Last of Brady Gang
Pays for Crimes
In Electric Chair
James Dalhover, Gunman
For Mob, Is Executed
At Michigan City
By the Associated Press.
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., Nov. 18.—
The last gangster of the A1 Brady
mob of Midwestern killers, once de
scribed as the worst in the coun
try, died in a swift and efficient
Federal execution here today.
Little red-haired James Dalhover
of Madison, 32-year-old gunman for
the gang, paid in State prison's
electnc chair for the slaying of Paul
V. Minneman, Logansport State
policeman, shot after the $2,500
Goodland State Bank robbery, May
25, 1937.
His death was as quick as but
more quiet than those of his fel
low mobmen, Alfred Brady and
Clarence Lee Shafer, jr., of In
dianapolis. Federal agents shot
them when they captured Dalhover
in Bangor, Me., October 12, 1937.
In a few brief minutes just after
midnight the condemned man was
hustled from the death cell between
two guards, strapped in the chair
and electrocuted. Physicians pro
nounced him dead at 11 minutes
after 12 (C. S. T.).
Less than an hour and a half be
fore, Dalhover' had lost his last
fight for life. In a special night ses
sion of Federal Court at Hammond,
Judge Thomas W. Slick of South
Bend turned down a petition to get
him a new hearing.
The petition said the gangster had
pleaded guilty to a murder charge
in South Bend November 15. 1937,
because he feared mob violence.
Dalhover's lawyer rushed the paper
from Washington by airmail. There
yesterday the United States Su
preme Court denied his plea that
it stay execution and reconsider its
refusal to review a Chicago Federal
Circuit Court ruling upholding the
sentence.
Dalhover gave up farming and
bootlegging in the Southern Indiana
hills three years ago to join the gang
in looting banks, jewelry stores, gro
ceries and theaters of hundreds of
thousands of dollars.

Pigeon Visitor
Pecks Daily for
Breakfast
Even carrier pigeons know a good
handout when they get one.
One of these messenger birds
plumped down exhausted on the
window sill of G. E. Reedy's apart
ment on the tenth floor of the
Dupont Circle Apartments Sunday.
The bird was fed popcorn. After
a feast, it curled up for sleep. Since
then it has hung around the roof
of the apartment and each day at
7:30 a.m. pecks at the window for
breakfast.
The Reedys tried peanuts and
other food, but the visitor held out
for more popcorn and Anally got it.
“Expensive tastes,” complained
Mr. Reedy.
The pigeon is banded and num
bered M38KB2216IF on the left leg
and Q561 on the right, all of which
mystifies the Reedys.

Society Girl's Death
Puzzles Officials
B» the Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Nov. 18 —
Despite a medical examiner’s deci
sion of suicide by poison, police to
day were mystified by the death of
Elizabeth Dorr, 23, whose pajama
clad body was found in a comer of
her family's garage.
The Junior Leaguer and Smith
College graduate had been to the
theater Wednesday night with her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Percy O. Dorr.
Her absence from the house was not
noticed until her mother went to
her room yesterday morning. Later,
a maid discovered the body.
The fact that the ignitions of both
cars were oil and the gasoline tanks
filled added to the mystery at first as
police worked over the body with an
inhalator.
Although Medical Examiner C. J.
Downey reported the girl died from
poison, he said no poison was found
in a preliminary autopsy. A further
analysis of the organs will be made
today by State Police Chemist Jo
seph Walker.
Parents of the girl were unable to
give authorities any clues. Their
daughter’s diary’, they said, did not
Indicate that she- was troubled.

Ex-Foreign Minister
Of Yugoslavia Dies
b* the Associated Press.
ZAGREB, Yugoslavia, Nov. 18 —
Anton Trumbitch, former Yugoslav
foreign minister, who was known as
"the treaty maker,” died today. He
was 76 years old.
M. Trumbitch, as Yugoslav dele
gate to the Versailles Peace Confer
ence, played an important role in
the reshaping of Central Europe
after the World War.
He was spokesman for Serbs,
Croats and Slovenes in the post-war
dismemberment of the Austro-Hun
garian empire and frequently con
ferred with members of the United
States peace treaty delegation, espe
cially Woodrow Wilson, of whom he
was an ardent admirer.
M. Trumbitch, born in 1863 at
Spjft—of which he later was Mayor
rose through early-century leader
ship of the Croat National Party,
which worked for harmony between
Serbs and Croats.
19-to-l Chance Seen
For Lifelong Sanity
By the Associated Pres*.
This year's American babies who
grow to maturity will have a 19-to-l
chance of going through life sane.
These odds were given today by
Dr. Harold F. Dorn, statistician of
the United States Public Health
Service.
Although the odds for previous
eras weren’t figured out. Dr. Dorn
said the chances of avoiding un
sound minds have grown slightly
smaller—not so much because in
sanity is increasing, but because
people live longer and insanity oc
curs more often in elderly persons.
Every person in Belfast. Northern
Ireland, is to be fitted for a gas
mask once a year.

Marquess of Zetland
Says Four-Power
Hope Is Shaken
B» the Associated Press.
TORQUAY, England, Nov. 18 —
The Marquess of Zetland, secretary
of state for India, today, laid Ger
nany's anti-Jewish measures square
ly at the door of, Chancellor Hitler s
government.
In an outspoken address, the 62
year-old peer became the first Brit
ish cabinet member directly to ac
cuse the German government of
responsibility for the anti-Jewish
violence of the past week.
He said it had “rudely shaken”
his hope that the four-power Munich
agreement of September 29 would
open a new chapter In human his
tory.
Slaying "Detectable.”
Declaring that the assassination
of the German diplomat Ernest vom
Rath by a Jew In Paris last week
was “detestable,” the marquess said:
“But one stands aghast at the
wholesale and vindictive retaliation
against thousands of innocent per
sons In which the German govern
ment have thought fit to Indulge."
He quoted Propaganda Minister
Paul Joseph Goebbels as having ex
pressed a desire that Great Britain
show no Interest in how Germany
solved the Jewish question. He re
plied thus:
“The mere expression of a wish
on the part of even so exalted a
person as the minister of public en
lightenment is incapable of stifling
the conscience of a whole people
and not the conscience of the
British people only but of the whole
civilized world.”
Haven Promised “Some.”
He promised that Britain would
find a “haven for some, at least” of
the German Jews "within the con
fines of the British Empire.”
He spoke at a National govern
ment rally. Prime Minister Cham
berlain and other prominent Britons
had condemned the antl-Jewiih ac
tions previously, but none used such
pointed phrases as the scholarly
Far Eastern administrator and in
vestigator.
