BIRGER DENIED RETRIAL; WILL HANGJCT. 15 Judge Denies Motions of Convicted Gang Chief and Followers. Bu United Prcsg BENTON, 111., July 28.—Formally sentenced to “hang by the neck until dead,” Charlie Birger, who once ruled over the most powerful gang in southern Illinois, today awaited his doom, set for Oct. 15. Judge Charles H. Miller fixed the date after denying Birger's motion for anew trial on charges growing out of the murder of Joe Adams, West City mayor. Others Lose, Too At the same time the court denied similar motions of Art Newman and Ray Hyland, gangsters, who were tried and convicted with Birger, and committed them to the penitentiary for life. “Your position is unique in the history of Illinois,” Judge Miller said in sentencing Birger. “You so forgot yourself that you did many things and then set yourself up superior to the law. You became intoxicated with the idea that you were superior to all the laws of this State and community. Glamour Costly “You surrounded yourself with young men, and you were proud of the fact that when you appeared on the scene the clarion call announced your arrival. You had the glamour about you that youths tried to emulate. You were a man of many impulses, some of them good, but most of them otherwise. “Charlie Birger, the law has overtaken you, but now you must realize that you owe something to your children. The only way you can repay for your deeeds is by cooperating with authorities and assisting them in clearing up the mysteries which remain unsold.” GIRDLE GLOBE IN PLANE John Henry Mears Will Seek to Regain Record.

BEGIN HERE TODAY A rebuke which FLORA CARTWRIGHT, VERA CAMERON'S rauchwldowed aunt, flings out to Vera as she leaves the apartment they share, comes back to Vera with mocking suddenness the same morning. Flora disapproves of her niece’s long skirts, braided hair, horn-rim spectacles, low-heel shoes and her business-like manner. When a promotion Vera expects with the Peach Bloom Cosmetics Cos., where she is a private secretary, is given to someone else, Vera remembers her aunt’s words. Hdwever, her promotion to assistant of the new advertising manager, JERRY MACKLYN. crowds everything else out of her mind. The first day she is in his office, he asks her to let him transform her with the aid of Peach Bloom cosmetics into a beauty, using her photographs in the company advertising. Vera indignantly refuses, but reconsiders when in the elevator going down to lunch she sees and falls in love with a man she hears called SCHUYLER. She hears him remark to his companian that he will be at Lake Minnetonka in June. A Jerry calls in KITTY PROCTOR, a professional demonstrator, and they decide to make Vera over. When Vera greets PETER DARROW. her aunt’s latest, he scarcely notices her. This angers Vera and she determines to attract him yet. CHAPTER VII | 1 LORA CARTWRIGHT sat on C the deep couch in her living [ i I rcfom, while Peter Darrow, on cassock at her feet, leaned pleadingly against her knees, which were barely covered by the blue hem of her skirt. “Peter darling,” Flora was ing in the voice she reserved for just such occasions as this—a sad,, sweet, gentle voice, a voice of noble' renunciation, “some day you will thank me for refusing to marry you. Some day you will say, ‘Flora was right. She was wise, she saved me for the great love of my life’—” “Don’t, don’t!” the boy’s voice vibrated passionately. “You are the great love of my life. I won’t have you treating me as if I were an infant, whom you can play with and cast aside. I asked you to marry me three weeks ago—” “It will be three weeks Monday," Flora corrected him, sighing gently. “And I shall continue to ask you every day until you consent, or I shall abduct you and compromise you so that you will be forced to marry me to save your reputation—” “How delicious!” Flora laughed. “I haven’t been abducted since Jack Preston—my second husband—you know, dear—” “Yes, I know,” the young man said fiercely. “I’ve met him. He’s always hanging around here—” “He wants me to marry him again,” Flora signed. “Don’t, Peter, you hurt me! Oh, dear, there’s the bell. Will you go to the door, darling?” "If it’s Preston I’ll kill him!” Peter Darrow promised her savagely as he rose to his slim young height and strode angrily across the room. “Is Au—Mrs. Cartwright here?” a musical, imperious voice, with a hint of laughter in it, demanded when Peter Darrow opened the door. “Er—yes. Won’t you come in?” Instinctively Peter Darrow passed a hand over his rather rumpled chestnut hair and bowed deferentially as he made way for a girl and a man. “Someone to see you, Flora?” “You are Miss Cartwright?" the girl asked, offering a gloved hand. “Miss Cameron’s aunt?” “Yes. I am Vera Cameron’s aunt,” Flora admitted, mystified.

“She is away at present, out of town oh business. Oh, I believe you are Mr. Macklyn, the advertising manager!” She offered both her hands' to Jerry Macklyn, whose incredible blue eyes were shining like jewels beneath the riot of his flaming red curls. “My niece has told me all about you, Jerry Macklyn! Oh—have you come to tell me that something has happened in Vee-Vee? Quick! I haven’t heard a word from her, and I’ve worried myself sick!” “A great deal has happened to Miss Cameron, Mrs. Cartwright,” Jerry said gravely, “I’m afraid —” “Dead!” Flora Cartwright shrieked. “Peter! The ammoniatop shelf of the bathroom medicine closet! Oh, I’m going to faint! My darling Vee-Vee!” she moaned, swaying toward Jerry Macklyn. “Aunt Flora, don’t you know me?”. The exquisite creature who had made Peter Darrow instantly selfconscious stepped forward quickly. She had discarded her new voice, spoken in the prim, precise tones of the Vera Cameron that her aunt Lknew. 1 “Vee-Vee’s voice!” Flora gasped, steadying herself against Jerry Macklyn’s willing arm. “Who are you?” she demanded wildly. “I’m Vee-Vee, of course,” Vera laughed. “Have I changed so very much, y Aunt Flora?” she exulted. “Changed? Good heavens! Peter! Peter! Cbme here! Never mind the ammonia! Petef, do you know who this is?” she demanded, dramatically, entirely recovered from her threatened faint. “Do you recognize her?” Peter Darrow, out of breath from running, confronted the girl and stared at her blankly for a long mo* ment, then color flooded his boyish face as he stammered, “No, Flora—but I’d like to meet her!” “That,” Flora announced, pointing a shaking forefinger, “is Vera Victoria Cameron! I can’t believe; it! I simply can’t! Turn around slowly and let me look you over, darfing,” smiling brilliantly, pirouetted on the toe of a smart French pump. But it was at the girl’s lovely face that her aunt gazed open-mouthed with incredulous admiration. The heavy eyebrows were gone, and in their place were two narrow brushstrokes of silky, copper-colored brows that enchanted them with their failure to match each other. “Take off your hats” her auns commanded her, breathlessly. Vee-Vee’s smile deepened. She lifted, very carefully, the swagger little hat, and revealed a head from which masses of mousy-brown hair had been cut. “jP er sect! ” Flora Cartwright sighed, clasping her hands ecstatically. "My dear, how did you ever do it? I swear I would never have known ydyi, and I’m still not convinced really Vee-Vee Cameron.” , , J “I didn’t do Vee-Vee laughed. “It was Jerry Mk'clyn. Pygmalion, take your bow!” “I had good marble, to work with, Galatea,” Jerry grinndJ“We mustn’t forget KK’ty Proctor and Peach Bloom,” Vee'< Vee reminded him. "Oh, Aunt K'iora, it will take hours to tell you all about it, and I don’t want to cheat poor Peter out of his evening with you. I’m tired, too. I didn’t get my v bob and my permanent until this afternoon, and then Kitty g,nd lAshe’s the Peach Bloom demonstrator with whom I’ve been living vhile the transformation was bt>ing wrought—had to dash all up aiNJ down Fifth Ave. looking for this ensemble. Mr. Macklyn was with us. He insisted on helping to choose the costume.” “This fool girl doesn’t know a thing about clothes,” Jerry Macklyn chuckled. “I guess it’s up to you and me, Mrs. Cartwright, to see that she doesn’t backslide and get all wound up in one of those black shrouds of hers.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

“Well,” said Vee-Vee coolly settling herself on the couch, “you are going to have a bigger job than you’d bargained for. For I may as well tell all of you right now that I’m going to take my vacation the last half of June and that I’m going to Lake Minnetonka—” “Lake Minnetonkq?” Flora Cartwright echoed with amazement. “Are you planning to stay at the Minnetonka Hotel, Ve-Vee Cameron?” “Nothing else but," Vee-Vee replied flippantly. “But, Vee-Vee, Jo you realize how expensive the Minnetonka Hotel is? It’s the swankest summer hotel in New York State. And you’ll need a complete outfit of summer resort clothes —” “Exactly!” Vee-Vee agreed “That’s where you and Jerry—l mean Mr. Macklyn—come in. As he says, I don’t know a thing about clothes—” “I’m afraid you don’t know how expensive they are, especially the kind you now require,’ her aunt said a little tartly. “It will cost you a fortune, my dear.” “I’m going if it takes every cent I have, and I’m going with a wardrobe that will be entirely appropriate, even for the Minnetonka.” “Now I know you’re Vee-Vee,” Flora Cartwright laughed. "That was the rhetorical voice in which you used to lay down the law to me, but, child, your words amaze me! Do you actually mean that you are going to fling away your carefully hoarded savings on one mad spree? What about your old age fund?* 1 “A girl that looks like that,” said Jerry Macklyn, “doesn’t have to worry about her old age.” “You’re wrong, Jerry,” Vee-Vee told him impudently, “my trip to Minnetonka is old-age insurance.” “So!” Flora gasped. “You’re going to set out deliberately to capture a rich husband! Peter, darling, tell me I’m dreaming!” Color flooded Vera’s camelliawhite cheeks. Then she thought to herself, resentfully. “Well, let her think that if she wants to! I’d die before I’d tell her or anyone else that I’m going in pursuit of a man I’ve only seen once in my life." Aloud she said: “Clothes are not the only equipment I need, Aunt Flora. I may look sophisticated—and who could help it with this bob?—but I don’t know a single, solitary thing about—about having a good time. I don’t know how to get a beau or what to say to him if I get him. I don’t know how to walk or talk or—or flirt. “You’ve only half finished your job, Jerry. Will you and Aunt Flora make the beautiful statue really come to life? It’s—oh, you don’t know how important it is!” “I’ll do., anything you want me to, Vee-Vee,” Jerry Macklyn said gruffly, but his blue eyes were almost somber with foreboding. (To Be Continued.) Vera contract* for aome lesson*, and she and her aunt make a queer compact. In the next chapter.
