The wealthy New Yorker testified on two of the co-respondents named in his complaint.. He was asked to identify Bill Hardy. “Hardy was a sailor on a small yacht I own. Later he became captain.

Inman admitted he had at one time installed a dictaphone in his wife’s room because she was in and out so much he wished to find out whether information about her given by his acquaintances was true.

By United Press Hollywood, March 29.— The wedding of one of the screen colony’s most popular young couples, Joan Crawford and Douglas Fairbanks Jr., promises to be Hollywood’s outstanding social event. Ail Hollywood has watched them for a year, since the day when Joan first said that she “loved him too much to marry him.” Just a few months after that unexplained statement, their engagement was announced and the wedding date has been set—Oct. 23. The wedding will join a young man who is following a career like the one that carried hia father, Douglas Fairbanks Sr., to fame and a beautiful titian-haired girl who entered the movies from the Passing Show revue. The stage knew her as Lucille Le Seur. Through a magazine contest, after her film debut, the public named her Joan Crawford. Joan is a San Antonio, Tex., girl. She was educated there and went to finishing school in Kansas City. Love of the theater affected her at an early age and she finally ran away from home to Chicago, where she obtained work as a dancer in a revue.

KINDNESS OF LAW FATAL TO MOTHER Dies of Shock at Arrest of Daughter, Detention Home Fugitive. Frances Minet, 17, is free on her own recognizance today to go home to her dead mother. The law in attempting to aid Frances unwittingly hastened the mother’s death Thursday. Mrs. Clara Minet, 52, of 1338 Reisner street, died at 5:30 p. m. Thursday while telling her husband, Thomas Minet, that police had called at their home two hours before with their daughter, Frances, 17, who had run away from the detention home two weeks before. Death was attributed to a heart attack brought on by the excitement. Starts by Cutting School The father, an employe of the Marmon Motor Car Company, today told the daughter’s story. She started by cutting classes at Manual high school and later at Washington high school where she was transferred. A more serious delinquency followed and the gin was taken by juvenile court authorities. After Frances had been in the Marion county detention home for five weeks waiting to be sent to a correctional institution, she and two other girls escaped two weeks ago. Frances and one other girl came to the Minet home Saturday night and fled when the father called the detention home. Is Arrested Here He later received a letter from his daughter saying she was in Cincinnati working. But Thursday Frances and Jeanette Welsh, 17, of Cincinnati, one of the escaped girls, was arrested by Lieutenant Fred Drinkut at Sherman drive and Elm street. Funeral services for Mrs. Minet probably will be held Monday at the West View Baptist church. Mrs. Minet was born near Gosport, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Moore. She was married to Minet at Elletsville in 1896, and they came to Indianapolis about eighteen years ago. Mrs. Minet was a member of the West View Baptist church, and the Rebekahs at Elletsville. Surviving besides the husband and daughters, are another daughter, Mrs. Katherine Gibbs of Indianapolis; four sons, Hubert of Ellisville, Melvin of Bloomington, Glenn and Thomas Jr., both of Indianapolis, and a brother, David Moore of Gosport.

CITY INDUSTRY IS HALTED ON GOODJRIDAY Workers Pause in Tasks to Bow at Altars, Listen to Sermons. 4 THRONG PACKS KEITH’S Other Thousands Worship at Churches; Street Cars Stop. When the noon whistles blew today, Industry bowed in prayer at church altars, In vestry-rooms, sang laudatory hymns to Him, who came to save—on this, His Good Friday. Seven hundred business firms locked doors, covered cash registers, and released thousands of employes to the three-hour services—between 12 and 3 p. m. —in church over the city or to the two downtown meetings at Keith’s theater and Christ Church on Monument Circle. The roar of street cars was stopped for one minute at 3 p. m. to honor the biblical “ninth to twelfth” hours, when Christ was lifted to the Cross to die and to be resurrected on Easter Sunday. As the capital city, Indianapolis took the lead in Indiana municipalities in honoring the day. Thousands in Theater Religious fervor and hymns supplanted money-making, sermons substituted for sales talks, in the city. Two thousand men and women from every occupation in life crowded Keith’s theater to hear the three one-hour periods of services. At Christ church, amplifiers installed in the parish house carried the words of the pastor, the Rev. Floyd Van Keuren, to the overflow crowd that was unable to obtain seats in the church proper. The crowd was estimated at near 1,200. “The supreme attraction of the life of Jesus Christ is to be found in his last hours on the cross,” declared Dr. Charles F. Wishart, Wooster, O, president of the College of Wooster, in the first period’s address at Keith’s theater. “We turn to the Cross because here we find the only answer to the most tragic interrogations of life. Why does goodness seem to suffer, wickedness seem to prosper? Here at the Cross we find the answer. “We learn that to all our evil He is not indifferent. God consummated His love for us in that while we were sinners Christ died for us,” Dr. Wishart said. Dr. W. A. Shullenberger, pastor of Central Christian church, spoke on “The Romance of the Cross” at the second hour period between 1 and 2 p. m. “The test of the cross is the proving of the soul. Let us not regard the carrying of the cross as excess baggage, but instead as the symbol of the greatest living, betokening the fact that forever we have been freed from aimlessness to become the conscripts of the soul’s mightiest dreams,” Mr. Shullenberger said. Duets and solos with prayers and meditations formed a portion of the program on the three periods. Dr. Rorer Speaks As the third hour’s speaker, Dr. Virgil E. Rorer, pastor of the Meridian Street Methodist church, told of the lessons of the “Crosses at Calvary.” “One cross was a man dying in sin, another cross was a man dying, saved from sin, and on the central cross was the son of God dying for sin,” he said.

LOVE’S ‘DIARY’ IN SLAYING OF PASTORBARED Drama of Passion From Kiss to Killing Told by Wife and Husband. By United Press TYLER, Tex., March 29.—Intimate details of an illicit romance between a Baptist preacher and an attractive young housewiie were an open book to curious court fans today as the last session of the trial of Loys Wilson for the murder of the philandering minister opened. The case may go to the jury today. For the last two days a parade of witnesses has unfolded the story of how the blonde and handsome minister, the Rev. Fount Wallace, and the housewife, Mrs. Mae Wilson, his choir singer-sweetheart, carried on their romance while Wilson was working in his garage to lift debts from a small home. Wilson himself took tne stand and admitted he shot Wallace to death in a drug store as the preacher talked to a group of young women, but pleaded that the minister had “ruined his home.” The state asks his death in the electric chair. From Kiss to Killing Mrs. Wilson, in tears, testified for her husband, admitting intimacies with the handsome minister. She said the romance began with a surreptitious kiss in the basement of Wallace’s church after choir practice and ended in the drug store shooting. A half dozen east Texas Baptist ministers, led by the Rev. H. H. Wallace, father of the slain preacher, testified Thursday that the younger Wallace was at a Baptist conference Jan. 26, 1928, one of the days Mrs. Wilson said she kept a love tryst with her minister-lover in the home of a friend. Mrs. Laura Dobbs, the friend, denied that she had permitted her home to be used as a rendezvous by the couple. Harry Wilson, 9-year-old son of the Wilsons, striving to keep buck the tears that welled in his eyes, testified that he had seen the pastor “pat mama on the back and say she was a very beautiful woman,” once when the pastor was at the Wilson home, when the garage man was at work. Sees Two in Kitchen Wilson told how his wife changed her church membership from a little Baptist congregation at Arp, near Troup, to Wallace’s church, and how he gave his wife and children money to give to the church. In June of 1927 he first told his wife of his suspicions. He had been working in his garage, about ten feet from the home, and had gone to get a bite to eat. He saw the churchman and Mrs. Wilson standing In the kitchen. “They looked surprised and I knew something was wrong, but I said nothing,” Wilson testified. Later that week, after the churchman and Mrs. Wilson had been seen together again, Wilson accused his wife of having Improper relations with Wallace and she confessed.

‘SCARFACE AL’, MARKED FOR j GUN DEATH Three Attempts Made on Life of Vice King Are Unsuccessful. CZAR HEAVILY GUARDED Brother Cooks All Meals, With Fear of Poison Ever Present. The following concludes the United Preis series of exclusive dispatches about the St. Valentine's day (rang massacre in Chicago, why the seven Bugs Moran men were Killed, who is suspected of killing them, how Scarface A1 Capone won ana held his power, and the part played in the drama of blood and money by Frankie Yale of New York. Today’s release tells of the threats that have been made on Capone's life and how he protects himself against bodily harm. (Copyright. 1929. by United Press' CHICAGO, March 29.—1n the five years that he has ruled the Chicago beer, vice and gambling “rackets,” four major attempts have been made on the life of Scarface A1 Capone. Hymie Weiss, Schemer Drucci and George (Bugs) Moran were the first men to plot Capone's downfall, back in 1925, when he was allied with the then powerful Johnny Torrio, successor to Big Jim Colosimo. Capone was fired upon while driving away from his south side home In his famous armored car. The bullets spattered the sldfc. #1 the machine, splintered one bunt ’ proof window, but left Scarface 1 unscathed, although from that on he knew who his enemies weg& If he had entertained any doii*< ; before. Another Attack Made Late that same year the jP\ group was credited with a sr* attack on Capone's car, but for%. ately for the gang leader he was 5 in the automobile at the time tft his chauffeur met his doom. The third attack early the ne% year followed a peace meeting ranged by the late Tony Lombardo l and Samoots Amatuna, at which “Bugs” Moran was forced to shake hands with the scarfaced beer baron. “We were forced to do it,” Moraji said afterward. “Hymie Weiss had been killed and all our business was in his name. We have no money to carry on the fight. There’s no peace with the dagoes.” A short time later the Moransj were at it again, invading stronghold In the Lexington hotfix with machine guns. They were sui| prised by Capone’s guards and flel without firing a shot. Mutiny in Ranks The fourth attack came from within the Capone ranks. Louis (Mops) Volpi called a meeting of seven other Capone guards and addressed them as follows: “This guy Capone is speeding our money and all we get is in pencil and paper.” The plot was laid to put Ralph Sheldon in the king’s chair, but Capone’s more loyal friends heard of it and the entire guard was turned out of office and driven out of town. The complaint against Capone has been that he was making $1,250,000 annually out of dog track enterprises and shared the profits with his aids at the low rate of $3 to $5 per hundred a week. The precautions which Capone takes against attack nowadays are elaborate. He sleeps in a room with windows and doors protected with bars and metal sheeting. In front of his bedroom are two other smaller rooms for his guards, two guards to each room. Capone himself keeps two pistols under his pillow. Food Carefully Tested When he eats it is food carefully tested and tasted by his faithful brother, Mimi Capone, who is -a good chef. Miml prepares all Al’s meals and nothing reaches the lips of the gang chieftain without first being tasted by Mimi. “Scarface’* is as wary of poison as of bullets. When Capone rides he Is in the front seat of a large limousine equipped with gun racks, two trustees—usually Louis (Little New York) Campagni and Willie Heenie, both of whom are being hunted for their alleged part In the St. Valentine’s day massacre—and bul-let-proof sides and windows. Two automobiles carrying guards accompany the limousine, one ahead and the other behind. Capone seldom walks or appears In public places, but when he does go to a prize fight or to the police field day exercises in Soldiers’ field he buys a dozen seats around him for friends and guards.
