Assassin Mother Declares her son Is Innocent and he Says he , Didn't Know Jake CHICAGO. Jan. 12. (AP) A tall young man cold-eyed, tight lipped stood before Judge Philip Finnegan today and heard a grand jury indict him for the murder of Alfred Llngle, Tribune reporter. He was Leo Brothers, St. Louis gunman whose capture Is hailed by authorities as the successful cul mination of the seven months' search for the assassin who shot down the .newspaperman amid home-going throngs in a pedes trian tunnel under Michigan boulevard. Handcuffed, he was led from the court building across the court way to the Jail where a mild-mannered, neatly dressed woman 'wait ed for the son she had not seen in 17 months. Mother Looks la Eyes; Says "Not Gnilty "One look at- Leo." she told Warden David Moneypenny, "and III know whether be Is innocent or guilty." The prisoner entered amid a squad of guards. The cold look lost its chill, the tight lips soften ed, the air of bravado faded. And then: "How've you been, Mom?" The mother, Mrs. Cordell Jes sen, made no effort to conceal her emotion. Brothers, meanwhile, sought to hide his faee from pho tographers. . He was allowed to confer with his attorneys and then was taken back to his cell in the county jail. "One look into his eyes," said the mother, "convinced me that he is Innocent." Insists He Did Not Know Llngle Brothers was asked by report ers to make a statement, and his attorney advised him to do as he pleased. . - "Well," he said, "there's only one thing I want to say. It didn't know Llngle I never saw him or heard of him until I w arrested. I was held for four days until I knew what It was all about. And that's what I told my mother." His counsel qualified Brothers statement by saying he had not meant he had never heard of Lln gle but that he had never heard of him in connection with himself. Brothers said that during the time he was held incommunicado he was treated "fine" by police. Two Precedents Upset in Giving Governor Oath Two precedents were broken In the Inauguration of Governor Meier. The oath of office was administered by a circuit Judge, It. 11. McMahan of Salem, rather than the chief Justice who has of ficiated from the beginning of the state. i In administering the oath. Judge McXfahan omitted the con cluding Invocation, "So help me God", which is the legal form of concluding an oath. This is not a new method- for Judge McMahan because he fol lows the same form in the circuit court in swearing in 'witnesses, omitting the customary lnvokingi tne deity as witness ot the sanc tity of the oath taken.
