TORCH TRIAL IS 'WASHOUT' FOR TWO CHILDREN Rather Be Home and Play, Verdict of Alleged Killer's Sons. BY ARCH BTEINEL The trial of Harold Herbert Schroeder, alleged torch killer, may be mental T-bones for the morbid and a fast of wits for attorneys, but tt's Just a cross-word puzzle and a pain in the neck for the Schroeder children. Daily with the opening of court, Harold Schroeder, 11, and Ernest Schroeder, 9, file singly with relatives to kiss and be kissed by “Papa" ■Schroeder and then take their scats in "family row.” Three days this hearth rug of the Schroeder home has been unrolled ,n court for spectators and Ernest •Schroeder is tired and “wants to go home.” Could Play Then 'ld rather be at home than here. T could play then,” says the boy. And a few moments later, while court attaches looked on, he put on his gray overcoat, adjusted his tortoise-shell glasses, and, striding to his father’s side, gave him a rebounding boyish kiss and said, "Papa, 1 want to go.” “Papa” Schroeder patted him on ’the shoulder and smiled. Prospective juroro smiled. But smiles didn’t suffice for Ernest. He “egged” relatives until he was taken from tho courtroom while Harold Jr., a proverbial “chip off the block,” ignored the trial scene for an intricate cross-word puzzle. Candy Moral Support "Do you know why your daddy’s here?” Harold was asked. “Uh-huh—and I'm going to take him home with me. He played with us lots. We used to play checkers together. Sometimes he beat me at checkers and sometimes I peat him,” he said reticently, as his eyes strayed from the newspaper puzzle to the cartoons. The antics of “Boots and Her Buddies” proved of more interest than the examination of veniremen. The proffer of kisses and sacks of candy to “Papa” is the only moral support the Schroeder youths can offer on behalf of boydom and they make these proffers with frequency. Eye Shot Out Ernest’s left eye was shot out by an arrow from a bow in the hands of Harold Jr. He wears a glass eye. “We were playing cowboy and Indian back home in Mobile,” Junior says, in explaining the accident, “and I was the Indian. The arrow 1 shot hit my brother. It made me feel bad. I felt like I do here with my napa.” Then leg akimbo on his chair he forgot the courtroom scene in his effort, to figure out the word for ■'printer's measure” that will go into two squares of a cross-word puzzle. while squares away newspaper linotypes battered out the answer for him as they dropped “cn” quads in setting the story about his “papa.” Burglars Get $1,165 By Times Special HUNTINGTON, Ind„ Feb. 26.

BANK BANDITS KIDNAP COPS Nebraska Officers Found After Being Held All Night. By United Press HEBRON, Neb., Feb. 26.—Search for a bandit gang which robbed the Hastings National bank Wednesday, then shot their way to freedom through a posse which surrounded them Wednesday night, kidnaping two officers as they went, centered today around this little town. Robert Hendricks, Hastings, under suspicion as a member of the gang, was under arrest here, near death from two bullet wounds. Ten men, under Volcott Condit, surrounded the gang in a house near Hastings. Condit was shot down as the men escaped, receiving a bullet through the side. His condition was not believed dangerous. Officers Frank Yettman and William Woods, who were captured, were found uninjured this morning. Woods had been tied to a pole near Belvidere, Neb. Hope Florist Fined By 'Times Special COLUMBUS, Ind., Feb. 26.—John Miller, Hope florist, arrested on a charge of intoxication, w r as arraigned in Bartholomew circuit court here before Judge Charles S.

ROWBOTTOM TO FACE FEDERAL COURT FRIDAY 200 Other Persons Also Are to Be Arraigned Before Judge Baltzell. Harry E. Rowbottom, Evansville, Republican congressman from the First Indiana district, indicted on nine counts for alleged “sale” of postal appointments, will be arraigned in federal court Friday. He is charged with accepting $1,750 in trade for patronage. Along w f ith Rowbottom, approximately 200 other persons named in 135 indictments returned by the federal grand jury, will appear before Judge Robert C. Baltzell to make pleas on liquor, narcotic and theft charges. Whether Rowbottom will plead guilty to charges of accepting bribes that led to dismissal of four southern Indiana postmasters and a rural mail carrier is a matter of conjecture. If a plea of not guilty is entered, he probably will be tried at Evansville about April 13. Five persons named as recipients of Rowbotttom’s influence have not been indicted and will testify for the state in case of a trial. Rowbottom probably will be represented by his attorney, Philip C. Gould of Evansville. Rowbottom has been free under SIO,OOO bond since his arrest in Evansville several weeks ago. He is married and father of one child.

DUVALL FEARS 3-YEAR TERM ON UNPAID FINE Former Mayor Thinks About SI,OOO That Is Due as He ‘Messes Around.’ It may be a lonesome road that John L. Duvall, ex-mayor, looked down today. And that is worrying the former city executive as he ambled about m the “big room” at the county jail today and mumbled a conversation with Sheriff (Buck) Sumner and a newspaper man. “I’ll get out March 5 if—,” Duvall hesitated. “ —if someone gets that SI,OOO fine together. If not, then it's three years in this place.” Duvall is serving thirty dfiys for violation of the corrupt practices act after a three-year court battle. The SI,OOO fine must be worked

out at $1 a day If it hasn’t been paid by the time the sentence expires. Duvall is gaining weight and seemed to be yet partly asleep as he talked. “I don't do much, just mess! around,” he said. “I sweep now and then, but mostly mess around. “I'm getting along all right, I guess. The food doesn't- agree with me, but I can’t complain. Gosh, I'd like to get out and walk around a little. I need the exercise.” “We’ll extend you every courtesy but letting you out,” Sumner said. “We didn’t invite you here, John.” “Yeah, I know; but the atmo-
