NEW CRUDGE'CLUE| [tareay waie] ETHIOPIANS BLAST SEEN IN' SLAYING ,Girl Says Man Threatened . to ‘Slap Down’ Mrs, Castle. By the Assoclated Press, 7 CHICAGO, * July 9.— Detectives Jturned to & new “grudge” clue today 4n the slaying of Mrs. Florence Thompson Castle, 24-year-old enter- tainer of the North Clark street resort “district, after writing off as a false .Jead the arrest of Edward Lynch, 31, ‘ex-convict of the Colorado State Prison. . Lynch was cleared last night of ;any connection with the slaying, but a new train of inquiry was started ~by the story of Miss Helen Davis, 20, “an entertainer and a friend of Mrs. . Castle, that a man had told her: # “I'm going to slap her down. She ~-did me a dirty trick.” + Asked for “Mickey.” 4 Miss Davis said the man entered & tavern where she worked, a few “@ays before the slaying, and made the statement after asking for “*“Mickey,” the victim’s nickname. Miss Davis saw Lynch and said he was not the man. Previously Jimmy ?Thompson, 7-year-old son of Mrs. ~Castle, had declared the ex-convict <did not resemble the “big man” the ;boy saw slug his mother to death in « their hotel room. Lynch was sought because he was “& friend of J. W. Bolin, former hus- band of Mrs. Castle and a fellow in- ,mate at the Colorado prison. The = police theorized the friendship might - have brought Lynch and Mrs. Castle together in Chicago. 4 Held as Fugitive. Police held Lynch as a fugitive from | Denver, Colo, where he was wanted i connection with a $5,163 hold- up last Septaember 27. He said he was willing to go to Denver to face the charge. Investigation of another slaying » with a North Clark street locale— T that of Audrey Vallette, 31-year-old -party girl killed seven days ago— hinged today on a promise by Eddie .. Freed, an intimate of the victim, to aid the police. Mrs. Ruth Carmelia Freed, 34, his - wife, has been sought since employes of the hotel where the party girl ,.was slain said the missing woman was the one who fled from Audrey's room after the shooting. Freed was released yesterday on a writ of habeas corpus after his at- torney promised to “try to help the - public in every way we can.” “TOWN IN NEW YORK SPURNS STATE AID . Dunkirk Mayor Says It's Too Ex- pensive—Warns Able-Bodied to Get Jobs. By the Assoclated Press. DUNKIRK, N. Y., July 9.—Relief | in Dunkirk is confined to “a food arder with no promise of another,” since the city turned down State aid 'as too expensive on June 22. | Mayor Walter L. Roberts says private | . agencies must provide medical care, clothing and similar needs of the job- -less. Relief rolls have been slashed | _from 700 names to 150, every able- : bodied man being dropped with orders to “get a job and don't come running “ to the city with everything.” Most of *. those getting food are aged people. | The mayor’s attempt to free the city from what he calls “the relief atti- “tude” has brought inquiries from other States. He says his action cut relief costs | « from $11,000 to $20,000 monthly to « $3,600. Dr. Harry B. Lyon, former Republic- an mayor and chairman of the relief board, said flatly there was no need aJor the mayor’s action. “All they have | “been doing here,” he said, “is taking | 7 the 75 per cent the State sent in and| Astretching it as far as it would go. 1They haven't spent a cent of city money,” he said. 5 The mayor promised, however, “we iwon't let any one starve.” +o_ The mayor has modified his stand on *no gas bills, no rents” somewhat. - 4 HOl}SES TOO SHAKY “Citizens Protest to Commissioners + in Camden, N.
