MRS. OBENCHAIN, ANGRY, BREAKS WITH A. C. BURCH Fellow Prisoner, Protesting Love, Threatens to Take Woman to Prison. TALK HEARD IN JAIL DON ANGELES, Cal., Oct. 27.—Deeply incensed by threats and protestations of love which she says Arthur C. Burch made to her in the county jail, Mrs. Madalynne C. Obenchain has broken with Burch. So sharp and definite is the break that she declared today that she will refuse to be a witness for Burch at his trial, scheduled to start next Tuesday unless asked to do so by her own attorneys. With her eyes flashing and with her clenched fists thumping the arm of he* chair in a reception room at the county jail where she and Burch are held pending their trials on the charge of murdering J. Helton Kennedy, the attractive prisoner asserted she is done with Burch. SAYS MADAI.V.NK KNEW OF HIS LOVE. "I love you, Madalynne—surely you knew all along how much 1 have loved you! "And let me tell you, Madalynne, that before I will lose you to Kalph Obenchain, I will take you to San Quentin with me.” These are the words of love and threat which Mrs. Obenchain said fell from the lips or Burch one night as they passed in the dark steel corridors on the second lloor of thg county jail. These words, she declared, turned to ashes the platonic feeling that she has had for Burch. Mrs. Obenchain said she was "stunned by Burch’s action and ran to the end of the corridor and up the steps to the dormitory.” In giving her decision regarding Burch, Mrs. Obenchain said; "He has made his own bed and he can lie In It. For me, I propose to hew to the line from now on and the chips can fall where they may. It has been too much like casting pearls before swine.” TELES OF BREAK WITH BI RCH. “I have done all that I could for Arthur Burch,” she continued. “Do you know that the reason I have been here in this jail, going through all this terrible ordeal has been simply because I felt that I wanted to help Arthur all I could? I)o you know that if I had just said a few words I could have walked out of here long ago?” “Am I to understand that you have cleared yourself of the charge against you at Burch's expense?” the correspondent \ ked her. “l'ou ize to understantd nothing of the sort. I didn't say that. It is because I, thought possibly what I might say might be twisted and construed unjustly to Arthur's disadvantage that I decided to withhold certain information which. If I had divulged, would have let me out of this Jail twenty-four hours after they had arrested me.”

REQUIREMENT OF PROOF MET BY WILMETH (Continued From Page One.) Hartman together at the voting place in the Third precinct of the Fifteenth ward. He tes'.ried that LaMar made a bet of S3OO with Will Howard, a brother of the witness, and with another man, over the outcome of the election. He denied that Hartman had made a bet. Mrs. Augusta LaMar of 1322 West Mar ; ket street, testified that she is the widow of LaMar and that Ilurtman appeared at her home on primary election day and had her husband drive him to the polls In her husband's automobile. Mrs. Lura Donahue of 231 North Holmes street, testified that she saw Hartman and LaMar together on primary day. TALKED ABOIT STOLEN AUTO. Prior to Wilmetli resting his case as an Intervening defendant, William enstein, a city detective, testified of talking to Hartman regarding Frank Moore this year relative to an automobile which was stolen and for the theft of which Moore was suspected. On cross-exam-ination, Rugenstein stated that he had known Moore as Moore for about a year and a half before heard that Moore’s real name was Francis. He testified that Moore's reputation was “bad." Dr. Edward H. Katterhenry, whos.-. home. It Is alleged, was burglarised by Francis, testified - that he visited Hartman’s home recently and recovered bed linen, towels, aluminum ware, blanket,, an electric toaster and other household goods which had been stolen from his home. He first stated that some of his linens were embroidered with the lnltal *‘K,” but on cross-examination he refused to state that the linens recovered at Hartman’s home had the letter "R. embroidered on them, but contended that all linen had hit laundry mark on them.

He answered in response to questions pnt to him by Mr. Holmes that he hud filed an affidavit charging Francis with burglary and that the police so far have refused to serve It. Shortly before the court ordered an adjournment at 8 o'clock last night after having been on the bench since 1 o'clock in the afternoon, counsel for Wilmeth exercised their right under civil proceedings to call Hartman to the stand. After answering a few question pertaining to his name, age and occupation, he was removed temporarily from the stand to permit Jennie Corbett, a nurse, of No 21 The Ardmore at Ncpth East street and Massachusetts avenue, to testify. When cour. resinned at 8 a. in. today Miss Corbett was on the stand for the purpose of answering questions propounded by Ira Holmes, wlin is chief counsel for Mr. Hartman In criminal actions now pending In both the United States District Court and the Marion County Criminal Court. On direct eamination by .counsel for Mr. Wilmeth, the nurse stated that she has lived in Indianapolis about twenty years and had been a nurse for about eleven years. She testified tint she was calleo to 250(1 North Delaware street on the last day of January of this year to nurse a “Mrs. Moore.” On the •following day, Feb. 1, she testified that Mr Hartman came to the house. “Mr. Hartman came to the house and I answered the door.” she testified. “He introduced himself and asked me if Mr. Moore was there. I told him Mr, Moore was out. He then asked to see Mrs. Moore and I took him into the room. He Introduced himself to Mrs. Moore and said he was Haarlman and that he was her husband's attorney and friend. She said she was glad to meet him because she' had heard her husband speak if him.” Miss Corbett testified that after Mr. Hartman had a conversation with Mrs Moore he “asked me if there was any liquor in the house. There wore fom quarts. I don't know what it was. I think it was whisky. (Counsel for Hartman objected.) Anyway, there were four bottles with labels on them, and he told me to take them to the cellar and bury them in the ashes.”

THIS BRINGS ON HEATED DEBATE. Heated debate followed by counsel for Hartman when she attempted to give her “impression” of why Hartman ordered her to do this. The court ordered that her “impression” should go out. “My best impression is that I was told to bury the four bottles so that If the house was searched they wouldn't be found.” “Who told you to bury the four quarts?” counsel asked. “Hartman told me to bury them. He just told me to bury the bottles. I knew that Moore was In trouble. (Counsel for Hartman objected). On the last day that she was at the Moore home, as she referred to Fran* Francis, the “confessing burglar," Moore left with his wife and baby. "Moore took his wife and baby away and left me there,” she testified. “Mr. Hartman came and told me that be would relieve me the next day and he did.” Miss Corbett testified that on Got. 5, of this year, when she was attending to a case at 202(5 College avenue, that Hartman came to her. “He asked me,” she testified, “to identify the things that were in Moore s house while I nursed his wife. I told him at first that I would go to police station, but I finally told hum MM I wad 4 not go

and I didn’t. He asked me if X could remember the things in Moore's house. Itasked me to go to police headquarters and Identify the things. "He said that I was the only one who could save him from going to the penitentiary and that it would be like putting a bullet through his head if I didn’t go.” She testified in answer to counsel that she never Identified the goods at police station. Counsel for Mr. Wilmeth probably In final argument, as indicated by them, will pay particular stress on the fact that on Feb. 1 of this year, Moore's or Francis' residence was at 3500 North Delaware street and not at 305 North Mount street, which is the residence of Hartman and at whose residence the records of the primary election officials in the Ninth precinct of the Fifteenth ward, shows that Francis voted as being a resident of that ward and precinct by living at ilarUuan's residence. These records have been introduced by counsel for Mr. Wilrueth. Three official stenographers are being used in relays to take the evidence and in this way the official transcript of the case could be ready for use by counsel to appeal the case to the Supreme Court if counsel so desires. Late yesterday counsel for Wiimeth introduced many witnesses who admitted that they were Howe-Jewett workers at the polls on primary day. The evidence of these witnesses may be summed up as follows: That Hartman with several men appeared at the polls on primary day In Fifth precinct of the Fifteenth ward. In which ward Hartman did not live at the time of tha primary, and attempted to vote, but when Informed tnat bo did not live In the precinct, he left without voting. Also that he protested to the challenger in the Fifth precinct of the Fifteenth ward regarding the kuethod used In challenging certain voters, whom counsel at tempted to show were Democrats, who sought to vote the Republican ticket and that Hartman told the challenger to “stop doing tha " APPEARED AT POLLS WITH FRANCIS. That Hartman appeared with a man who gaev bis name aa Francis, and his address at Hartman's home, at the polls in the Ninth precinct of the Fifteenth ward, which is Ilnrtman'a precinct, and voted. That challengers and party workers did not challenge Francis because his ad dress was given from Hartman’* home and because Hartman was a candidate for the city judgeship on the Republican ticket. That the official records show Hartman and Francis voted at the same time as Hartman’s number was 124 and Fran els’ number was 125 and that the addresses of both appear as the same on the official records of the primary officials. That many witnesses identified a Ber tillon picture of Francis to be the same man who accompanied Hartman to the polls and voted at the same time in Hartman's precinct as a resident from Hartman’s home. The picture was not admitted by Judge Moll as a Rertlllon picture, but Just as a means of identifying the man who was with Hartman on primary day. Walter Gibson, who was a holder of a poll book in the Ninth precinct of Fifteenth ward, and who lives at 234 Fershlng avenue, said he saw Hartman and Francis on the morning of tho primary election and that F rancls was wearing a dark suit, a dark hat of soft material and that he was not wearing or carrying a raincoat at the time he saw Francis at the voting place. Gibson said the poll that he had in h!s posession on the day of the primary election was one that he and bis wife hud made for their personal use. He said he had gone to the home of J Herbert Hartman once for the purpose of polling his inline and that his wife had gone twice and that neither of them had found anyone at home.

Counsel for Hartman showed Gibson the name of E. L. Gibson of the same address of the witness, but Gibson denied that he bad been polled under that name and also said there were no other men voters living at his residence number. - Gibson testified that he did not see Hartman shaking hands with several peo pie before entering the voting place, after a former witness for the intervenor hnd stated that Hartman spent some lime In slinking bands and talking with persons around a bonfire that had been built in front of the voting place. Gibson said he never knew Dick La Mar, who died shortly after the primary election. According to Gibson's testimony he Is a driver, working for Ivingan A Cos., and was so employed at the time of the election. TELES OF *3OO BET ON HOWE. Walter Hainmon, 770 North Velleview Place, precinct committeeman for the Ninth precinct of the Fifteenth ward, said Hartman appeared at ihe voting place in company with Francis and that Hartman demanded that some persons whose votes had been challenged be allowed to vote. He said he told Hartman they were Democrats and that they had no right to vote for Republicans in the primary. Hartman, he skid, then went away and came back presently, saying that be and Gammon should be friends and that he (Hartman) and bis friends were supporters of Howe and not Shank and that be and his brother, Fred Hartman, only the day before had bet 8300 that Howe would wla the nomination.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1921.

Haminon charged that Hartman, upon coming Lack after they had had their controversy over the eligibility of the voters, whose votes had been cliatleneged, took him out to a machine standing at the curb in front of the voting place and Introduced him to Francis, whom Hartman stated was a friend of his. Hatnmon would not state positively that he saw Hartman and Francis together in the maehlue. Ilammon testified that the man whom Hartman introduced as Francis, was dressed In a black suit and wore a dark hat of soft material. He also stated that after the Introduction Hartman and Francis went Into the building where the election was beiug held, with llartuian leading At first Hauimon left the impression that be witnessed Hartman and Francis entering the room where the voting booths were, but later he voluntarily stated that It was not Lis intention to leave that impression and that he lind only seen them in the act of entering the building. HARTMAN ATTEMPTS ILLEGAL VOTE. Charles Dody, 0'8) Belgium Place, testified that he was around the polls in the Fifth precinct of the Fifteenth ward and that he saw Hartman come to that voting place between to and 1,1 o’clock on primary day. He stated that Hart man Insisted that he had a right to vote there and that Mrs. Kffle Johns tohl Hartman that he lived In another lre cinct. He testified that Hartman left without voting there. Counsel far Henman attempted to show by Mr. Dody and other witnesses who testified to a similar state of farts that tho Dotmdaiy lines had been changed a short time before ttg primary and that Hartman admitted that he was mistaken in his vot Ing place, although be had bean Informed that that voting place was tho one at which to vote. Mrs. Effie Johns, 721 North Bello View Place, gave testimony tending to substantiate that given by Mr. Dody and others at this voting place. She said she was a precinct commltteewoiaan. She claimed that Hartman, turning to the mon with him, said “Como on. boys, let's vote." Bbe said that the* did not know if Francis was with Hartman at that time. Mrs. Clara Collester of the Fifth pro cinct of the Fifteenth v ,p d, testified she 'was at the polls In lnt 'it of getting out the woman veto and stated that Hartman was there on the morning of ihe primary. ♦ Daniel Dugan, 022 Prospect street, testified that he talked to Hartman on the evening of Oct. 1, last, after Hartman bad attended a meeting held at Fountain Square. “I asked Hartman what there wss to this Francis talk,” Mr. Dugan testified, "and Hartman told me there wasn't any thing to it and that he knew Francis ns Moore and that Moore was a client of his. He said that it was all blackmail. I said that if he lied on him that he should knock him on the head."

D. O. Newton, 283 Belieview place, and a city fireman, testified that he was Republican clerk at the primary in the Ninth precinct of the Fifteenth ward. He went Into detail regarding the appearance of Hartman and Francis ut tne toting plnee together and facts concerning the record showing that Hartman's number was 12' and that Francis' num ber was 1?5. On cross examination. Attorney Holmes, attempted to show thnt Newton was only positive on certain alleged facts concerning Hartman and Francis and that be was vague on other voters who appeared at the polls that day. Newton stated that i.e remembered Francis because Francis was with a candidate (Hartman) and thnt was the reason of remembering the circumstances. OFFERS HELPERS $3 EACH. Ed Ebaugh was placed on the stand by Wilmeth's counsel and testified on direct examination that (shortly before the primary lie bad a conversation with Hartman in the latter's law office and that Hartman told him and other* that if they would work for him on primary day he would pay them 85 each. He said he accepted and received Hartman’s cards to pass out. He said he never bad been paid, but had asked Hartman once for his money. On cross examination, Ebaugh admitted that he hnd called upon T. Ernest Maholm who also was a candidate for the Republican nomination for city judge and in the presence of two constables In Maholm's justice of pence court, stated that he had been to Hartman and because Hartman would not give him any money he would work for Maholm. He admitted that he received Maholm’s cards and admitted that he told Maholm that he would work for him. Ebaugh, on cross-examination, admitted that be went to Hartman voluntarily and then went to Maholm after seeing Hartman. He claimed that he was at the polls in the Fourteenth precinct of the Ninth ward. Mr. Holmes at tempted to show that there were only forty-five votes polled in this small precinct and that only eleven votes were cast at the primary. The object of counsel for Wilmeth In placing Ebaugh on the stand was to attempt proof of the allegation In \V 11nieth's fourth paragraph of answer that Hartman promised Ebaugh and others $5 each for working for him and that Hartman (lid not show this promise on his official report of primary expenses filed with the city clerk. This expense report was admitted in full without objections. Mr. Holmes also was able to obtain from one witness, who was a challenger in Hartman's precinct and ward, that h did not challenge Francis because any one who was eligible to vote at the coming election was eligible to vote at th, primary. Herbert Fletcher, inspector of detectives, testified that he first saw Francis, alias Moore, In Jail at Louisville, ICy., and that Francis' reputation f<)r honesty was bad and that Francis was known as a thief. By Judge Moll opening court at 8 o'clock this morning, It is thought that the court will make a final decision In the case sometime today.

BANK BANDITS BURNED BONDS TO HIDE CRIME (Continued From Page One.) from each of the four Beech Grove bank bandits, according to Simms' confession. McDonald la said by detectives to be the "brains” that, planned the bank robbery, but was not present when tha robbery oceured. McKinney is said to have been a member of the Simins-Miller-Btout gang before he was appointed to the police force last march Another feature of Simms' confession is said to be that McKinney dressed in a police uniform rode in the Oakland automobile which bore the Ohio license plates, and which were put on the Hudson car used by the four bank robbers. The Oakland tar had been reported stolon a few days before the robbery, anil its owner was a man who had recently moved to Indianapolis. Some of (lie parts of the car were frVund in a garage in the roar of Stout's home. Tho motor and the rear axle of the Oakland ear were found to have been placed in another automobile anil this was the one driven and used by McKinney, according to Information given out by persons who claim to know what was said in Simms’ confession. SIMMS LOSES SHARE OF SPOILS. Simms has a case pending in Criminal Court but Stout and Miller have no police records as far ns can be learned. However, Simms, in his confession, Is said to connect them up with a gang of Chicago hold-up men who bad operated in recent months. Simms claims to have lost the greater part of his share of the Beech Grove bank robbery money in gambling in Toledo, Terre Haute and with the “levy gang” In Indianapolis. The high handed methods of certain detectives was halted yesterday afternoon by Judge Walter Pritchard In city court. Dan Brown, an attorney, was refusel permission to see bis client, Mrs. Erma Stout, 140 Fleming avenue, wife of one of the alleged robbers, who is under arrest on conspiracy charges. Mr. Brown filed papers in the city court following the refusal of police authorities for him to see h's client, and Judge Pritchard sent a messenger to the detectives’ office, who returned hurriedly and informed the court Brown could talk to Mrs. Stout. Simms’ confession is also said to have brought out in detail not only a number of liold-ups alleged to have been cotninlt.ed by the suspects, but also the actions of the four bank robbers lunuedately following the Beech Grove robbery. The bandits drove north from Beech Grove to Emerson avenue and deserted their car. They bad another automobile "planted” near there and they drove to Stout's home, Simms says lri his confession, and split tho loot taken from the bank. Mrs. Stout is said to have bee n in the house and In that way she became involved. Tho artrest of Mrs Armando Miller, thg mother of George Miller, one of the alleged robbers, is said to be in connection with another crime of which she is said to have knowledge and not the Beech Grove case. Simms’ confession is said also to connect the gang np with the IMggiy Wiggly grocery hold-up, which occurred a week before the lteech Grove affair anti which resulted In the bandits obtaining SI,OOO. Simms had been previously identified as one of these hold-up men.

SPILLANE, IN INDIANAPOLIS, IS OPTIMISTIC (Continued From Page One.) on sacrifice sales and clear out all of their goods.'* "The warehouses of America ere bare” was another optiirtstic utterance. "That means that buying will start soon to replenish theso exhausted stores.” "Tho largest item I find in storage is household goods," ha said, “placed there by the man who could not find adequate living quarters, or who was obliged to take smaller quarters than he had occupied formerly. ROOT AND SHOE INDUSTRY ACTIVE. "Tho boot and shoe industry is very active, particularly so in the Middle West. There has been a sudden change In the buying habits of the people and they aie returning to standard styles, the Middle West all along has stuck to the standard styles of footgear, while the East has made the fancy goods, and consequently when the demand turned to the staple products, the Middle West was in a position to meet it.” "There also Is a decided Improvement in the demand for lumber," he continued, "lit fact, it is the largest In the history of the Northwest. The demand has been unusually heavy from Japan, China, India, Australia, New Zealand and Mexico. These new countries evidently are building themselves up. The American railroads also are making inquiries about lumber.” •Mr. Spillane, after meeting tbs representatives of various lines of business, took, a tour about the city, visiting several of the principal Industrie*.

STRIKE LEADERS MAY BE JAILED IF TIE-UP COMES (Continued From Page One.) large number of rail workers lenve their posts, he said. The Federal Government, he stated, proposes to take all steps necistary to move the mails and to keep all sections of the country supplied with food and fuel. From official sources It was learned the Government's course of action, If union leaders do not call off the strike, probably will be as follows: 1. A public appeal by President Harding Friday or Saturday, In which he Is expected to ask continued operation of the transportation systems on the grounds that the public welfare can not be Jeopardized. 2. Court injunctions restraining interference with the malls and interstate commerce, with Jail sentences tbreatenede for violations. S. Cos ordination of the motor trucks of the country into a big transportation uuit under the direction of Secretary of Commerce Hoover to supplement the trains which It Is expected will be kept running, even if the union leaders refuse to rescind the strike call. 4. Troops will be used only as a last resort. At first armed forces will be employed only to maintain order, but should the tie-up become extremely serious Army reserves who have had experience in railroad work might be called into service. Attorney General Daugherty anuounceo the Department of Justice will take no action in connection with the strike unless a walkout has actually occurred and Its effect has been seen.
