i DEVIL’ GETS BLAME FOR POISON PLOT Parishioners Believe Satan Prompted Rev, Lawrence Hight to Murder Wife and Plan Death of Wilford Sweetin, REMEMBER SERMON HE PREACHED AT FUNERAL Woman in Case Resents Lover's Confession Implicating Her and Retains Lawyers to Aid in Fight to Escape Gallows. By United Press INA, 111., Sept. 25.—" The devil did it.” i This is the opinion of Ina, shocked beyond anger by the poisoning of I Wilford Sweetin by his wife and ! Anna Hight by her husband, the ; Rev. Lawrence Hight. This Is the iexplanation Hight niinself makes of his crime. The 225 members of Rev. Hight’s Methodist Episcopal congregation here artd the other 175 citizens of the town went back to work today, i sadder, wiser, stUl astonished. New stories of the relations be. ! tween Rev. Hight and Mrs. Sweetin | came out into the open as the 1 preacher in a grimy coll at Nashville, j 111., and the woman in the Marion j County jail at Salem bared their i infidelities. Sermon Recalled The funeral sermon of Elsie’s hus ; band, dead by arsenic which he gave the woman, was recalled frequently. ! ('sing as his text the verse in the I book of St. John, “Let not. your ; heart be troubled; ye believe In God; j believe ye also In me; in my Fa--1 house are many mansions," j the pastor preached a powerful ser- ■ mon that moved audience to tears. This hypocrisy now causes good citizens In the quiet village to ascrpA- ' the crime to the devil. Hight himself gave the same rea- ' son exclusively to the United Press i in an lrterview looking through the I bars at the Nashville Jail. Elsie Sweetin says she felt the pastor had some influence upon her, driving her on to the terrible crime. But State's Attorney Frank Thompson, gathering tales of assignations and mysterious meetings between the two prisoners, and blase j newspaper men say “just a case of sax breaking again*! the limitations of their social bonds.” Woman Near Break Mrs. Sweetin is on the verge of a physical breakdown in her cell in the woman’s department of the Marion County jail today. I She resents the pastor's having brought her into his confession. ! “Some times even now I don’t ! think I did It. He suggested it, and he planned it, and he is the guilty one. I don’t think he should have told on me," she says. She has no kind feeling for the man who led her into the murder of her husband. After having had the coolness to administer poison to her husband three times, she is now horrified at the inhumaness of the pastor's suggesting the crime. Mrs. Sweetin has riot lost hope, however, and has retained lawyers to fight for mercy for her. Her accomplice declares he has not thought of getting a lawyer and will make no defense.

COMMISSION MAY PROBE dye™ Civil Service Officials Understood to Be Interested in G, 0, P, Solicitation of Campaign Funds From Government Employes, WORKERS ARE ASKED TO CONTRIBUTE SSO District Attorney Says His Office Will Take Notice* if Any Law Has Been Violated Provisions of U, S. Statute Set Out. An investigation of the solicitation of Indianapolis Federal employes for contributions to the State Republican campaign fund will be made by the United States Civil Service Commission. it was indicated today. Whether a letter, signed by Willis : B. Dye, chairman of the Republican j ways and means committee of In- : diana, and sent to employes of the internal revenue service, soliciting donations of SSO, is a violation of the criminal code of the civil service law, will be one of the questions looked into, according to Harry M. Trimpe, Indianapolis civil service secretary. "If there has been a violation of the law this office will certainly take notice of it,” said Homer Elliott, United States district attorney. Provisions of Law The civil service law provides that it is unlawful for any Federal employe to “be in any manner concerned in soliciting or receiving any subscription or contribution for any i political purpose whatever” and that ; "no person shall, in any building I or room occupied in the discharge of ; official duties by any officer—or emj ploye of the United States—solicit in any manner whatever, or receive I any contribution of money or any | other thing of value for any political purpose whatever.” The Supreme Court of the United ! States has held that "solicitation by ; letter to a Federal employe in a ; Federal Bldg., received and read in j such building comes within the ; statute and is a criminal offense. The penalty' provided is a fine of not over $5,000 or imprisonment for not over three years, or both. On<* of the cases cited is that of a Republican chairman named Smith who was indicted for soliciting Federal employes by letter. Statute Avoided The Dye letter, a picture of which i was printed by The Times, probably ! escapes criminal provisions because jit was addressed to an employ T e at a residence instead of at the Federal Bldg., a Federal official pointed out. However, the same official cited the section which would make it an offense for any Federal official to supply' the home addresses of Federal employes to a person who desired to solicit political contributions. Warning Is Posted Indianapolis Government employes are faced on the one hand with Dye'-< letter asking contributions and on the other hand with a bulletin of "Warning ” posted conspicuously ia the main lobby of the Federal Bldgthat they are forbidden to take an. active part in political management' or in political campaigns. The bulletin, posted by Trimpe. under orders of the commission at Washington, quotes dhe criminal code, and states "it is the duty of any person having knowledge of the violation of any of the foregoing provisions of the civil service rules or criminal code to submit the facts to the United States Civil Service Commission, Washington, D. C.” G. 0. P. CARAVAN MOVES Coolidge-Dawes Booster Due at South Bend Tonight. By Times Special SOUTH BEND, Ind., Sept. 25.
