'AIR HELD AS INDIANA BANK BANDjTCHIEFS Jetcher Gang Is Believed Broken With Arrests in Kansas City. /lAY NOT RETURN HERE -"ourteen Robberies Laid to Band; Leader Is in U. S. Prison. Arrest of two men, described as the real “brains” of the Fletcher gang of bank and store robbers who in 1927 robbed at least fourteen banks and more than a score of business places in Indiana within a 100-mile radius of Indianapolis, was announced today by Chauncey Manning, head of the State bureau of criminal identification. The two men, Sam E. Pearman, 57, and Fred Foreman, 42, were arrested in Kansas City ten days ago on a hold-up charge. Circulars and descriptions broadcast to all parts of the country by the Indiana bureau led to their identification and disclosure of their crime records, according to Manning. Their burglary activities probably netted the bandits over $200,090 in this State, Manning said. Caught in Nashville The gang was named the “Fletcher gang,” following the arrest several months ago of Ray Fletcher, former Indianapolis policeman, as one of its members. Caught speeding at Nashville, Ind., a Brown County deputy sheriff searched his car and found a rifle, burglar tools, narcotics and some of the loot from the robbery of the Poneto State Bank, Wells County. Fletcher confessed to nine bank robberies and “squealed” on the other gang members. William Edding, one of the men arrested on Fletcher’s information, was sentenced to fifteeen years in Indiana State Prison, in Wells County for participation in the Poneto robbery. Served United States Sentences Fletcher, pleading that he had been the “goat” and was forced to participate in the robberies by threats of death, was sentenced to eight years in the Federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan., on narcotic charges. He pleaded with Federal authorities here to send him to prison so he would be safe from the vengeance of the other members.

Pearman, Manning said, Is known to police as one of the most expert users of acetylene torches on bank vaults. Known also under the aliases Frank Harris, Edward Ray, John Howard and Bert Lewis. Pearman served two terms at Leavenworth for stealing Government property. The last sentence was imposed in Federal Court here In 1924. He also was a member of the Gerald Chapman gang, Manning said. Trial in Kansas City. Foreman, the other gang leader, served a local Federal Court sentence for receiving stolen United States property at Leavenworth, at the same time Pearman served his last sentence, according to Manning, and Fletcher was in that prison part of the time on a charge or breaking into a drug store here to steal narcotics while he was on the police force. It was there that plans for the Indiana hold-ups probably were made, Manning said. Because Kansas City detectives say Jthey can send Pearman and Foreman to prison for long terms for recent robberies there, the two probably will not be brought back to Indiana, Manning said. A representative of the State bureau, however, probably will go to Missouri, to make sure they do not escape with easy sentences, he said. Robberies Laid to Gang The gang probably was responsible for a number of Indiana robberies with which It has not been connected, Manning said. The fourteen bank robberies in which it Is definitely known they were involved are: Fowlerton Bank, June 24; Carlos City Bank, Aug. 27; Farmers National Bank, Wilkerson, July 12; First National Bank Williamsburg, July 20; Arlington State Bank, July 27; Farmers’ State Bank, Poneto, Sept. 8; North State Salem Bank, July 1; Mechanisburg Bank, Aug. 21, and banks at Browns’ Valley, Earl Park, Hillisburg, Sheridian and Marshall.

Senate Committee Asks Time to Fix Guilt; Reports to Lawmakers. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. The sensational Mexican “state documents” published in newspapers of William Randolph Hearst were branded in their entirety as “fakes and forgeries” in a report submitted to the Senate today by the Senate investigating committee. The committee did not point to any one as perpetrator, but asked to continue its investigation in an effort to fasten guilt upon the fabricator of the papers. The committee reported specifically there was no foundation for the charge that the Mexican government schemed to make bribe payments of $1,215,000 to four United States Senators Borah, Norris, La Follette and Heflin. It stated that the document published by the Hearst papers reciting this charge “is spurious and fraudulent and, insofar as it purports to be signed by the President of Mexico or the secretary of treasury of Mexico, it is forged.” The brief report cited the undisputed evidence that the documents were obvious fabrications. The committee promised a later and more complete report as soon as it can investigate further its suspicions as to the perpetrator. The report cited that Hearst had testified he “had no evidence, and knew of none, which would tend to show that any Senator had received any such payments, and he testified that he personally did not believe that any Senator had received any.” “He stated that he had instructed his representatives to verify the genuineness of the documents as far as possible.” The report probably will be taken up for debate in the Senate Thursday, although the committee did not recommend any action. buryTTmine victims Coroner’s Jury Investigates Fatal Illinois Blast.

Dooley landed safely on a lawn, but Vonohlen was thrown against a tree with such force that his body was wrappe * about it. Myers was riding with a screwdriver in his pocket, which was thought to have punctured his spine. Later examination revealed that the screw-driver had fallen out when he was thrown. The men were tossed as great distance as fifty feet. The fire truck was in charge of Lieut. Frank Balph, who, with the driver, remained in the front seat and was uninjured. Dr. William O.

WATSON HERE TO CONFER ON CHAIRMAN JOB Senator Still of Belief That Marshall Will Take Berth. EMPHATIC "NO’ IS GIVEN Governor Situation Is Put . in Background, Pending Other Decisions. Still assuming that Henry W. Marshall, Lafayette publisher, will accept the Republican State chairmanship, if elected, Senator James E. Watson returned to Indianapolis today for conferences prefacing Thursday’s State committee meeting. Watson’s atitude on the troublesome chairmanship situation was unchanged, despite repeated declarations from Marshall that he would not accept the post. In a letter to The Times Marshall declared five days ago: “I already have notified members of the Republican State central commitee that under no circumstances would I accept the State chairmanship, even though it be offered.” Emphasized by Marshall His statement was emphasized by an underline in ink, starting significantly with the words, “under no circumstances.” The Senator said he was guided by correspondence which Congressman Will R. Wood had with Marshall, in which the Lafayette man gave the Impression he would not refuse chairmanship overtures. Senator Watson had no comment to make anent the problem of bringing out a Republican candidate for the nomination for Governor acceptable to old line and “new deal” factions of the party. His first gesture in this direction met disappointment, when Frank C. Ball, Muncie manufacturer, accepted the compliment, but emphatically declined the honor. Many After Post

Consideration of the governorship matter had little chance of receiving Watson’s attention until after the State committee meeting, however. Ambitions of a number of the committeemen to succeed Clyde A. Walb of La Grange, whose resignation became effective Tuesday, made pre-arrangement of election plans difficult. Watson said he had the promise of four committeemen that they would support Marshall, but it appeared certain the Senator would have to reconvince them that Marshall would accept. Conferences this afternoon and Thursday morning might alter Watson’s views somewhat, he admitted. Marshall and his family have gone to Florida for a five weeks’ stay. The Senator assumed an attitude of mode t acquiescence when Informed tha' petitions have been circulated in behalf of his filing for the presidential preference vote of the State in the May premaries. He said, however, it was not his intention to file his name during his current visit. Stays at Claypool On his last visit here Watson Indicated his intention of filing. The move is designed to enable him to control the Indiana delegation to the National Republican convention. Senator Watson took “headquarters” at the Claypool. He will return to Washington Saturday night or Sunday morning, he said. His nephew, Ward Watson, and Dr. N. M. King greeted him at the Union Station.

Trans-Atlantic Flier Off on Effort to Hang Up Endurance Record. By United Press CURTISS FIELD, N. Y„ Jan. 11. —A new attempt to regain the world’s endurance flight record for America started here today at 12:13:13. / Clarence D. Chamberlin, noted trans-Atlantic flier, and Roger Williams, a commercial pilot, left Curtiss field, hoping to keep a big Bellanca monoplane in the air for sixty hours. Germany holds the present world endurance record. Two of her aviators, Edward and Risticz, took it from Bert Acosta and Chamberlin last August, when they kept their plane aloft 52 hours, 22 minutes and 31 seconds. If the fliers succeed in their attempt they will not come to earth until late Friday night or early Saturday morning. Cuts Gasoline Load Chamberlin climbed into the cockpit, wearing the same plus fours and other flying togs that he wore on his memorable flight to Germany last summer. Because of the soggy condition of the runway, the Bellanca carried a lighter load of gasoline than had been intended. Chamberlin originally had planned to put 590 gallons into the tanks, but decided at the last moment, to carry only 440 gallons. Chamberlin’s decision to make the flight came unexpectedly. He was not known to be contemplating such attempt until late yesterday, when he announced he would try for the mark within two or three days. Bert Acosta, another trans-At-lantic pilot, and Emil Burgin have been intending to make a similar attempt for the last month in the Fokker monoplane Splitdorf at Roosevelt field, but mechanical trouble and illness on the part of Acosta have caused it to be postponed repeatedly. Plana Air Tour After the flight has been completed, Chamberlin will begin an air tour of the country, lecturing in principal cities and endeavoring to organize flying clubs patterned after those which recently have become so popular in England. His itinerary, he* said, was planned to take him to many of the points which Colonel Charles Lindbergh was unable to visit in his tour in the Spirit of St. Louis last summer. Chamberlin was off in thirtyseven seconds after a 1,500-foot run. He nosed the plane straight toward New York and gained altitude rapidly with aid of a stiff wind. Shortly before the start, the two fliers abandoned a plan to attempt to set a non-stop flight record, in addition to the endurance record on the one flight. They had made plans to fly as far west as Denver and back to New York, believing that mileage would surpass the 3,911mile nonstop record which Chamberlin set on his flight to Germany.

RUTH SNYDER ON VERGE OF COLLAPSE, AS HOUR NEARS FOR HER TRYST WITH DEATH Nerve Begins to Break as Final Thread of Hope Snaps With Refusal of Governor Smith to Grant Clemency. GRAY CALM ON EVE OF HIS DOOM Once Dapper Corset Salesman Probably Will Go First to Chair; Little Chance of Last-Minute Stay of Execution. BY LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Pros Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—Ruth Snyder’s nerve began to go today, on the eve of her execution. In her death cell at Sing Sing prison she moved restlessly, on her couch, while prison officials kept carefully from her the knowledge that Governor Smith had refused clemency and there was little hope. Henry Judd Gray, who will die with her before midnight tomorrow for the murder of her husband Albert, knew about it and was unaffected. Gray had not been informed officially, but the newspapers had reached the men’s death row, where he is kept with others

Bu United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—The full text of Governor Alfred E. Smith’s decision in the case of Mrs. Ruth Snyder and Henry Judd Gray follows: “In the matter of the application for executive clemency for Ruth Brown Snyder and Henry Judd Gray. “This case has received my anxious consideration, not merely since the hearing before me upon the application for executive clemency, but ever since the Court of Appeals unanimously affirmed the conviction of the defendants. “The execution of this judgment on a woman is so distressing that I had-hoped that the appeal to me for executive clemency would disclose some fact that would justify my Interference with the process of the law. But this did not happen. “I have searched in vain for any basis which my conscience, in the light of my oath of office, will approve on which I might temper the law with mercy. “Up to this writing, there is no extenuation shown for what the seven juc “jes of the Court of Appeals, In agreement with the twelve Jurors and the trial justice, have found to be a deliberate and premeditated murder committed by these defendants. “The application for executive clemency therefore is denied.” ALFRED E.

who are to die. The news was kept from the solitary cell where Mrs. Snyder is imprisoned, but she must have suspected. Her air of forced ctmrage, fed by reassuring herself that Smith would grant clemency or that her lawyers would perform one of the legal miracles they have talked about, had disappeared. She .nibbled at the breakfast brought in on a tin prison dish after she had awakened early. Then she went listlessly to her cot. In the death chamber near her cell, the electricity chair had been tested and was waiting. Final arrangements for the execution of prisoners 79891 and 79892, were almost complete. Gray Likely to Die First It had not been announced which would die first, but it was expected to be Gray. He was booked in the prison first. In addition, If either prisoner caused any trouble in the death chamber, It probably would be Mrs. Snyder, and it would be preferable to have the smoothfunctioning execution of Gray out of the way first. In any event, the former lovers will sit down in the same chair only a minute or two apart, but they will not see each other again in this life. When Gray Is led into the room, Mrs. Snyder still will be in her cell, out of sight and hearing. She will be dressed in prison gray, it was announced, and will be accompanied to her death by two prison matrons and the chaplain, who will offer her religious solace and hold a crucifix before her eyes as she is led to the chair and until the current is turned on. No Hope Left There was no idea in Sing Sing that any last-minute moves of the lawyers could stay execution. Edward F. Hazleton, Mrs. Snyders counsel, arranged to confer with his assistants at his office in Jamaica this afternoon. There was some talk of seeking a writ, either in the State Supreme Court or the Federal Court. Samuel L. Miller, counsel for Gray, was not at his office this morning, but it was said he would have a statement this afternoon. Gray’s mother, Mrs. Isabel Gray, visited him again today. She left for lunch and Intended to return, hoping to spend the afternoon with him. The only other visitor to the death house up to noon was Dr. Joseph N. Moore of the Mattewan State Hospital for the Insane. He is a member of the State lunacy commission, which examines condemned persons repeatedly before their execution, to make certain of their sanity. Doctor Is Reticent Dr. Moore refused to say when he left the death house if he had examined both prisoners. The other two members of the commission were expected to examine Mrs. Snyder and Gray later in the day. Miss Agnes McKeman, Salvation Army ensign, who yesterday obtained a court order to visit Mrs. Snyder, appeared at the prison, but did not gain admittance to her cell. Warden Lawes has it within his discretion to refer the order to the State attorney general for approval. ACCEPT 8 HILL JURORS Expect to Fill Box Today for Trial of Matricide.
