District Attorney Seizes
Fleet As Gambling
Case Evidence
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 12. — VP)—
Long Beach police Monday releas
ed 11 water taxis impounded last
Thursday night in an effort to halt
operation of Tony Cornero Stralla's
"ambling ship Bunker Hill, but the
district attorney immediately seiz
ed the taxis for use as evidence.
Meanwhile a hearing set for
Monday in United States District
court on an injunction against city
and county law enforcement of
ficers was not held.
Counsel for George Garvin, ope
rator of the water taxi service and
a co-defendant with Stralla on
charges of conspiring to violate
state gambling laws, asked that it
be postponed until after a hearing
Friday in Long Beach Superior
court on a petition for a similar
injunction. Garvin had asked the
injunction.
Alvin Slaight, Long Beach chief
of police, announced the release
of the water taxi fleet after con
ferring with the city attorney on
the city's liability for impound
ing it. Slaight declared, however,
that any further attempts to use
the wa'er taxis to carry customers
to the floating casino would bring
arrests of the operators.

STATE ATTORNEY
SEEKS INDICTMENT
OF ELDERLY WOMAN
i
FAIRFIELD, 111., Aug. 12. —(JF)—
State’s Attorney Virgil W. Mills
said Monday a report from a St.
Louis chemist disclosed 1.1 grains
of arsenic in the stomach of Lorena
Clark, whose body was exhumed
last week, and that he would ask
a Wayne county grand jury for a
murder indictment against her sis
ter, Mrs. Lillie B. Winter, 76-year
old great grandmother.
Mrs. Winter already has been
charged with murder in the arsenic
poisoning death of her great grand
son, Donald Eugene Martin. 3
Held without bond, she has denied
the charge.
The St. Louis chemist’s report
also disclosed .75 of a grain of
arsenic in the pelvic region. An
analysis of the stomach of Mrs.
Winter’s husband, who died in 1942,
showed no traces of arsenic, Mills
said. Mrs. Winter’s sister died in
1921.
GROUP ON BUDGET
WILL MEET TODAY
Community Chest Commit
tee To Hold First Ses
sion On 1937 Funds
The first meeting of the Commun
ity Chest budget committee to
study the 1947 financial needs of
chest Red Feather service agencies
will be held Tuesday afternoon at
four o’clock in the director’s room
of the Wilmington Savings and
Trust Company, according to E.
L. White, committee chairman.
The budget committee consists
of twelve members, including John
H. Hardin, vice-chairman, Mrs.
Herbert Bluethenthal, the Rev.
Walter B. Freed, J. Holmes Davis,
Sr., Warren S. Johnson, Pomeroy
Nichols, W. Elliott O’Neal, Howard
A. Penton, Harmon C. Rorison and
J. G. Thornton. Rabbi Samuel A.
Friedman, president of the Com
munity Council, is an ex-officio
member of the committee.
Member Agency Each
Each member of the committee
has been assigned one member
agency for special study. Since
early in July, individual hearings
have been held by each member
with representatives of the agency
assigned to him. Reports of the con
ferences will take up the major
part of the meeting, White said.
White explained that the data
presented by the agencies to the
budget committee consisted of
itemized expenses and income for
the past three years plus estimates
for next year. Once these estimates
are approved, or revised, by the
committee, the estimated deficit
between income and expense is
the amount of the appropriation
recommended by the committee
to the Chest board for approval
and inclusion in the October cam
paign.
Long Stuly
It usually takes three or four
meetings, averaging about two
hours each, before the budget com
mittee is ready to present its
final recommendations to the Board
of Directors, White said.
