A year ago Dollar's son killed another member of the family and then committed suicide. Mrs. Stella Gooding, the daughter. and her son. Weldon Barkdull, 19, were expected to recover.

BRAVES JOIN TOP-NOTCHERS New York, June 16. —(U.R)—Manager Bill McKe’chnie's Boston j Braves, whose success featured the first few weeks of the season, are living up to the promise they displayed in starting off the 1931 < campaign. ‘ Rated as no better than a second ! i division club when the season started, the Braves upset the dope by taking four straight from the[ Brooklyn Robins, then rated as one I lot the most formidable clubs in ; the circuit. When they continued to play winning ball, scribes began] to wonder if Boston hadn't been ; underrated. It wasn’t long, however, before the Braves began to play more in < line with pre seasen expectations. < But they never slipped out of tile . first division and last week when [ they took three out of four games fro mthe St. Louis Cardinals, cur-, rent pace setters in the National league, the Braves got back into the headlines. Now against the Cubs the Braves \ have continued their winning ways. They made it two in a row yester-1 day, 9 to 3, driving Bob Smith from [ the mound in the fifth inning while Sherdel was holding the Cubs at bay. The victory advanced the I Braves to within two and one half | contests of the third place Cubs. Manager Rogers Hornsby, who 1 has made only one safe hit in the! present home stand of the Cubs, | benched himself in an effort to j shake off a batting slump. No other National league games | were played. The Philadelphia Athletics retained their three game lead in the! American league by defeating l Cleveland, 4 to 1, behind the five-' hit pitching of Rube Walberg. ( Washington kept pace with the j Athletics, defeating St. Louis, 4 to I 3. Marberry’s fine relief pitching enabled the Senators to win. Boston defeated Chicago, 3 to 2. j in eleven innings in a pitching duel' I between two rookies. Frasier of i [the White Sox allowed on'y four hits but errors by his mates caused his downfall. Kline held the White! Sox to seven blows. The Detroit Tigers made if two I in a row over New York, 6to 5. ! I Yesterday's hero: Rube Walberg, | who pitched the world champion! Philadelphia Athletics to a 4 to 1 j ■ victory over Cleveland. Walberg 1 , allowed only five hits in registering his tenth victory of the season.! o Governor White Will Attend I. I). E. A. Meet —— li Indianapolis, June 16 —(UP) — Go/.

CARNERAWINS BY KNOCKOUT New York. June 16.—■lU.R)-- Primo Camera’s status among heavyweight boxers remained uncertain [today, despite the big Italian's one-' I round knockout victory over Pat Redmond of Ireland. Redmond, | who lasted only two minutes and 24 seconds in his scheduled 10i round bout against Camera at Eb- ■ bets field, Brooklyn, last night, held , undisputed right to ranking as the j world’s worst heavy—if, Indeed, he i deserves any ranking at all. Redmond either was unable or i unwilling to make even a pretense, of being a fighter once he entered I the ring and the 20.000 spectators' who donated $36,600 to witness ; Promoter James J. Johnston’s] of freaks’’ left the arena with I only one definite conclusion — that the shaw had been even poorer than cynical sports writers had [ predicted. There were many cries of "fake" after the fight although there was little evidence to support this theory. Redmond’s showing entitled him to charter membership in the group of Camera’s "tank" victims. but his "dive" appeared to be of the dry or involuntary type, induced by a complete absence of ability. j Primo demonstrated that he is unusually speedy for a man of his weight—he scaled 275 >4 pounds to Redmond’s 245 — and that he has [ enough punch to sink fragile fighters. hut how lie would shape up against a first-class opponent remains a mystery. o CUB MANAGER j BENCHES SELF! i — Chicago, June 16. —(U.R) —RogersHornsby plays no favorites in his. i job of managing the Chicago Cubs. | A few W’eeks ago he benched i Hack Wilson, leading home run hit-j [ ter of the major league last season. I ■ because Hack was in a batting , slump. It made no difference to Hornsby that Wilson was the sec- | ond highest paid player in the Natj ional league. "I would bench myself if I wasn’t: [ doing the team any good," said Hornsby at the time. Hornsby proved he meant what he said when he took himself out I jof the Cubs’ lineup yesterday in , > favor of Clarence Blair. The Cubs'[ manager had made only one hit in i I his last seven games, and his batti ing average had dwindled to .298. j "There's no use in my playing 1 until I can shake off my hatting I slump," said Hornsby. "Every i I player on my club including myself, j has to deliver to stay in the line- 1 I up. I don't care about batting av- , erages. I am only interested in | winning ball games, and every play- ; er's job is to give his best efforts I toward that result.” Another example of the fact that j Hornsby does not let his personal i likes and dislikes influence him in [ his baseball decisions is furnished | i by Lester Bell. o —. Life of True Golf Bug Is Not Such a Smooth One Johannesberg, S. A.. June 16.— I fU.R' —The life of a true golfer is a, I hard one. New problems are always ' ! cropping up. The rules that did for I I our forefathers seem rather an-1 tiquated in these days of steel-1 : shafts and lighter golf balls. Imagine the dilemma of a woman [ ■ gclfer who found herself playing [ [ with golf balls made of soag! | There's nothing in the rules about , that. | The woman in question—no doubt | I her name is a diplomatic secret —, ; was playing in a sealed hole competition, and thought she would use half a dozen golf balls which had recently been presented her. I She chose a nice, shiny new ball, j placed it on the tee and gave it a ' hearty smack in the direction of I the fairway. The ball immediately . burst into hundreds of pieces. Now the rules, curiously enough, i 'provide for just such a calamity. 1 1 They state that another ball can be dropped without penalty on the spot where the fragent of the shattered ball lies. I The woman teed up again. But' sniffing a peculiar scene more

suited to the boudoir than a golf! course, she examined her ball, to] find it was made of soap. But her troubles weren’t over. The question arose as to whether she should be disqualified. The materials of which a golf ball must be constructed are not specified, although a legitimate ball must have certain weight and size. If the soap ball was within these] i limits it would, presumably, be a golf ball within the meaning of the] rules. If, however, the spurious i ball did not conform with these standards then the competitor would have to be disqualified for playing her first stroke with an illegal ball. | As the ball had been dispersed 'to the four winds of heaven, the knotty point is still being debated. | o MURDER STILL DEEP MYSTERY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONKi This man. as they Elated to the United Press yesterday, had the girl read him passages from sex j works of Havelock Ellis, and mal-| treated her so that upon reaching young womanhood she was a warped creature of conflicting emotions and strange moods. "One day 1 was cleaning gloves with ether," Stanley Faithfull, her stepfather told the United Press "The girl smelled it and commented, “Oh, I love that’.” This strange ecstacy was a re suit, he believed, of the etherizing practice of the man who is de-! scribed as the father of several! children, prominent in his home' community and supposedly a man with a reputation above reproach. Liquor, too, had weird effects upon i the girl, who in her normal mo-' merits was said to be “charming, ‘ I fastidious and captivating" to all ] i with whom she came in contact. If violence was done her. as sus- i . pected. it would mark the second I time this year that she had been the victim of a brute. In March I she was taken to Bel’evue. dazed 1 [and badly bruised. The man who brought her said he was her husband. and there had been a regia] i tration in a midtown hotel of a I Joseph Collins and wife. He was I 'a short .blonde man. Faithfull has I a theory that he may be a man whom Starr met sometime ago ! through a shipping friend, but he, ; has nothing tangible on which to go. The man was scarcely men- , tioned in the family, though Starr was ‘amazingly frank with all of | us." according to Faithfull. As a! matter of fact, Starr claimed that, ] that night was a blank to her. The [evidence pointed either to drugg-1 ' ing with ether or to alcoholism. ■ Faithfull pictured his step-daugh- ! er as a girl of real refinement and culture, but she was subject to much introspection and to dark J moods which, he claims, were the i result of the maltreatement of the man who crossed her youthful I path. She liked men, and had many I friends. But, Faithfull, wishing to, clear the girl of some aspersions in the press, hotly denied that she l was promiscuous or that her companions were other than gentlemen.' The United Press today saw a] [facsimile copy of a release of claim’ that Faithfulls allegedly signed af-] ter receiving $29,000 when they i sought reimbursement for outlays ’ made to doctors on account of I Starr's state. I This release freed the party in , question of all claims “from the [beginning of the world to the date lof these present.” It was signed in I the summer of 1927. i The United Press also had an , insight into a “mem” book the girl [ kept while she was a student in | Rogers Hall, an exclusive school in Massachusetts. This book had a part of a page devoted to an alleged trip she made with a man and ■named several hotels at which, she i wrote, they had stopped. Faithfull I has checked on this alleged journey and believes it was part of the maltreatment he charged. Starr had done much travelling. ] The girl once wrote her mother on 1 ■ stationery of the Savoy Hotel in London. “I am all settled in the new I house, namely the Commodore HoI tel, Pembridge Square. I told you abort D. B. He is buying a car and is really trying so hard to make up for being 'nasty to Susie' that she has forgiven him practically. Cheerioski,” then follows a ' picture of a star instead of her signature, Starr.

I GANG LEADER AT ODDS WITH CHIEF LAWYER — (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Chicago, June 16—(U.R) The federal government brought "Scarface i Al" Capone to justice today to ] answer for 10 years of crime. Prosecutors said it was Capone’s j last stand in his long criminal career. The corpulent underworld leader dropped his customary indifference to law. forsook his char-I fteter as invincible ruler of the gangs and rackets —and took on the appearance of a terrorized criminal. It was the first time Capone ever has faced the probability of spending several years in prison. Government agents expressed confidence of conviction under the indictments which Capone must answer late today The indictments, representing months of careful and dangerous work by federal agents, charge that Capone: 1. Defrauded the federal gov--1 eminent of $215,000 in taxes on almost $1,000,000 income,in five years. The highest possible penalty is 32 years in prison and an SBO,OOO fine. ■ 2. Directed a super-business in liquor which brought in $200,000,- ; 000 over a 10-year period. Two 1 years in prison and a SIO,OOO fine j is the maximum penalty for that i offense. His alternatives in answering I either of the indictments are to: , 1. Disregard the advice of his high-priced attorneys, plead guilty and accept the penalty with the hope that the government will Is' ! lenient.
