BRUTAL DEATH TALE TOLD BY OUSTED WIFE Statement May Clear Up Mystery of Two-Year-Old Medlock Murder. FIRE APPLIED TO BODY Father of Two Killed Near Bloomington Believed Robbed of S2OO. m Tina s Hvvcial BLOOMINGTON. Ind., March 14. — l The story of a woman scorned is expected to result in the arrest wiJiin a few days of four men well known in Bloomington and vicinity on charges of murdering Ellis A. Medlock. in one of the most brutal crimes in Indiana’s history. One of the men believed facing arrest is the husband of the woman who has given authorities evidence which is now being considered by the Monroe county grand jury. Since the slaying, the husband is said to have cast off the woman, and she turned against him. Another of the men suspected is said to live in constant fear of exposure and even in his home sits with a shotgun across his lap. Liquor Dealing Alleged Medlock, 23, according to evidence given the authorities, was engaged m the liquor traffic and the motive for the slaying was robbery, he having had S2OO on his person when he left home Jan. 13, 1928, never to return alive. Nine days later the young man's body was found in a woods a mile from Kirksville, southwest of here. The skull was crushed and an attempt had been made to burn the body. It lay face downward, partially frozen in the earth, and had been mutilated by hogs. Despite an extensive investigation immediately afterward and subsequent grand jury inquiries, no clews developed sufficiently authentic to warrant arrests. Judges Order Probe After the informing woman and her husband parted she is said to have dropped hints about knowledge of the murder during conversations with friends. Finally these reached Judge Herbert Rundell of Monroe circuit court and he communicated them to the grand jury which convened this w r eek. Medlock left his widow and two small children. She told authorities that he had left home in his automobile to deliver some whisky and bring back a supply of groceries. The car was found in its usual parking place on a road near the home. It contained groceries, but no liquor. 20 CANDIDATES FILE List for Nominations to County Offices.

of those studies we have formulated certain theories about the motions of the solar system.

MORNING GAMES Washington, 20; Martinsville, 14. Franklin, 34; Dugger, IP. Delphi, 28; Kokomo, 17. The Washington and Martinsville quintets first lined up for newspaper photographers and then were withdrawn for final instructions. Sadler took the opening tip-off. batting the ball to Suddith. Walts of Martinsville took the first shot, but missed. Englehart broke into the scoring from the side of the floor with a beautiful bank shot that gave the Washington quintet a two-point lead. De Jernet, using the professional style of block at the foul circle, was feeding the ball to his mates and alternately striving to shoot himself. Hevenridge fouled Smith and the little Artesian forward missed both attempts. Sadler, guarding De Jernet closely, was fouled for pushing, but the Hatchets’ giant Negro center missed his free throw attempt. De Jernet charged into Smith, flooring the Artesian. Smith missed his iree throw and when the bail bounded back into his hands, missed an easy Martinsville cut loose with a flashy passing attack and drove down the court, Suddith s shot looping out of the nets. Englehart fouled Sadler and the Artesian center broke into the scoring with a free throw. Try Again Misses Suddith fouled Englehart and the Washington star made it 3 to l with a nice snot. McCracken fould Smith, but he again missed. Hevenridge looped in a field goal from the side center to bring the count to 5 to 1. Suddith dropped one in from the center circle and Washington called for time out, with the score standing at 5 to 3. Both teams had taken eleven attempts from the field. Washington put the ball in play from out of bounds as play was resumed. Balay went in for Muiphy and Martinsville called for time as Gilmore looped in a field goal, giving the Hatchets a 7-to-3 lead, with five minutes of play remaining in the half. Suddith drove in under the basket to follow in a shot and bat it for a field goal, bring the count to 7-5. Balay fouled McCracken, who missed both attempts from the free throw line. Washington Ahead at Half Murphy went back into the contest for Balay and Williams entered the Martinsville lineup in Waltz' place. Englehart brought cheers irom the crowd as he heaved in a one-handed shot from the side. Washington apparently was contented to stall out the remainder of the half, and retired into the back court. The half ended with Washington holding a 9 to 5 lead. Washington had made three field goals in nineteen attempts in the first half and Martinsville two out of seventeen. Martinsville had scored one free throw in five attempts and the Hatchets one in four. De Jarnet took the opening tipoff of the second half, sending the ball back to McCracken. Balay dribbled in under the nets, but again the leather failed to respond to the Martinsville touch and the ball rolled out. De Jernet fouled Sadler, but the big Artesian center missed. Lead Is Increased De Jernet fired a long pass to Englehart, stealing down the floor, and the Hatchet forward looped the leather into the meshes to give Washington an W-to-5 advantage. Suddith fouled Englehart and the Washington flash made it 12 to 5. McCracken pushed Smith and the little Martinsville boy connected from the foul stripe. Martinsville suddenly became afflicted with “fumbleitis” and muffed a half-dozen passes under the basket, Williams was sent back in for Waltz in an effort to brace the Arlesians. Again the Hatchets made good on a long pass, Gilmore dribbling under the basket for an easy goal. Smith fouled McCracken, but the Washington star missed. With seven minutes of play remaining, the score stood 14 to 6. Odds Grow Heavy De Jernet fouled Sadler and the Artesian ace connected to bring the score to 14 to 7. Washington again controlled the ball, loafing in the backcourt and waiting for openings. With the score doubled, the odds appeared too great for Martinsville to overcome. Englehart fouled Suddith, and the star Artesian floor guard brought the count to 14 to 8, with less than five minutes remaining to play. Smith wiggled through McCracken and De Jernet and dropped in a field goal to bring the count to 14 to 10, as the Hatchets hurriedly called for time out. The game appeared on ice for Washington as Englehart looped in a field goal when he took the ball on the tipoff. Sadler connected with a beautiful overhead shot to bring the count to 16 to 12, with three minutes of play remaining. De Jernet passed to Gilmore under the hoop who made an easy basket, to raise the count to 18 to 12. Balay passed from out of

bounds to Suddith, who fired one through the meshes to bring the score 18 to 14 with less than two minutes to play. Martinsville was fighting desperately as De Jernet dribbled down the floor to loop in a shot that gave the Hatchets a 20 to 14 lead. Hevenridge fouled Balay, but the Aresian missed. The gun barked with the Hatchets’ lead intact. The crowd gathered for the opening contest of the tournament was the largest ever to witness the start Every section in the huge field house was four-fifths filled fifteen minutes before Referee Birch Bayh tossed up the leather between Sadler of Martinsville and De Jernet of Washington, Weather Is Ideal Ideal weather favored the throngs of tournament enthusiasts and thousands were massed outside the gigantic field house, slowly filing through the gates. Inside, the crowd gayly chattered and milled around, and a deafening cheer rolled up as the Artesians trotted on to the floor for their warm-up drill, Coach Glenn Curtis directing the workout from the sidelines. A few minutes later Washington rushed to the court and introduced anew system of warm-up drill, the squad dividing into two teams and scrimmaging mildly. There was very little evidence of early scalping, but police were watching closely for any illegal methods of disposing of tickets.

FRANKLIN-DUGGER
Underwood of Franklin gave Dugger a chance to break into the lead as he fouled Robinson, but he missed.

Cornelius and Dugger fired away for the downstaters to bring the score to 8 to 4. Robinson connected with a free throw for Dugger, and Dugger, himself, fouled by Brewer, added two more free throws to bring the score to 8 to 7. Daugherty fouled Osborn, but he I missed both free throws. Lloyd went jin for Underwood. Dugger charged i into Lloyd, who boosted the Franklin advantage to 9 to 7. The Dugger lads, by this time, apparently had acclimated themselves and were pushing the Fuzzy-Wuzzies hard. Dollens looped in a field goal from the side center to bring the count to 11 to 7. Cornelius sent B. Anderson sprawling, but the Franklin player missed his free throw attempt. Daugherty broke through the Dugger defense to heave in a field goal and raise the score to 13 to 7. Cornelius dropped in a field goal for Dugger and B. Anderson retalij ated with a free throw from the | free throw line. Cornelius came | right back with a free throw to boost the total to 14 to 10. Booed for Foul The crowd booed as the officials ! fouled Robinson and cheered as : Daugherty missed the first free : throw. He hit the second, to make j the score 15 to 10. The thousands of fans had se- | lected the “under-dog,” in this case ! Dugger, as their best favorite and were rooting strongly for the downstate team. Daugherty fired one in from the side center to make it 17 to 10. Osborn dropped one in from the foul line and Dugger looped in a pretty side-floor shot to make the count stand at 17 to 13. Osborn raised the Dugger total to 15 with a shot three-quarters the length of j the floor. The gun barked a moment | later, with the Fuzzy-Wuzzies holding a 17-to-15 lead. Score Free Throws Dugger and Daugherty scored free throws for their respective teams at the opening of the second half, and Lloyd tallied with a field goal to bring the score to 20 to 16. The mighty crowd that had ormed behind the Dugger quintet let loose a great cheer as Cornelius looped in a field goal. Brewer retaliated for Franklin and the count stood at 22 to 18. Lloyd stood under the basket and dropped in a field goal and Brewer followed with another that gave Fuzzy Vandiver’s team a 26 to 18 lead as Dugger called for time out.

DELPHI-KOKOMO
Both Kokomo and Delphi left the floor just as the game was about to start and as a result the contest was begun far behind time. Babb sent the Wildcats into the lead with an accurate toss from the free throw line, but Perigo turned two free throw line opportunities into points to give the Delphi Oracles a 2-to-l lead. Babb knotted the score with a free throw and Crumley gave Kokomo a 4-to-2 advantage, with an arching field goal. Schrader tallied a free throw for Delphi and after sixteen Oracle attempts at the basket had failed. Perigo snagged a field goal to give Delphi a 5-to-4 lead as the Wildcats called for time. Babb followed in after his long shot and batted the ball into the hoop to give Kokomo the lead once again. The advantage was shortlived, however, Bromley committing his third personal foul and Schrader knotting the count at 6-all with a free throw. Delphi rained the hoop with shots and Perigo finally batted one in for a field goal to raise the score to 8-6. Maddox went in for Crumley and the Oracles called for time out. Popejoy fouled Babb, who missed from the foul stripe as the gun barked, ending the initial period with Delphi still ahead, 8 to 6. Both teams were displaying the poorest shooting form of the day, Kokomo’s basket shooting average totaling .182 in the first half and Delphi's only .077. Kelly went in for Popejoy as the second half got under way. Shuey came up to the center of the floor and arched a field goal through the meshes to bring the score 10 to 6. Oracle Lead Boosted On a held-ball tossup, near the basket, Perigo batted the ball through the nets to give the Oracles a six-point lead. Black flipped in a field goal from side-center to cut the Delphi lead to 12 to 8. Shuey fouled Frederick, but the Kokomo lad missed both free throw attempts. Perigo took the ball to the center of the floor and raised the score to 14 to 8 with a looping field goal. Bromley left the game with four personal fouls and Crumley replaced him. There was a wild scrimmage under the hoop and Perigo batted another through the meshes to raise the total to 16 to 8. Moore made it 18 to 8 with two free throws. Emmerling replaced Frederick in the Kokomo lineup. Schrader fouled Crumley, who made one and missed one of his two attempts. Moore sank a one-handed field goal to boost the score, 20 to 9. It was his first basket in thirteen attempts. He added another point from the foul stripe. Maddox looped one in for Kokomo. Kelly took a long pass under the hoop for a field goal, and on the succeeding play arched in another field goal to raise the score to 25 to 11. Fans Start to Leave With this outburst of speed, thousands of fans, apparently satisfied that victory for ihe Oracles was assured, began to leave the fieldhouse. Crumley added a point to the Wildcat total from the foul line and Moore retaliated with one point for Delphi. Popejoy went back into the Delphi lineup for Kelly and Joyce replaced Perigo. Babb scored a free throw for Kokomo. Shuey left the game on personal fouls when he fouled Babb. Kelly came back in. Babb scored a free throw to bring the score to 26 to 14. Crumley batted In a field goal to raise the total to 26 to 16. Moore and Schrader held the ball in backcourt, until Joyce fouled Emmerling, who added another point to the Kokomo total. Moore scored a pair of free throws to make the score 28 to 17 as.the game ended. Delphi. GF TP Kokomo.
