BOMB SUSPECT TELLS HOW HIS CAR WAS USED Mazurka Just Loaned Auto to Gangsters, He Tells Marion Police. BY CHARLES E. CARLL Timei Staff Correipondent MARION. Ind., April 15.—Walter Mazurka, alias Walter Clark, alias Jimmy Purcell, has told me his story of how three men in the Grant county jail, charged with murder in connection with bombings here in the last six months, happened to be in their car last Tuesday when they were arrested. Mazurka, sought for throughout the nation for a week, came here Monday and after a nap and a good meal phoned Police Chief Lewis Lindemuth and asked to see him. Lindemuth was strolling down the street with Mazurka when he met Jack Maltby of the Marion LeaderTribune and The Times correspondent, near police headquarters.' We were introduced by the chief and the alleged “big shot” in the bombing case, told his story, as follows: “I dropped off that 6:30 train from Chicago this morning and I decided to register at the hotel and take a nap before I looked up the chief. "I’ve been hiding in Chicago since Friday when I found out the cops had been to my hotel. I was out playing golf when they came, and a friend of mine told me about it. “I didn’t even go back to the hotel but happened to have this suit at a cleaner and decided to get it. i hid out by going to shows. No fooling, I’ve been in movies ever since Friday. “Understand now, I've come down here voluntarily to see what it’s all about. That's my car the boys used and I lent it to Pete Kemeciak and Joe Beckett, whom I know as Eddie Multanski, at 6 a. m. Tuesday. “They asked me for it Monday night while I was bowling and said hey wanted to take a trip into Inliana and would be back in a few' hours, probably early in the afteroon. I didn’t know what the boys

My coat happened to be in the bus because I’d had a few drinks and forgot it. Gee, I'm sure glad I didn’t come with them. If I’d been in that night instead of bein’ out all night, I’d probably made the trip.” Mazurka stopped to fleck animaginary dust spot from his natty brown suit. He adjusted his new hat, looked at his new tan shoes and touched his tie. “Yep, I know plenty of the Capone boys; ypu know I’m pretty friendly with some of his bartenders.” Mazurka then was taken into the chief’s office to face newspaper men while officials prepared to question him. Mazurka said that he registered at a local hotel Monday morning near rooms of detectives and a newspaper man. An Indianapolis reporter covering the case here Monday had written a story that he talked to a man named Mazurka in Lake county

In his story he quoted Mazurka as saying he had been in Marion “lots of times and was in the baseball pool business.” Denies Marion Link “I never was in Marion in my life,” Mazurka said. ‘“I don’t know any of those newspaper guys except you two. “I was in the baseball pool racket a couple of years ago, but I never worked this town. I don’t know anybody here and I haven’t got an attorney or anybody with me.” At this point officials called for the reporter who UTOte the story that he had interviewed a man named Mazurka, Mazurka leaned on the radio in the police chief’s office and smoked a cigaret without any sign of disturbance. Never Saw Him When the newspaper man walked into the room Mazurka was asked: “Did you ever see that man before?” No. I never saw that guy in all my life.” The reporter then was questioned and said the man who faced him

was not the man he talked to, “and who said he was Mazurka.” Officials then directed newspaper men to- leave the room. “I’ll see you boys later, and I ain’t in jail, I’ll spend the night at the hotel,” Mazurka said. “I got enough money to do that. So long.” COLLEEN MOORE SUES HUBBY FOR DIVORCE Film Star Charges John McCormick Ordered Her From Home. By United Press LOS ANGELES, Cal., April 15.

LOVE LETTERS NEW CLEWS IN GIRLSMURDER Police to Round Up Friends of Pretty U. S. Clerk in Slaying Probe. By United Press WASHINGTON, April 15.—The cynic’s warning, “never write to a woman what you aren’t willing for the whole world to read,” may find ample substantiation in the Mary Baker murder case, it appeared today. A collection of amorous notes written to Miss Baker, pretty young navy department clerk whose body was found in Arlington memorial cemetery last Saturday, were in the possession of police today. With an assortment of snapshots they were taken from the dead girl’s desk Monday. On the basis of these discoveries, police planned today t-o round up a number of suspects who were friends of the slain girl. The result of three days of intensive work by the police department was summed up by Inspector William S. Shelby Monday night as follows: Police believe Mary Baker’s murderer was a Washington man and had carried on a love affair with the girl. They believe Mary Baker’s friends are concealing valuable information from them. Miss Baker was murdered last Friday night after she had spent four hours—from about 6:30 p. m. to 10:30 p. m.—riding around and near the city and parking with some man whom evidently she knew well, according to the information gathered by detectives. Police say the girl was assaulted and then shot three times. They believe the assault occurred near Rosslyn, Va., across, the Potomac from here. Residents of that place report they heard the girl’s cries and later, as the car started off at a rapid pace, they heard shots. Her companion threw her body under a culvert near the Arlington cemetery and then abandoned her car a half mile away.

Mrs. Charlotte Russell Tells Bow Cuticura Healed Her Child. “My little girl was troubled with a rash that started on her ankles and quickly spread to her knees. The breaking out lestered and itched and burned, causing the child to lie awake nights and keep me awake. The trouble lasted six months. “I tried other remedies but they did not do any good. Upon advice of a friend I tried Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and after using six cakes of Cuticura Soap and four boxes of Cuticura Ointment she was completely healed.” (Signed) Mrs. Charlotte Russell, 1629 Hoefgen St, Indianapolis.
