cently in New York.
I Cat ski 11. N. V., April 27. (A 1 )—Jack
I (Leg?) Diamond, gangster, for the
| second known time, was cut down and
I seriously wounded by the gunfire
I unknown assailants in the early hours
' j
c f today.
The gang chief, who six months ago :
| was shot and almost fatally injured in |
;l New York city hotel room, went j
down today under the pattering fire
! of buckshot, sent into his back as he j
stepped from a Catskill Mountain
roadhouse west of this village. The j
shooting Diamond occurred had been released three days ill $25,000 after |
|bail, pending trial for a charge of j
isault.
i jacket, Diamond, arrived in overalls Inn and about a leather 10:110. |
at the j
| telephone He told the call. innkeeper he expected a j |
marked: As he started to leave, Diamond re- |
! ‘If he calls, tell him I waited until
12 : 12 , will you?
Three minutes later he was shot. As
j he received the charge he shouted to
! .Sac-chio:
“Garry, I guess they got me. Come
and get me. Get a car, quick.”
Like the New York city instance,
mystery clothed the shooting. The
gangster himself could give no infor¬
mation and the companion who snatch¬
ed his fallen chief hack into the shel¬
ter of the roadhouse could only say
that the gunfire came from a distance
about 20 paces from the building.
A hatful of empty shells were pick¬
ed up between the glassed-in porch of
the Arratoga Inn and the highway.
j | Of the nine shots fired, each carrying
a dozen pellets, only one shell load
struck Diamond.
The fallen gangster, bleeding free¬
ly from wounds in the shoulder, back
and arm, was hurried to an Albany
. hospital. His condition was not be¬
to he critical,
Two state troopers .were assigned to
watch Diamond.
t- Police ii- questioned two witnesses,
j Herbert Chicheser and John Sutter,
both of Cairo, N. Y. They said they
had been to a movie and had stopped
for a few minutes at the Arrotoga
Inn. Two other men were present, ac¬
cording to police, James Wynne, iden¬
tified as tne proprietor of the Arra¬
toga, and Jerry Sacehio. It was Sac
chio who grabbed Diamond and drag¬
ged him out of the line of fire.
Diamond’s history contains the of¬
ficial record of one previous shooting
and the report that a still earlier inci¬
dent had placed lead in his body. On
October 12 , 1930, the man who at one
time was reputed to be the bodyguard
of Arnold Rothstein was shot by two
men who entered his New York city
hotel room. For weeks his life appar¬
ently depended on chance. With his
recovery, Diamond left the city and
moved into a house near Acra, 18
miles west of this village. Accom¬
panying him to this mountain strong¬
hold were several of his gang.
Albany, N. Y., April 27. UP )—The
attorney general was ordered today by
Governor Roosevelt to supersede the
district attorney of Greene county in
the investigation of the Jack (Legs)
Diamond gang activities.
Attorney General John J. Bennett,
Jr., left for Catskill with the order to
be served upon District Attorney Har¬
rison I. Gardner.

PRICE FIVE CENTS
Proposal By Joint Commission
of Episcopal Church Evokes
Many Criticisms
INCREASES CAUSES
IX)R ANNULMENTS
Embodies Radical Change in
Marriage Law of Church and
Would Eliminate All Grounds
For Divorce.
New York, April 27. (TP)- The pro¬
posed divorce reform canon, drafted
by the joint commission on divorce of
the Episcopal church and made public
yesterday, evoked favorable and un¬
favorable criticism today.
The Rev. Dr. Caleb R. Stetson, rec¬
tor of old Trinity church and members
(of the Anglo-Catholic wing here, ap¬
proved the report in principle and
heartily approved the proposal for a
|diocesan court to pass upon marital
i cases.
From the liberal camp, the Rev. Dr.
(Guy Emery Shipler, editor of the
: Churchman, described the suggested
i canon as a “somewhat futile com¬
promise. ”
Tint proposed canon embodies a ra¬
dical change in the marriage law of
1hu church. It would eliminate all
grounds for divorce but at the same
time create many grounds for an¬
nulment.
While waiving the church’s cen
} divorced Luries eld opposition it to would remarriage authorize of
persons,
tho establishment of ecclesiastical
‘courts to pass upon marital cases, in
eluding annulment and remarriage,
Bishop Herman Page, in issuing his
report, warned that the suggested re¬
j [doors vision did not “throw wide open” the
to remarriage of divorced per
I “I 'nib the proposed canon,” he
said, no clergyman of this church
remarry divorced persons unless
j (he bishop, or a duly constituted court,
! I ‘ shsill declare after due inmiiry t hat
die purposes of Christian marriage
i w j|| be be: I served by the proposed
| marriage. And even then the clergy
man may not use the form of services
| contained in the book of common
■ pi-aycr, nor may the services he held
j j,, |j u . church."
Referring to the latter proviso, the
i bishop said the commission felt some
I penult v should attach to those who
I •• had failed to keep the vows in a for
i mer marriage. ’
j while refusing to recognize even
adultery us a ground for divorce, the
| ] new canon would remove the penalty
which ('insists in refusal of the sacra¬
ments of baptism, confirmation and
holy communion without the bishop’s
consent to remarried divorcees.
The new canon would repeal the rule
forbidding the marriage of a com¬
municant with any divorced person
other than the innocent member of a
union dissolved by state authority on
grounds of adultery. It. would permit
the remarriage of persons divorced
eeelesiasUeal for any cause, provided the bishop or
court, approved.

CHANCELLOR OF EXCHKCOUKK
SHOWS MHMTIONAL REVENUE
WILL BE NEEDED
1
— —
j London, April 27. (/I 1 ) Philip Snow
Iden, chancellor of the exchequer, to
'day presented in a tensely anxious
house of commons the 1931 32 budget.
The chancellor, who was looking
remarkably well for a man just
through a / go of .sickness, foresha¬
dowed g'.isiderahle debt conversion
operations during the coming year.
Provisions would be made, he said, to
raise a considerable part of last year’s
’deficit of 2 \. m« 0 () pounds (approxi¬
mately $1 16,886, 90) from ordinary
sources.
He estimated (he yield of revenue
for the next year at 766,000,000
pounds (about $3,830,000,000).
The estimated expenditure for the
coming year he placed at 803,366,000
pyunds (approximately $4,016,830,000)
leaving a gap of 37,366,000 pounds
($186,830,000) to be filled.
He rejected a revenue tariff pro¬
posal as a means of obtaining the ad
iditional revenue needed. This, he de
elated, wii> a method of relieving the
rich at the expense of the poor and
amounted to an indirect attack oil
wages.
