DECKER’S THREE VERSIONS GO TO JURY THURSDAY Latest Repudiation of Confession Says Dago Joe Killed Lovett. ITALIAN UNDER ARREST Special to The Times. WARSAW. Ind.. March 23.—A1l evidence the authorities have gathered in connection with the mysterious murder of Leroy Lovett. 19, near Atwood two weeks ago, was being whipped into shape today for presentation to a special grand jury which will begin investigating the murder tomorrow. Sheriff C. B. Moon, Prosecutor H. W. Graham and L. W. Stookey. special prosecutor in the case, met in Graham's office today for a conference in view of the latest statement of Virgil Decker, 13. confessed slayer, in which the youth said Dago Joe Invagnolia was the real murderer. Deputy sheritTs were summoning* witnesses to appear before the grand Jury. These include every ono who has ever been mentioned In connection with the case. The Italian will testify as will Virgil and all his immediate relatives. ONE CONFESSION. TWO REPUDIATIONS. Authorities investigating the mystery were astounded at Decker's readiness to contradict his statements. He has ma le three statements from his Jail cell here—one confession and two repudiations. Sheriff Moon and detectives are weighing each one and will present all of them to the grand Jury. In his most recent statement, made late yesterday. Decker said Dago Joe murdered Lovett. Invagnolia was arrested at Elkhart and was to be brought here today. The statement was made to Attorney Robert Buhler, who will try to prove Virgil innocent. Sheriff Moon and other authorities expect it to form the, basis of the Decker defense. According to the statement, Decker and I<ovett were going to Albion on Friday, March 11, In a rented automobile. Before the trip, the statement said. Dago Joe approached Virgil and asked if he wanted to make $1,900 quick. SAYS HE SAW ITALIAN WITH BLOODY CLLB. Without telling Lovett, Virgil arranged to stop at the Lake Shore viaduct In Elkhart on the trip and pick up the Italian. After the automobile had been . driven a short distance, the statement j said. Dago Joe asked Virgil to stop it 1 and walked back the road a short dis- 1 tance calling Lovett after him. Then Virgil heard a dull thud, according to j the statement, and, running back, found the Italian holding a short club witti blood on it and Lovett lying in blood in the road. ••He makes me much tmnble,” the Italian is alleged to have said. Virgil said he feared the Italian, who j threatened to fasten the blame on him If he did not drive the automobile across a railroad track and let a train strike It to mangle Lovett's body. But. the statement said, Virgil drove to the river cottage on the rear of the Fred Decker farm, where authorities believed the murder was committed. There he took off Lovett's outer clothing and put his own on the dead youth, transferred the body : to an old buggy and placed the bnggy In the path of a Pennsylvania passenger train near Atwood, first laying the body of Lovett along the right of way.

MOTHER NOT SURPRISED BY DENIAL OF GUILT Special to The Times. ELKHART. Ind., March 23.—When Mrs. Lydia Decker was visited at the littie shack she calls home in the suburbs of this city and told that her son Virgil had made anew statement, declaring Lerov Lovett was killed by Dago Joe, she exclaimed, “Well, I'm a son of a gun.” She recalled that the Italian had visited her home Sunday morning, March 13, and inquired for Virgil. He seemed nervous, she declared. Mrs. Decker said she had believed ail along that something would happen to prove that her son was not the slayer. Detective Clayton Merrill of this city has been employed by the Lovett family to aid in clearing up the mystery. Dago Joe, who was arrested as a result of Decker's latest statement, was to be taken to Warsaw today. Muncie Plans Quiz in Hospital Affairs Special to The Times.

LIFE, NOT TALK, COUNTS, SAYS GIPSY SMITH (Continued From Page One.) Smith before an audience that packed the huge tabernacle to capacity last night. “If we were the right sort of Christians we would go into every hole and corner and ferret out this curse.” Gipsy Smith took an unequivocal stand against the liquor d.alers, both vendors and manufacturers. He told of a case which was brought to his attention Just before the meeting, when a prominent business man of Indianapolis brought a young farmer to him, and through the efforts of the evangelist the man was converted and turned from drink. In a striking way the evangelist pictured the return of this man to his home, a changed person. Several special delegations were at the meeting. Fortville sent :X)0 men. Delaware County sent forty, seventy five came from Tipton, Brooklyn bad sixty present. and the Second Baptist Church of Indianapolis sent a delegation of list from the men’s class. SPECIAL SERVICES ON GOOD FRIDAY. Special Good Friday services will be held in the taberftade, it was announced. Services will lie from 12 to 3 o'clock, several Indianapolis ministers preaching sermons in addition to that of Gipsy Smith. The evangelist will hold the regular noon hour meeting at Keith's theater. It was announced by Dr. C. 11. Winders that more than N15.010 has been collected. Should Monday night's record hold good, he said, when $2.00* was raised, it will not be necessary to collect money at the meetings after Sunday until time for the free will offering for Gipsey Smith. Continuing his broadside against whisky, the evangelist told his audience that if he had his way he would have every whisky distillery in the world burned to the ground. “I would tolerate no man as my friend who makes his living from the ruination of the souls of his neighbors.” he said. FIRM IN BELIEF THERE IS A DEVIL. The evangelist's efforts were directed toward the proof of existence of a devil, and he refuted in an excellent manner the declarations of certain persons that there is no devil. “Lots of men have seen little devils,” he said, “and if there are little ones thre must be a big one. "The devil isn’t dead. The man who says there is none is helping him carry on his business. If a man would tell me there is no devil I’d tell him he was a man who never did right“Some men say there is no devil, but there are a lot like him. I have been m your town long enough to know there is a lot of devilishness. “If Jesus is not in your home it’s because you don't want Him, and if He isn't in your heart it is because you have not made room for Him. “The devil is spoken of In the Bible as a deceiver, and unless you make up your mind to beat him he'll heat you. “The place to start beating the devil Is in the cradle. “Don’t tell me there is no devil. It may be the devil of pleasure, of selfishness, of bad temper, of drunkeness.” and the Gipsy then told of the workings of the various brands of devils. “If a man gets drunk and fails In the gutter, every person on the street knows about it. but some churchgoers go home, beat their wives, mistreat their children, and break tip their homes, but because the blinds are pulled down, the world knows no different. “Sin is the forerunner of all disease. Why, you can't say sin without hissing like a snake. Some of the people in the t'nlted States are foolish enough to jump off at everything but the right tiling. “If you will sin, you will be diseased, for disease and sin go hand in hand. Jesus has shown himself Lord over disease. “I want to say to every man, your life will not be what It should he until you become a Christian. It would make a big difference in your home. man. if you were a Christian man. You'd open the doors of possibility if you’d let Christ into your life. WORLDLY RICH MAY BE SPIRITUAL PALTERS. “Oh, it's a manly thing to be a Christian. “Without Christ your life is an absolute failure. “You may be a pauper, spiritually, regardless of the fact that you ride in the most expensive of automobiles.” Proof that the Gipsy's words were sinking Into the minds of the audience, and that they were thinking about his message, was evidenced in the weeping of men. women and children. Handkerchiefs could be seen at tho eyes of many persons in the audience. “I can't see how any woman can say ‘no’ to Jesus.” he said. “For when a woman does go down, she can go further than a man. I can only explain that by saying that the highest mountains have the deepest valleys. "Women, you should think less of clothes less of society, of Jazz, of your body und personal appearance before men, and think more of Judgment and eternity and Jesus. Nobody will listen to you as Jesus will. .. “There Is nobody who forgives like

Jesus It makes all the difference in the world when a woman in the home is a Christian. Don’t stand in the way of a boy or girl who is coming to Jesus. You'll want Jesus soon, when you die. Those who love Christ, die well. Ths concerns of eternity demand more than five minutes death-bed attention.” When the evaneglist asked those to rise who had accepted Christ, more than three-fourths of the huge audience rose to their feet. More rose, and continued to rise when he asked those who wanted salvation, to rise. Hundreds stood in response to the pleas of the evangelist. Hundreds more signed pledge cards. Applause greeted the announcement of Gipsy Smith, when he told of the conversion of the two little boys who had been sent to the meetings by the Judge of the Marion County Criminal Court, after they had pleaded guilty to a charge of vehicle taking. The lads took extreme interest in the revival progress. Cards were received even from persons in Indianapolis hospitals, persons who were unable to attend the revival meeting la person, but who gave evidence that they were there in spirit. INFANT BOY WILL DECIDE STILLMAN ALIMONY VERDICT (Continued From Page One.) evidence proves that the gentlewoman, his wife, and the defendant tn this case, took as her lover an Indian guide." STILLMAN'S ATTORNEY STRENLOI SLY OBJECTS. “We are here on a question of alimony and counsel fees,” interrupted Attorney Brennan, Jumping to his feet. ” There is no other matter before the court.” Justice Mirsehauser paused a few minutes, looking from one set of attorneys to the other, then said; • If you have all <>f these statements In the affidavits i will lie able to determine this question when they are submitted to m°. I don’t believe I want to go into the argument except as regards the amount of alimony unless you want me to do so." "Your honor wanted additional information upon this very point, to-wit, alimony,” said Mr. NScull. “If it is all In your papers I can answer your question," continued Justice Morschauser. “I have no affidavits before me. I have not got a single paper ’’ "I wanted to state the position of Mr. Stillman." replied Mr. Nicoll. “It is this: The evidence before you is the evidence of six witnesses who have testi fled that the lady whom Mr. Stillman married took as her lover an Indian guide by whom she had a child. “STILLMAN MI ST TAKE OR REPUDIATE CHILD.” “Mr. Stillman must now either acknowledge this child or repudiate it. These six witnesses will show that the friendship of this lady for this Indian guide began in 1916 and continued after the birth of this child and through 1919. “Mr. Stillman, therefore, feels that it is his duty to his father’s memory, to his children and to his family, to press this action. Had there been any other way of ascertaining the legitimacy of tbe' child, we would have taken that course. "But there is no other way under our laws to prove the legitimacy of the child other than by the p:esent action. “I do not know what n husband and father thinks whose mind is poisoned with the belief that ills wife has been Intimate with another man. “He refused to credit for a long time any thought which might bnve occurred after she may have implicated her own self. “Now Mrs. Stillman makes charges against him. Clearly she is entitled to a proper allowance of alimony and counsel fees. Mr. Stillman desires to lie fair and generous. Mrs. Stillman must defend herself and tbe legitimacy of her child.” After Mr. Nicoll had finished, John F. Brennan, attorney of record for Mrs. Stillman in tlic Westchester, Dutchess and Putnam County courts, arose and addressed the court. "Let us take this ease and pet down to brass tacks,” said Mr. Brennan. "We are not here asking for generosity. We are here to assert our rights. We want an opportunity to find out what these warrior like people are up to In tile wilds of Canada, and we want especially to know what they have to do with this case.” Mr. Brennan said that in the past eight months Mr. Stillman had contributed about $26,<X10 for the maintenance of his children and $40,000 in alimony for his wife. 7 Pay Fines at Kokomo for Milk Violations Six successful prosecutions for selling milk below the. legal standard and one for selling “watered milk” wero reported from Kokomo by Inspector John H.

JOB HUNTERS, NO CUSPIDORS, IN WAITING ROOM (Continued From Page One.) vlser presumably enters the swinging black doors which are said to lead to the inner sanctum. In a few minutes he emerges, walking with a haughty smile through the envious crowds and is gone. The crowd around the - Governor's outer office resembles to some extent the crowd in the hotel lobbies on the night before a political convention. There was former Governor James P. Goodrich, who succeeded in gaining admission without a great deal of trouble and who, when emerging, insisted he didn't know anything about appointments. There was Senator Oscar Ratls, Republican floor leader of the Senate, who did not refuse to admit he knew, or at least was attempting to learn something about appointments, lie succeeded in gaining admittance after u long wait and was In such a good humor when he emerged that be bought cigars all around. OUT OF POLITICS, Bt T W AITS. Then there was Walter Bossart of the Sixth district, who emphatically insisted that he was out of politics, and who, after a long wait, innocently asked if the Governor was considering making any appointments. Then there were job holders who fear their Jobs are not so secure us they might be. They are around most of the time, apparently forgetting that they si ill have State jobs, for which they are drawing salaries. Besides these there are numerous lesser lights. These latter feel that tho Slate needs them and that they' would do anything from mopping the floors to sitting on the public service commniission. What they wish are jobs. Above it all hangs the question of when the Governor expects to spring something. This query, voiced by telephone to Miss Bush, brought this reply: “Not yet.” FARMER FILES PETITION. Newton Spall, farmer, living near Seymour, filed a petition in bankruptcy in Federal Court today. He listed his liabilities at $7,534.25 and assets of $7,165.

SEEK WAY TO FORCE ACTION ON U. S. CLAIMS Republican Committee Members Investigate ‘Silence* of Britain on Obligations. IGNORED COLBY’S QUERY WASHINGTON, March 23.—Great Britain’s persistent silence regarding claims growing out of her seizure of American vessels, goods and mails and of her interference with American trade, both before and after the entry of the United States into the world war, is being quietly investigated by Republican members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, It was disclosed today. The whole subject probably will be opened up in the Senate at the earliest opportunity. A mass of papers bearing upon it are now in the committee’s possession, having been furnished by former Secretary of State Colby on the eve of his retirement from office, in response to a Senate resolution sponsored by Senator Lodge, Republican, of Massachusetts, the committee’s chairman, which called upon the State Department for full information respecting American claims against the British government. An examination of these papers, just completed by Senator Lodge, revealed that, although Colby had officially inquired of the British government as long

He Indicated that though most of the claims had been outstanding since before the American declaration of war against Germany, efforts of the State Department to effect a settlement had proved unavailing. In a communication addressed to Senator Lodge under date of March 3 and made public today, Mr. Colby stated: “For obvious reasons American claims for compensation were not pressed against the British government during ths war. In a communication dated Aug. 18, 1920, inquiry was made if the British government were prepared to enter into an arrangement for reciprocal adjustment of claims growing out of acts of American and British authorities incident to the war. No final reply has been received from the British government to that communication."
