The court record, he ZjiZlt!?t friend of Smith, about raising the $2,000,000. Reading from the record Heflin said Boyles quoted Boykfn as saying that "the plan is to have liquor men, the men in the liquor business and the brew eries to contribute te this fund," and that United States attorneys in some places already "had been arranged with" to do the actual collecting. , All of this testimony, said Sena tor. Heflia, was read at . a secret meeting of the senate judiciary committee last April when Boyles' nomination for another term as dls4iefc--aoTttey-'was" pending; Beyles Iknaelf was present, and, affording1 to the committee rec ord, he said at onu point that he had not said the things attributed to him. The district' attorney did say, however, according to Sena tor Heflin, that he had asked Jess Smith to, help his condition for JJnited States marshal. .,- L "Sou Boyles - was to get Jess Gmith.to have.his men appointed UnTted States marshal to gather in the loot on this rotten work. "1 don't knew whether It was Mellon's money or the govern ment's. But I know $3,000,000 was brought in and Jess Smith was assigned to get the other $2,000,000." Senator Heflin said he made these statements because he had heard that he would receive a re quest from District Attorney Buckner of New York for evidence to bear out his charge- that Smith was murdered.

It was Delaney's first bid for honors in heavyweight ranks. He spotted Gorman 25 pounds, weigh ing 175 to his opponent's 200, but put a swift and dramatic finish to what was scheduled to have been a ten round match. Held to even terms in the first round, and cut about the nose in the first few seconds of the sec ond round, Delaney appeared slated for an interesting bout un til his sharp shooting right hand found its mark. A clean smash to the point of the chin toppled Gorman to the floor for a count of eight, another knocked him down for a ton of five. He came up each time, but was out on his feet, hopelessly beaten and cling ing to the ropes when Referee Jack Masterly stopped the fight. Cross Meat Market. Biggest, busiest aad best ia Salem.
