“Wo had to shake him repeatedjly to awaken him," she said. "When he was awake we asked ■ him If he had heard shots. He I said. ‘no.’ I Orla Shaw went for a doctor , who in turn summoned Sheriff Oliver White and District Attor--1 ney James Cullen. They took liar old back to Prairie Du Chien and i questioned him for eight hours. There, according to Sullen, the ' boy confessed he shot his sister ' with a .22 calibre rifle. "1 killed her because she stepped on my toes while I was on the floor," he said. t He slept two hours, arose, and , repudiated the "confession." But a second confession was forthcoinI ing. This time, according to Sheriff White, he admitted having re- , lations with the little girl and was , “afraid she would tell on me." , This he also repudiated. I A lie dector test was arranged . in Chicago. The needle wavered i as the boy explained he had slept I , soundly until the Shaws aroused 1 him. "He's lying," said the investigate ' or. "You're shielding someone," Hill told him. “No., no," the boy shook his head. Then on June 14. Orla Shaw was taken to a hospital. A few days later he died, and his physician made out a report saying death was due to "acute hemorrhagio nephritis brought on by nervous ' breakdown." Dr. William A. Sannes of the , Richland Center hospital where; • Shaw died eaid he believed rumor;; I ' that Shaw himself, a respected■ farmer, had had relations with the slain girl hastened the nervous breakdown. —•' ■ O" - ■ — STATE OFFICER i .

.AMERICANS ARE !l URGED TO FLEE J FROM INTERIOR ’ Consular Authorities Advise Americans To i Go To Coast > — Shanghai, Aug. 4— (UP)-Amerl--11 can consular authorities today advise<] all Americana to leave the Interior of Shantung province, and go to the coast. It was suggested that American , citizens concentrate at Tsingtao, , where United States warships are assembling. Admiral Harry E. Yarnell, comI manding the fleet, is expected at (Tsingtao in the cruiser Augusta toI morrow or Thursday. j Previously, Americans in Shantung—a danger spot because it Ees between the Shanghai-Nanking district and the Tientsin-Peiping war area—had been advised to leave more remote points and go either to Tsingtao or to Tsinanfu, 2<H) miles inland. But as the danger of real war between Japan and China became more acute, American consular authorities at Tsinanfu today urged that Tsingtao a'.ine be made the concentration point, thus clearing the entire inland country of Americans. i The probahlity was foreseen that i if formal war started, the Japanese would attempt a landing at Tsingtao, which is of great etrategi value. However, the fact that American warships are there was the deciding factor. Anxiety increased when if was confirmed today that the Chinese government had advised officiate and other employes to evacuate their families from Nanking, the national capital. It would be expected that Japan, in event of war, would bomb the city- however, it was learned that fear of a food shortage was the first consideration of the government in advteing evacuation of those able to leave. The north China situation was reported quiet. Japanese war p'anes continued ei»«radic bombings of Chinese trains, intending to warn troops from going north. Japanese j continued to report massing of [Chinese regulars -in the Kalgan i area northwest of Peiping. Japanese soldiers had seized all of the Peiping-Tientsin country in a tight grip.

scattering garrison detachments in additional towns and villages. At Tientsin tension relaxed, consular authorities gradually relaxed emergency restrictions but continued to restrict movement of Chinese in the concession districts. Japanese reported that they dteoivered that "communist’’ Chinese school children aided Chinese snip- i ers during the Tientein fighting. The Japanese today put an army | guard around the Russian consulate, looted by gunmen allegedly in Japanese pay. Gen. Kiyoshi Katsuki, Japanese commander in chief, donated 100,000 Yuan (130,000 for relief of Chinese made destitute by the Japanese Bombardment of the City. WITNESSTELLS ATTACK ON COY Evidence Is Submitted In Tria! Os Joel A. Baker Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 4 —(UP) i —The state continued its parade of witnesses in Marion criminal court today in the attempt to prove that Joel A- Baker, former Marion county welfare director, ordered an assault on Wayne Coy, former state welfare director, in the statehouse last March. The defense, meanwhile, is using every opportupnity to belittle the case as "political persecution” with the statehouse Democratic erganization doing the prosecuting. Charles B. Marshall, an employe of the state welfare department, described the attack on Coy made by Pete Cancilla, an associate of Baker who ateo is under indictI ment and will be tried when the Baker case is concluded. "Cancilla was striking Coy,” he sa-id. “Coy covered his head with his arms and lurched forward, fallI ing to the floor, and began to groan and cry out. Blood began to drip to the floor, Coy reached up and pulled the shaft of hte glasses from I his eye.” Cancilla then stepped over Coy’s ' prostrate form and ran north in the ! statehouse corridor, Marshall said. Frank J. Murray of South Bend, director of the Indiana League of I Civic associations, tcld substantially the same story, adding that Coy kept saying “Pete Cancilla, Pete Cancilla" as he fell in great pain. Anderson Ketchum, former state senator and present secretary of the state tax board, also named Cancilla as Coy’s assailant, and added i agory description of the scene after i the attack. Fourth witness was Leighton B'. wens, secretary of the state architects’ registration board, who presented a drawing of the part of the ! statehouse where the atack occured and swore to its accuracy. Prosecutor Herbert Spencer said he has 10 to 12 more witnesses, in- * eluding one or two “surprise” wit--1 nesses, wha will link Baker with ■I the attack even though he was not on the scene at the time- The bulk of this testimony is expected to : come from Judge Dewey Myers of the Indianapolis Municipal court. in his opening statement William Batchelder, defense attorney, ridiculed the entire case, saying Baker ' was ousted from his county welfare prst because “the Democratic State | machine determined to centralize all power in the statehouse.” Coy himself will take the stand against Baker after having flown across the Pacific Ocean from Mai tkla, where he is administrative assistant to former Governor Paui i V. Me Nutt, U. S. commissioner to i the Philippine Islands. o FAIR SIDELIGHTS (CTSTIWTO FJWM PAM OCT) ' band, couldn’t get their free passes to the rides yesterday for some time.

Q New Angie Reported In European Crisis London. Aug. 4—(UP)—A report I that Benito Mussolini tried recently i to obtain from Adolf Hitler a declaration i'S support in event of an attack by Great Britain but failed, was published today by the conserj vative Daily Telegraph. The story was advanced as a report to which foreign diplomatic cir- , cles attached importance. If true, it would explain the apparently urgent haste with which foreign diplomatic circles attached importance. If true, it would explain the apparently urget haste with which prime minister Neville Chamberlain laet ' week wrote a personal letter to Mussolini, seeking better relation.

Dunn's last radio message indicated that | he had been maneuvering to get . under low-lying, heavy clouds. Lieut. Crutchfield Adair, navy pilot, sighted the wreckage yes terday. He reported no sign of life, but the navy, in the faint ' hope that some had survived, sent ■ submarines, destroyers and a minesweeper to the scene. They picked up a section of the plane's cabin, containing a seat, several life preservers, a footrest, a sec-1 tion of the cabin wall containing a porthole, and 52 scattered pieces of mail. Naval officers examined other bits of wreckage, and estimated that the plane was traveling at' approximately 150 miles an hour when It crashed. They believed it would have been impossible for anyone to survive. Those aboard the plane were: Passengers: Rex Martin, aeronautical adviser of the bureau of air commerce, U. 8. department of commerce. G. J. Caldwell, also \>f the bureau of air commerce.
