NO ONE‘BACK
OF THRONE,’
LESLIE WARNS
Governor Tells Statehouse
Employes He Has No
Spokesman,
RAPS FULLER, MORGAN
Address Regarded as Blow
at Unofficial Liaison
Workers in State.
Formal disavoval of any person
claiming to be his spokesman, at
tempting to dictate state' appoint
ment* through their known friend
ship with him, was made today by
Governor Harry G. Leslie in a for
mal statement to all department
head*.
The Governor also declared he
would make any recommendations
that he desired, and reiterated lack
of political ambition, declaring he
is not building a political organiza
tion.
Leslie’s repudiation of any spokes
man was construed by state officials
as a blow at Bert Fuller and Bert
Morgan, who managed his guber
natorial campaign in 1928. The two
are said to have assumed the po
sition of unofficial liaison workers
between the Governor and state de
partments.
Conference Is Called
Notification of a conference in the
Governor's office was telephoned
each department head this morn
ing following a length conference
between Leslie and his political
mentor and adviser, Henry Marshall,
Lafayette publisher.
Marshall is believed to have told
the Governor of flagrant attempts
at domination of appointments by
the “two Berts.”
Without any preparatory utter
ance. the Governor said:
“I want no outsiders messing in
appointments and I don’t want to
be seen in a position of dictating
to any department.
“I am not going to stand in the
role of running any departments.
If I recommend a man for a posi
tion. It is only for a trial, and if he
doesn’t make good the department
head may let him go without fear
of me.
"Don’t listen to any threats that
♦ his or that are my wishes. What
we want is efficiency.
No Political Ambitions
“T am not building any political
organization and I have no political
ambitions,” Leslie said heatedly.
"I don't want : the departments in
terfered with. And you are not to
heed anyone coming to you saying
I want this or that man appointed
•‘I won’t O. K. any appointment
unless you have reason to believe
in the efficiency of the appointee.
“I have heard certain persons
saying the Governor favors the ap
pointment of this man or that man
or the Governor wants this man or
that man appointed.
“I shall make my own recommen
dations to department heads.
"The best politics is the best gov
ernment. I pride myself on my ap
pointments. that they are not alto
gether political, but for efficiency.”
Leslie also asked departments to
settle their differences with one an
other and not through the news
papers.
Commissions Reproved
This was seen as reproof of the
quarrel between the public sendee
commission and the highway com
mission over the crossing of an
electric railroad in southen Indian
in which' both departments have
been having contentions.
Leslie ended his statement with
the declaration he was not address
ing his remarks to any particular
department or in regard to any par
ticular person.
“I have, however, heard that al
leged spokesmen for me are. inter
fering with appointments.”
John J. Brown, highway director,
immediately praised the Governor's
stand as leading to highest efficiency.
He was joined in this by Luther
Symons, state banking commis
sioner, Richard Lieber. director of
the department of conservation, and
Mrs. Grace B. Urbahn*. treasurer of
state.
Those who have particularly re
sented the alleged influence of
Fuller and Morgan gathered in the
hall later to exchange congratu
lations.

CHIEF’S PLEA FOR
MERCY UNHEEDED,
WITNESS DECLARES
Textile Strikers Kept Firing at Wounded
Man on Ground, According to
Gastonia Policeman.
By United press
CHARLOTTE, N. C., Sept. 6.—A police officer limped to the witness
chair in the murder trial of sixteen textile workers here today and told
the jury that Police Chief Aderholt begged for mercy as he lay wounded
during the gun battle in Gastonia on the night of June 7.
T. A. Gilbert, the witness who was wounded himself in the battle,
said he told Aderholt he was shot.
“He hurried toward me as if to help me: then he was shot,” the
witness said.
APPEAL ON TAX
LEVYPLANNED
41.5-Cent County Rate to
Be Contested,
Marion county’s new high 41.5-
cent tax levy for 1930, sat Thursday
by the county council, today was be
ing prepared for appeal to the state
board of tax commissioners.
The tax board will be asked to cut
the levy to a figure between 35 and
38 cents, and to make a 50 per cent
reduction in the 5-cent free gravel
road fund, Harry Miesse, secretary
of the Indiana Taxpayer’s Associa
tion, said today.
“The council defeated its own pur
pose,” Miesse said, “in reducing a
large number of items in the various
budgets, and did not follow the rec
ommendations of civic interests
when they increased figures which
ought to have been reduced.”
William H. Book of the civic
affairs committee of the Chamber
of Commerce, recommending a. 39ti
cent levy, also said appeal to the
state tax body is contemplated, al
though a detailed study of the fig
ures set by the council would be
necessary.
A total of $877,209.16 was out from
the budget requests of county de
partments by, councilmen, denying
chiefly salary raises for anti-Coffin
county employes. The 1929 tax rate
is 31.5 cents.

LIE DETECTOR EXPERT
TO AID HOOVER PROBE
BY JOSEPH S. WASNEY
, Inited Press StafT Correspondent
WASHINGTON. Sept. 6.—An ex
ponent of the lie detector radio on
all police automobiles and other uses
of science in crime detection along
lines made popular by the fiction
detectives, has been employed as
police expert by the Hoover Law
Observance and Enforcement com
mission.
The new expert. August Vollmer,
at his desk today as soon as his
appointment was announced, told
the United Press he expected the
‘lie detector” in time would supplant
entirely the so-called third degree,
now used by police in serious crimes.
Noted for his twenty-four years
as head of the Berkeley (Cal.) po
lice force, during which he pioneered
in use of scientific methods. Vollmer
said his devices were developed
through necessity of circumstances,
and particularly by the adoption of
automobiles by criminals.
The "lie detector.” an instrument
for determining a person's hidden
reactions, still is in its infancy, he
said.
“ Oh. Lord. T'm shot.’ the chief
cried out. 'Please don't shoot me any
more.’
“They kept on shooting,” Gilbert
said. "I didn’t fall, but the chief lay
there on the ground while shots flew T
all around us.”
Tells About Trip
Gilbert, 52-year-old Gastonia of
ficer, the first witness of the day.
described the trip of Police Chief
Aderholt and officers Roach, Fer
guson and Roach to union grounds.
“Aderholt, Roach and I got out of
the car,” said Gilbert. “The chief
asked, ‘What is the trouble?’ and
one of the strikers’ guards said,
‘none of your damned business.’
“One pointed a gun at me and I
grabbed it and threw the man to
the ground. I stayed to guard the
man and the chief and Roach
walked toward union headquarters.
“Then I heard cries of ‘shoot
them, shoot them’ and W. H. Mc-
Ginnis (a defendant) shot me.
“Then shots poured from every
part of imion hall. There were
about fifteen or eighteen shots.
“The chief fell on the ground. He
said. ‘Oh, Lord, I’m shot. Please
don’t shoot me any more,’ but they
kept on shooting.”
No Liquor in Seven Years
Gilbert said he had not had a
drink of liquor in seven years. He
was dismissed after denying he was
a hijacker.
The state presented six witnesses,
who testified Gilbert’s character was
good.
Adam Hoard, 57. another Gastonia
officer, testified that a telephone
call informed police there was trou
ble at union headquarters. When
the police approached headquarters,
Hoard said, a man nearby shouted
“shoot the ”
“The first shot was fired from
inside the building,” Hoard testified.
"Then shots came from the side and
back of the building.
“A man ran into a tent and a
shot came from there. Isaw r Gil
bert fall.”
Hoard’s story from this point was
similar to those told by Roach and
Gilbert.
As he described the shooting, Mrs.
Aderholt, widow of the slain chief,
wept silently. Her 21-year-old
daughter, seated beside her, tried
to comfort her. Both were seated
within a few feet of the defendants.

SOUTH BEND. Ind., Sept. 6.—A

Vollmer aho led in development
of the “flash” system of lights now
generally used to advise police of an
emergency call. It came first, he
said, from a private watchman who
used a red light on a pole to receive
signals his wife wanted to get in

‘FOUR HORSEMEN’ PAID
WITH LIVES ON VERDICT
OF GANGLAND’S COURT
Execution of Racketeers
Traced to ‘Beer War’ by
Chicago Police,
By United Press
CHICAGO. Sept, 6.—The syste
matic execution of the “Four Horse
men,” racketeer terrorists, was traced
today to a gangland court which de
creed death for the four men who
encroached upon the “beer rights” of
established side gangs.
The “Four Horsemen,” Frank
Cawley, Edward Westcott, Michael
Reilly and William Clifford, organ
ized the Midwest Garage Owners’
Association about a year ago. Their
terrorist activities were extended to
the beer peddling territory of the
west side Klondike O'Donnell gang,
police explained.
A few months ago Clifford and
Reilly were executed and their
bodies left at the door of one of
Scarface A1 Capone’s Cicero re
sorts. Thursday morning, Cawley
and Westcott faced a firing squad
near Riis pirk. Their bodies were
riddled with machine gun and shot
gun bullets.
Police said they learned of the
gangland trial of the “four horse
men” several months ago and had
direct knowledge of the orders for
the execution.
He shouted encouragement and
demanded more speed. His only
complaint was the chill and short
age of air at the bottom of the
well.
Workers dared not exert too
much speed, however. A false
move always resulted in a shower
of brick from the crumbling side
walls. In one such fall Ed Kirk
land, a fireman working inside the
wen, was struck on the head by a
brick and injured.

All night long, aviation
technicians had pondered over
maps of the desert, charting
a system whereby all the vast
territory might be covered as
well as humanly possible while
mechanics worked over the
airplanes which must play
such an important part in the
greatest search of its kind in
history.
Then as the first streaks of dawn
cast over shortening shadows over
the desert and mountainous lava
formations of this desolate country,
the roar of three score airplane
motors broke the silence. Up from
every clearing rose coveys of planes
to join the search for the five pas
sengers and three crew members of
the T. A. T. plane, who are believed
to have met death when the trans
port fell.
45 Planes in Search
The rugged section in the region
is Sunrise Springs and Keans Can
yon, north of Houck. Ariz., was the
focal point of a number of planes
setting out from here.
By mid-morning the number of
planes working out of the Winslow
base alone had risen to forty-five.
Never in the history of Winslow,
prominent in the aviation world
since Colonel Charles Lindbergh
made it a T. A. T. control point,
had there been so much aerial ac
tivity.
Pilots said the scene at the air
port was reminiscent to wartime
days in France with drawn pa
trols, greasy mechanics working
feverishly and all types of planes
taking off or landing to make re
ports.
May Swing Search
Officials inclined more and more
to the theory that the City of San
Francisco—if located in this coun
try—would be found in the section
north of Houck.
This theory was held in the face
of countless rumors from other
points.
Failing to find the plane in a
northeasterly direction, however, it
wa„ planned to gradually swing the
search toward the Zuni mountains
to the southeast.
