SCORES CONGRATULATE‘GOVERNOR ON HIS ACQUITTAL

FRIENDS FLOGK TO STATEHOUSE FOR ‘RECEPTION’ Tipton County Delegation Here to Praise Its Native Son. WIPE GREETS VISITORS ‘Best Executive State Has Had in 25 Years,’ One Tribute. Governor Ed Jackson, who Thursday sat in the prisoner’s box at the courthouse, today was in his office at the Statehouse, receiving congratulations upon his acquittal. Friends and political acquaintances crowded into the office to grasp the hand of Indiana’s chief executive and congratulate him on his victory. The affair took on the aspect of a reception, with the Governor and Mrs. Jackson in the receiving line. Those who came were mostly from the Statehouse, but there also was a delegation from his native Tipton County. This was headed by Frank E. and Z. A. Watson, R. G. and R. E. Foster, who were schoolmates of the Governor in his boyhood days in -Normandy, Ind. Frank Wilson was spokesman for the party and expressed his open admiration for Tipton County’s “great man.” Given Start by Religion. “I’ll tell you,” Wilson addressed the Statehouse reporters. “Jackson never amounted to much until he got religion. He was just a big barefooted country boy. “I remember when he got converted. He was about twenty then and he was baptized down at the river, having been moved by the preaching of an evangelist at a revival we were having there. “Right after he got religion, he began taking an interest in public affairs. Before long he was practicing law at Newcastle and later was prosecutor and judge. Then he was Secretary, of State, a major in the World War, and now our Governor.” Henry Roberts, State sales agent, made the rounds of the various departments and urged attendance at the reception. Dozens filed in, the list including State Representative .Samuel Farrell, of the State budget committee; State Representative Albert J. Wedeking, appointed to the State highway commission by Jackon; State Auditor L. S. Bowman, J. M. Wood of the industrial board; Adjutant General William H. Kershner, E. J. Barker, State agriculture board secretary; George W. Simms, Terre Haute; and Zell Swain, employed in the insurance department. Governor Is Praised Bowman made a speech congratulating the Governor on his “splendid administration, the best in 25 years.” Jackson responded by saying he was sorry the trial didn't proceed and prove his entire innocence, that he was overruled in this wish by his lawyers, that his codefendants, Robert I. Marsh and George V. Coffin, are also innocent. “I always have tried to conduct my life and affairs in a gentlemanly manner,” he declared. “I want to thank all of you for your loyalty to me during this attack of vicious propaganda.” The Governor would introduce his wife by saying. “This is my little pal,” and many of those who shook hands said, “God bless you.” COUNCILMAN GRATEFUL % Bartholomew Expresses Thanks for Kindness at Son’s Rites.

MANY HERE END COLDS WAY DOCTORS ADVISE

Find Hospital Tested Method Quick, Pleasant and Inexpensive for Heme Use Head colds, coughs and chest colds can be ended quickly—often in a few hours—by a method doctors now advise which vast numbers of Indianapolis people, like M. B. Ellis, have found to be ideal for home use. Mr. Ellis, for example, caught cold several days ago while riding in an open Car. He paid little attention to it until two mornings later, when his eyes became inflamed and his nose was stopped up. Then, when a feeling of tightness across his chest caused fear of pneumonia, he called the clinic for expert advice. Relief began quickly when doctors gave him Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral—a concentrated mixture of wild cherry, terpin-hydrate and other ingredients which relieved even the most extreme hospital cases. With first pleasant swallow he felt the comforting, healing warmth from his nose passages deep down, in to his bronchial tubes. By lunch time his nose and chest had cleared up considerably. That night he could breathe freely and coughed only once or twice, and in a day or so, doctors report, he was completely rid-of the oUb-~

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CANADA'S EYES TURN ON GIRL. WAITING DEATH American Slayer and Mate Doomed to Pay by Noose Mar:’' 23. Bu XFA Service MONTREAL. Quebec, Feb. 17. The fervid public attention which centered on Ruth Snyder in Sing Sing prison. New’ York, a short time ago, centers today on a 21-year-old American girl, Doris McDonald, in the women's jail here. Doris McDonald is waiting dawn of March 23, when, with her husband, George McDonald, she is to be hanged for the murder of a taxi driver. There is no hope for the husband. It is generally believed that there is little, if any, for the girl. Only a reprieve from Viscount Willlngdon, Governor General of Canada, can save her. She Docsn t Care Doris McDonald, who uccd to boast that she was “tough,” but who now is moody and acquiescent, doesn't care. From day to day she sits in her cell and mourns—not for herself, but for her husband. “If George dies, I want to die too,” she has told her guardians time and again. "I don’t want to him. If he swings, let me swing too.” The couple arrived in Montreal on July 15 last year. A man giving the name of Fred Palmer accompanied them. They were check forgers and confidence tricksters, but murder wasn't in their line—then. McDonald posed as a commander in the U. S. Navy. When they disappeared two days later, they left behind a trail of unpaid bills and false notes. They left in a Packard car driven by Odelard Bouchard, French Canadian, who lived with his wife and eight children at Lachine, a few miles from Montreal. Bouchard never was seen alive again. That same night, Sunday, July 17, the trio arrived in the Packard at the Trout River Immigration Post on the Vermont border. Palmer posed as Mrs. McDonald's husband, while McDonald posed as Bouchard. Barred at Border But Palmer and Mrs. McDonald named different towns when asked where they were married. McDonald signed the name of Bouchard as “Bourgert.” Mrs. McDonald was dressed in a chemise with a rug for a skirt. They w’ere refused admission to the States and returned to Montreal, w’herc they abandone# the car. The next day Bouchard's body was found. He had been shot twice and thrown face downward in a watery ditch to die. His money. S2OO, was stolen. * Nearby was found a woman’s slip, skirt, hat, shoes and stockings, some of them spattered with blood. They later were identified as Doris McDonald's^ For six weeks the McDonalds dropped completely out of sight. Then they were arrested in Butte, Mont., under the name of Carter, for pass.ng false checks. A revolver they had was of the same calibre as the bullets found in Bouchard's body. They were extradited to Canada and trial commenced Dec. 6 in the little country town of Valleyfield. Palmer, their companion, never was found. The evidence against them was so convincing that they did not even offer a defense, save for a mercy plea by their lawyer, R. L. Calder, K. C„ Canada’s most famous criminal counsel. ELEVATORS LIFT AGAIN Thursday was a red letter day for courthouse employes. Governor Jackson was freed In Criminal Court, but that was a minor matter compared to the big news of the day. Both the new elevators were tn service. For the first time in months employes got an even break with time w’hen they waited for the lifts. Heretofore service has been so interrupted that many used the stairways.

SOCIETY NIGHT WILL FEATURE MOTOR SHOW Formal Clothes and Smart Cars Promise Irresistible Appeal. A touch of formality and glitter will be added to the Auto Show tonight when salesmen appear in evening attire. The occasion is Society night, and while tuxedos are required on this night only, they might well have been used throughout the show to correspond with the elegance of the motor cars. Prospective buyers will show unusual strength of mind if they can resist the double urge of the well-dressed salesman and the well-made car. A record crowd filled the great hall Thursday evening and many were emphatic in acclaiming this year’s show far in advance of any preceding one from every stand-* point. The most lavish and perhaps the most flattering praise lias conje from factory representatives from all parts of the country. John Orman, show manager, and other members of the Indianapolis auto Trade Association, are showing evidence of overwhelming pride in having put across a show that hits the peak of beauty and completeness and is declared easily comparable to the high-powered national shows at Chicago and New York. While a comparatively small amount of actual selling takes place at any show all dealers report a higher degree of interest than ever before shown on the pari of motor enthusiasts. The noticeable price reductions on almost every car, the efficiency and beauty of the models in every price field succeed in whetting an appetite for possession that need not go unsatisfied. Decreasing value of used cars is not regarded as a serious drawback and the obvious advantages to the auto buyer in seeing the display of thirty-seven models under one roof is expected to bring a veritable flood of business following the close of the show. Since crowds have increased rather than tapered off as the annual event nears its close, a throng is expected Saturday, which marks the final day and has been desigpated by the committee as Everybodys Day.
