In Prison, Says Delgoda's Confession WHOLESALE POISONING Next Saturday Was Day Set for Third of I iPO pold's Plans, and lie Was Backed by 88,04H) Fund Chloaco. Mar. 15.? (AIM?A plo* to phi|ily Jul lot iivnlli'iillary of its 1.200 Inmates by tho whole sale slaughter by poisoning of the guards lias boon revealed to pris on authorities and Chicago policc by a paroled convict. Tho plot net for execution next Saturday is the third of a series behind all of which now looms the youthful sinister figure of Nathan l^>opo|d. Jr., plotter and co-execu tor of the murder in Chicago of little Hobby Franks. It was Leopold, the ofTicerH have been told, who conceived the ori gin prison break in which seven uien es^ped after killing a depu ty warden, only to have six of tl?o seven recaptured and sentenced to hang for1 murder. It was Leopold, too, said the detailed stories over which tho of ficers are now working, who fin anced last Saturday's break from the Joliet jail?a break in which three of the six recaptured in the first escape reached freedom and shot to death a policeman. Two later were recapturod. Leopold is not linked directly with the latest escape plot as told to officers by I<eo Delgoda, pa roled convict, but it was Leopold's original plotting, Delgoda related, that Inspired tho scheme to evacu ate the penitentiary next Saturday by killing the guards with arsenic, to be put in their cofTee. "l^eopold planned the original penitentiary escape," Delgodn said in a story printed today in the Herald and Examiner. "From Ills friends outside he obtained $8,000 ?1?which was to finance the flight-of himself and his picked associates first to Detroit, thence to Canada ^ and finally to Mexico. ? Palos Verdes. Mexico, was the if place picked _as the refuge for \L those escaped, said Delgoda. who obtained his information from let ters fn Spanish to the plotters which lie was called upon to translate. The plans provided that the men who escaped were to live in luxury in the Mexican town with funds furnished by Leopold'^ Chicago friends. Delgoda said the original plot provided for the escape besides Leopold of Bernardo Roa, (Jrog orlo Hlzzo and Robert Torres, the three Mexicans who broke from the Joliet jail last Saturday. Of tl|.ls trio Roa Is still at largo. Charles Shader, Charles Dusehow ski and Walter Staleskl?throe men who were under sentence with tho Mexicans to hang for slaying the deputy warden of the original penitentiary break -also were to have been Included. Leopold, according to DolKoda'n story, lost his courage and turned sick at the slt;ht of lb" blood of the deputy warden killed by his fellow convicts, and that was why If did not attempt flight. After telling of the poison plot, plans for which he said had been completed, Delgoda said: "I am what the police call a liard boiled oug. but J draw the line at wholenaW- poisoning." chief of DttMtivei William ' Shoemaker, said that early chock < Ing of its details indicated the L- atory to be virtually correct, f Chicago police were told today ] by a Mexican pool room proprie tor that Hoa wa^a lylnic In a secret stronghold armed with two shot guns and two revolvers awaiting an opportunity to make good his boast: "I'll kill 15 policemen and shoot myself with the last bullet." The Mexican gave as his author ity for Itoa's^jlhreat to "shoot It out" another Mexican who Is sought. Meanwhile the pool room proprietor, Jesus Hernandez, was lield Incommunicado. Shortly nf ter he had been questioned a po lice sergeant boarded a train for Detroit where Hoa was reported to have friends who were to ar range for his escape Into Canada.

Raymond. Henry Ford was not in court J when selection of the Jury began and whether lie had actually been ? served with a subpoena apparent ly ntIII was in dispute. A motion of tho plaintiffs to strike out the 571 paragraphs of jthe plea of defendants was denied .by the judge who warned tho de i fendants. however, that they j would have to point out the 4pe 1 rifle paragraphs to which they , were referring in ad ml It lug ov!? rdence. The plaint If fn asked tho plea I be stricken out on the grounds thai it did not justify the accusa tions of libel but was evasive. Threats of /contempt proceei ings against Mr. Ford wero h;ll in abeyance pending setec'iou of i he Jury.

On the other haniif Ford counsel claims tha? neither cooperative marketing nor the Jewish race Is on trial.
