HICKMAN UNDER SUSPICION OF THIRDMURDER Slayer Defiant in Cell, Balking Examination by Alienists. B.u United Press LOS ANGELES, Jan. 11.—While detectives sought to add a third murder to his crime record, Edward Hickman remained defiant in his cell today. Already charged with the murders of 12-year-old Marion Parker and .Ivy Thoms, a druggist, Hickman may be connected w r ith the hold-up and slaying of a man named Miles. At the trial of Harvey Lesher, Phil Roban and Mike Garvey, charged with the crime, Roberta Scriver, a witness, testified the bandit who killed Miles “resembled Hickman more than any of the three men on trial here.” Armed with this information, detectives attempted to determine whether Hickman had any connection with the murder. Meanwhile, Hickman maintained the defiant attitude he adopted yesterday when four alienists sought to test his sanity. The alienists—Drs. E. H. Williams, Victor Parkin, P. M. Bowers and Benjamin Blank—attempted to apply “sanity devices” to Hickman in a darkened cell. He resisted so stubbornly that the alienists were forced to abandon their instrument work and resort to questioning. They said he fought and scratched “like an animal,” later they reported their finding to the district attorney’s office. The report was not made publiic,

KONJOLA BROUGHT AMAZING RELIEF TO MAN AND WIFE “Can Walk Without Cane,” Says Mr. Bax- , ter; Wife Also Restored to Health. In every section of Indianapolis there are dozens of homes where Konjola has restored somebody’s health. This new medicine has received over a thousand indorsements from people right in this city. ,A never-ending stream of letters Wo received by The Konjola Man

MR. and MRS. L. N. BAXTER at Hook’s Drug Store, Illinois and Washington Sts., where large crowds continue to visit him daily. These crowds are mostly men and women, who are suffering from stomach, liver, kidney and bowel troubles, and rheumatism or neuritis. Among the thousands already benefited by Konjola, none is better known than Mr. and Mrs. L. N. Baxter, 1928 Valley Ave., Indianapolis. Mr. Baxter’s statement reads as follows: “I am a man of 78, and I have suffered with rheumatism for years. Sometimes I was laid up entirely, and when I did walk I had to use a cane. My joints were stiff and achy and the pains were terrible. My stomach also gave me a lot of trouble, and I suffered with headaches. This Konjola not only ended my stomach trouble and the headaches, but it cleared all the poisons from my system and now I am entirely free of all the aches and pains of rheumatism. I can walk without a cane. I hardly know what to make of it. This medicine has helped me in many other ways. I don’t have dizzy spells like I used to and I sleep good. I will be glad to tell anyone about your new remedy.” The statement of Mrs. Baxter reads as follows: .‘‘Konjola is the ffrst medicine that really ended my stomach and kidney trouble. I was suffering from the worst kind of indigestion pains. Every bite of food would hurt me. My kidneys were so weak that I had to get up 6 and 7 times a night. I had pains in my back and was dreadfully nervous at all times. That was my condition, but now I am feeling like I never had a sick day in my life, and I owe it all to Konjola. My food agrees with me and my nerves are stronger and I never have any trouble with my kidneys. The night rising is ended, and I don’t have back-aches like I used to. I think it is wonderful to find such a medicine as Konjola, and I want to indorse it.” The Konjola Man is at the Hook Drug Store, Illinois fc Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola is sold by every Hook store in this city and by all druggists throughout this section. —Advertisement.

but it was believed it expressed the opinion that Hickman was sane. It was regarded as likely today that Welby Hunt, accused as Hickman’s accomplice in the Thoms murder, would testify against Hickman. Hunt pleaded not guilty yesterday, and asked for a separate trial. Argument on his request was set for Friday. Meanwhile, club women of Los Angeles indicated they would demand the death penalty for Hickman. A resolution asking that the extreme penalty be enforced was adopted by the Cosmos Club, a prominent woman’s organization. This resolution opened what was declared to be a State-wide movement among women’s organizations to ask for the extreme penalty. A similar resolution was to be submitted to the president’s council of the District Federation of Woman’s Clubs, meeting in Pasadena tomorrow, it was said. If the resolution is passed, It would have the indorsement of 40,000 club women in southern California. MAIL CARRIERS ELECT L. D. Wadsworth Is New President of City Postal Group. L. D.

LUCAS LETS HIS GUITAR GET HOT The Crooning Troubadour’ Makes a Classic Out of a New Tune Called 'Among My.Souvenirs’ as Well as Another One, 'Blue Heaven.’ BY VALTER D. HICKMAN There is anew t v out that has caught my fancy and its name is “Among My Souvenirs.” The melody is as good as the lyrics and when Nick Lucas makes it warm on his guitar, well things are just too good for words.

Each season brings out its crop of popular hits but this song done in a sort of a sentimental ballad style is destined to be one of the leading hits of this season. “Among My Souvenirs” has been blessed with a certain sentiment in its lyrics that raises it above the mine run crop of songs. Lucas on his new Brunswick release makes a classic out of this one as well as “Blue Heaven.” You know by this time that this “Heaven” number is a national favorite. People are playing it on the phonograph, hearing it one the air and are applauding it in theaters. Lucas brings out all of the intimate beauty of these two numbers. They suit hs style, making this record easily one of the best and sweetest records that he has made for a long time. As I told you some time ago that Indianapolis song writers and orchestral directors are getting a national reputation. Gennet’; has just released a number of new orchestral records made by Emil Seidel and his orchestra now at the Apollo. The latest Seidel record to reach my desk is “The Song Is Ended But the Melody Lingers on.” At times this number takes on a sort of a negro spiritual quality. The melody comes under the head of charming. On the other side “For My Baby” with vocal chorus and trio. Both numbers are done in Seidel’s own style or arrangement. He should not pass up the opportunity of giving his piano full opportunity in such numbers. Along the ballad type, Noel Taylor has a winner in his new Okeh release, containing “Girl of My Dreams” and “The Beggar.” The dream number brings in the guitar and euke effect with pleasing charm. The voice is excellent in both numbers. Good string work in “The Beggar” number. In speaking of string music along the Hawaiian type. Okeh has a delightful one in “Hawaiian Yodel” and “Medley of Hulas” as done by the Kalamas quartet. Here is soothing melody that quiets one and just the thing to play as you sit around your fireplace at night. Splendidly recorded. Many people have asked me to recommend one of Isa Kramer’s records. On my special request Brunswick sent me some of her latest records. You recall that this woman made a great hit on Vitaphone and was a sensation in person at the Palace in New York. I take pleasure in recommending Miss Kramer’s VGlos Seredeczny,” (Voice of th< Heart), and “Trezej Ptaszkowie,” or “Three Birds,” its English title. To me she is the greatest of the singers of Russian folk music. Her voice registers in all of its purity beauty on this record just like she were in your own home. Indianapolis theaters today offer: 1 Ben Barton and his orchestra at the Lyric; “Abie’s Irish Rose,” at the

From radiator to tail light it is a smarter, more beautiful car than even the Essex which preceded it And in performance it surpasses in smoothness, reliability, speed and ease of handling, the standard Essex owners are so proua to acclaim.

The bodies arc not only new and roomier but are so designed as to give a lasting, solid, rigid service. The roof is flatter—the car is bigger in fact and in appearance. Door fittings, hinges and locks arc impressively substantial and lastingly beautiful. The world’s largest sale of six-cylinder cars became an Essex achievement solely because of merit.
