Chicago. A white collar Jury,
completed Tuesday, heard state and
defense versions of the transaction
for which tho prosecution hopes to
convict Samuel Insull of embezzle
ment. The defendant looked on de
bonhrily while both sides made their
opening statements about the ?66,
000 deal.
Assistant State's Attorney O'Hora
declared he would prove Insull, then
chief of a huge power empire, direct
ed removal of the money from the
treasury of Middle West Utilities
company, headed by his brother,
Martin Insull, to bolster tho latter's
market accounts.
FlOyd E. Thompson, attorney who
successfully defended Samuel Insull
in his 100 million mail fraud trial
last fall, predicted the state will
never prove its case. He said the
defendant will give the fully story
of his life and business ventures as
his own star witness. lie added:
"Samuel Insull will testify and will
tell of the transaction as it took
place. He will tell you that be bor
rowed 7 million dollars of his pri
vate fortunes in his efforts to save
his companies."

Avoca Loses in
Class 'B' Finals
at Falls City
Defeated by Elk Creek by the Score
of 23 to 19 in Finals of the
Regional Tournament.
Cass county basketball fans were
disappointed Friday when the crack
Avoca quintet that has finished a
three year undefeated record in their
scheduled games, was overpowered by
the Elk Creek five.
The elimination of Plattsmouth
and Avoca in the regionals gives the
only Cass county bet left for the
state meet in Murdock, who plays at
the Lincoln regional meet tonight in
class B.
Coach Larson has had very suc
cessful teams at Avoca in recent years
and last year were among the serious
contenders for the clas3 B crown at
the state tournament.

American Police
Records Compare
Well with Others
Investigation Shows That American
Arrests and Punishments Hold
Place With Others.
New York, N. Y. The vaunted
superiority of the British police over
that of the United States In bringing
murderers to justice does not appear
so great percentage-wise, when con
victions for homicides in the two
countries are compared. The police
had knowledge of 4 89 homicides in
New York City in 1931. During the
same year in England and Wales, the
authorities had knowledge of 290
homicides. The percentage of convic
tions was 33 in Great Eritain and 22
in New York. But although the per
centage of convictions in Great Brit
ain was 11 higher than in New York,
it was nevertheless lower in ten oth
er large American cities by about the
same amount.
This is according to Dr. Louis I.
Dublin, third vice-president and sta
tistician of one of the leading insur
ance companies and Miss Bessie Bun
zel, cf the insurance company's sta
tistical bureau, in "Thou Shalt Not
Kill." a study of homicides in the
United States In the current number
of the Survey Graphic.
The survey on homicides shows
dissimilarity in the police methods
of the two nations. The most strik
ing difference was In the number of
suspects taken into custody. In New
York 54 per cent of those proceeded
against were discharged or acquitted.
while this percentage for Britain was
39. Capital punishment, the survey
shows, nas not carried out more fre
quently in Britain than in New York,
as is generally supposed. In fact, the
revense was true. Death . sentences
were imposed on 30 persons, or 28
per cent of those found guilty in
New York City, as contrasted with 18
persons, or 19 per cent in Britain
In both countries the guilty person
paid for his crime with his life in
only 6 per cent of th9 cases known
to the authorities.
More than 11,000 persons, or 9.2
out of every 100,000 of population.
are victims of homicide in the United
Statis each year, according to this
survey. Furthermore, the rate is
steadily increasing. The report says
"Such huge wastage of human life
Is but the more acute symptom or a
deeply rooted national lawlessness
which reflects our historical back
grounds, racial mixtures, industrial
conflicts, limited educational system,
and many other factors in our social
organization."
The contrast of deaths by violence
In the United States in comparison
with European countries is brought
out in the survey, which says: "The
Netherlands has the best homicide
record in Europe; during the five
year period 1926-1930, an average of
only three persons out of every mil
lion In the population were killed.
Our rate was 29 times as high. It
was 18 times that of England and
Wales and of Scotland. In no region
In the British Empire did the rate
approach that of the United States.
Our figure is more than three times
that of Italy, which has the highest
rate in Europe; it is about four and
one-half times that of Belgium and
Germany; and five and one-half times
that of Switzerland."
Pointing out that age and sex as
well as race are significant factors in
the homicide rate, tho survey says:
"As a cause of death, homicide in
volves men far more frequently than
women. In 1932. 8646 men and 2076
women were slain In the United
States, exclusive of Texas. In the
early years of life the homicide rates
are very small for both sexes and ap
proximately equal. After age 15,
however, the begin to diverge wide
ly aud at ages 15 to 19, the male rate
is twice the female rate among the
white population.
"The highest homicide rates occur
in early adult life, reaching a peak
in the age group 25 to 34 years
among males and 20 to 24 among
females. Among white males the rate
stays above 10 per 100,000 at all
ages between 20 and 54."
The variation, in different parts
of the country, in the percentage of
those convicted for murder and man
slaughter is reported as follows:
"Taking the number of such crimes
known to the police as a base, In
vestigation showed that convictions
reached the high mark of almost 60
per cent In Baltimore and Detroit
and the low point of 20 per cent in
Chicago and New York. Excluding
these two, which have rather special,
conditions, convictions In 10 large
cities averaged 43 per cent during a
recent year. To this number must be
added the cases that are pending,
some of which will undoubtedly be
ultimately declared guilty. There Is;
much room for improvement in the

efficiency of our police departments
and in our legal machinery."
The fact that the high homicide
rate in this country may be due, in
part to the fact that the murderer in
many instances goes scot free, is
borne out to a certain degree by the
study. It says: "In 611 cases of
homicide investigated by us, 8G per
sons had been killed by officers of
the law while resisting arrest or
while engaged in committing a
crime, 54 assailants committed sui
cide and 13 died before arraignment.
"This left 458 assailants answer
able to the law. Of these, IS per cent
had not been apprehended one year
after the act; 108 were released for
lack of evidence; 8 were declared In
sane; and 258 or 56 per cent, were
actually brought to trial; one quar
ter of these were acquitted, and 9
cases were pending twelve months
after the slaying.
"Only 43 per cent of the 453
who should have been prosecuted
were actually declared guilty; 8 were
sentenced to death and 170 to prison
terms of varying length, and 9 were
released either with suspended sen
tences or upon payment of a fine."
