THE SAN ANTONIO LIGHT
GRAND JURY PROBE OF
CITY POLITICS WILL
BE RESUMED MONDAY
Number of City Employes
and Officers Subpoenaed
to Appear.
Investigation into the alleged collec
tion of money from employes and day
laborers in the street department will
be resumed by the Bexar county grand
jury when it convenes again Monday
morning- This wag indicated Friday
when grand jury bailiffs appeared at
the city hall, armed with subpoenas for
a large number of foremen and em
ployes of the department of Commission
er William O. Rieden.
City Engineer D. D. Harrigan and
Street Foreman Jim Hughes are known
to have appeared before the grand jury
Thursday morning, in answer to sub
poenas sent out by that inquisitorial
body. While neither would discussYhe
substance of their testimony, having
been bound by oath not to reveal it, it
is generally considered at the city hull
that it had to do with the collection
of funds for the “Rieden for Re-elec
tion Club,” which is said to have been
organized to foster the campaign of
Commissioner Rieden for re-election.
The street commissioner has repeatedly
denied an.v knowledge of the existence
of such a club, but in a letter sent out
Wednesday instructed all foremen if
they had collected such funds to re
turn the money to the employes.
It is understood at the city hall that
the grand jury expects to make a thor
ough probe of the alleged collection of
funds, also of a report that the city
engineer has information leading him to
believe that there is a shortage in the
fund It is likely that several other
city officials will be called before the
grand jury to tell what they know in
the matter.
NO WEATHER CHANGE
Mercury To Remain In the Fifties and
Winds To Be Moderate,
There will be little change in San
Antonio weather conditions Friday

Jarboe's forecast indicating partly
cloudy skies and a tendency of the
mercury to haunt its summer play
grounds and drop not lower than a
point between 53 nnd 5!) degrees. The
winds will be light to moderate and
southerly.
There was little action oh Friday's
weather map. Much of the country
east of the Rockies was cloudy and
there worn scattering showers, includ
ing a continuation of rain at Shreve
port.
A large high barometer area, of mod
erate intensity, slowly drifting east
ward, sent the mercury down to 20 be
low in Canada and the tube showed
only two degrees above in St. Paul and
22 in Chicago at 7 o'clock but tin's
"high” was travelling in too northerly
a path to affect much of the territory
to the south of it.
A "high” coming in over the Pacific
Coast brought somewhat colder weath
er to the northwest, but it is of only
moderate intensity.
Jacksonville. Fla., had its daily frost
Friday morning. The lowest tempera
ture in San Antonio was 54.
Suction into the departing low

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1923.—TWENTY-EIGHT PAGES
BAN ANTONIAN
FOUND DEAD
IN MISSOURI
Officers Seek to Establish
Identity of Mur
dered Man.
HIDDEN IN HAYSTACK
Seek Woman Whom Offi
cers Believe Can Estab
lish Identity.
Search for a young girl who i be
lieved ko have been the sweetheart of a
maq about 25 years old, whose body was
found in a strawstack near Golden
City, Mo„ on January 6, and is be
lieved to have been formerly from San
Antonio, was begun by Deputy Sheriff
John Subira Friday morning. A Mexi
can woman who was formerly a neigh
bor of the girl sought, the deputy sher
iff said, recognized the picture of tbe
dead man as that of a young man who
frequently called on this girl. Officers
expect to locate the young woman some
time Friday afternoon.
Information concerning the murder
of the man came to the Bexar county
sheriff's office through a letter ad
dressed to the National Rank of Com
merce. The communication wag from
Arthur Farr, a real estate man of Gol
den City. Mr. Farr expressed the be
lief that the dead man, whose skull had
been crushed, might be Joe Karan. Re
ports to the sheriff's office Friday, how
ever, were that Karan, who formerly
was in Sim Antonio, is still glhe.
Belief that the man might have been
from San Antonio was caused by the
fact that he is said to have bad an ac
cident near Mt. Vernon. Mo., about
Christmas nnd to have wired a bank
here for funds to pay for the damage he
had done to another car. Mr. Farr
stated that he had been in the company
of two other men, traveling in a Ford
car.
Officials at the bank, however, had
no knowledge of a man answering the
description of the dead man as having
been a depositor at the hank so the let
tc. was turned over to tbe sheriff's of
fice and the investigation begun.
The letter from the real estate man
at Golden City which furni«hed Bexar
county officers tbe clue upon which
they are working, was dated January
12. and reads in part as follows:
“We found an unidentified stranger
murdered near Golden City the morn
ing of January 6, nnd we are inclined
to think he is a man by the name of
Joe Karan, who is a depositor in your
bank and who wired to you for funds
from Mount Vernon, Mo., about Christ
mas, last.
Traveling With Two Others.
“At that time this man was travel
ing over the country in an old Ford
touring car in company with two other
men. He ran into another car and
caused about $56 damage. The three
didn’t have that much so he wired your
bank for funds. It looks like his two
companions might have made away with
him.
“I am writing this in the hope that
you can get me in touch with bis rela
tives or friends- I should like also to
know the names .of the two parties
with hint as if he is the party we
found they undoubtedly know how be
came there.
“I am enclosing two photographs and
a description and would appreciate an
early reply.”
Found in Strawstack.
In a postscript Mr. Farr says that
the "car these men were traveling in
bore a Texas license. It is out of the
ordinary. It is described as an old
Ford touring car with some kind of an
extension in the rear and a bow and
sheet ton.”
The description furnished says tbe
man is 5 feet 6, weighs 135 pounds, ap
parently 25 years old, blue or grey eyes,
‘dark hair, almost black, inclined to
wave, cut long, small scar on left lip,
one gold crown on lower tooth, one sil
ver filling upper, both on left side, had
been operated on for appendicitis. The
man had small hands, well cared for,
prominent nose, thick lips. large mouth
nnd was evidently an Italian, Greek or
Assyrian.
“He was found.” the letter says,
“concealed in a strawstack near Golden
City, without clothing or any means of
identification. He had been beaten to
death with a blunt instrument and tbe
body thrown in the strawstack where it
was found accidentally soon after the
crime.”
CLERK SOLVED MYSTERY
English Sleuth’s Pocketbook Recovered
From Under Pillow.
Newport News. Va., Jan. 19.—A
hotel clerk here today held the solu
tion of a mystery presented yester
day by Sir Basil Thomson, former chief
of Scotland Yard.
“I tell you. sir,” exclaimed Sir Basil
as he hastened for his train, ’’my pocket
book is gone; and I tell you there hasn't
been a soul in my room but myself I”
A maid found the pocketbook hidden
beneath tbe pillow on the bed used by
Sir Basil.

HARVEY’S MISSION
IN UNITED STATES
COMES TO AN END
Belief That Visit Concerned
British Debts Empha
sized by Departure.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 19—Ambas
sador Harvey, who hat been a guest
at the White House since January 2,
left late last night for New York. Al-,
though no definite statement was made,
it was indicated that he might return to,
Washington some time next week before
leaving for bis London post.
The departure, of Mr. Harvey coin
cides with that of the British debt
commission which left Washington dur
ing the day, adding emphasis to the be
lief that the ambassador's visit to
Washington was occasioned primarily
by the debt discussions. During his
stay here, however, he has discussed
European questions with Secretary
Hughes and members of the Senate for
eign relations committee, while his ad
vieer is understood to have been valued
by President Harding in connection
with tho European reparations compli
cations.

Lusk's servitude was granted by Gov
ernor John J. Rlaif, that she might
regain her health, said to have been
broken by prison confinement. At

EVANS DUNLAP, LIFER,
ESCAPES FROM PRISON
AT HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS
Convicted Here in 1920 for
Murder of Will Camp
Near Terrell Wells.
■ “Evans Dunlap convicted in Bexar
county. March 19, 1920, serving lite
term, escaped today.”
• This is the message contained in a
telegram which reached detective head
quarters late Thursday night. It
bore the signature of Johu L. Dibrcll,
record derk at the Huntsville peniten
tiary.
. Dunlap referred to in the telegram
was convicted by « jury in the Thirty
seventh ' District Court, on an indict
ment charging him with the slaying of
Will Camp, a youthful San Antonian,
in the latter part of 11)19. Camp was
shot and instantly killed a short time
after he had been called from bis home
in the southern part of the city by
n • telephone message. He was shot
down as he neared the Terrell Wells,
a short distance from his home. Offi

BLOODY CLOTHES
OF MISSING MAN
AND BOL FOUND
Officers Believe Solomon
Jorge and Youthful Com
panion Murdered.
QUESTION TWO MEN
Check for $lBO, Payable
to Peddler, Cashed
by Man Held.
A blood-soaked khaki shirt, positively
identified as having belonged to a four
tcen-ycar-old Mexican youth who was
with Solomon Jorge when he was last
seen, n tattered coat, also belonging to
the youth and an overcoat said to have
belonged to the missing mnn, found at
a lonely spot on the Frio river between
Cotulla and Pleasanton, convinced
Bexar county officers Friday that the
Assyrian peddler who has been missing
for more than three weeks has been
murdered. These garments and portions
of a blanket were found by K. Yninan,
friend of the missing man. who is in
vestigating the case as a special deputy
appointed by Sheriff John W. Tobin.
Yamnn made the gruesome discovery
Inte Thursday while on his way from
Cotulla to Pleasanton in search of n
third man who is suspected to have
had knowledge of the whereabout* of
Jorge. The clothing was found in a
thicket. Search of the brush in the
vicinity of tho find failed to disclose
the body of Jorge or that of the Mex
ican youth, but officers expect to re
turn to Mie scene early Saturday morn
ing and are confident that both bodies
will be found.
Held Man in Jail Here.
One man. taken into custody by Ta
man at Pleasanton late Thursday is
now in th® Bexnr county jail. Ho was
questioned closely by Sheriff Tobin.
Chief Deputy Alphonso Newton and
Deputy John Subira Friday morning,
but disclaimed nuy knowledge of Jorge's
whereabouts. He ; dmitted, however, of
ficers say, that it was he who cashed «
check for $lBO. belonging to the miss
ing man. Officers expected to question
this man further Friday afternoon and
expressed the belief that he may disclose
information which may lend to a solu
tion of the mystery. This man also will
be taken by Deputy Sheriff John Su
bira to the spot where the blood-Maked
clothing was discovered, in an effort
to hare him point out where the bodies
of the man and boy were concealed.
One Horse Is Found
Another important development in
the mystery Friday morning was a re
port from the deputy sheriff of LaSalle
county that a horse belonging to the'
missing man and one'of a team he drove
to his peddler's wagon, had been found
near Millett. The h'-rse, the officer
s. id. was running at large. Search has
now been instituted for the other horse
and the man's wagon.
The man taken into custody at Pleas
anton Thursday and now held in the
Bexar county jail is said to be the
brother of a man arrested at Cotulla.
One man taken into custody in San
Antonio Wednesday in the belief that
he has knowledge of the whereabouts of
Jorge, has been relea'-ed.
Three Endorsed Checks.
The $lBO check which has figured so
prominently in the investigation of
Jorge's disappearance is a cashier's
check drawn on the First National
Bank nt Pleasanton. It is said to have
been in payment of goods purchased
from Jorge by a merchant there. Tbe
check bears the endorsements of throe
men, nniong them being tbe two broth
ers who arc held. It was cashed nt
Cotulln. Officers also are in posses
si.it of a letter which was written to
the merchant at Pleasanton, requesting
that the money be sent. The Wtcr. of
ficers s«y. was post-dated and is evi
dently not in the handwriting of the
missing man.
Although Jorge had not been reported
missing hut about three weeks. Deputy
Sheriff Subira exnressc l the belief Fri
day that he has been dead longer than
that. The condition of the clothing
found, he said, would indicate that it
hnd lain on tbe ground for s.me time.
The fact that the two coats were bndly
torn, officers say, would indicate that
there was cither a hard struggle or that
coyotes or other wild animals have
found them. The khaki shirt, although
almost intact, is stained over the entire
hack nnd officers believe that the stains
ar blood. Smaller stains on parts of
the two coats officers also believe are
blood stains.
The shirt nnd coat were identified at
the sheriff’s office Fridaj- morning by
the father of the boy who was a con
stant companion of Jorge on his ped
dling trips. Yaman identified the over
coat as that which had been worn by
Jorge when fast seen. Laman was a
close friend of tbe missing man and
expressed a determination Friday to
continue bis investigation of the case
until the man an', boy. or the bodies
of the two are found. Mr. Yaman is
strongly of the opinion, however, that
a search of the brush in the vicinity of
where he found the r’athim, will reveal
the bodies of the two men. If they
are not found there be sajs, he expects
to find them sunk in the Frio river
nearby.

Intense Excitement Prevails in Crowded
Courtroom When Jury Is Summoned
Shortly Before 2 O’Clock, But No
Demonstration Staged — Verdict of
Not Guilty Probably Means That
Prosecution Against 200 Other Men
Indicted Will Be Dropped.
Marion, 111., Jan. 19.— A1l five defendants in the Herrin
riot trials were acquitted today shortly before 2 o’clock when
the jury announced its verdict after about 30 hours of de
liberation. They were found not guilty of murder.
The jury was called before Judge D. T. Hartwell at
1:30. The court room filled rapidly. There was some delay
while attorneys and defendants were summoned.
The verdict probably means that state’s attorneys will
abandon any contemplated fight against the remainder of
those indicted in connection with the Herrin mine riot, num
bering about 200.
The verdicts were read in the following order:
Leva Mann. Joe Carnaghi, Peter Hiller, Burt Grace and
Clark.
All of them are union miners except Peter Hiller who
taxi driver. The court room was crowded when the ver
was read but there was no sign of a demonstration of
