ATTEMPT TO LINK UP BANDIT GANGS PHILADELPHIA, April 3.—Federal agents today were attempting to link up five alleged hijackers and their girl pal, held here on a murder charge, with the eggers gang of bandits and bootleggers who lately terrorized the Pacific coast. The girl has been virtually identified as May Vaughan, wanted in connection with the killing of a Seattle, Washington dry agent last June. Members of the eggers gang were sought by government agents and police in a score of cities following their activities on the coast. Word from San Francisco today indicated the possibility that members of the gang were among the prisoners. The arrests were made yesterday and after the gang had been held on charges of highway robbery, a department of justice agent lodged the murder charge. In addition to the girl, those held are John Brucker, Joseph Curry, Harry Green, Thomas Miller and Jacob Diamond. WON'T CONFIRM WOOD APPOINTEE BACRAMENTO, April 3.—By a vote of four to three, the state board of education today refused to confirm the appointment by Will C. Wooll, state superintendent of public instruction, of William John Cooper, Fresno, city school superintendent, as president of the San Jose state teachers college. The board's action in declining to concurs in the appointinent came after C. A. Storke, Santa Barbara member, had declared that "Mr. Cooper is out of sympathy with the administration." JURORS SLOW IN ISSUING VERDICT HARTFORD, Conn., April 3.—At four p.m. the jury in whose hands rests the life of Gerald Chapman was still deliberating. It was the consensus of court opinion that it would be some time before the jurors were able to agree upon a verdict and many believed they would be unable at all to decide what should be the bandit's fate. The case went to the jury at 12:59. Judge Jennings told the jury Chapman either shot Skelly or he didn't and if he did, he is guilty of first degree murder. Jennins cautioned the jury to "Give Chapman a fair, impartial trial according to the evidence in court, and not judge him on his pass records." Judge Frederick Groehl made the final plea to save Chapman from the gallows. "Let him live to repent," pleaded Goehl. "And he will die. I am satisfied, in the Atlanta jail." "I ask you not to take his life as long as there is a reasonable doubt." MONTHLY REPORT OF POLICE CHIEF Twelve drunks and 10 possessions formed the bulk of 33 arrests reported by City Marshal Nicholls during March. There were 63 minor complaints, such as nuisances and boys stealing oranges, 25 reports of thefts and 17 accidents. Ten out-of-state autos were inspected for Calif.' licenses, 21 parking offences were reported and 59 other traffic violators and speeders.
