POLICE ADVANCE REVENGE THEORY r IN CARTER CASE Seeking Man Who Threatened to Get Officers if j- After Sentence. ■ Police turned to the “revenge” motive today in an effort to solve the Identity of the slayer of Patrolman Charles E. Carter, 30, of 2014 Brookside Ave. Officers were seeking the man Whose personal dislike for police In general was voiced in municipal court in January, when he threatened to “get” the police after Judge Paul Wetters had fined him $lO. The jurist, overhearing the remark, aidded a thirty-day jail sentence. Although Officer Carter did not become a member of the force until March 22, officials, realizing that any policeman would have been a welcome target for the gun of the man who made the threat, began eearch for the suspect. Trailed to House Sergt. Frank Reilly and a squad of police Monday night trailed the movements of the man from the time he was seen Saturday morning in a restaurant In the vicinity where the fatal shooting took place in the 500 block E. Court St., to the home of a friend, where he was last early Monday. There the trail was lost. The “suspect” went to the home ©f a friend Sunday noon, and asked for a place to stay, Reilly said. He was intoxicated and remained until Monday morning when the host gave him 75 cents and a clean shirt and sent him away. The host told Reilly his guest talked about the slaying of the policeman but because of his intoxicated condition he paid no attention to the story. Another clew led police to a nearby town. A watch is being maintained there for a man police believe may have shot Carter. He has not returned home since he left Saturday to visit in Indianapolis. All Police Active Police Chief Claude F. Johnson issued orders again today that every policeman must keep a close watch for clews. Reilly arrested a man early today and slated him at city prison under SSOO vagrancy bond. He is said to be a pal of the man who threatened “to get the police.” He refused to

ILL 0’ TO’ MEN BOLSTERING BIG BAYOU DIKE Louisiana Residents Refuse to Quit Homes Until \ Routed by Flood. Bu United Press Levees in southern Louisiana still were holding today as workers continued doggedly to build sand bag tops on the dikes in a seemingly hopeless attempt to avert the threatening flood. Maximum danger will not be reached until tomorrow, or later, with the crest at the big bend along Bayou Des Glaises. Thirteen parishes in the south-central part of the State—one of the greatest sugar cane belts of the world—were threatened. Residents of the Louisiana valley continued to refuse pleas to evacuate before it is too late. A few have left, but the majority chose to remain until driven from their homes by the water. Wave washes along the bayou an i on the Mississippi near Baton Rouge have been checked without serious damage. The Mississippi was falling from Natchez, but between Anxola and New Orleans it is rising at the rate of one-tenth of a foot a day. The water level at New Orleans is stationary and the city is believed free from serious danger. TWO DRIVER ARRESTS Pair Nabbed When Autos Hit Other Cars—One Damaged. Police charged Charles F.

Love’s Wreckage The Tragic Story of a Woman’s Flaming Battle for Her Husband’s Love

THE widespread, steadily - growing popularity of this great magazine is ample proof of our oft-repeated statement that life Itself is always more dramatically thrilling than mere fiction can ever be. In its pages, human experience is seen it its best and its worst. Its writers have lived—have scaled the heights of happiness and have plumbed the depths of despair. Mo* of all they have l earned, through trial and error, the truth about life, and are willing to bare their souls for the benefit of others. Read in June True Story, for example:., “The Mad Whirl” —Since Jean and Terry had grown up together, Jean’s parants assumed that of course they would marry. The fact that Jean was not in love with her old playmate, and that her response to his caresses was of a most perfunctory sort, did not seem to enter into the matter. Jean, they said, would do as she was told —and Terry agreed with them. But they were to leam to what desperate lengths a girl will go when sriiTcd to revolt against such tyranny. “The Song of Satan”—Francesca had all that any woman could desire to make her happy—a loving husband, a comfortable home, an adorable child. Then came Alfredo who seemed to

She thought nothing else mattered —until that ghastly day when she discovered that Dick had given his love to another; that it was not a momentary infatuation, but a true, sincere love for a woman who was as wise as she was beautiful and good. Dazed, bewildered, dumb with anguish, poor Babs groped blindly, frantically, for a way out. Was Dick lost to her forever? Could she yet salvage a little happiness from the wreck she had made of her home ?
