SMITH MURDERED HEFLIN
TELLS SENATE: IN TALK
(Continued from sage 1)
and through the agency of United
States district attorneys. ,
To support this statement,- "the
senator produced excerpts . from
testimony given "by f ormef District
Attorney Boyles'of southern Ala
bama, in a court proceeding at
rilobile.
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.

Swift and Dramatic Finish
Made in Second Round
of 10 Round Bout
JERSEY CITY, Dec. 20 (AP)
Jack Delaney, world's light
heavyweight champion, scored a
sensational two round victory to
night over Bud Gorman of Wis
consin, gaining a technical knock
out with a slashing attack that
ended the fight after one minute,
3S seconds of the second rennd.
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.
