AS COMPANION OF 9M HR 'Car Seen at Curb Moment Before Case Proprietor Shot Down Bandit. VICTIM IS IDENTIFIED I Stepfather Gives Name of Robber to Police and Tells History. A woman may have accoinpanied Harry Rapp, 35, the bandit shot to death in a hold-up Thursday night and not identified until today, according to a theory being ivestigated by police. They learned that Rapp owned a Chevrolet sedan and Sthe car has not been found. Wallace Sims, 731 Terrace Ave., Butler University student, reported that he passed the scene of the shooting shortly before it occurred and saw a Chevrolet sedan, with the window glass in the rear broken, parked at the curb. A man and a woman were in the front seat. Police believe that the woman may have been waiting for Rapp and fled with the car when the shots were fired. Rapp was brought down with a shotgun by George O. McCammon. 42, after he had held up McCammon’s restaurant, 1934 Prospect St. McCammon was booked on a technical charge of manslaughter, awaiting final report on the case from Coroner C. H. Keever. Body Is Identified Jacob Wyttenbach of 1306 N. Oxford St., was the first to identify the bandit's body at city morgue today. He said the man was his step-son and lived at 127 N. Noble St., but that was denied by Mr. and Mrs. Richard Johnson of that address. He had not lived with Wyttenbach since the death of Mrs. Myttenbach, the dead bandit’s mother, about a year ago. Police learned that he was a World War veteran and twice married. His first wife, Inez, from whom he was divorced four years ago, lives at 340 Shelby St. The other wife, according to Mrs. Johnson, who knew the Rapp family since they lived next door many years ago, is in Florence, Kan., where she was married to Rapp. Returned to Settle Estate He had returned here from Denver and Kansas to settle and estate of his grandmother, Mrs. Syerdam Rapp, Shelbyville, Ind., police learned. Wyttenbach, who Is in the steam service department of the Indianapblis Power and Light Company, said that Rapp asked to borrow $5 from him a few weeks ago. Later, Fred Hier, who runs a hotel at 14 S. New Jersey St., told Wyttenbach that Rapp had been there with a big roll of bills. It was this story and the description of the unidentified bandit that caused the stepfather to go to the morgue this morning, he said. Congratulate McCammon Police congratulated McCammon when they were called to investigate the case Thursday night. The bandit is the third killed in two weeks, they said. One other remained unidentified for some time. McCammon was standing at the cash register in his restaurant at the Prospect St. address when the bandit entered, at about 10:30 p. m. There were two customers, whom McCammon knew, in the place at the time. Asked what he wanted, the bandit said, “Only a drink of water.’’ He drank it and went out, but returned again near midnight McCammon then was counting the day’s receipts and preparing to retire. His wife was by his side. All customers had gone. The bandit approached drew a gun and demanded he throw up his hands. He was but a foot or two from Mrs. McCammon, but she stepped back through a rear door, where their 9-year-old son, James, was in bed asleep. His mother aroused him and put him into a corner to shield him from possible gun-fire. Ordered Into Back Room The bandit ordered McCammon into the hack room and said: “Don’t you dare leave by the back door, either.” He then rifled the register, taking $23 and a check. The money and check were in his pocket. This done, he refused to leave, but started for the back room, gun in hand. McCammon heard him coming. He reached for an automatic shotgun. The bandit opened the door and McCammon fired first. One shot went wild. He fired again. It struck the bandits gun arm and blew the handle off the pistol, wounding him severly. He turned and fled. While McCammon stood trembling from this encounter, the bandit returned. Thinking he had a confederate outside, who had insisted that he return and kill the McCammons, the restaurant proprietor fired again. The shot struck the bandit full force on the head, Chest and neck. He staggered through the doorway and fell dead oo the sidewalk.

SALLOWS STAY FOR GANG CZAR Birger, Doomed to Noose, Faces Sanity Test. Bn United I’rcss BENTON. 111., April 13.—Charlie Birger, southern Illinois gang lord, has escaped, for four days at least, the gallows, on which he was to have been hanged this morning. The Franklin County Circuit Court last night granted a four-day stay of execution to permit a hearing on Birger’s sanity. Birger’s attorneys said If the court found Birger sane, there still would remain a chance of appeal from the decision. Final preparations had been made by Sheriff Ben Pritchard for Birger’s execution, which was to have been the last hanging in Illinois. A recent law provides electrocution as the death penalty. The condemned gangster witnessed the final preparations of the gallows from the window of his death cell. “I wish I had a gallon of ‘soup’ (nitro-glycerin), to take you all to hell with me,” he shouted at the workmen.

U. S. CASE RESTED IN SINCLAIR TRIAL
By United Press WASHINGTON, April 13.—The Government today concluded its conspiracy case against Harry F. Sinclair, lessee of Teapot Dome, except for two important bits of evidence on which rulings will be announced Monday. “The Government rests,” Owen J. Roberts, chief Government prosecutor, told the court and jury. The trial was in its fifth day. It took one day to pick the jury and a little more than three days to present the Government’s case. After the Sinclair case adjourned, Justice Bailey dismissed the bribery charge against E. L. Doheny, Jr. This will enable him to testify Monday if the judge decides his testimony is admissible. The judge, while nolle prossing the bribery indictment of young Doheny, left it still in effect against the elder Doheny, on motion of the Government.

MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, April 13.—The McNary-Haugen farm bill was sent to the House to£ay with notice from the Senate that it probably could be passed there over a presidential veto if that contingency arose.

WIZARD EVANS IS TARGET AT KLUXERTRIAL Head of Klan Is Surprise Witness at Hearing in Pittsburgh. DENIES ALL CHARGES Admits He Was at Carnegie During Riot and Might Have Stopped It. Bit United Press PITTSBURGH, Pa.. April 13. Hiram W. Evans, imperial wizard of the Ku-Klux Klan, faced a gruelling cross-examination in Federal Court today in the suit of the Klan against five “rebel” members. The cross-questioning was done by Van A. Barrickman, of the defendants and counsel in the trial in which the Klan is seeking damages and a restraining injunction. Evans was called by B. H. Connaughton, Klan counsel, as a surprise witness of the day, when the Klan resumed its rebuttal testimony. Enters Blanket Denial Connaughton endeavored to use Evans as a direct rebuttal witness against all the derogatory testimony which the defendants had used against the Klan. The imperial wizard entered a blanket denial to every charge of unlawfulness, including murder, floggings, burnings at the stake, beribings and rioting. Barrickman fought hard with the witness under cross-examination. The pointed feature of the Evans’ testimony was his answer to Barrickman’s question. “Dr. Evans, you were at Carnegie, Pa., Aug. 25. 1923, and could have stopped the parade that resulted in murder, riot and* blo^^shed?” “Oh, I suppose I could have,” Evans replied. Denies Tar Parties The imperial wizard denied that men were ever burned, flogged or tarred and feathered by the Klan. He further stated the organization would not tolerate such action. Evans continued his denial of every statement previously made by defense witnesses that a band of riders existed within the Klan. He refuted the statements that an organization of that nature took part in any official acts of the Klan. “Were you at Buckeye Lake, Ohio, when the,Klan held a meeting there?” “I was,” replied Evans. “Did you not shake hands with the leader of this gang of murdering night riders as he approached you on the speakers’ platform?” “I did,” was Evans answer. Then he continued: “They offered me their services, but I refused to have anything to do with them.” Then Barrickman began his crossexamination in earnest. “Are you not the head of a military organization of which you are the commander in chief?” “No, I am not, but I am the head of a patriotic organization that is military in nature,” came from Evans. Evans’ memory did not serve him ! well on several points brought before him by Barrickman, to which Barrickman remarked: “You have a rather convenient memory, Dr. Evans.” Scoffs at Charge Barrickman then wanted to know If Evans ever made a speech where he stated that if the Klan did not take things in hand, the pope “would be over here running things.” “Emphatically no,” said Evans. The cross-examination of the imperial wizard was over when Judge W. S. Thomson objected to further delay in the case. Then very dramatically Evans asked the judge if he could make a statement. The court refused the request and Evans left the stand as Barrickman remarked, “That man makes too many statements for the good of the country.” SIGN MINE WAGE PACT Eleven Illinois Coal Operators Agree on Jacksonville Scale.

REPORTS OF SIGHTING PUNE OFF ATLANTIC COAST REVIVE HOPE FOR GERMANS’ SAFETY Machine Thought to Be Bremen Flying High 600 Miles From New York, Radio From Ship Captain Says. SKY CLCfUDLESS; VISIBILITY GOOD If Rumors Prove True, Aviators Should Reach New York by 4:30 This Afternoon; Welcome Plans Made. Bu United Press KINGSPORT, N. S., April 13. —Captain Moorehouse of the Canadian government steamer Arras reported today that he had sighted an airplane which he believed to be the Bremen, flying over Kingsport at 10:30 a. m., Atlantic standard time (9 a. m. Eastern standard time.) ~byYiaurice~mermey United Press Uff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 13.—A Nation that waited anxiously for the German airplane Bremen to touch American soil had received no definite word concerning its fate up till noon today —thirty-five and a half hours after it left Dublin. Fast waning hopes were partially revived by a report tlffit Captain Moorehouse of the Canadian government steamer Arras, and other persons, had seen a plane believed to be the Bremen over Kingsport, Nova Scotia, some 600 miles from New York. Several residents of Brock tson, Mass., sighted an airplane, flying exceptionally high at 12:55 p. m. today, according to a report received by the Brockton Enterprise. The plane, described as “a mere speck in the sky,” was reported traveling in
a southwesterly direction. Favorable flying weather pre-1 vailed along the New England i coast today. It was clear, calm and rather warm. A light west wind. Visibility is excellent. Captain Moorehouse said the plane was flying so high that he could not distinguish its markings j but that he could hear its motor! distinctly and he believed he saw several persons on board. The Commercial Cable Company at 12:30 p. m. today ieceivcd a report from Its station at Canso, N. S., saying that a report had been received there to the effect that the Bremen had passed over Mines Basin at 11:55 a. m. If the report were true—and there was little belief in it —then j Capt. Herman Koehl, Baron Ehrenfried Von Huenefeld and Col. aames E. Fitzmaurice, Commandant cf the Irish Free State air force, had done what never before had been accomplished—a flight in a heavier than air machine from the eastern to the western hemisphere across the Atlantic ocean and its terrific head j winds. On the basis of the Kingsport report the Junkers plane should arrive at Mitchel Field, L. 1., about 4:30 p. m. (Eastern Standard Time). An entirely unconfirmed radio report, intercepted by the coast guard radio station at Nahant, Mass., this j morning, said that a plane believed j to be the Bremen, was sighted “off Newfoundland” at 5:30 a. m. Eastern Standard Time today. According to the Nahant station, the message was sent from a ship at sea. Word from the Boston Navy Yard was that the same message had been intercepted there but naval officials also appeared to place little faith in it. Gales Sweep Newfoundland There was a report at 8:30 p. m. Thursday that an airplane had been heard in the vicinity of Shoal Harbor, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland. The watchers said they did not see the plane because of overcast skies. It was considered most improbable this could have been the Bremen for it would have put the plane across the Atlantic at least four hours ahead of a schedule it could not have maintained because of head winds In mid-Atlantic. If the two Germans and the laughing Irishman held to their pre-arranged schedule of following the Great Circle course, they should have touched Newfoundland about midnight. But at 6 a. m. they had not been sighted. There was a possibility that the fliers were thrown off their course by adverse winds. Southeasterly gales accompanied by rain have swept the Newfoundland coast since early morning. A fog made visibility poor. Failure to sight the plane over Newfoundland or over the Atlantic, where more than a score of ships were traveling the Great Circle route, did not mean that the transAtlantic venture has ended in the tragedy which marked three other flights and sent five men and two women to tneir graves. One course Captain Koehl considered, if head winds buffeted the Bremen over the Atlantic, would have taken the plane 250 miles off the Newfoundland coast. If this course was followed, it was unlikely the plane would be seen or heard from until it was well down the United States coast sometime this morning or early afternoon. The plane carried 660 gallons of gasoline, enough to keep it aloft for forty-five hours. Should the Bremen be forced

There were possibly 200 ships scattered over the Great Circle course. Among these were the Majestic, the Mauretania, the Albert Baffin, Cleveland, Veendam, Cedric, Minnewaska, Muenchen, Stockholm and Laurentic. On board each a careful watch was being made for a sight of the airplane. Experts believed the three flyers were risking their lives in a hopeless gamble. It was recalled that in the last year seven persons lost their lives in a challenge of the westward course. Koehl and Huenfeld had to turn back once last summer. Even in Germany there was criticism. Only one newspaper failed to criticise the attempt as almost foolhardy. Knew They Tempted Fate The fliers themselves realized they were tempting the fates. Fitzmaurice and Koehl, both Catholics, went to confession before the takeoff. Then Fitzmaurice left this message: “I hope that my presence in the Bremen’s crew will bring honor to Ireland and act as stimulus to Irish ‘ aviation. God willing, we shall reach New York and claim the conquest of the western crossing of the Atlantic by air.” Von Huenfeld left this message to the Irish people: “May God. into whose omnipotent hand we place the success of our enterprise, fulfill for this island and its people, with their inspiring history, our grateful prayer for their happy future.” Welcome Is Prepared MITCHEL FIELD. L. 1., April 13. —A welcoming convoy of airplanes, including the only Junkers plane in America, was wheeled out on Mitchel Field today prepared to take-off to meet the German plane, Bremen, should it safely complete its flight. The Junkers plane will carry Fraulein Herta Junkers, daughter of Hugo Junker, the builder of the Bremen, when and If It starts on Its welcoming mission. Fred Melchoir will serve as co-pilot with Fraulein Junker.
