Indict Sex Deviate For Child’s Murder BOONVILLE, Ind. (UPD — A Warrick County grand jury indicted sex deviate Emmett Hashfield, 53, on first-degree murder charges j late Wednesday and then launched a citizens’ probe of the causes of and cures for sexual perversion. Hashfield was indicted for the slaying of 11-year-old Avril Terry nine days ago. The girl, daughter of a local physician, vanished on an errand. Her body was found in the Ohio River the next day. After returning the indictment in what a pathologist termed a "lust” slaying, the grand jury ordered nine civic leaders to act as a n in ves tigatiiTg ~ committee. The committee was told to report its findings to the September grand jury. Named to the committee were Mayor Orgle Myers. Police Chief Paul D. Houston, Sheriff Robert lE. Shelton. Rev. Thomas Mindrup 'of St. Clement’s Catholic Church, Rev. Nelson Chamberlin of the Brethren Church, principal ‘ Harold M. McClary of Oakdale High School, school board president Richard E. Allen, Charles 'Pemberton and prosecutor Fred iL.. Mock. The jury outlined a six-point plan of investigation to determine: —What circumstances or conditions within the county might tend to contribute to sexual perversion in normal individuals. —What conditions might tend to arouse a supressed inclination to-1 ward sexual perversion. —How to recognize sexual per-I I verts. | —How to adjust a sexual per- | vert to society. —How to control the spread of sexual perversion. —How to protect the unsuspecting and unwary from sexual abuse or attack. • Hashfield’s arraignment in Warrick Circuit Court was delayed until Sept. 20 at the request of his attorney, which he obtained just minutes before the indictment was returned. A number of attorneys had refused to defend Hashfield before he secured Jack Broadfield, Indianapolis, as his counsel. Broadfield telephoned the sher- , iff from Indianapolis earlier in the day and asked to talk with Hashfield. Hashfield, held in solitary confinement since he was beaten by fellow prisoners Sunday, i agreed to talk with the Indianapolis attorney who arrived at 1:30 p.m. and advised Hashfield not to i discuss the case with anyone, > Shelton said. Ever since the slaying, Hashfield has refused to tell authorities what exactly occurred after I he chanced upon the girl outside I a local tavern the day she died. Broadfield talked with Hashfield for half an hour and accompanied him to court where the sheriff read the warrant and the arraignment date was set. Hashfield was convicted of sex crimes against children four times and had a police record going back 33 years.

Mrs. Powers Sees Husband In Jail Cell MOSCOW (UPl>— Mrs. Barbara Powers visited her husband in his jail cell in private for more than an hour Wednesday, it was disclosed today. The surprise visit came as an interlude in her efforts to win his freedom. Francis Gary Powers, the convicted U-2 pilot, and his plumpish. brunette wife from Milledgeville. Ga., were alone in the cell. No guards were present and -the door was closed. The reunion was their first alone since'’"Powers took off from Turkey last May 1 for his fateful flight deep into the Soviet Union. The meeting was disclosed by Mrs. Powers' attorneys, Frank Rogers and Alexander Parker, at a news conference held on the eve of her departure from the Sovit Union. The attorneys had just presented a petition to the Soviet Union asking clemency for Powers and seeking a meeting between Barbara and President Leonid Brezhnev. The attorneys conferred briefly with aides of Brezhnev about the possibility of a meeting between Mrs. Powers and the Soviet president, but no details on the meeting were given. Mrs. Powers also has been seeking a personal meeting with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev. Powers, convicted of espionage last Friday, was sentenced to 10 years’ loss of freedom. He will spend the first three years in a Soviet prison and is expected to spend the remainder of the time in a Russian penal colony. The prison term dates back to May 1, the day Powers’ U-2 reconnaissance plane was downed over the Soviet Union. Mrs. Powers’ attorneys have not been allowed to confer with her husband. However, another lawyer, Vincent Hallinan of San Ansalmo, Calif., met briefly with the pilot two days ago, Hallinan, the 1952 Progressive Party presidential candidate, refused to divulge the nature of the discussion. He said Powers appeared to have, a good relationship with his Soviet guards and added that the pilot claimed he was treated very well. Mrs. Powers had said she planned to return to the United States Friday unless she received further word from Brezhnev or Khrushchev. *

55 Are Killed In Brazil Bus Crash SAN JOSE DO RIO PRETO. Brazil! (UP!)—A bus carrying 59 students plunged off the road into the Rio Turvo Wednesday night, killing 55 of thoge aboard. The accident occurred near Olimpia, about midway between San Jose do Rio Preto and Barretos. 40 miles to the northeast. San Jose do Rio Preto is in the interior about 156 miles northwest of Sao Paulo. MONMOUTH (Continued from page 1) McKnight who was carrying a great amount of money was waylaid and murdered at this bridge — bright". As a child. I always called it Midnight bridge and thought it was well named. It was years before I learned the correct name." The Last Toll Year after year, things went along merrily until the planks wore out. The company which operated the road during the later i years received so few tolls that it I went without repairs and in some places was almost impassable. Along this line. Mr. Snow writes in his history: “Travelers refused to pay tolls, and a test case was brought by the arrest of a stranger in one of the taverns at Monmouth. As the story goes, along about the last days of the plank road tolls, a man came riding along on horseback and the gate keeper tried to collect tolls from him. but he passed on through and stopped at the Fleming hotel in Monmouth. An affadavit was procured and a warrant issued and put into the hands of the local constable for his arrest. The officer located him at Ziba Dorwin's grocery, which at that time was a general loafing place for the villagers in the long fall and winter evenings. When the officer had read the warrant, he reached to take hold of the man to make his arrest complete. The stranger stepped back and drew a brace of pistols and said, “No man can me,”—He got his horse and headed toward Fort Wayne—No further attempt was ever made to collect tolls by process of law. No Repairs Repair gangs went on strike and by 1862 the plank road was a general wreck. We read that the Fort Wayne group kept on charging toll from Middletown into Fort Wayne as long as 1866. We mu§t emphasize that this plank road was one of the most famous highways in Northeastern; Indiana, especially well known for i its hotels or inns. This condition j of affairs was very encouraging to the influx of settlers who con-, tinued to come to this community. (To Be Continued)

Robinson Star As Baltimore Whips Tigers By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Keep an eye on Brooks Robinson of Baltimore because you’re looking at a soon-to-be batting champ and quite possibly the ! finest third baseman since Pie j Traynor. That’s the word from Paul Richards and Casey Stengel, a pair of experts who aren’t easily impressed. The 23-year-old Robinson backed up both their opinions Wednesday night when he tripled with the bases full and played his usual flawless game afield in a 9-2 victory over Detroit that snapped the Tigers’ seven-game winning streak and boosted Baltii more back into a tie for second ' place. I • Robinson’s three-run triple off loser Bob Bruce highlighted a five-run second inning rally, eased the way for Jack Fisher’s ninth victory and helped the Orioles stay within IVa games of first place. In addition to his triple, Robinson also collected a pair of singles that increased his batting average to .304. Those three hits gave Robinson a season total of 143, second in the league only to the 147 collect--1 ed so far by Al Smith of the White Sox. L. > “Barring a mishap, Robinson ■ will win the batting title within , a year or so,” Richards says flatr ly. "He might have even done it , this year had he not hit in such J bad luck earlier this season.” Lauds Defensive Play ! Stengel's rhapsodies over Rob- • inson concern his defensive bril- ■ liance at third base. r > “I’ve been around a long time, i but I’ve never seen anyone make ; the kinda' plays this kid does," ■ Casey declares. “I saw Traynor—- ■ and he was the best. Robinson is almost up there with him though.” Stengel guided his Yankees to a 3-2 victory over the White Sox Wednesday that enabled them to retain their American League lead. The Athletics beat the Senators. 6-4. and the Indians toped the Red Sox, 3-1, in other AL games. The Pirates upped their Nationial League lead to 7*4 games with a 10-6 win over the Cubs while the Dodgers defeated the secondlace Braves, 5-3. The Phillies | downed the Cardinals, 5-3, and the Reds beat the Giants, 3-2, in

11 innings. Art bitmar won his 13th of the season and sixth straight for the Yankees although Luis Arroyo had to nail down the final out when the White Sox rallied in the ninth. Roy Sievers hit his 24th and 25th homers but Tony Kubek’s 10th homer in the seventh Inning off loser Herb Score turned out to be the winning run. Third baseman Reno Bertoia’s fifth inning error opened the door for four unearned runs that helped the A’s to their victory! over the Senators. Pinch hitter Hank Bauer singled home KC’s final two runs. Johnny Kucks was the winner and Camilo Pascual the loser. Romano Homer Wins Barry Latman itched his first comlete game of the season for Cleveland and battery-mate John Romano hit a two-run homer in the seventh to beat Boston. Latman scattered nine hits and, fanned seven in winning his sec-1 ond game. Tom Brewer suffered his 11th loss against seven victories. Successive homers by Dick Stuart and Roberto Clemente in the ninth broke a 6-6 tie between the Pirates and Cubs. Both homers came off loser Don Elston. Don Hoak also homered for Pittsburgh. Elroy Face picked up his ninth victory in relief of Vern Law. Frank Howard belted two homers and Tommy Davis and Wally Moon one each to help the Dodgers defeat the Braves behind Johnny Podres’ eight-hit pitching. Eddie Mathews set a NL record with a two-run homer in the first inning. It marked the eighth consecutive season he had hit 30 or more homers, surpassing the previous record of seven held by Ralph Kiner. Bob Buhl, who failed to survive the fourth inning, was the loser. Rookie Art Mahaffey of the Phillies won his third straight game without a defeat although he needed relief in the eighth against the Cards. Doubles by Tony Curry and Tony Gonzalez featured a three-run rally in the eighth that chased loser Lindy McDaniel. Vada Pinson’s 13th inning single scored Gordon Coleman from second with the Reds’ winning run against the Giants.

paigning. But he will be out a lot making non-political speeches between now and Nov. 8. He always smiles when he says this. Just a few mornings ago Hagerty, vvho has proved his ability to explain anything from the federal budget to ileitis, was further trying to straighten us out. He said the President would make three non-political speeches on Sept. 26. Ike will fly that morning to Philadelphia to address some accountants and some educators. And he will proceed to New York to speak that night to a charity dinner. That afternoon Hagerty was out of the office and his assistant, Mrs. Anne Wheaton, took over his chores. Somebody asked her whether the White House was ready to announce yet any of the President’s plans for political speeches. “None beyond those Mr. Hagerty told you about this morning,” she replied. Honest, open-faced Anne, we calj her.
