LOCAL MAN fS UNDER ARREST Muri Bailer Is Arrested At Fort Wayne, Heid In Jail Fort Wayne, Ind. Dec. 9 —(UP) — j Muri Bailer, 28, of Decatur sat in on a session of Allen county circuit court —but just as a spectator. Although a paternity charge had been filed against Bailer last March I in Magistrate, and special constable, Carl C. Bullerman’s court, the constable had no luck in trying to serve a warrant on him. On a hunch Constable Bullerman I showed a photograph of Bailer to circuit court reporter Elmer Dodenbeck who remembered the face, spotted the fugitive among the, courtroom spectators and tipped oft a deputy sheriff. The threadbare warrant was hunted up and Bailer is now in Allen ! county jail under default of 0500 1 bond.

FATE OF BRITISH (CONTINUED FROM the anxiety which is continually increasing as long as this matter is not dealt with?” Baldwin replied: “I can assure the right honorable gentleman and the house that no one knows that more than I do.” Baldwin appeared less strained and more composed than usual. Some members thought his expression showed signs of mental relief. Frederick J. Bellenger, laborite, asked whether Baldwin is aware "of the grave financial inconvenI ience being caused to many sub- ; jects of this country by the delay in coming to a decision. Will he kindly suggest to his majesty the necessity of Shouts of “order, order” cut him off but Baldwin replied: “1 can assure him that has not escaped me.” Meets Attorney (Copyright 1936 by UP.) Cannes, France, Dec. 9.-4U.R) — Theodore Goddard, Mrs. Wallis Simpson’s solicitor, consulted her today about her divorce. Previously it had been insisted that Goddard was here only to discuss Mrs. Simpson’s business affairs in London, such as the lease of her Cumberland Terrace house, but Goddard told the United Press that they’ talked over the divorce during a meeting of 2% hours. Goddard said that Dr. W. Douglas Kirkwood, who accompanied him here in a hurried flight from London, was present only to attend him and not to see Mrs. Simpson. “I came here to see Mrs. Simpson, for whom I acted in her recent divorce case,” Goddard said. ’ i deemed it advisable to come in connection with other matters also. It must be readily recognized by everybody that it is impossible for me to communicate to the press the matters discussed Ifetween us as solicitor and client.” With regard to Lord Brownlow’s, explanation that he came to discuss the lease of Mrs. Simpson’s London house, Goodard said: "I am not responsible for what Lord Brownlow says.” Goddard had lunch at the villa of Mr. and Mrs. Herman L. Rogers, where Mrs. Simpson remained all day. “Reports in the press concerning Dr. Kirkwood are too ridiculous," Goddard said. “He is one of my oldest friends and I always have been advised for personal reasons not to fly. “When early Tuesday I had to use a plane as the only means of transport for the first time, Dr. Kirkwood was good enough to express a strong wish to accompany me for reasons personal to myself. “I acceded to his request and he came for that reason alone. He left Cannes this morning.” o Lena Busche, local nurse, left this morning for Huntington to take care of a patient.

COLLEGE GIRL MURDERS CHUM Blames “Homicidal Fixation” For Sudden Impulse To Kill East Lansing. Mich., Dec. 9. —i (U.R) — Hope Morgan, 25, college graduate, excused the slaying of ( her best friend today by claiming , to be the victim of 3 “homicidal' fixation.” Last nigbt she and her college | room-mate, her chum since high school days—Bessie Giltner, daugh- j ter of a dean of Michigan State; college —sat in the living room of the Giltner home addressing invi- i tatlons to Miss Giltner’s wedding, i Suddenly Miss Morgan produced a pistol and fired four shots into Miss Giltner’s chest. Police found Miss Morgan in the home of a friend, a few doors away. The .38 calibre pistol was in a filing cabinet. She admitted the slaying readily. “Send me to an insane asylum.” she cried, "and let me get on my feet.” For two years, she said, she had been driven by an inexorable desire to “kill somebody.” For several days she had carried the pistol, the property of her father, and several times had submerged homicidal impulses with great effort. Last night, writing names j on envelopes that inclosed invita-! j tions to Miss Giltner's wedding, j ' the impulse was too strong. Miss Giltner was to have mar-1 ried Captain David S. Babcock, a West Point graduate and R.O.T.C. instructor assigned to Michigan ■ State college, Sunday. Miss Morj gan was to have been a bride’s: maid and tonight she was to have given a shower for her chum. Miss Morgan insisted to police that she loved Miss Giltner, that i she had no feeling of animosity ) for her, that she was not in the least jealous of her (success in j i love. She would have killed any-' | one who had been with her at the moment her fixation exercised Its power over her, she insisted. Miss Morgan, by invitation, arrived at the Giltner home at 8 p. m. She was feeling depressed and I nervous, she confessed. She felt i she had to tell someone about her fixation. She told Miss Giltner who comforted her. An hour later j the impulse seized her, she killed

I Miss Giltner and fled to her own I home. Miss Giltner’s 14-year-old brother heard the allots. He ran into | the room, found his sister sace 1 , down on the floor, her right hand j ■ still clutching her pen. Ho [ thought she had fainted and so reported to his mother. They tried for a few minutes to revive her, then turned her over, revealing her chest wounds. — o STAR SIGNALS -BYI OCTAVINE ' | For persons who oelleve that human destniy Is guided by the plauet, ♦he dally baroscope la outlined by, i a noted astrologer.
