OLD MURDERS ARE
i
SINISTER TURN IN CASE
NEW YORK. Dec. — The Cos
ter-Musica mystery, already in
volving millions of dollars, took
a sinister turn as Brooklyn’s de
tectives began an investigation
of the swindlers possible connec
tion with the unsolved murders
of Joseph Cohen, wealthy fish
and poultry dealer, and his bro
ther Barnett, in 1932.
Police Inspector McDermott
ordered detectives to question
members of the Cohen family as
well as the Coster-Musica three
brothers, who are being held un
der $100,000 bail each on charges
of violation of the National Se
curities Act.
Assistant U. S. Attorney Brien
McMahon said the Musica bro
thers apparently frittered away
millions of the corporation's dol
lars and probably used great
sums to hush blackmailers.
McDermott’s tentative theory
calling for reopening of the slay
ings of the two Brooklyn men
followed the same line that both
Cohen, Brothers had known Cos
ter-Musica in the days before he
became corporation president.

DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS
HOLD PARLEYS HERE FOR
ORGANIZING LEGISLATURE
(From Fairbanks News Miner)
With all members of the
Fourth Division’s legislative dele
gation in Fairbanks, conferences
among them have been frequent
The arrival Tuesday from Li
vengood of Sen. C. H. (Alabam)
LaBovteaux aroused interest in
candidacies for Speaker of the
House and President of the Sen
ate. The other senator from the
Fourth Division is Victor C. Ri
vers.
Fourth Division representativ
es in the -House are Leo. W. Rog
gd, Chester Spencer, Frank S.
Gordon, and Jesse D. Lander.
In the legislature, which will
meet in January, there will be
only one Republican—Leroy M.
Sullivan in the House from
Nome—-so the Democrats will be
able to organize both branches
of the lawmaking body.
The House is composed of 16
representatives, four from each
Division. The Senate has eight
members, two from each Div
ision.
Perhaps the most active candi
date for Speaker of the House is
Howard Lyng of Nome. He was
born in the Aleutians and is a
graduate of a university in the
States.
After serving in the 1935 leg
islative sess’on, he became asso
ciated with the management of
the federal government agri
cultural project in Matanuska
Whie he was at Matanuska, he
retained his residence at Norm
and in 1936 was a candidate for
the Democratic senatorial nom
ination in the Second Division.
Mr. Lyng had no trouble in be- s
ing elected to the House last fall.
He has written to other Dem
ocratic representatives a-king
for support for h's speakership
cond dacy. He is said to have the
assurances of support from some;
r presentatives of this Division
and from some representatives of
the Third Division.
At the conferences in Fair-;
banks this week, Mr. Lyng -was
regarded as the strongest candi-j
date for the speakership, altho j
he has not yet the nine votes nec
essary for election.
For the presidency of the Sen - \
ate, two of the likely possibilities
are Senator Rivers of this city
and Senator Norman R. Walker
of Ketchikan. Mr. Rivers was el
ected to the Senate two years
ago. The approaching session will
be his second. Senator Walker,
has served two or three terms in
the Senate.
Judge Cochran of Nome may
j also develop as a candidate for
the Senate presidency.
Members of the Fourth Divi
sion legislative delegation were
guests of honor Dec. 3 at a din
| ner given by the Democratic
I Club at the Rendezvous.
