Blame Jealousy In Hirshburg Slaying Police Say Jealousy Blamed In Slaying RICHMOND, Ind. <W — Polity today blamed jealousy for the slaying of Roy Hirshburg, 64, nationally known portrait photographer. _ _ Mrs. Ethel Wise, 30. Centerville, Ind., facpd a preliminary hearing on a charge of murder after admitting the shot and killed Hirshburg Monday night. She said she fired the fatal rifle shots at Hirshburg because she was convinced he had .drugged and raped her friend. But the friend, Mrs. Ann McFarland, 41, who witnessed the slaying, said Mrs. Wise’s jealousy of Hirshburg led to the shooting. Mrs. McFarland, an ex-steeple-jack and Hirshburg’s receptionist, said she lived with Mrs. Wise for about 10 years in nearby Centerville. She moved out of their house about a month ago and moved to Hagerstown. Chief of Detectives Capt. Donald Thomas said after questioning Mrs. McFarland in her hospital bed: "The motive back of the crime is in the statement to have stemmed from jealousy on the part of Mrs. Wise over attentions being paid Mrs. McFarland by Hirshburg.” The so-called white rhinoceros is not really white but a dull gray.

To Continue Fight On New Institution Back Institution For State's Youth INDIANAPOLIS (UP)-The head of Indiana's prison system said today his office will continue to fight for a new institution to tdke care of the “mixed up kids” who shouldn't be sent to the state reformatory. Chairman Paul Meyers of the State Board of Correction said he was “very much impressed” by plans to add two million dollars to the state budget for the institution, but disappointed when the 1957 Legislature knocked it out. Former Gov. George Craig lost the fight for a new penal institution for teen-age first offenders. So did Governor Handley when Republican members of the Assembly pushed through the budget in the wee small hours of th? overtime session. Crime Training School The complaint is that teen-age boys who commit their first felony often are sent to the Indiana Reformatory at Pendleton and must share quarters with hardened criminals. Some critics say the reformatory thus becomes a crime training school for boys who otherwise could be rehabilitated. » Meyers, of Elkhart, was appointed by Handley to replace Hugh P. O’Brien. Handley, like Craig, went on record in favor of the new institution, in addition to several other "extra” projects. "When the idea came to my attention I was very much impressed by it and I still am,” Meyers said. He said the institution “should be managed as a vocational and agricultural school” and should be located in the central part of the state." Meyers conceded it was "an uphill proposition” to get money for the school. • Pendleton Over-Crowded “If enough members of the legislature could truly see the needs, perhaps the problem wouldn’t be so great,” he said. For the most part, the new institution would handle boys now sent to the reformatory. The Pendleton institution is badly "overpopulated”, Meyers said, and the outlook for its future population “is alarming” because the general population is increasing. The reformatory was designed for 1,200 inmates but as of last ' week it had 2,352, Meyers said. ' Half of the 900 cells designed for ’ a single inmate now hold two in. 1 i cramped space, he said. Meyers said he would parry the . ttctc —errs
