SECOND TRIAL JURY RETURNS DEATH VERDICT o CHICAGO, March 18—After escaping with a sentence of twenty.five years for the murder of his wife and an unborn child, Carl Wanderer was sentenced to death by a jury today for the slaying of the "ragged stranger” he used as a dupe to cover up his greater crime. The defense immediate ly moved for a new trial. The verdict was reached after twen ty.nine minutes of deliberation and Wanderer, when he heard it, betrayed no sign of emotion except to flush slightly. ,“I didn’t care what they dij to me," he said as he left the court room. His defense had been insanity and hi s attorneys assertej that this plea would be the basis of his appeal Wandered shot and killed his wife and th e "ragged stranger” last June. His first story was that the “stran. ger” had attempted to hold him up in the entrance to his apartment and that his wife had been killed by a stray bullet when he and the “stranger" fought with pistols. Owned Both Pi s tols For several days Wanderer was looked upon as a hero. Then police traced the pistols and found he claimed one of the weapons and said the other belonged to the dead man The police proved that both belonged to Wanderer and he broke down and con. fessed that he had hired the “stranger” whom he called “the poor boob” to impersonate a robber so that he would escape suspicion of having slain his wife, I n his first trial for the murder of hig wife and her unborn baby Wan. dered repudiated the confession He was found guilty and given a twentyfive year sentence, the jury announc. ig that it had compnromised on the punishment The state immediately arranged for a second trial the cha-ge being murder of the dupe. The body of the stranger still ig in the county morgue, never having been identified. Wanted to Rejoin Army Wanderer in the repudiated confes. sion said he met the man in a saloon

stranger h e w-ould kill his wife, but wanted to make it realistic by a

“Mock Robbery.” ,

He said he wanted to get rid of his wife so he could go back into the army where he had served overseas

PLANT EARLY CROPS

The time is her e to put in your early garden crops. Just as soon as you can get the soil well prepared plant onion sets and seed, lettuce, radishes, cabbage, cauliflower kohl rabi seeds and plants, chard, kale, early beets and turnips, and if you still have a little time left get your parsnip, salsify and parsley seed into the ground though these may be

planted a couple of weelcs later

Be careful not to plant mor e radishes and lettuce than you need, for unless these crops are used just as they reach the right size, the radihes will soon become hot and tough while the lettuce will send up seed stalks and will be too bitter to be

palatable.

Sow a few radishes in your parsnip and salsify rows; the radishes will be large enough to use before they crowd th e other plants, and at the same time the germinating radish seeds will break the surface soil so that the youag parsnip anj salsify plants may easily push through Plan to grow such crop s as will keep the table supplied with fresh vegetables all summer and at the same time provide for canning drying and storage for winter use, ig the suggestion offered by Purdue University gardeners
