KIDNAPPER RECEIVES STIFF CRIMINAL COURT SENTENCE PRISONE Sheriff Kyle Verifies Report From Georgia About Elizabeth Brooks Considerable mystery sur rounds the transfer of Eliza-beth Brooks, alias Elizabeth Sullivan, 24-year-old alleged bandit queen, from the county jail at Crown Point to Rome, she is wanted for trial for complicity in a $12, 000 hold-up of a construction company paymaster, R.

H. Daniels. A Georgia deputy, sheriff named O. B. Jarman left Crown Point on Tuesday with Miss Brooks, after5 she had waived extradition, but fears have been expressed for his safety since today no word had been received at Rome of either Jarman, or his pretty prisoner.

The authorities st Georgia are a little apprehensive concerning the possibilities of foul play on the part of Miss Brooks three companions in the robbery in which she is believed have participated. KYLE VERIFIES REPQRT Sheriff Joe Kyle this morning verified the report received at Rome that his deputy Frank Gul-strom, had turned over Miss Brooks to Jarman on Tuesday, following her waiver of extradition, and that Jarman had left. Neither Kyle or Gulstrom knew whether Jarman was driving back by automobile or took a train. Miss Brooks, with three companions is alleged to have held uj the paymaster of a Rome, Ga, construction company, and escaped with $12,308. The authorities trailed Miss Brooks to Indiana Harbor and sent a warrant for her to Sheriff Kyle.

Deputy Sheriff Nicholas Makar took Mis3 Brooks Into custody on the warrant several days ago, ani she was lodged in Crown Point. SHERIFF GETS TELEGRAM. Sheriff O. I Betts, at Rome, re. ceived a telegTam from Jarman yesterday, morning in which the deputy said that he was having difficulties "because of errors in the extradition papers.

Sheriff Kyle, on the other hand, stated that Misa Brooks had waived extradition. Wire dispatches from Georgia failed to state from where Jarman sent the telegram to Sheriff Betts. In all probability a man-hunt will be started if Jarman and Misa Brooks failed to appear at Rome today or tomorrow, since this will mean either that they were intercepted en route, that Miss Brooka escaped, or that they might hava eloped.

Other than general information surrounding Picallo's liquor activities, the discarded shotgun is believed to be the principal clue the identity of the killers. Shupryt also Indicated his intention of questioning Mrs. Picallo, the mother of the dead gangster, who may possibly shed some further light on the connection of her son. The federal inquiry into the murder, through department of justice agents, is still being pursued, thua giving rise to the belief that some affiliation has been found between Picallo and the federal government's case at East Chicago.

Department of justice agents were silent concerning the slaying this morning, although it was Intimated from another source that the attempt is being made to determine if Picallo (Continued on Page Twenty-one) INTRODUCE TAX GUT GILL DECEMBER 2 By PAUL H.

CI PRIAM (Central Press Staff "Writer) CHICAGO, Nov. 14 Mr. Webster, the eminent etymologist, defines a sucker in the following' inglorious language: "A sucker: A sponging person; a parasite; also a stupid person; one easily duped; a greenhorn." Texas Guinan, night club queen, who is not as widely read as Mr. Webster, but is, perhaps, as widely known, has her own definition of a sucker.

She ought to know. A new general office building is being constructed by-vthe United Boiler Heating and Foundry company on its property on. Hohman street adjacent to the -Calumet river, it was announced this morn- ng by Charles Nau, general man ager of the plant. The additional unit to the exist ing plant facilities is expected to be completed and ready for occupation by the first of the year. It will house the company's executive Offices, and records and will be the general basis of the factory's opera tions.

Wall street brokers, watching the New York stoftt market pass through the most eventful period In its history, wondered today when the steady decline in prices will come to an end. With scores of standard American stocks down to within a point or two of new low territory for the year, even the most conservative brokers see plenty of "bargains." They said that before days ago. They are saying it now. Many of them are surprised that the market has dropped as low as it has. They think the end of the decline is just about here.

An indication of how some of the big interests feel as regards present prices was shown by the fact that toward the close of yesterday's market a bid was placed for 1,000,000 shares of Standard Oil of New Jersey at 50. This stock closed yester-day-at 50. In other words somebody or some Interests are will- FACTORY TO GENERAL Gl I.

Miss Guinan was seen between scenes of a musical comedy in which she is starring, and for 20 minutes sermonized on the unlucky tribe of suckers.

Mr. Nau refused to disclose the cost of 'construction of the office building, but a casual estimate would set it at approximately $50,000., All the material used In building has been purchased locally, and this policy will be pursued in the remainder of the erection, according to Mr. Nau, although the greater part of the progress made thus far has been accomplished by workmen of the The increase Jn the company's business and the need for additional office facilities is the cause for the cause for the building of this new unit.
