NY Attorney Is Shot To Death
Police Believe Man
Victim of Holdup Group
Detroit, June 27 -- Howard Carter Dickinson, New York's attorney
and a nephew of Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, was found shot to
death in Rouge Park here today. Police said they believed Dickinson,
here on a business trip had been slain by holdup men.
After Police Inspector John I. Navarre had completed identification
of the body through a telephone conversation with Charles E. Hughes,
Jr., two Detroit attorneys, Archibald Broomfield and George Krapfel
viewed the body and verified the identification.
Detectives who searched Dickinson's room at the hotel said they
found no trace of a large sum of money they said they were informed
Dickinson carried. In a telegram sent his wife at Tarrytown, N.Y.,
Tuesday, he had advised her he was carrying "a large amount of money."
The body had been thrown from a moving car into soft earth along
a deserted park road, the officers said. It bore two bullet wounds,
one in the head and another through the chest. Both had been fired at
close range. There were powder marks on the clothing. Dickinson was
fully clad except for coat and hat.
The police said they were certain the body had been placed in the
park after 1 a.m., since the clothing was dry. It had rained heavily
until after midnight, Park attendants found the body at 5:30 a.m.
Although members of Dickinson's office staff in New York
declined to discuss his business here, Inspector Navarre said he
determined that the attorney had been in Detroit frequently as attorney
for the estate of the late William H. Yawkey, millionaire lumberman,
in connection with a $40,000,000 claim made againt the estate by Arthur
Carmichael, Detroit attorney, on behalf of his foster sister, Mrs.
Elizabeth Carmichael Witherspoon. Carmichael declined to comment.
Dickinson, the police said, had checked the claim in association with
Charles E. Hughes, Jr.
The body was sent tonight to Hartford, Conn., for funeral services
and burial.

Father and Son Die On Gallows
Were Convicted of Slaying Ontario Constable
St. Thomas, Ont. -- A father and son went quietly to the gallows
early today for the murder of a constable who sought to arrest the
son for stealing a bicycle.
Tarpaulins baffled 75 to 100 curious persons attracted to the
second hanging in fifty years here, and kept lightly falling rain off
Frank Temple, 52, and his son Fred, 21, as they paid with their lives
for killing Constable Colin C. McGregor May 7, 1934.
The double execution was over shortly before 2 a.m. and four
hours later the bodies were removed from the Elgin county jail to be
buried in Holy Angel's cemetery. Members of the family and jail
officials only attended the funeral.
One of Frank Temple's last acts was to send word to Sergeant
Samuel McKeown, who accompanied McGregor to the Temple home to arrest
Fred, that he bore him no grudge. He asked to see the officer yesterday,
but this was denied him. Temple and McKeown both were wounded in the
gun-play that killed McGregor.
