CONTEMPLATED Levieh Declares Well Kmown Des Molnes Citizen Proposed to Pay Murdered M to Desiat Prosecution of Gamblers, CHARGES BRIBERY (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Aug. 8.—(Special.)—The eity police and detective fomce In Des Moines is about out of cluep on the Finkle- stein murder case, They are still work- ing on the theory that Levich and Walker had something to do with the case, but admit that their chance of securing a conviction is very small. It Is claimed that the stor told by Walker and his assoclates conflict and that he will not be able to establish an alibl, ae he has said he could. The fact has been established beyond question that Walker and Levich were seen riding to- gether the evening of the murder. Beyond this nothing new has boen accomplished. Ann Davidson, a sister of Mrs. Finkel- stein, met Levich on the street and com- menced & furious assault upon the latter with an umbrella. No harm was dome, but it Indicates the feeling existing over the matter, The police have become Interested In the clue that two persons were seen near the place of the murder just a few min- utes before it occurred. They are investi- gating this matter and hope that some- thing may come of it, but the indications are that it will yield little. Harry Levich made the startling declara- tion this morning that he had been asked by well-known gamblers of this city within the last two weeks to act as mediator be- tween the gamblers and Finkals recelve and ‘receipt for money the murdered man in case the latter would cease his prosecution. The terms of the proposition embodied an offer of §400 cash and $20 a month to be delivered to Levich and turned over to Finkelsteln so long as the agreement was adhered to. Mr. Levich refused this morning to state the name of the person making. the propo- sition, intimating it would develop In jus- tice court during the preliminary bearing Fridey. He sald, however, he was well known in Des Moines and would be readily recognized upon ‘he publication of his name. “This person came to me less than a week before the murder of Finkelstein,™ said Levich this morning. “He wanted to know if there wasn't some way whereby Finkelstein would agree to cease his per- secutions of the gamblers. I told him I dldn’'t koow, -as I had not talked with Finkelsteln on that subject recently. He then wanted to know if I would see Finkel- stein and talk the matter over with him. lmudhmlmdmnmmunm- =:is pay PLaRistis 3%0 & uflmu-vmululummt ‘was not broken. Te Upbuild Butter Industry. Hon.
