KENNAMER CASE WITNESS KILLED Mystery Deepens in Tulsa Slaying—Youth’s Death Held Suicide. By the Associated Press. TULSA, Okla., December 10.—The sudden death of young Sidney Born— police call it suicide—has plunged the “Gorrell case” into new and deeper mystery. The youth was found dead yester- day at the steering wheel of his father’s automobile, a bullet through his head and his father's pistol lying 4n his lap. Born, who was 19 vears old, had previously told police that he had driven young Phillip Kennamer, also 19, to the place where Kenamer and John Gorrell met and where Gorrell was shot and killed by Kennamer. Wealthy Youth Arrested. Homer F. Wileox, jr., 17, son of 8 wealthy Tulsa oil man, was ar- rested after he and his father ap- peared today at police headquarters for a conference in connection with the slaying of Gorrell. He was booked on a charge of “malicious mischief.” Asked what would constitute ma- licious mischief in this instance, Po- lice Chief Charles Carr said: “Well, shooting out street lights in the vicin- ity of the spot where Gorrell was slain would be it.” Two street lights in the immediate vicinity of the Gorrell shooting had been found broken by bullets. The Wilcoxes had come to head- quarters to discuss a purported extor- tion note which has figured largely in the case up to now and which was supposedly aimed at Wilcox through his 18-year-old daughter Vir- ginia. Kennamer, who claims he fired in self-defense, is held in jail on a mur- der charge. He is the son of a Fed- eral judge. Born was found shot less than 15 minutes after he had tried unsuccessfully to reach young Kenna- mer by telephone. Calling from a drug store pay station, Born asked the Jailer to let Kennamer come to the phone. The jailer refused. “Oh, hell,” Born was heard to say as he hung up. “It's suicide,” declared Sergt. Henry B. Maddux, in charge of the investi- gation of the Gorrell slaying. “My son would never have done such a thing,” declared Prof. Sidney Born, prominent engineer and mem- ber of the University of Tulsa faculty. *“He was too level-headed.” “Isn't that awful?” exclaimed young Kennamer, Maddux declined to advance his theory of the motive, but expressed his positive opinion that it was closely linked with the Gorrell case. That many of the other associates of Born, Gorrell and Kennamer were alarmed was obvious. Hint at Fear. Ted Bath and Robert Thomas, pros- pective State witnesses, told authori- ties they needed the protection of firearms. Neither, however, disclosed whom they feared. County Attorney Holly Anderson said Bath told him that Gorrell, the son of a Tulsa physician, and young Kennamer had tried to get him to Join them in robbery ventures. ‘Thomas told Anderson that a few minutes after Gorrell was slain Ken- namer told in detail of the killing. Born was described by his friend as a nervous, high-strung type men- tally and “one of the cleanest of the ‘bunch.” —— s ALL-DAY SNOWFALL PREDICTED HERE; MANY ACCIDENTS (Continued From First Page.) main highways to a funeral pace, caused damage to an Alexandria fire engine and sent four persons to the hospital.

By the Associated Press. MINNEAPOLIS, December 10.— Ethan Allen, descendant of the Amer- ican soldier of that name, who led an intrepid band of Green Mountain boys sgainst Fort Ticonderoga Juring the Revolutionary War, headed & lit- tie band of 49 adults and 85 children from Minneapolis into anowbound Northern Minnesota Saturday to be- gin life all over again. They will spend the Winter in a community building on 640 acres of land in Itasca County and in the Spring their co-operative homestead project will get under way in earnest. Winter Months’ Schedule. During the Winter months the men, representing various trades, will saw logs for 20 small houses to be con- structed in the Spring. The women and girls will sew and cook. ‘The project was devised and car- ried out by Allen, former superintend- ent of construction for a gasoline company here, after he had lost his job a year ago. He hitch-hiked to Washington last Summer and pre- gn)t:d his plan to Government offi- als. After investigation they approved the homestead project and advanced $9,000 to purchase the 640 acres, promising additional funds for the construction of houses and to pro- vide each family with two cows, two pigs, a hive of bees, 100 chickens and farm machinery. Work to Be Co-operative. All the work will be done on a co-operative basis, each man drawing on a central store of supplies and being paid in cash for the hours he works over what he is charged with. The balance will be divided equally among the 20 families. ‘The project will be carried out un- der observance of the Minnesota State Emergency Relief Administration, which is planning similar co-peratives for 5,000 families in the State. FAMILY DISCOVERED SLEEPING IN AUTO Transients Committee Protests Treatment of Three Evicted From Home. Elwood Street, director of public welfare, heard protests this morning from the Transient Executive Com- mittee against the treatment accorded Edward Weber, his wife and their 3- year-old son, who were found at- tempting to sleep last night in a dilapidated automobile parked in the 300 block of C street. The family was taken to the first precinct. They told police they had been evicted from their home in the 200 block of C street southwest. Emergency provision was made for their accommodation last night, with Weber sleeping at the Transient Bu- reau and his wife and child at a rooming house. The transient’s committee, headed by Lewis B. Smith, protested that Arthir Rosichan, Transient Bureau, had sald nothing will be doné about the case before Friday because the family already has received its felief allowance for this Btreet promised to attempt to solve the difficulty. Weber receives $13 & month from the Veterans’' Bureau, Smith said, and the family gets $10.25 a week from the Transient Bureau. The Webers were evicted, Street was told, when they had to apply some of the money given them for rent toward the pur- chase of Winter clothes for the child.
