" A8 CHICAGO ASSAULT LAID T0 MANIAG Blaze Started in Room After Attack on Show Girl . Basis of Theory. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, September 26.—An agile maniac was blamed today for the assault on Alda Deery as the dark- eyed New York show girl lay in seri- ous condition at s hospital. . Reconstruction of the crime, sald Capta George O'Connor, convinced him a madman stole up a fire esca) swung into the 323-year-ol girl's hotel room before yesterday's dawn and attacked her. Before leaving, the assailant started a blaze in his vic- tim’s clothes closet. Only a man with a twisted mind, the captain reasoned, would attract attention to his deed by starting a fire. The smoke brought Dorothy Ryan, associate of Miss Deery in a vaudeville act, from an adjoining room. The young actress had been criminally as- saulted and beaten. A silk stocking was wound about her neck. ' At the Cook County Hospital today physicians determined Miss Deery was suffering from a brain concussion and pneumonia. They were concerned, too, by indications of pleurisy. At the same time, detectives were ordered to search the Loop and South Bide for colored suspects. This action was based on the fact officials held colored men responsible for the slay- ing of three women in the last five months under circumstances that par- slleled Miss Deery’s case. Mrs, Flor- ence Castle and Mrs, Lillian Guild were beaten to death with bricks. A water pitcher was used to smash the skull of Mrs. Mary Louise Trammell. A brick, traced to a parking lot next to Miss Deery's hotel, was found stuffed between the mattress on her In all instances, investigators con- cluded, the intrduer used the fire es- cape in entering and leaving his vic- tims’ hotel rooms. Miss Deery was able to furnish lit- tle aid. She said she had visited a night elub with a “darling chap” she declined to name. He left her in the hotel lobby, she added, and she went to her room, laid down and remem- bered nothing else until she awoke in & hospital. % Pitts (Continued From First Page.) except as this may be accomplished by the granting of parole. The al- lege change in applicant's viewpoint is important from the parole stand- point, but where a crime is of such a nature that it injures a substantial part of the community and inflicts great injury on innocent persons, and where the applicant for parole was the principal beneficiary of his own wrong-doing, the board must con- sider other matters than the attitude of the applicant. “Consideration must be given not only to the question of whether ap- plicant is ready to return to society, but whether soclety is ready to re- ceive him and to aid in his rehabili- tation. “A parole plan suggested by appli- cant to be worked out in New York Oity is vague and indefinite, without even s specification as to the nature of the work involved.” THE WEATHER District of Columbia—Increasing cloudiness and warmer; tomorrow showers, followed by cooler tomor=- row night; gentle to moderate south- east and south winds.

He said he learned to navigate in the Navy during the war and has crossed to Europe several times on old windjammers. SPEED FLYER DIES Ira McConaughey Formerly Held Land Plane Record.
