COURTSHIP OF LATTA BARED BY HIS FIANCEE Miss Sanders, on Stand, Tells of Proposals and Acceptance. MET ON OCEAN LINER Evidence in Rebuttal Will Attempt to Reveal Affairs Sound. BY ARCH STEINEL Times SlafT Correspondent DANVILLE, Ind., Nov. 17.—Acquaintance formed aboard a transAtlantic liner in 1927 and succeeding meetings that culminated in propos.al of Will H. Latta to marry Miss Emma Margaret Sanders, Ft. Wayne, were chronicled by Miss Sanders in Hendricks circuit court iierc today. Weeping. Miss Sanders related events of Latta's courtship and introduced letters and wedding announcements that never were mailed, in rebuttal of defense offered by the United States Casualty Company in her suit for *20,000 accident insurance bequeathed her by Latta. who was killed by a train June 12. 1929. five days before their wedding was to have taken place. Miss Sanders said she conducted European tours in 1925. 1926, 1927, and 1928 On the 1927 tour, Latta and Mrs. Amanda Hunt, his mother-in-law. and Miss Mabel Hunt, her daughter, were seated at the same dining table aboard ship. Tells of Proposal He visited her in Ft. Wayne later, and in 1928 began frequent calls on her. In March. 1929, he proposed marriage, but she did not consent, Miss Sanders said. Letters, two and three daily, followed from him. and .April 6, 1929, she agreed to his proposal, she related. Refuting the testimony of William ,T Krieg, Latta's former business associate, indicating Mr. Latta s death was suicide. Miss Sanders cited conversations with the attorney indicating Tie leoked forward hajS-. pily to their approaching marriage. Supporting the theory he killed the motor of his car on the Monon tracks, where he was killed, Miss Sanders told how Mr. Latta almost, invariably killed the motor of the car by drawing too heavily on the choke while starting it. Soon after the death of Joseph A. McGowan, head of the Indianapolis Street Railway Company, while. Miss Sanders said. Mr. Lat’C was being mentioned as McGowan’s successor, Mr. Latta told her: • That job has killed three men and I'm not ready to die yet.” Cite Krieg Conversation On another occasion when they were discussing their future. _ Mr. Latta told her, she testified: “r want to teach you to play as I have played. After Mr. Latta's death, Miss Sanders said she met Krieg at the home of Cecil K. Calvert in Indianapolis and heard Krieg tell her. They have started a report that Mr Latta committed suicide. No one knows better than I how much he loved you. He was the last man on earth to do a thing like that." Krieg testified that in a conversation with Mr. Latta two weeks before his death he said. “My God, what am I going to do? I am engaged to be married and I haven't got the money to do It.” Business Friends to Testify Other rebuttal witnesses will attempt to show that charges of the defense that Mr. Latta mulled over various suicide plans are erroneous and that he was happy as the proverbial lark at the thought of his prospective honeymoon. Friends of Mr. Latta in business circles are expected to testify that his financial affairs, although involved because of a multiplicity of deals, were not unsound as witnesses lor the defense attempted to show. When the Latta will was probated, following his death at grade crossing north of Carmel, it was found that he had provided through trust bequests for a civic center in Indianapolis, a university at Ligonier, Ind.. to bear his name, and endowment of funds to the Indianapolis Conservatory of Music. Provided for Civic Center The trust fund for $56,000 was to be held until the year 3129 when the buildings and university were to be erected in his memory. The will estimated that the $56,000 would accrue $140,000,000 In the 200 years time. Whether the trust fund will be established is dependent on the settlement of the Latta estate. Stocks totaling $91,500 have been sold by the executors and claims of approximately $50,000 have been filed against the estate in the Marion county probate court, $30,000 Policy Already Paid Mr. Latta carried $85,000 In accident insurance at the time of his death. One policy for $30,000 has been paid. Attorneys for a second insurance company are attending the present trial. It is expected a second $30,000 policy held by the company represented by the attorneys will be contested. The case In trial Is expected to reach a jury the latter part of this week.
