Say Mrs. Rutledge Courted Hallman State Witnesses In Testimony At Trial Cedar Rapids, Ia„ May 25 — (UP) — A state witness testified today that the eye-catching dress of tall, blonde Sydney Rutledge caught and held his attention when he visited at the desk of the man her husband allegedly killed. Ray Strother, who said he worked in the office of the Emerson Electric Co., at St. Louis with Mrs. Rutledge and Byron Hattman, testified in the murder trial of Dr. Robert C. Rutledge, St. Louis baby doctor. Rutledge is charged with stabbing Hattman to death in a hotel room here last Dec. 14 to avenge his wife’s seduction. Strother testified that Mrs. Rutledge wore a "tight, white sweater," but the defense objected and his description was stricken. Then he said he was dressed in "an outstanding way.” Laughter broke out among the spectators in the crowded courtroom. The remark was allowed to stand. Other witnesses said that Rutledge's wife visited with Hattman frequently at his drawing board ir. the Emerson 'Electric company plant at St. Louis where they both worked. Rutledge .is standing trial on charges that he followed Hattman here and stabbed him to death in a bloody hotel room battle last Dec. 14 to avenge his wife’s seduction. Rutledge contends he jcted in selfdefense while attempting to dissuade Hattman from annoying his wife. There was a slight possibility that all testimony might be concluded today but most observers believed the opposing attorneys would begin their final statements tomorrow or Friday and hand the case to the jury before the weekend. John Quody, Mrs. Rutledge's boss at Emerson, testified that beginning July 23 last year, she stopped for a 10 or 15 minute visit every day at Hattman's desk, just 20 feet from 'her own. “Not on one occasion," he said, "did I see Barney (Hattman) at Sydney’s desk.” But, he said, the “conversations seemed to cease" about Aug. 10, just 10 days after Hattman allegedly seduced Mrs. Rutledge forcibly as she protested and fought against his advances.

Former Dyer Banker Enters Guilty Plea Plea Is Entered To Embezzlement Charge Hammond, Ind., May 25—(UP)— William J. Gettler, 50, former cashier of the First National Bank of Dyer, Ind., today pleaded guilty in federal court here to bank funS embezzlement charges. Elmer R. Hedges, 36, whom the government charged was engaged in a conspiracy with Gettler to defraud the bank, pleaded innocent. As Hedges walked from court, he was arrested by two Lake County deputy sheriffs on a warrant charging sodomy. It was issued on the complaint of Donald Uhlenberg, 18, Hedges’ cellmate at the Lake county jail. The pleas were entered before special judge Charles Brlggle of Springfield. Gettler was indicted on charges of conspiracy, false entries, and misappropriation of bank funds. Hedges was indicted on charges of conspiracy and mail fraud. The indictment charges that Hedges issued $123,636 in checks without sufficient funds in the Dyer bank to cover them, and that Gettler covered the checks by manipulating savings accounts. Hank examiners reported shortages of $460,000, extending over an eight-yea? period. Walter Keckich, assistant U. S. attorney, approved extension of the present ball of $30,000 for each defendant. Gettler asked for pre-sentence investigation by a federal probation officer. The request was granted. Briggle returns here June 15 to dispose of his case and to set the date for Hedges’ trial. In the warrant, Uhlenberg complained that Hedges had indecent relations with him while Uhlenberg was awaiting trial on a burglary charge and Hedges was awaiting release on $30,000 bond following his arrest on the federal charges. Hedges posted $3,000 bond later for the release of Uhlenberg, who was returned from Waterloo, la., for the Lake county trial.
