YOUNG DIVORCEE DEAD Intimacy With Husband of Defendant Believed Murder Motive. r ' VALPARAISO, Ind., June 3.—Cold and defiant. Mrs. Catherine Cassler, once condemned to the gallows in Chicago, was back in jail tdoay here while the law endeavored to weave a ring of circumstantial evidence around her in connection with the murder of Miss Cameola, Soutar, 24-year-old divorcee, whose body was found last week in a swamp near Hebron. Mrs. Cassler spent twentyfight months in a Chicago jail, part of the time under the shadow of a. hangmans noose. Another bit of evidence against Mr.. Cassler was announced by Coroner E. H. Miller, who said he had found three witnesses who declared they saw Mrs. Cassler in the vicinity of the swamp last Tuesday. All of the witnesses. Miller said, were well acquainted with Mrs. Cassler when the lived near Hebron. Cassler said his wife knew- of his philandering and when she was refrom pail a month ago made sinister threats against him and Miss Soutar. My wiie was mad because Cammie kept house for me while she was in jail," Cassler said. "The third night after she got out she beat, up Cammie and told both of us, ‘Don't, let me ever see you two together again,' then she took a pistol from her apron pocket and waved it at us.” • Monday night when I got home the house seemed strangely quiet, so I asked my wife what was the matter.” ■ 'Your sweetie was here today, but you won’t be bothered with her any more. She's gone away,’ my wife told me.” Cassler said. “I asked her where Cammie had tone, but she only snickered. Then I saw some stains on the bathroom floor, but. I don't know whether they were bloodstains or not. The room looked like it just had been scrubbed.” Miss Scutar's body was found on Thursday in a swamp near Hebron about a mile and a. half from the former farm home of the Casslers. He had sold the farm to pay attorneys' fees in defense of his wife "■hen she-was on trial for murder. Bov Found Bodv The body was lying face downward in the swamp and covered with willows when found by a small bow Miss Soutar had been shot in the heart. The body as identified by Chester Johnson of Chicago after he had read newspaper accounts o f the crime and noted that a roller skating championship pin was found on the coat. His revelations that. Miss Soutar had been a. housekeeper for Cassler first, set police on track of Mrs. Cassler. Johnson said he and Miss Soutar had planned to be married next Saturday and that he became worried when he could not find her last week. In face of these accusations. Mrs. Cassler remained cold and defiant as she had done when accused of murder before.

“Laughing at Life” “If my husband says I had a gun hf' s a liar.” Mrs. Casslcr said. “I'm not afraid. I'm laughing at life. I’ll never frown again. I spent twentyeighth months and eleven days in jail, and life has cheated me. but i'xl not frown," the 40-year-old fat woman said. George Soutar. Chicago, father of the slain girl, showed little interest when told his daughter was dead. “She never was a good girl.’’ he said. “She left home about seven ■> ears ago. and w - e never herd from her.” Mrs. Soutar was in a dying condition in an adjoining room of the shabby flat, unaware that her daughter had been murdered. Murder Charge Dismissed Mrs. Casslcr was convicted, with two others of the murder of Arthur ! mdstrom in Chicago several years ago. All three were convicted and Mrs. Casslcr was sentenced to hang. T.=eal delays and technicalities postponed the execution and finally the upreme court ordered anew trial. The state, dismissed the charges because one defendant had died in the penitentiary and the other refused to testify against the woman.

FATHER FLEES AUTOS. RUT BOY IS KILLED I Move to Suburb Fails to Save Motherless Children From Peril. YOUNGEST SON VICTIM Dashes in Path of Car as Brother Attempts to Guide Him Safely. Where can a man move to escape the dreadful traffic menace hovering over his motherless children? This question rang through the harrowed mind of Ernest Moody, 719 Worth street, two miles west of the city limits, today as he prepared for the funeral of Warren, his 7-year-old son. killed by an automobile on National road, near the home, Sunday. When the mother died a few months ago. the father moved with his five children to a point he thought, was far removed from traffic dangers. The house is half a mile from National road. He had planned to buy the place. Where Will He. Move But now, as soon as the funeral is over, he declared he would seek out a place to move to, where whizzing motors can not snuff out, the lives of Warren's three small sisters and brother, still at home. Unheeding warnings of a brother, Samuel, 10, not to cross West Washington street, in the 5500 block, until he signaled that the highway was clear. Warren Sunday dashed from behind a car going west into the path of a machine driven east by John Eaton. 20. of 1250 High School road, a junior at Butler university. Eaton was arrested on a charge of involuntary manslaughter, and was later released on his own recognizance. Witnesses told police they thought he was not to blame. Warren was caught on the bumper and carried twenty feet before the car stopped. He died within a few minutes. Warned to Wait “Warren wanted to see the water on the other side / 'f the road.” his brother said. “I told him to wait until I came out. but. he went over while I was in the store. I went to ■■get, him. and told him to wait, until I motioned for him to cross. While I was coining back I heard a slam and brakes screeching. I looked and saw Warren lying on the pavement, j “I ran over to him and took his | hand, but he wouldn’t, talk.” [ Surviving besides the brother and | father are four sisters, Joyce Marie. Edna Bernice and Nema Olga, at home, and Mrs. Alma Miller, this city. Funeral services will be held at the home at 7 a. m. Tuesday, and burial will be in Barnard. Ind.
