JUDGE AND LAWYER CLASH
Detroit A sharp dispute between
Prosecutor Toy and Judge Jeffries of
; recorder's court in the Gerald E.
Buckley murder trial reached its cli
max Friday. Toy challenged the
judge to send him to jail for contempt
of court. The dispute, over admissi
bility of records, which Toy claimed,
j would violate the traditional secrecy
surrounding grand jury proceedings,
dashed the state's hopes of promptly
I closing its case.
The argument was over the ad
missibility of the testimony Robert
' Jackson, negro porter, gave before
the grand jury which returned the
murder indictments against Ted
Pizzino, Joe Bommarito and Angelo
Lirecchi, the defendants. The occa
sion was the appearance on the stand
of the state's final witness. Frank V.

During ci examination. McNam

Jackson's testimony before the grand
jury so the defense might learn
whether the testimony had varied.
During the trial JacRson testified
that he had seen Pidzino and Bem

Brothers Found
Guilty; Sentence
Set at 14 Years
Verdict Represents Compromise Be
tween Death and Acquittal;
23 Ballots Taken.
Chicago, 111.. April 3. Leo V. Bro
thers was convicted late today of as
sassinating Alfred "Jake" Lingle,
Chicago Tribune gangland reporter.
The jury reconi mended a sentence of
14 years' imprisonment, returning iis
verdict after nearly 27 hours' delib
eration, marked by fierce arguments
and sudden changes in balloting.
The verdict was regarded as a
compromise between acquittal and
death in the electric chair. Twenty
three ballots were taken.
The verdict was the lightest that
could be assigned under the laws of
Illinois. The prosecution had said
"ibis cowardly murder" deserved the
extreme penalty, which in Illinois is
death in the electric chair, but no
specific demands for the death pen
alty were made.
The jury's recommendation as to
penalty is not final. Judge Joseph
Sabath having the power to alter
the sentence. The common procedure
in Illinois, however, is to follow the
jury's recommendation.
"Why" Question Unanswered.
"Why" Lingle was killed, another
jquestion which had thrown Chicago
into a turmoil of rumor, remains un
answered. The trial did not bring
jthis out.
The verdict came at the end of
the third week of the trial. The jury
had deliberated for approximately 2 7
hours without sleep. It had deliber
ated since 2:24 p. m. yesterday.
The case was built almost entire
ly on identification of Brothers as
;the man seen fleeing from the Ran
dolph Street pedestrian tunnel the
!day Lingle was shot down from the
;back. One man said he saw Brothers
I drop a pistol near Lingle's body, but
jno one testified to seeing him fire the
shot.
Gazes at Judge.
Brothers, as the verdict was read
lived up to his reputed impassive de-
! mea nor.
Brought in by deputy sheriffs, he
leaned calmly against the witness
stand, elbow on rail, hand on chin
; and as the decree was read that
; branded him as murderer, he slowly
turned and quizzingly regarded
Judge Sabath.
Brother's mother. Mrs. Rose Jes-
sen, was not in the courtroom Dili
received the news of her son's con
viction in a private chamber remote
ly distant in another part of the
building.
Brother's only comment was:
"Let's duck."
As deputy sheriff hurried him from
the courtroom, photographers rushed
forward but the St. Louis taxicab
driver was too quick only one cam
eraman got a picture.
Brother's attorneys made a motion
for a new trial and it was continued
for two weeks. World-Herald.

Paris Vagueness cf the Franeo-Italian-British
naval accord regard
ing the scrapping of super armored
cruisers is the principal cause of the
hitch which has developed in the
completion of the final draft of the
pac t at London, was the official view
expressed here. How far Fiance can
go toward providing for eventual re
placement of her tonnage was not
taken into consideration in the March
agreement, it was said, and this was
reported to be the real difficulty. The
question was raised whether the pro
posal for replacing two cruiser of
the Diderot type to be scrapped be
fore 1936, as provided in the agree
ment, will be a bar to placing other
cruisers on the ways if these are not
destined to be finished until after
1936.
The British are believed here to
consider with the French, that there
would be no such bar, due to the
three years needed to build a modern
battleship, and it is believed that
they would not be opposed to allow
ing France another 23,000 tonner on
the ways by 1934.
Rome Suspension of drafting the
tripartite naval accord in London
was said in official circles here to be
merely to enable the naval experts
to consult their governments and
smooth over the difficulty, which two
weeks ago threatened the pary. The
Italians now are hopeful that French
goodwill will facilitate settlement of
any differences of opinion.
FURTHEF. INQUIRY ASKED
New York The New York Times
says that police were requested to r
open investigation into the suicide of
Arkady I. Pogojeff, young Russian
engineer for the Amtorg Trading cor
poration, who leaped to his ileal h
from a hotel window last week.
Gregory R. Bernaelsky. anti-comniun-
ist leader in the United States, who
made the request, told detectives he
believed that Pogojeff had been slain
or driven to suicide by agents of t In
cheka. the soviet secret police, for bis
refusal to return to Russia when or
dered. Detectives who investigated the
death of Pogojeff declared it was a
clear case of suicide, since the door of
his room was double locked from the
inside and a special key was required
to open it. Bernardsky, organizer for
the Russian-American Democratic
club and former publisher of the Am
erican Democratic cluo ana tornier
publisher of the American Observer
said communist agents might have
forced the young engineer to end his
own life.
