Rib Fracture Evidence
Found in Autopsy on
Suspect's Body
'Occurred Two or Three
Weeks Ago/ Coroner .
In Torso Case Says
By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, ^ug. 25.—Coroner
S. R. Gerber announced today an
autopsy on the body of Frank Dole
zal, torso murder suspect, showed
evidence of six fractured ribs, but
added the fractures occurred "two
or three weeks ago.”
The only recent mark on the body
was discoloration of the neck, caused
by a ragged cloth with which Dolezal
hanged himself in a county Jail cell,
Gerber announced.
"Apparent cause of death was as
phyxiation caused by the rope,” the
coroner reported.
Gerber agreed to conduct the au
topsy after demands were made by
William E. Edwards, director of the
Cleveland Crime Commission, sup
ported by Dolezal’s relatives. Before

nounced, Edwards said he would de
mand a grand Jury investigation of
Dolezal’s jail treatment if the exam
ination showed evidence of brutal
treatment of the suspect.
"In view of rumors and reports
of brutal treatment of Dolezal," Mr.
Edwards said, "I think it is only
fair to the sheriff (Martin L. O’Don
nell) and the public to make as
thorough as possible an investiga
tion to ascertain the truth or falsity
of these reports.”
“We never bothered him at all,”
'the sheriff said.
Dolezal was under manslaughter
charges in the butchering of Mrs.
Florence Polillo, No. 3 victim in the
city's mystery of the 12 headless
dead.
Deputy Sheriff Hugh Crawford
found the accused man's limp body
and cut him down.
Dolezal was still alive, and a fire
department rescue squad worked
over him 45 minutes before Dr. A.
V. Fried pronounced him dead.
On two previous occasions, the
sheriff said, Dolezal had attempted
to end his life—first' only three
days after his arrest, when he at
tempted hanging with a shoestring,
and later with his shirt, which
broke.
An original charge of murder
against the suspect was reduced to
manslaughter, and he was to have
faced a grand Jury investigation on
that count September 7.
Court Ready to hear Plea
In Walters Will Case
Special Dispatch to The Star.
RENO, Nev., Aug. 25.—The first
legal skirmish over the $1,500,000
estate of the late Caroline Roeb
ling Hagner Walters had ended to
day as a Nevada District Court pre
pared to hear a petition for probate
of her will and an attached codi
cil after granting yesterday a mo
tion to stay proceedings in her hus
band's application for letters of ad
ministration.
The court decided that a deci
sion in the application of Paul A.
Walters, Reno auto rental agent,
who was wed to the Roebling bridge
building-fortune heiress shortly after
she was divorced, May 8. from
Alexander Hagner of Washington,
D. C„ and Warrenton, Va., must
await disposition of the petition to
probate.
This petition was filed for Robert
C. Roebling. brother of Mrs. Walters,
and George Cutting, named in the
attached codicil as executors and
trustees of the estate. No mention
j is made of Mr. Walters in either the
, will or codicil
Specific bequests to Mr. Hagner
are revoked in the codicil.
After the motion to stay proceed
, ings in Mr. Walters' application had
been granted. Judge L. O. Hawkins
denied a motion to transfer the
petition for probate from Depart
ment 2 of District Court to Depart
ment 1, where Mr. Walters’ petition
. is on file.
The probate hearing has been set
for September 5, but authorities
anticipate a delay.
Mrs. Walters died July 8 at her
Reno home from a gunshot wound
which a coroner's jury decided was
self-inflicted by accident.

Campaign Against
Jews in Government
Admits Taking Relief
Allen Tells Dies Inquiry
That Race Now Has Him
'Absolutely Boycotted'
By the Associated Press.
Henry D. Allen, 60-year-old former
mining explorer who has been wag
ing a six-year campaign to "throw
the Jews out of the Government,”
told the House Committee on Un
American Activities late yesterday
that during "a great deal” of that
time he had been on relief in Cali
fornia.
“I find the Jews have absolutely
got me boycotted," he said, telling
of his unemployment since 1933.
“The fact is,” commented Repre
sentative Voorhis, Democrat, of
California, "you are not denied re
lief in spite of your activities.”
The committee has been question
ing Mr. Allen for two days in an
effort to develop evidence of co
operation between groups engaged
in anti-Semitic propaganda.
Talked at Embassies.
.niilull* uuitr tilings, ne related
that last year, while in Washington
to arrange for an Arab picket line
at a Palestine relief convention, he
visited the German and Italian
Embassies and talked of his
activities with officials there.
As a result of this testimony,
Chairman Dies asked the commit
tee's counsel to determine whether
this country could take any action
j in cases where diplomats "meddle
in domestic affairs.”
"I think it is a violation of the
spirit, if not the letter, of our treaties
with these countries,” he added.
In response to questioning, Mr.
Allen, who described himself as a
West Coast leader of the "fight
against international Jewry,” re
lated that his activities included as
sociation, correspondence or con
| versations with many groups holding
aims similar to his.
Among them, he said, were organ
j izations of White Russians, Italians
| and the German-American Bund in
| this country.
Asks “Word of His Own.”
At the end of a long siege of
questioning by the committee, Mr.
Allen asked to have a word of his
own.
He then demanded that the com
| mittee charge with perjury Arnold
1 Gingrich of Chicago, publisher of
' Ken Magazine, declaring that on the
committee's witness stand last year
the publisher had accused him
' falsely of "being an agent of a
: foreign government and of gun
running."
Chairman Dies asked the witness
to prepare evidence of h^s charge.
Committee counsel spent most of
■ the day asking about letters and
telegrams that Allen had sent and
received.
One letter, from James True,
publisher of Industrial Control Re
ports in this city, referred to sup
plying "pea-shooters” to Mr. Al
len's friends and the witness said
he had discussed the procurement
of arms "in case of an uprising.”
