The robbery victim was sum- ] ntoned and a complete description j of the bandit was obtained. Barce ! said. Then the victim was con- ■ fronted with a rogue’s gallery picture of the bandit and identified Burns positively. The raid on his apartment followed Sunday and Burns was arrested. Barce revealed that for two months before he went to Chicago to hunt for Bums, he was in ’ possession of evidence that the gangster was connected with the $30,000 bank robbery at South Bend last July in which Patrolman Howard Wagner was killed. "There is little doubt that ballistics tests of weapons found in Burns apartment will be connected with the South Bend robbery,” the deputy attorney general said. Barce said he had made a complete report of his two months In the underworld to Gov. Paul V. McNutt.

MURDER TRIAL — WH STRP WAGff OKF' ( said she gave Theodore Mathers. Coalmont. $lO to have her husband killed. | In summing up the state's case, j Prosecutor John J. Kelly made a dramatic plea for conviction of the I 35-year-old widow. He described her as a cold bloodied murderess and an unfaithful I wife. i He.said her testimony contained I nothing, but lies. Kelly again attempted to convince the jury that Mrs. Saunders and Theodore Mathers, 19. Coalmont, plotted the slaying because ;of their love for each other. Mathers an d Saunders were roommates at an Indianapolis embalmin’g school when the pastor was slain Oeb. 2. The youth is in the Boone county jail here and probably will he tried soon after New Years. Kelly culled Mrs. Saunders’ testimony against the character of her husband "underworld defense." She testified that her husband was a moral pervert, a drunkard and had often threatened her life. She also told the jury that he had forced her to have intimate relations with Mathers. She denied there was any love affair between herself and th“ Coalmont youth.
