Murder Indictment Sought In Slaying Quarrel Over Dogs Results In Death Hillsboro, 111., March 3 —(UP) — State’s attorney Alan S. Windels said today he would ask the Montgomery county grand jury to return a murder indictment against Jesse Ivy, 54-year-old coal miner, for killing his brother-ii.qaw in an argument that began over two puppies. Windels said that * whether he would also charge Ivy with assault with intent to commit murder would depend on the wishes of the Hillsboro miner's wife, Emily, 46. She'lost her right eye when Ivy shot her with a .22 caliber rifle I last Thursday after slaying herj brother, Alfred Dudley, 37, Cadillac, Mich., with a shotgun blast. The grand jury convenes April 5. Ivy. who surrendered voluntarily after the shootings, is in county jail. Reporters who interviewed Mrs. Ivy in a Centralia, 111., hospital quoted her as saying her husband “either hid or gave away my two terrier puppies" because she returned home from a visit with her mother too late to get his supper. An argument followed, she said, and Dudley told Ivy he should have asked his wife before doing anything with the dogs. She said Ivy knocked her down with a shotgun after shooting Dudley, then got his rifle. It went off as she tried to wrest it from him, she said. Ivy told authorities that he shot his wife and brother-in-law after the latter ordered him from his house near Hillsboro. 0 Damages Awarded For Girl's Burns Judgment has been entered in the Wells circuit court at Bluffton, by agreement of parties, in the sum of $275 under a complaint for damages filed by Joan Emshwiller, 4, by her father, Tom Emshwiller, against Mrs. Margaret Fields Lambert of Decatur.

File Pafernily Suit On Alabama Governor Named Respondent In Divorcee Suit Cullman. tAla., March 3 — (UP) — James E. (Big Jim) Folsom, Alabama’s kissing governor, today was named respondent in a paternity suit in which a 30-year-old divorcee from his home county charged he is the father of her 22-month-old son. The suit was filed in Cullman county chancery court here yesterday by Birmingham attorney Kingman Shelburne on behalf of Christine Putman Johnston, who sought to have herself declared Folsom’s common-law wife and to give her son "the dignity of legitimate birth.” The six-foot eight-inch Alabama governor, who recently announced his presidential candidacy as a southern favorite son, left Montgomery yesterday to drive to Washington to testify before a congressional committee. He was to arrive there early today. The complainant, described as a tall, striking woman with reddishblonde hair, lives with her parents. Mr. and Mrs. P. L. Putman, on a cotton and strawberry farm outside nearby Hanceville. Ala. Her brother, Carter E. Putman who filed a companion suit on behalf of the son to legitimize the birth, told the United Press that Mrs. Johnston was “in Detroit” but declined to give further details of her whereabouts. Both suits disclaimed any inteni tion of obtaining “any pecuniary compensation or allowance.” The child, listed as James Douglas Folsom, was born April 17, 1946, at Nashville, Tenn., pursuant to arrangements made by Mrs. Johnston “accompanied and aided by” Folsom, the suit alleged. The c' -id weighed 11% pounds at birth. Folsom, a widower, allegedly was introduced to Mrs. Johnston in November, 1944, while she was working as a cashier at the Tutwiler hotel in Birmingham. “Prior to the birth of said son.” the suit charged, Folsom and Mrs. Johnston “were intermarried by virtue of the acknowledged relationship effective as a common-law marriage within the state of Alabama.” The huge governor gained his monicker of “kissing Jim" during his campaign prior to the May, 1946, Democratic primary. He is said to have boasted that he kissed I "more than 50,000 Alabama women” during his stumping tours. o Gen. MacArthur To Submit China View Many Problems Keep MacArthur In East Tokyo, March 3 —(UP) — Gen. Douglas MacArthur probably will submit his views on American help to China within the next 24 hours in the form of a memorandum to congress, observers believed today. Allied headquarters announced that MacArthur would reply to the request that he give congress his views on aid to China, but it was not specified what form his reply would take. The request, submitted by Rep. Charles A. Eaton, R.,N. J. .asked MacArthur to return to Washington and give his views “on American policy with respect to aid for China and other critical areas in the far east.” However, it was believed he might welcome the opportunity to give a comprehensive statement on his estimate of the American position in Asia. It was’ agreed that MacArthur W’ouid resist the suggestion that he go to Washington in person. Three urgent problems keep him in the far east. They are formation of a new government in Japan, pending elections in Korea and the possibility of anti-American outbreaks in China. 0 Gasoline Retailers To District Meeting Members of the Adams county gasoline retailers’ association have been invited to attend a district meeting at Fort Wayne Wednesday night, March 17, to hear an address by Rankin Peck, president of the national congress of petroleum dealers.
