pBE’S FUTURE "HINGING UPON FATE Life of 2-Year-Old to Be Based on Sanity of Accused Mother. Bn United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 14.—The fate of baby Betty Ann Zalis rested today on the result of a sanity examina tion of her 21-year-old mother, Mrs. Catherine Zalis, who is on trial for the murder of her second child. Betty Ann, 2 months old, is the center of interest at her mother's trial, because court must be recessed every time she wants to eat. Judge Thomas Lynch, before whom the case is being heard, heeds the instructions of a nurse every two hours and permits Mrs. Zalis to retire to nurse the child. Dr. Francis J. Gerty, alienist, has testified that Mrs. Zalis was insane at the time she smothered and burned the body of her second baby. Prosecution and defense have agreed to a sanity hearing, scheduled for today. If Mrs. Zalis is found to have been insane at the time of the murder and to be sane now, it is probable the jury will heed the results of the examination and free the mother. If, however, she is found to be insane now, and indefinite term in an asylum seems probable. In event of the first verdict Betty Ann will go to the squalor of the Zalis home, something she hasn’t known for she was born in the jail hospital after the mother was arrested. Should Mrs. Zalis be sent to an asylum, chances appear bright for Bety Ann to be adopted by the fashionable Chicago Junion League with a comfortable home until she grows up and can make her own way. Besides an incoherent confession and a fragment of pedvic bone, the state has little evidence that Mr. Zalis actually killed the second child of her three. Stooped by drudgery and worn from bearing three children in an many years, Mrs. Zalis testified that her husband had not worked much and failed to provide even necessities for the family. Several witnesses said the husAdam, spent much of his +-• - nrontwng hypnotism he had learned from a correspondence school. ? ' v, as employed an attorney to p v t his name at the trial.

STATE CHIEFS ORDER NATIONAL ROADJILEARED 80-Foot Right-of-Way to 3e Enforced Across Indiana. National Road (U. S. 40) is to have an eighty-foot right-of-way all the way across the state, John D. Williams, director of the state highway department announced today. It will mean widening the road bed In numerous places and forcing off trespassers who remain within the eighty-foot territory between property fence lines, he declared. ‘‘This procedure is necessary to increase the safety of motor traffic on this heavily traveled transcontinental route,” Williams explained. “This route has been rightfully referred to as ‘Main Street of the U. S. A.’ “Some years ago private individuals and a few commercial operators erected eating stands, oil stations and repair garages on this highway so close to the traffic that they did constitute a genuine hazard. “Gradually many stands were moved. But of late a few owners have persisted in remaining close to the pavement. So the commission has issued an order requiring that an 80-foot right-of-way be enforced.” A. H. Hinkle, maintenance superintendent, declared that the state highway department has been very conservative regarding the amount of right-of-way.

TRIAL OF WIFE FOR SLAYING OF MATETO JURY Deliberate on Punishment of Woman Who Stabbed Husband. Bv United Press LONG ISLAND CITY, N. Y., Dec. 14.—A jury today started deliberating whether Mrs. Frances Kirkwood should be punished for the death of her husband, Dr. Glenn Kirkwood, who was stabbed to death Aug. 7. The state contends Mrs. Kirkwood, a comely 33-year-old woman, killed her husband “with liquor on her breath and in a moment of passion” after an argument when she found the doctor had been entertaining women guests at their home while she was in Florida. The case was given to the jury at 12:50 p. m. today.' Presentation of evidence had lasted only one day. Mrs. Kirkwood was the chief witness in her own defense. On the stand she told how her husband had admitted infidelity and how she seized a bread knife to commit suicide. Her husband struggled with her and during the struggle he was stabbed fatally, she said. Her attorney, Dana Wallace, in summation, however, brought up the question of whether Kirkwood had died of the stabbing or of an operation performed after the stabbing. Mrs. Kirkwood is charged with manslaughter. A bee’s olfactory glands are located in its knee joints.
