MARSHAL HAIG DIES; HERO OF WORLD WAR ' Death Comes Suddenly to Famed English General at His Home. CAREER NOTABLE ONE ' Commanded British Forces in France and Flanders From 1914 to 1919. Picture on Pare 3 BY CLIFFORD L. DAY • United Press Start Correspondent LONDON, Jan. 30.—Field Marshal Earl Haig, commander-in-chief of the British forces in France during the Word War, died suddenly during the night at his London home in Prince's Gate. Death resulted from a heart attack suffered while the famous soldier was preparing for bed. In the house at the time were his brother-in-law, William George Jamieson,and Mrs. Jamieson. Earl Haig had spent the day as usual. Shortly before midnight, he said good-night to Mr. and Mrs. Jamieson and retired to his room. He was sitting on the side of his bed when he collapsed. He was conscious for only a few minutes, but was unable to speak. Death Due to Overstrain Doctors were summoned hurriedly, but he was dead when they; arrived. The physicians attributed his' death to overstrain during the war; and in his work after the armistice.! Thus he died for his country, though nine years after the conclusion of the last of the wars he had gone through. ' Up to the day of his death he had devoted his life to the welfare of the army. But particularly he had worked for the men who served ’ with him in France and Belgium. Earl Haig was 66 years old. He is succeeded as second earl by his son, George Alexander Eugene Douglas Haig, Viscount Dawick. The new carl is 10 years old. He was born in March, 1918, while Earl Haig, with other allied leaders, was planning desperately to stem the final German offensive of the war. King George was his godfather. Whole Empire Mourns The British empire was thrown Into mourning when special editions of afternoon papers appeared on the streets early today announcing the field marshal's death. Earl Haig's death was entirely miexpected. Hale and hearty looking, apparently in spendid health, he was at Richmond, in the suburbs, Saturday, to inspect the Twentieth Richmond Boy Scouts—“ Earl Haig’s own.” He chatted jovially with the boys there, and received the usual ovation—for he was one of a select few allied generals whose prestige, high at the beginning of the war, mounted as the struggle continued to a victorious close. Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig was one of the outstanding figures of the World War. He tvas the commanding officer of the First British Army from 1914 to 1915, commander in chief of the expeditionary forces to France and Flanders from 1915 to 1919, and field marshal and commander in chief of the forces in Great Britain from 1919 to 1920. Co-Operates Loyally Earl Haig—or Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig as he then was—pursued his own course steadily. He made no protest when the command of all allied armies in France and Belgium was turned over, in the interest of efficiency and a single directing head, to Marshal Ferdinand Foch of France. He co-operated loyally with other leaders. In the summer of 1918, when the combined allied and American forces had stemmed the German thrust, he sent his British army through the German lines in Flanders in one of the greatest offensives of history. Sir Douglas Haig became Earl Haig in 1919, when he returned triumphant from the war. In addition to this mark of esteem, he—along with Admiral of the Fleet Earl Beatty—was given a grant of $500,000 by Parliament. He was rated with Marshal Foch, Marshal Petain and General Pershing as among the outstanding military geniuses who contributes to the allied victory over Germany. Always a Soldier Haig always had been a soldier. After graduation from Oxford he joined the Seventh Hussars in 1885. Subsequently he served in various units and in 1904 was made a major general, in 1910 a lieutenant general, and In 1914 a general for distinguished military service. He was made field marshal in 1917. He was chief of staff to India from 1909 to 1912. Earl Haig was many times decorated for deeds of valor. Included among his decorations were the grand cordon of the Legion of Honor, medaille militah-e, grand cross of the Order of Leopold, grand cross of St. Maurice and St. Lazarus. He was married in 1905 to the Hon. Dorothy Vivian, daughter of Lord Vivian. There was one son and three daughters.

ARSON DEATH WAS MURDER, PROBE HINTS Indianapolis Retired Farm Owner Was Shot, Body Burned, Belief. TRACE FAMILY TROUBLE Start Search for Slayer, After Reopening Quiz on Tragedy. John Koetler, 70, of 5124 N. Pennsylvania St., retired farmer, whose charred body was taken from the smoking ruins of a barn on the farm of Albert Schulte, Brookville farmer, Jan. 6, was shot to death before the barn was fired, it was believed today. George Coogan and Harvey See, deputy State fire marshals, have under observation several persons. Body Found in Barn Koetter left his home in Indianapolis the day before he was killed, to visit his untenanted farm, intending to spend the night in the empty farmhouse, the arson division discovered. The body was found in the Schulte bam the next morning. Tire Schulte and Koetler acreages are in close proximity. “Death due to unknown causes,” was the coroner’s verdict. The fire marshal's office was not satisfied with the general theory that the death was accidental. Coogan and See say they found a rag saturated with blood in the kitchen of Koetter's empty house and that four .22-caliber bullets had lodged in an oak door sill. A path of blood led across the door sill and was lost outside, indicating a. bleeding body had been dragged out. One window’ of the house had been jimmied open. All doors were unlocked. Bullets Fit Rifle At the scene of the fire, a .22 calibre rifle and a flashlight were found beside Koetter's body. The bullets that had ploughed into the door of his farmhouse fitted the rifle. Fingerprints discovered on the doors and window glass of the Koetler farm house were not those of the aged farmer, casual examination indicated. The prints were turned over to the State bureau of criminal identification for checking. Then, examining Koetter’s home life, the investigators learned he had been in trouble with a man he believed to be the father of his daughter’s child, who refused to marry her. Called Case of Murder “The evidence and data obtained in this case will be turned over to Franklin County authorities,” State Fire Marshal Alfred Hogston said today. “This is a case of murder, not arson, and goes outside this department’s jurisdiction.” The next move is expected to come from Franklin County authorities, who were at the scene of the alleged crime until midnight, gathering evidence.

INDIANAPOLIS, MONDAY, JAN. 30, 1928

Infirmary Head Denounced for Buying Supply at Higher Price. Discovery that the county infirmary superintendent paid sl.lO a bushel for corn last fall when it was selling for 80 to 90 cents drew fire from county councilmen today. The councilmen warned superintendents of county institutions to “stand on their own feet,” and one remarked there had been “shady dealings and loose business.” Superintendent John B. Carter of the infirmary said he bought 400 bushels of corn at the higher price because he could not obtain it from William Garteh of the Garten Feed Company, which had a contract to supply the feed. Denies Telling of Lack Carter made an affidavit that Garten could not supply the corn. Then Carter bought the corn at the high figure from Phillip Fox, Pike Township, a former assistant county road superintendent. Garten, called before councilmen by a deputy sheriff, said he had not told the superintendent he could not supply the corn. Councilman John Shearer said: "The price on hand-picked com at that time was 80 to 90 cents a bushel and sl.lO was paid. Not only are there what seem to be shady dealings in com buying, but .in some other things. \ “This certainly looks like loose business to me.” Garten told councilmen he was surprised when $42 was taken out of his account with the county last fall. Another "Misunderstanding” It was explained this was levied against the company because he did not keep the contract and this was the difference in the contract cost and the price paid. Commissioners said they knew nothing about the transaction, although Carter said he acted after! talking to the commission and having "an understanding.” “The responsibility rests with the commissioners, who should have told Garten to fill the contract,” President George Montgomery said. “The council suggests that county superintendents have their own reputations and integrities at stake and if they lorget it they will run up against a stone wall.” Councilnan Paul Dunn said. “They'd better not depend on commissioners but stand on their own feet.” The council allowed $3,267.34 for poor farm supplies after the wrangle and cut out an appropriation of $339.61 for increase of the salary of assistant to the county school superintendent, and $283.20 in addition to S7BO for paying political probe expenses.

Slain! How? The “Canary,” beautiful Broadway butterfly, was found strangled by fiendish hands. There were two means of escape for the murderer, one put a telephone operator and tire other through a side door. No one passed the switchboard and the door was bolted. Police were baffled. But Philo Vance, a friend of the district attorney, had some clever theories. The murderer went through the bolted door. But how? Turn to the last page and read “The Canary Murder Case,” by S. S. Van Dine, dean of murder mystery writers. It’s not too late to start.

The flier gracefully accepted the tribute. , He was taken along a rose-strewn pathway into the city proper. Many beautiful girls were along the avenue on which Lindbergh rode and they tossed flowers in front of the motor car. Welcome Is Deafening There were scores of people on the street and the din of their welcoming shouts was deafening. This was to be Lindbergh's last visit in South America on the present trip.

At 1 this afternoon funeral services for the man killed by a hit and run motorist last Wednesday were held at the home of a neighbor, George Parker, 2942 Schofield Ave., and the body started on its way to Fairmount, W. Va„ for burial. A brother-in-law and a sister, Mr. and Mrs. Francis Kinney, accompanied the body. Meanwhile, the young, bewildered widow, remained at city hospital with her baby. Doctors feared she would not be able to stand the ordeal of the funeral. Shirley Brothers, undertakers, had offered to take the wife to the funeral in an ambulance without charge. City Rushes to Aid But the bitterness of the girl’s bereavement was softened by the news that kind-hearted Indianapolis folks have hastened to come to her financial relief.

‘FOX’ LOSES NEW MOVE TO BLOCK TRIAL Dramatic Plea for Plan to Appoint Alienists Made by Attorney. RESUME JURY CHOICE Defense Loses Fight to Go to Trial With Twelve Already in Box. BY DAN CAMPBELL. United Press Staff Correspondent COURTROOM, LOS ANGELES. Cal., Jan. 30.—The defense made another unexpected move today to halt the trial of, William Edward Hickman. The move was a motion to have the American Psychiatrists Association appoint alienists to examine Hickman, whose only hope of escaping the gallows for the murder of Marion Parker, lies in proving himself insane. The motion was overruled by Judge J. J. Trabucco. Jerome Walsh, young Kansas City attorney, who is directing the defense for Hickman, then stepped onto the witness stand, in a sensational move to have the action made a matter of court record. Walsh was permitted to take the oath. He testified that Hickman was without funds and could not hope to cope with the alienists employed by the State. Spends Own Money "This is an unequal battle,” Walsh said. “On one side we have tire wealth of the State of California and on the other a penniless youth fighting for his life. “The defense can hope to obtain the service of alienists that will give it an equal chance with the State only if members of the American Psychiatrists Association are appointed to serve without pay.” Walsh testified that he had spent S6OO of his own money m arranging for Hickman's defense and indicated that he did not expect to get one penny as a fee. He said a fund for Hickman's defense had been raised in Kansas City, but did not reveal the amount Walsh was nervous and red faced. Seek Twelfth Juror In denying the motion without prejudice, Judge Trabucco said such a move would halt the trial. He said it would be possible for the alienists to make an examination of Hickman that would be a fair test of his sanity or insanity only when he was not subject to the daily strain of a courtroom appearance. The State won the right to proceed further with the selection of a jury when Judson Burch, one of those in the jury box, told the court he had a relative in the sheriff's office. The defense attempted to keep Burch in the box, but Judge Trabucco excused him for cause. Mrs. Mary Amick was called hi the place left vacant by Burch and examination of the panel continued. Hockensmith, a scholarly looking professor, was challenged by the State when the question of his health became a matter of dispute. The State used its fifth peremptory challenge to remove Hockensmith. He was followed by Mrs. Mary Crawford, who was excused when she said she unalterably was opposed to capital punishment. Mrs. Margarget Dyche was then called. LEGION SYMPATHY SENT Spafford Cables Condolence to Family of Marshal Haig. A cablegram expressing the grief of the American Legion over the death of Field Marshal Earl Haig was sent today by Edward E. Spafford, national commander, to the headquarters of the British Legion in London. A cablegram of sympathy also was sent to Lady Haig. The message: “The American Legion Indescribably shocked at news of death of Field Marshal Earl Haig.
