’ but only after a couple of scares. We join the hundreds of Indiana fans who have been pulling for owr neighboring Ohio town to go alt the way and we congratulate the players, their fine coach and the entire school for the great showing Wilshire made. Hundreds of people from this area braved the late winter weather to toUew the Bearcats to Cincinnati for the final games. 0 0 The sudden death in Fort Wayne Saturday es Edgar L. Bleeke, supervisor in the internal revenue' bureau, brings to our memory the fact that Bleeke was born and spent Ma childhood in Decatur. He was a son es Mr. and Mm Ferdinand Bleeke. The elder Bleeke served as Adams county clerk many years ago. Edgar Bleeke left Decatur when he was fifteen years es age but he al-' ways kept a close contact with many local friends. He has been in internal revenue service more than twenty years. He died Saturday afternoon following a heart attack at the age of 53 years. Bleeke was a good citizen and Ms place in the revenue department and also in the church and civic life of Allen county will not easily be filled. 0 0 if Two members of the city council, in addition to Councilman Al Beavers, will retire next January. Joe Murphy, appointed to fill a vacancy and Adolph Kolter, neither of whom chose to seek another term wHf toe nrtssgf .in adminte'Wttion of%ity affairs. Both men are capable and both served weU as members of Decatur s governing body. These men are conscientious and neither felt he could sacrifice the necessary time from the press of business to serve another term. The people should be and we are confident they are appreciative of the services rendered by these two good citizens. They both, no doubt will often be counseled by the next administration and it is our guess both will continue to serve their city, whether they have official titles or not.

He tried the door at the top of the steps hopelessly and was right, it was stout and solid in its frame. Two small windows were securely boarded up. He went into the bins, a small storeroom, and around the walls of the main cellar. The stone work was unbroken. He found no weapon with which to batter down the door at the head of the cellar steps.

sharply, lit a clgaret, leaned against one of the bins,. tried to pull smoke into tus lungs, and coughed. Someone else coughed. No one else coughed. It . was an echo. The cough came again, a sort of cough, not like his own, a low harsh exhalation. Inhale, exhale , . It sounded like snoring. Andrus went toward the wine i barrels and looked down unbelievingly.

Parole Supervision To Change July 1 Change Legalized By General Assembly INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — State corection board chairman Hugh O’Brien said today July 1 is the target date for change-over of parole supervision from the welfare department to the board of correction. Such a change was legalized by the 1955 general assembly, and becomes effective April 1. However, O’Brien said that inability to find space for the new division will delay the change-over until July 1. The 42 employes, who have handled the supervision of paroled prisoners under the welfare department, will continue as before until then. The 42 employes who are on a merit basis are to be retained under the department of correction supervision but will have new i quarters whenever they can be lo- | cated. — j Norfolk, Va„ is the world’s leadj ing coal seaport.

that turned the trick. The wanted man had been seen entering 11 Glover St. by the side door. According to turn, Andrus had attacked ms victim in the cellar to which ne nad followed ner and the wind nad blown the door at the top of the steps shut, locking him in, holding nun tor them, keeping him on ice until they got there. To any and all questions of motive Dupasse nad one answer. Andrus nad killed Brodsky, the woman knew it, and Andrus nad tried to kill ner. He thought ne'nad succeeded, wasn't aware that there was a spark ot life left, or he would have finished the job, — Information was quickly gathered trotn the neighbors. The stricken woman was a Mrs Annie Fenn, a widow with one married daughtei who lived m Portchester, New York. Mrs. Fenn ownec the house and nad occupied it tor nine or ten years, supporting nerselt by day work, cleaning, laundry, babysitting, etc. Brodsky was known to havy been a constant visitor, a nocturnal visitor. He always came latish at night, remaining from one to three or tour hours. In the middle ot these proceedings Todhunter wandered Oft on his own. Unlike Dupasse, he was deeply disturbed. He nad Deen tn the cemetery that afternoon. He had seen Susan Dwight and Lofting He nadn’t seen Mrs. Fenn, but he had already predicated her—after listening to Brodsky's sister, Mrs. Potter, and Mrs. Potter’s question* about her brother's moni ey. Inquiries among Brodsky’s tavern companions, vague though the . answers were, led him to Glover - St, just too late to prevent another tragedy. Ik the course of bis meanderings : Todhunter had an encounter that 1 distressed turn. Outside in the sleety darkness he came on Susan Dwight, huddled in the Pelham car halfway down the little road. She i knew what had happened. Finding Andrus gone from the barn loft she i had burned down there and had i arnved as they were taking him I away. Todhunter had a soft spot for . pretty women. He thought Susan Dwight very lovely sitting behind ■ the wheel, her slender face pale, i her eyes luminous pools m the I light of the dash lamps. She was in a state of shock, probably i wouldn’t nave talked to him so I freely under other circumstances. He told ner who ne was and, guardedly. What he was doing. His . sympathy broke her down. Finally, after a long and informative conversation ne persuaded ner to go home, watched the car turn and move off, and continued with ius i work with a sigh. (To Be Continued)
