made prof- its apparent while the company actually carned nothing. Use of the United States mails to circularize investors was the basis for the mail fraud charge. Prosecutors admitted, however, that it might be impossible to bring the two elder Insulls to trial on the mail fraud charge since it was not an extraditable offense. Samuel, sr., already has de- feated attempts of the State of Illinois to return him to Chicago on the lar- ceny and embezzlement counts since these charges also were not grounds for extradition from Greece.

With a view to adapting phases of the successful property improvement ‘immpa!gn in Philadelphia to the Reno- vize Washington movement, a delega- tion representing the local Renovize Campaign Committee todsy made a fiying trip of investigation to the Penn- ‘sylvanu city. | The delegation, consisting of Arthur B. Heaton, general chairman of the Renovize Washington Campaign Com- mittee; Charles J. Columbus, manag- ing director of the Washington Adver- tising Club, and Col. Leroy W. Herron, member of the club's special Renovize Washington Publicity Committee, left Washington Airport at 8 o'clock this morning. - ‘The group will be t in Phila- delphia by leaders of ‘the Renovize Philadelphia campaign, the encourag- ing achievements of which inspired the Washington Board of Trade to I sponsor a similar drive in the Nation's Capital. Full Details Sought. The Washington emissaries will seek full details of the Philadelphia plan, with special attention to the intensive methods used in canvassing all residen- tial and business properties in that city. Under this system a soliciting or- ganization, composed of divisions and teams, similar to the Community Ches! set-up, has approached every property owner jn Philadelphia with a request that definite pledges for renovizing work be signed. Mr. Columbus and Col. Herron will study particularly the publicity pro- gram _that is credited with having put the Philadelphia drive over with un- expected enthusiasm. This program included newspaper publicity, radio broadcasts, posters and many other methods of publicizing the campaign. The delegation plans to confer with Wwilliam A. Law, chairman of the Phila- delphia campaign, and other leaders in the drive there. The group expects to return by air late today. Chairman Heaton will report his findings to the General Campaign Committee upon his return. The com- mittee then will adopt a concrete plan of procedure for the local drive| and will set up all the machinery necessary to carry the movement forward along a dozen fronts. Pool Excites Interest. The Philadelphians have manifested great interest in the action of the Dis- trict Bankers' Association in creating a $500,000 credit pool for home im- provement loans to home owners who may need to borrow in order to join in the renovizing movement. Chaisman Heaton already has described this pool in telephonic conversations with Phila- delphia leaders and will supply them today with supplementary information on the loan plan. ‘The exchange of ideas is expected to prove beneficial to both cities and may result in a future liaison for the mutual good of the two campaigns. Inauguration of a new national ad- ministration simultaneously with the opening up of the recurring seasonal construction period offers a propitious opportunity to defeat decisively the forces of depression, Edward J. Harding, managing _director of the Associated General Contractors of America, de- clared in a statement issued here today. Bold action in launching immediately an adequate program of both public and private construction will find the Nation by next Fall once again in a period of thriving activity and defi- nitely on the road to recovery, he as- serted. Emergency Act Hailed. Speedy enactment by the House of Repe:sem.ams and approval by the President of liberalization of the con- struction loan provisions of the emer- ! gency relief and construction act, as recently passed by the Senate, together with general adoption and intensifica- tion of the local campaigns to bring out needed public and private con- struction, will give construction the op- portunity, heretofore denied, to prove jts power as the key to prosperity, Harding stated. “For the past three years,” he pointed out, “we have heard much reference to the construction industry as the key to the return of.prosperity, and there have been few that dispute that construction is a means of relieving unemployment and distributing pur- chasing power. An examination of the facts, however, shows that adequate action has not been taken to utilize the industry for this purpose—in other words, construction has not been given a chance.” Harding believes the incoming ad- ministration must push needed public works construction to the fullest ex- tent, facilitate the financing of all con- struction authorized under a liberaliza- tion of the emergency relief and con- struction act and encourage local ini- tiative throughout the country to bring out work-producing projects, both pub- lic and private. He pointed to the encouraging re- sults of the various State Committees of the National Committee for Trade Recovery and of the local “renoviz- ing" campaigns here and in other cities in organized efforts to stimulate recovery through construction, and urged that intensification of these ef- forts on a nation-wide scale be under- taken. The construction credit pool recently created by local bankers in connection with the Capital's “renoviz- ing” campaign is worthy of general emulation in other communities, Hard- ing said, and, together with a liberal- ization of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation’s lending policies, - would provide the needed financing to allow the country to work itself out of the depression through construction. EEr b Death News Awaits Sister- A message from the Philadelphia police received by the local police this morning s that Miss Flossie Brown, 1400 block of Maryland avenue northeast, be told of the death in Phila- delphia of her brother, Alonzo Brown.

WEALTHY KENTUCKY BROTHERS LIVE ON ONLY $25 ANNUALLY “Keep Your Land, and It Will Keep You,” Is Their Motto—Riches During Good Times Were Placed at $250.,000: Special Dispatch to The Star. LOUISVILLE, Ky., February 21. “Keep your land and it will keep yo! Kentucky has produced many men whose fortunes were based on that | practice. Sometimes, however, the | literal application of that policy pro- duces something in addition to a| fortune. For instance, peaceful soli- tude. Consider, for example, the two old brothers who live alone in a two-room | log cabin within a stone’s throw of their | birthplace in the Grayson County hills. ‘They are rich in lands, timber and Government bonds. The brothers are Dent Higdon, 93, and Bamberry Higdon, 78. They have kept their land—a great tract of 1,200 acres, most of it in virgin timber. They inherited it from their pioneer father, ‘Thomas Higdon. Dent says his father | bought the tract with a horse and $5 cash. The brothers are eccentric. but have | sound business acumen. They keep their money and bonds in banks. Live in Seclusion. Unmarried, they live in contented se- clusion. They tend their own business with a maximum of three trips a year to Leitchfield, the county seat. Out- side of taxes, $25 a year will cover their simple needs—salt, flour, coffee, an oc- casional suit of overalls and shoes. Bamberry's whiskers fall to the first button on his overall jumper. His plercing eyes are set deeply, shaded by sitaggy eycbrows. His hands are hard and knotted. “I've come to see your brother. I'm told he is the last Confederate veteran lnldGrlyson County,” their interviewer said. Yes, he fought. I was too Bamberry leads the way to the living room. Peering through half-blind eyes the older brother rises from his chair by the log fire on the great stone hearth. Excepting two ruddy cheeks and a beld forehead, Dent's face and head are covered with bushy, snow-white whiskers and hair. His beard, however, ‘s a trifle longer than Bamberry's, reaching to the second jumper button. He is plump, erect, alert. But for the whiteness of his beard and hair, Dent :night be taken for the younger of the wo. Keep Their Possessions. Dent and Bamberry have not thrown anything away for 50 years. Of course, they never bought rhany things, but those they did buy are still in the cabin. Dent celebrated his twenty-first year in 1875 by purchasing a straw hat. That hat still is in good shape and in the Winter it hangs on a chair. There are hundreds of empty match boxes around the living room, remnants of clothes that have been worn through two decades, discarded shoes are pitched in one cornere, t{ld trousers hang every- where. The following items were dis- cernible at a casual examination: Flat iron, sheep shears, carpenter’s squate, hand saw, box of salve, shoe last, several flints, Dent's straw hat, Jjug, trowel, piece of lye soap, bundle of roots and herbs, box of old ments, 1920 calendar, several pairs of ants, lantern, box of matches, old felt t, scissors, half a dozen twists of tebacco, 1908 report of the Bureau of AT THE FIRST SNEEZE Mistol NIGHT and MORNING SOUL MATES You can’t separate BETTER HEAT from BETTER COAL.

The old soldier patted the anclent piece. Changed to Cap and Ball “It used to be a flintlock,” Dent ex- plained, “but I had it changed to & cap and ball when flintlocks went out.” The brother's stove is an open fire on the stone hearth. Utensils are a roasting oven, skillet, kettle and coffee Bamberry is the cook. The eating tion—is so close to the hearth Bamberry can transfer a baked potato from hot ashes to Dent's plate without taking| a step. Meat, potatoes, eggs, biscuits, ash cakes, honey and preserves are their principal diet. Bamberry’'s speciality is | biscuits, which he bakes in the roast- | ing oven. Potatoes and ash cakes are cooked in hot ashes. Meat is fried di- rectly over the fire. Were the old fellows so minded they could sell their cooking and dining wares to an antique dealer, replace them from a five-and-ten and maybe have enough left over to buy groceries the rest of their lives. Dent and Bamberry have never been troubled with matrimony. “Nope, I never married and what's more I don't intend to,” Dent said em- phatically. “I reckon I sparked around as much as anybody when I was & boy, but it never got me anywhere.” At B. 1. Plerce’s store in the little community which is the village nearest | the Higdon cabin, eggs were selling at 8 cents a dozen. But the dozen men sitting around the big stove were not talking the price of eggs. News had spread that a visitor had gone over to see the community’s most famous characters. Mules Never Sheared. “We folks.around here like the; two old fellows,” Mr. Pierce said. “I say they are not stingy, just saving. If they owe you a dime they don't rest until it's paid. If you owe them =2 dime they don't rest until they get it. Nothing wrong with that. I call it just saving.” Another neighbor spoke up. “You ought to see them plowing," he said. “One holds the plow and the other drives the mules. Say, you ought to see them mules. Their manes and tails have never been sheared. They sure look shaggy.” The men appraised the Higdon wealth at a quarter of a million dollars back when times were good. The storekeeper summed it all up. “Yes,” he said, “I reckon they are right curious old men. Still, all they've | ever done was to mind their own busi- ness and let other people alone. In a way, I guess that's being curious these days and times.” (Copyright. 1933, by North American News- paper Alliance, Inc.) -~ — 11 Die, 150 Homeless in Fife.
