YOUTH BURNED ALIVE, CHARGE AGAINST FIVE Ghastly Murder Alleged in Arkansas: Sweetheart Mistreated. /: l tilted Press MOUNTAIN VIEW. Ark.. Nov. 25. -Five men were under arrest today on first degree murder charges, after indictments accusing them of torturing, mutilating and then burning alive a farm boy and attacking his sweetheart, were returned by the Stone county grand Jury. The grand jury report brought to light for the first time the story of the disappearance of Connie Franklin, 20, last March, and the attacking of his companion, Miss Tillie Ruminer, 17. Herman Greenway and Bill C. Younger, held in Batesville tArk.) jail, Hubert Hester and Joe White, held in Newport jail, and Alex Fulks, held in Stone county jail here, are the five held. In addition to the murder charges, Greenway and Hester are charged with criminal assault, a capital offense in Arkansas. Miss Ruminer was at the home of Sheriff Sam Johnson here today, to remain until the trial. Fear of reprisals which kept the girl from reporting the slaying of Franklin make it necessary to protect her. According to the story told the grand jury by Miss Ruminer, she and Franklin were walking along a road, fourteen miles east of here, last March, when the five men. whom she identified as those held, sprang upon them and beat Franklin. He fainted, she said, and the men, believing him dead, built a fire and placed the body on it. Franklin revived and rolled off. The men then clubbed him on the head and placed the body back on the fire, she said. They later picked the body up in a sack and threw it in a nearby stream. Miss Ruminer said. Hugh Williamson, district prosecutor, later visited the scene and picked up eight bones, which have been identified as human bones, he said. Muss Rummer's testimony is In part substantiated by that of a deaf mute boy, who claims in a written statement to have witnessed the slaying from a distance, Williamson said.

Nov. 25. —The hearing by which Mrs. Catherine McCormick hopes to become sole guardian of% her husband, Stanley McCormick, incompetent son of the late Cyrus McCormick, the haivesting machine inventor, resumed as a “family circle’’ today. Testimony of medical experts concerning the disputed treatment of McCormick was heard by many relatives. In the courtroom were his wife and his brother and sister, Harold McCormick and (Mrs. Anita Blaine McCormick. The wife seeks removal of the brother and sister as coguardians. Also present were Harold McCormick’s youngest daughter, Mathilde, and Max Oser, the Swiss riding master with whom she eloped a few years ago and caused an interantional sensation. They will be here for a few days before going to Florida to spend Christmas with Mrs. Oser’s grandfather, John D. Rockefeller. The principal tetsimony to date has been that of Dr. William H. White, superintendent of psychiatry at St. Elizabeth’s government hospital, Washington, D. C. The wife contends that treatment provided by the brother and sister has been costly and of no benefit. Dr. White tetsified that McCormick’s condition, since Dr. Edward J. Kemp began employing methods bordering on feudism, had improved, but admitted that the multimillionaire’s ciiaract eristic traits remained.

GANG GUNPLAY TAKES ONE LIFE Boyhood fals Duel While Club Crowd Watches. Hv Vnitrd Press CHICAGO. Nov. 25. Murder, gangland fashion, with an exclusive night club as the setting and sixty merrymakers as onlookers, today had added another victim to Chicago’s homicide record, placed a labor union gunman in jail as the killer and darkened the Club Arlington. Jealousy between two boyhood friends, Edward Tracy, 31, and Melville Purves, 35, was said by police to have progressed from bombings to the gunplay in the night club early Sunday that ended with Tracy lying on the floor, four bullet wounds in his head, and Purves making a futile attempt to flee in a taxicab. Tracy had been made bus 1 ness agent of the Sign Hangers’ Unionafter members ousted Purves. Purves blamed his old-time friend. The orchestra was playing a medley of college songo when Purves and his brother William entered. Purves whipped out a revolver and fired a bullet into his rival’s head. The Purves brothers slipped to the door and started down the steps. A waiter tripped them. A detective saw them leap into a taxicab and captured them at an intersection.
