Definite Traces of Poison IB VIOLENCE ALSO DEATH'S CAUSE Latest Angle Studied in Big Hundred Thousand Dollar Stocks Swindle 1 .LOS .ANGELES. April IT (AP)-! Deth, bribery, forgery and embesxlement reared tbeir beads today from the labyrynth of Crimea which have watered for thcee years since tbe collapse of the Jallan Petroleum corporation and the disclosure of a $100, OM.000 stock swindle. Indications of violence follow ed on the heels of a report from County Chemist R. J. Abernethy that a drug, known to criminals as "knock out drops," may hare played a part in the strange death Tuesday of Robert Borstal. Bnrsian, . an under-cover agent for the district attorney's office, was found dead beneath his wrecked automobile while engag ed In a "very dangerous mission" on the Julian case. 8 Mill Fracture Immediate Cause ef Man's Death Death was dealt directly to the investigator, an autopsy showed, from a basal skull fracture. The physicians said the drug was in .liquor which Bursian had Imbib ed. Tomorrow there will be an iaqaest. Another phase of the tangled case' brought Jacob Friedlander, former state corporation commis sioner and Charles Crawford, lo cal political figure and real es tate broker, into superior court on a bribery indictment. They were ordered to appear next Thursday for entering ef pleas. The pair and four others, whose identities are hidden un der "John Does" with the oxceo- tio ef 3. C. Lewis, former Julian president, were alleged to hare received money and paid it to ob tain Issuance of stock selling per mits under which spurious Julian securities were marketed. J. H. Roth, a broker, testified before the grand Jary that he paid 130,00 for each permits. Lewis is in the federal penitentiary at McNeil Isl and serving a seven year sentence for using the mails to defraud. Efforts will be made to return him for trial. Two Defendants Free On 95000 Bond Each Friedlander and Crawford are at Liberty on bond 3 of $5,000 each. In the appellate court here came a third development in any order from the justices to bring Jacob Berman, former Julian of ficial, to trial on a three year old Indictment charging embezile ment and forgery of the order originated from the appeal by Berman for a reduction ball set at 1250.000. The court ruled that the bail was excessive and set a bond of $10,000. The Justices declined, however, to dismiss the case on the assertion by the dis trict attorney's office that the in dictment was voted simply to ob tain Berman's extradition from Europe where he fled in 1927 fol lowing the Julian collapse. The court said when the case was made an off-calendar matter in 1929, a promise accompanied it that Berman later would be tried. Enrollment in the Salem schools dropped 20 students In the month ending April H, ac cording to compilation -of the monthly attendance reports Tf eeired at the office of the eity superintendent.

It's at the Hollywood today and to morrow. . The picture is well photo graphed, and it has a plot that will not grow tiresome. William Powell as the famous Philo Vance does masterful work in this pic ture and his support is good. Eu gene Paliette is a dumb detective sergeant but the movies seem to specialize in such. Perhaps they are only true to life and therein may lie some explanation of the ease with which criminals in America seem to live their lives without being molested.
