DIED TO AVERT WEDDING, SAYS LATTA’S FRIEND ‘Attorney Wanted to Rejoin Wife in Oblivion,’ Avers Former Partner. FIANCEE TO TAKE STAND Hopes to Refute Charge of Suicide With Story of Honeymoon Plans. BY ARCH STEINEL Time* Stall Correspondent DANVILLE, Ind., Nov. 14.—0n the eve of his remarriage, Will H. Latta, Indianapolis corporation attorney, chose suicide that he might rejoin his deceased wife in death rather than chance the uncertainties of a second marriage, a jury w?s told here today in Hendricks circuit court. That financial ' difficulties may have been responsible for this fatalistic preference was indicated in the testimony of William J. Krieg, Latta's former business partner. Miss Emma Margaret Sanders, Ft. Wayne, fiancee of Latta, suing the United States Casualty Company to collect a $20,000 insurance policy, was to take the stand this afternoon in an effort to refute the testimony of suicide' threats given bv Krieg. Killed at Rail Crpssing Latta was killed when a locomotive struck his coupe on a Monon railroad crossing north of Carmel on. the night of June 12, 1929. The coroner held the death was “not accidental." Insurance company attorneys contend it was a case of suicide. "My 'God! What am I going to rio? ” Krieg testified, Latta said to him a week or two before the attorney's death. “I am engaged to get married and I haven t got the money to do it." Krieg also testified that on a business trip to Chicago, Latta attempted to drive, his car on a railroad track near Hainmopd when a train was approaching and warning lights flashing. * “What are you trying to do. kill us both?" Krieg said he asked Latta, after he had grabbed the emergency brake lever. . “No. this isn't- U)Q. place. I will show tn* yofi la-ter," he quoted Latta as answering. A few days later, Krieg said, he and Latta were on a business trip In north Indianapolis and Latta drove him on the Smokyville road to the Monon crossing near Carmel, where, later, Latta is alleged to have parked his car and awaited approach of a fast train. Says Latta f'jtppped, Car “Latta stopped the car on the tracks and said this' was" the place he was telling me about," Krieg testified. The witnesses said from time to time, Latta had discussed various methods of dying and once remarked : “I nor nobody else know’s what death is. If there is oblivion, that is where I want to be, because I could be with my wife.” Witnesses Thursday testified Latta remarked he always “carried his wife with him,” that the wife’s body was kept in an Indianapolis mortuary two years before being buried, and that Latta visited the grave, at Plainfield, the day of his alleged suicide. Krieg appeared reluctant to answer many questions, saying he liked Latta. and appealed to the court to spare him from answering. Hint Different Stories Counsel for Miss Sanders attacked Krieg's testimony, attempting to show he had told different stories to other persons. Attempt was made to impeach his testimony by introduction of a promissory note for SI,OOO signed Dec. 3, 1924. by Krieg, and held by Latta. in which Krieg stated he was ending all relations with Latta, and agreed not to mention Latta in any future business deals or conversations. Krieg admitted genuineness of the note, but testified he had been engaged in handling realty deals for Latta at numerous times after that date. The defense introduced LAtta's bank account, to show large amounts had been checked out and that Latta had little money left. “Latta called me to his office July 15, 1926. and asked me to get him some money, saying he had gotten Mike Foley and Dave Watson to sign an SBOO note,” Krieg testified. E. Foley > and David E. Watson are Indianapolis Street Railway Company attorneys with whom Latta was associated. The defense expected to rest its case this afternoon, after which rebuttal testimony would follow. Hope to Refute Charge Attorneys for Miss Sanders in rebuttal testimony hope to prove that the coupe stalled on the railroad tracks and that Mr. Latta's death was accidental. Through Miss Sanders and letters written her by Mr. Latta, the defense hopes to refute suicide allegation of the insurance company with testimony that his last thoughts and plans before his death were for his marnage to Miss Sanders and their honeymoon to Europe. In turn, the insurance company's lawyers through testimony of friends of Mr. Latta have sought to prove that his visit to the grave of his wife in Plainfield on the day of his death, alleged significent remarks he made from time to time, and his alleged ill-health prove motives for his suicide. The case is expected to be presented to the jury Monday.

INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1930

LAUBFREED OH FRAUD CHARGE Former Rea! Estate Dealer Wins, Records Show, Lyle T. Laub, former president of the defunct Realty Finance and Building Company, Indianapolis, has been freed of charges of embezzlement and grand larceny growing out of what was charged to be a sclmne to swindle real estate buyers of thousands of dollars, records in Marion criminal court show today. Special Judge Ralph Kane last August sustained a defense motion to quash the indictments on grounds they did not constitute a public offense, and because facts in the case were “vague and uncertain.” Laub was indicted by the grand jury in June, 1924, and his case failed to come up for. trial until last. August because of legal maneuvers. Paul Rhoadarmer, deputy prosecutor, said today the quash motion was resisted by the state in arguments, but that it would have been “difficult to make the case” because of lapse of time and faultiness of the indictments. The bills charged Laub with swindling William Waters, Indianapolis soldier, out of $4,000 in a realty deal. CORRIDEN RETAINED Johnny Signs 1931 Contract to Pilot Indians.

Battles Fear Nurse Depends Too Much on Mechanical Lung for Sleep.

By Ini led Press CHICAGO, Nov. 14.—Frances McGann, 25-year-old nurse, kept alive two months by a mechanical lung, fought today against anew menace—threatened habitual dependence on the respirator. For the first time since infantile paralysis deadened her lung muscles, she awoke in a hospital bed, temporary victor over her fear that sleeping outside the respirator might mean death. Dr. John Favill, the physician attending her at St. Luke's hospital, praised her coy rage in overcoming her panic, and told her she was almost ready to breathe alone. The student nurse’s reluctance to sleep while outside the machine has been the major difficulty in her otherwise uninterrupted recovery. Hospital attendants explained that while her desire to get well has caused her to minimize the pain she experiences in breathing alone, her convalescence has been complicated by her insistence that, she be in the machine while asleep. However, Miss McGann is aware of the importance of her own strengthening muscles resuming the functions that have been done by the machine, and has promised to master her fears. A hubbard tub, a tank shaped like a stemless four-leaf clover, filled with water warmed to body temperature, has been brought into use, to assist the nurse in regaining her strength. The water’s buoyancy relieves her muscles of some of the strain of exercise.

Acquitted by the jury after fifteen, and.one-half hours’ deliberation were Lieutenant Marion Van Sickle, Sergeant John Volderauer and patrolmen Ned Hoagland and Harry Bridwell.

George Strieker, patrolman, ill, also will be freed later, Judge Baitzell indicated. Seven other police will be tried on similar charges Dec. 4. Chris Schischoff and Chris Vila-

fendant, delivered three pints of whisky to him. Fowler has pleaded guilty and Gibson is a fugitive. Others in the ring who have entered guilty pleas are: The Barkers, O. W. Jones, returned from Ft. Leavenworth federal prison, and Cecil Rector, 1302 Udell street. Several Plead Not Guilty Pleading not guilty are: Alexander Belle, attorney; Edward S. Browning, R. R. 10; Harry D.

He said on the stand today that he entered the ring four years ago, when he drove a load of liquor from Chicago to Indianapolis Identifies Plot Member.: He identified virtually all members charged in tha conspiracy, and recited methods used to transport liquor from Canada to Indianapolis with the plane. On tv/o occasions, he said, he went with the Barkers to Muncie to take the booze from the airplane, and bring it to Indianapolis by car, while the empty plane flew to an airport here. The ring had quarters at 206-10 East St. Clair street, at 204 Northern building, and at 207 North Delaware street, the government charges.

schoff, proprietors'of a speakeasy at 843 East Washington street, in which the government charged the alleged conspiracy took place, were found guilty of sales, nuisance and conspiracy. They will be sentenced next Wednesday. After presentation of the government’s case Wednesday, Judge Baltzell ordered dismissal of charges against patrolmen Noel Stark and Fred Hague on grounds that evidenc'd and identification were insufficient. Following defense testimony Thursday, Judge Baltzell discussed evidence against other policemen and dismissed the cases against Sergeant James O’Brien and patrolmen Thomas Sullivan, Orville Quinette arid Clifford Brown. Safety board will meet within the next twenty-four hours to determine whether Van Sickle, Volderauer, Hoagland and Bridwell will face charges before the safety board. To Receive Back Pay In conference with Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan this morning, Charles Myers, board president, and Jerry Kinney, police chief, agreed to immediate reinstatement of O’Brien, Sullivan, Quinette and Brown, and also Strieker, who was ill and unable to attend the trial. Myers, Kinney and Sullivan lieve that if the federal court dia not have sufficient evidence to carry the cases of the other five to the jury it would be needless to attempt trials before the board. However, due to the fact that the other four cases were placed before the jury, it may be the board’s final opinion that the officers should stand a board trial. Those reinstated, including Fred Hague and Noel Stark, who were discharged by the court early in the trial, will receive back pay for the time they were suspended. Stark and Hague returned to the force today. Baltzell Sums Up Evidence “The court is not a juror, nor the jury in this case,” said the judge. "I can not invade their province or consider a case the way they might. Some of the defendants on trial now are charged solely with conspiracy. They have to do something, either directly or circumstantially to enter into a conspiracy. It may be by refusing to do their duty, or doing something along similar lines. “Let us take the case of Sergeant O'Brien. Majours (Negro bootlegger) in his testimony said he didn't know what he paid O’Brien for, but now it has been shown that he bought a car from the policeman. ‘He’s Trying to Tell Truth’ “I couldn’t send O’Brien to jail or punish him on testimony like that. I’ll say that frankly. I don’t feel like doing that. “There are some others. For instance, Orville Quinette is a bright young chap. When his lawyer made a mistake he corrected him.” Baltzell explained that in examining Quinetti his attorney tried to show he stayed in the squad car while other police entered a speakeasy because somebody had to listen to the radio. Quinette corrected his attorney and said that at 6:20 a. m. the radio was not working. “That boy is trying to tell the truthßaltzell said. “Surfhiscs Are Unreasonable” Baltzell pointed out it was unreasonable to suppose that patrolman Thomas Sullivan, after working until 1 a. m., would get up at 5 a. m.. put on his uniform and wain across town to' get a drink of whisky. The government in pleas to the jury by District Attorney George Jeffrey and his assistant. Alex G, Cavins, pointed out the break-down of law enforcement which result® from policemen visiting speakeasies for the purpose of drinking. “Testimony has showfc that for many days there was a continual parade of uniformed men into the place at 843 East Washington street, operated by Chris Vilascboff and Chris Schischoff,” Jeffrey said. “If drinking liquor and failing to arrest known violators does not constitute conspiracy, then I do not know what odes.” Cavins discussed the evidence. Defense Attorneys Joseph T. Markey. Dixson H. Bynum * and Frederick Bonifield discussed and minimized the ctse against VanSickle, Volderauer, Bridwell •fed Hoagland.
