STATE CALLS LAST WITNESS IN TORCH CASE Jack Stump, Detective, to * Wind Up Testimony for Prosecution. ALIENIST VERDICT NEAR Sanity Test Expected to Play Important Part in Schroeder Trial, BY EDWARD C. FULKE State’s last witnesses today summarized events accompanying the grewsome’High School road torch car crime, May 31, as attorneys for Harold Herbert Schroeder, Mobile, leveled guns for a counter-attack in defense of Schroeder’s claim to innocence of the murder of an unknown man. After a morning of cross-exami-nation of one witness, the case was recessed for the noon hour, with city detective Jack Stump on the stand as state’s closing witness. Behind closed doors in the courtroom this morning significant events occurred as alienists made what was believed to be a final judgment on the sanity of the accused man. Confer on Sanity Test Conference of more than a half hour was held in Judge Frank P. Baker’s private chamber at the recess hour, wdth Dr. Charles D. Hume, alienist; Prosecutor Herbert Wilson; Floyd Mattice, chief deputy, and Ira Holmes, Schroeder’s attorney, as conferees. Scientific findings of Dr. Hume and Dr. E. Rogers Smith probably will constitute the most clinching evidence of the case when they take the stand at the close of the defense case to pronounce on Schroeder’s mental capacity. Conferees declined to discuss the subject matter of tire conference, although they indicated important features of the trial had been discussed with the alienists’ findings in view. Wilson, who petitioned for the sanity probe in answer to Schroeder’s special plea of insanity to the first degree murder charge, said after the conference: “I can-not talk.” ' ’ Verdict Kept Secret Baker had instructed alienists to make their verdict known to no one except the presiding judge. As the thirteenth day of his trial began Schroeder greeted’ relatives when he entered the courtroom this morning after a week-end recess. He carried out the usual morning round of kissing and embracing his mother and father. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Schroeder of Clarion, la.; a brother and three sisters and his two sons, Ernest, 9, and Harold Jr., 11. He tussled playfully with the two boys. Verbal fireworks cracked through the session for the first time this morning, as attorneys wrangled over permitting jurors to hear parts of evidence on Schroeder’s grilling after being returned to Indianapolis. Frowsts Holmes’ ‘'Speech” Mattice rose indignantly at one point to protest against Holmes “making a speech to the jury.” Holmes had been cross-examining Clarence Golder, city detective, a participant in the alleged grilling. Holmes had qualified the questioning as “bordering on third degree.” Baker sustained Mattice and admonished Holmes again ,t further alleged “speech making.’ “I’d be glad if defei se counsel would make an issue of t.'e grilling. We want all the facts lain on the table,” Mattice remarked, in a cross-play of words that followed. Golder Is Quizzed Holmes opened the cross-examina-tion and Golder resumed his testifying where it ended at adjournment Friday. Holmes questioned Golder in detail on the condition of roadside ditches near the place thirty-five miles west of Terre Haute, where Schroeder said his car left the road and plunged into a ditch, breaking the unknown man’s neck. After fifteen minutes of questioning on that point, Holmes was halted by Baker and admonished against “taking up a lot of time.” Holmes then asked Golder if he knew that Dr. R. N. Harger, toxicologist at the Indiana university medical school, had made an examination of the torso, finding that it showed no traces of oil being poured on the unknown man’s body before it was set afire. Golder answered “No,” and Mattice rose with an offer to show that Dr. Haxger’s report did “not exclude the possibility of kerosene having been used.” Never Saw Man Holmes objected to the introduction of Dr. Harger’s typewritten report in Dr. Harger’s absence. Baker sustained Holmes. “As far as you know, Golder, you never saw the man alive whose body was "found in Schroeder’s car in Marion county?” Holmes proceeded. ‘No.” Golder answered. Picture of Schroeder standing before the charred torso at the Royster & Askin funeral parlors June 26. shortly after he was captured. was stretched before the jury as Holmes questioned Golder. “Was Schroeder shown that torso at the undertaking establishment?” “He was.” “Was he questioned by detectives while he looked at it?” “He was.” “Did you stay at Schroeder’s side all the time?” Golder was asked. “Yes, all the time.” “You never left the room at all?" ‘Yes. I did; I left the room to smoke.” "Isn’t it a fact, Golder, that yoy (Torn to Page Two)

Drought Ahead Hopi Rain Dance Doomed as Tribe’s Last High Priest Dies.

BY GEORGE D. CRISSEY United Press Staff Corresooadent PHOENIX, Ariz., March 9.—The most colorful of all Indian ceremonies, the snake dances of the Hopi tribe, may pass into the realm of tradition as a result of the death of Chief Harry ShuPel, high priest. Chief Harry, the last of the great priests, died of a stomach ailment at the isolated Hopi village of Walpi, on a mesa in northern Arizona. The ritualistic secrets of the snake dance died with him. The body of the dead chief has been placed, in a sitting position, in a burial pit, but, according to Indian religion, his spirit lives on in Paradise—an Indian heaven which a Hopi believes is located in the vicinity of the Grand Camyon of the Colorado. No more will perspiring braves grasp deadly reptiles in their teeth and plead with the gods to send rain miless there develops a Hopi who is able to bring the snake dance secrets from the spiritual to the physical world. Throughout the ages, the Hopi snake dance has been directed in August of every other year by a chief possessed of certain exclusive information which he passed on to a blood brother. The ceremony is due to be held this year. Chief Harry had no brother and now, probably for the first time in thousands of years, there is no one to lead the snake dance. When the snake dance was held, rattlesnakes were gathered from the desert by the hundreds. No attempt was made to remove the poison sacs and although the snakes were fondled and held in the mouth, no one ever heard of a dance participant being bitten.

HINDU MURDER BAFFLES GSPS Find Headless Body of Student Aiding Police, Bit United Press SACRAMENTO, Cal.', March 9. Baffling oriental mystery confronted police today as they sought to solve the slaying of Sant Ram Fande, 32, Hindu student at the University of California, whose headless body was found iii the Sacramento river.* : Authorities sensed in the crime insidious Hindu revenge, but were balked- on every -hand in attempts to discover the motive. Only the fact that Pande, reputedly the son of wealthy parents in India, was apprehensive of a violent death made possible identification of the body. Clarence Morrill, head of the state bureau of criminal investigation, revealed that two weeks ago Pande insisted that his fingerprints be recorded 'by the bureau because he feared his life would be taken. When the body, weighted down with a heavy tractor wheel, was taken from the river last week, officers despaired of establishing its identity. After he was notified of the death Morrill insisted on heaving for examination skin taken from the finger tips. The microscope showed that Pande’s apprehensions were well founded. Pande’s predecessor in the job of acting as interpreter for police in investigating the series of Hindu murders, now thirteen in all, was shot to death on Feb. 9. Ee‘ was N. Rhan Dami. Some of there Hindu slayings were believed to have' grown out of caste differences, but an inscrutible oriental attitude toward investigators had balked repeated attempts to unravel the crimes.

BY PIERRE FIGEAIRE Ufcitfd Press Staff CorresDondent SIDI-BEL-ABBES, Algeria, March 9.—The most famous fighting unit in the world’s history, the famed French foreign legion, celebrated its first 100th birthday at reveille today with a disregard f orhistorical sentiment which is typical of the battalions which find theirtpleasure and adventure in the sandy wastes of the fringe of civilization. There may have been an extra flourish to the trumpets as the legion buglers sounded off, but officially there was no recognition of the fact that 100 years ago today this famed organization came into being, in Paris, in succession to the Swiss and Hobenioho regiments of professional soldiers, paid off from the service of France in 1830. a a a in the desert of Algeria and Morocco, in the wastes of Syria and in the mountain

HINT EVIDENCE IN KIRKLAND CASEHIDDEN State Charges Doctor for Gary Youth’s Defense With Tampering. INSINUATION IS DENIED Til Go Home Wednesday,’ •Says Boy, Confident of Acquittal^ B-y Timet Special VALPARAISO, Ind., March 9. In a courtroom in snowbound Valparaiso today the trial of Virgil Kirkland for the of Arlene Draves rapidly was nearing its end. Presenation of evidence was concluded as the state called medical experts as rebuttai witnesses, and Judge Grant Crumpacker listed for attorneys and the jury six crimes on which young Kirkland may be found guilty. They are first degree murder, second degree murder, manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter, assault and battery with intent to rape, and simple assault. Denies State’s Change On the stand this morning after attorneys, who Were snowbound, reached Valparaiso after 10 a. m. was Dr. Joseph Springer, Chicago criminologist, Who reiterated statements he made previously that Arlene was not attacked before her death. He testified to having taken tissues from the girl’s body to a Chicago laboratory where they were examined and found to be free from lacerations the state charged existed. Deputy Prosecutor John Underwood sought to inform the jury that Dr. Springer substituted- the tissues actually removed from Arlene’s body with tissues taken from a body in Chicago, but on questioning Dr. Springer denied the substitution. Crowds today dwindled perceptibly from the .mobs that have crammed the courtroom daily, but heavy snow on highways, cold winds, and hazardous driving on slipperv pavements discouraged many who probably would have thronged into the room had the weather been inviting. Underwood to Lead off Arguments were to begin at 1:30 this afternoon, with Underwood leading off for the state. , Judge Crumpacker said he would limit statements to five hours for each Side, although Underwood declared he would'require, no' more than three. Thus Defense Attorneys John Crumpacker, Richard Oldham, Oscar Thiel and Barrett O’Hara probably will be heard and the case should go to the jury before adjournment of court Tuesday. The state definitely closed its case before noon today, bringing to the stand Drs. ,E. S. Jones and Eric Ducoszer, a pathologist from Germany, who for six years has been on the staff of a Hammond hospitail. Dr. Jones testified that he delivered tissues from Arlene’s body to Dr. Ducoszer, who in turn said he found lacerations extending as much as three-quarters of an inch. They were caused by forcible attack, he declared. Kirkland Is Confident “I hope the storm stops because I want it to be nice when I go home Wednesday,” Kirkland said Sunday as he gazed from his cell at the blizzard which, for the first time in more than two weeks, kept overflow crowds away from his trial. Kirkland’s confidence was shared by his attorneys, but * Prosecutor Underwood and his assistants were confident also—confident they would prove Kirkland guilty of at least two of the four counts against him and send him either to the electric chair or to prison for life.

Winter Storm Roars on East After Breaking Mid-West Drought. By United Press CHICAGO, March 9.—The blizzard roared eastward today to dump its load of snow err Michigan and Lake Ontario and leave the middle west to struggle back to normalcy. Twenty-one deaths occurred during the storm in the three states that were hardest hit—lllinois, Indiana and Wisconsin. Indications were that the paralysis caused by the blizzard’ would be lifted by. nightfall. Strong winds continued to pile up huge drifts, but the thousands of workers fighting to force plows through were beginning to get the upper hand. - The total snowfall here was 16.4 inches, , the heaviest in the midwest. Snowfall in Illinois, Indiana and southern Wisconsin ranged from 6 to 12 inches. Indiana Drought Broken Heavy snow and rain of the weekend in Indiana relieved the state drought. Northern and southern Indiana •■■ere hardest hit by the storm. In the north, deep drifts of snow impeded traffic and bound virtually all forms of travel, except railways, which suffered little. In the .south the snow’s of Friday and Saturday turned to rain, until in some portions precipitation was between two and three inches, according to reports received by the United States weather bureau here today. The worst drought in Pike county in fifty years was broken when rain filled dry strip mines and soaked surrounding farms. In the vicinity of Evansville the heaviest rain since September, 1929, was recorded. Rushville suffered from a blizzard that interrupted telephonic and telegraphic communication as well as blocking roads with drifts and fallen utilities poles. In the Marion and Anderson district a snowfall of more than four inches was accompanied by sleet that bore down telephone wires and cut off communication, blocked roads and made all street and highway traffic hazardous. In Logansport and Lafayette today, the weather bureau reported more than six inches of snow blanketed the ground. Several Indiana highways, blocked this morning, wefe expected to be opened this afternoon, according to la state highway commission report.

EXTRA SESSION THREATENS IF LEGISLATURE FAILS TO BREAK BUDGET DEADLOCK Democrats Stand Firm in Senate, Block Suspension of Rules, Halt Passage of Bill, CAUSED BY HIGHWAY FUND SHIFT Move Branded Petty Larceny by Minority; Reprisals Will Result, Is Warning of Republicans. (Early details on pace 2) Deadlock over the budget bill, carrying threat of a special session to secure its passage, was the net result of the senate consideration of the bill by noon today. With thirty-four votes needed suspend the rules and pass the bill in the senate, Democrats remained adamant and vote for suspension was 26 ayes and 22 noes. Republican Senators James J. Nejdl (Lake) and John C. Sherwood' (Lawrence, Martin and Orange) joined with the Democrats in opposing final action.

Reason for the deadlock was the action of the G. 0. P. majority in committee of the whole in taking $12,500,000 in automobile license fees away from the state highway department and putting it into the general fund as a final gesture at reduction of property tax. When the senate reconvened _as committee of the whole this morning and refused to restore the highway fund by reconsidering its action Saturday, which took away the $12,500,000, Democrats served notice of a deadlock. Branded Petty Larceny “There is no use to report this bill to the senate for passage in this shape,” Senator Walter S. Chambers (Dem.. Hancock, Henry and Madison), Democratic floor leader, warned the majority side. “The Democrats here and in the house are not going to stand idly by afld see double taxation imposed on the small property holder and even those without property for the sake of the Standard Oil Company, Bell Telephone Company, and the Insul! utility interests. “This is petty larceny, I wouldn’t dignify it by. calling, it grand larceny.” Defends Chambers’ Stand Senator Alonlzo H. Lindley (Rep.. Fountain, Vermilion and Warren) took the floor to defend Chambers’ position. Nejdl previously had appealed from the decision of the chair in tabling the amendment which would restore the highways fees. The result was one of the outstanding parliamentary battles of the session. Nejdl finally succeeded in making Senator Lee J. Hartzell (Rep., Allen and Noble), president pro tem. who was presiding over the committee of the whole, surrender the gavel to Senator French Clements (Reo., Vanderburg). The latter gaveled through the tabling motion, but Nejdl stuck to his guns and finally secured a division. The motion to table was carried, 24 to 20. Democrats Are Assailed Senator C. Oliver Holmes (Rep., Lakey took the Democrats to task for their challenge to deadlock and declare that reduction of highway funds by taking the automobile license fees was “the deliberate judgment of the majority.” Lindley declared the majority action would be meaningless and that the budget committee could restore the fees to the highway department under the budget law. Vote to arise as committee of the whole and report back to the senate was carried, 27 to 17. During a recess, Holmes declared that the Democrats must “come through” or state aid bills, affecting the southern sections, where democracy always prevails, will not be passed and their schools can not operate. Chambers, however, declared there will be no change in the Demj ccraiic stand and a special session : might be all right after the sena- ! tors returned home and learned what the people, instead of the lobbyists, are demanding. Amendments Again Beaten When the senate received 'the committee report with amendments and recomendation for passage signed by Hartzell, the bill went on second reading and the highway fund restoration amendments again were offered and defeated. An amendment by Senator Ander- ' son Ketchum (Dem., Bartholomew, ; Decatur, Franklin and Union) to limit state highway administration expenditures to $75,000. also was | tabled. When the wale suspension motion, I which would have put the budget bill on final passage, was voted j down, another recess ■was taken and i another unsuccessful effort made to patch up differences and avoid a I deadlock. Democrats may use the bill as a formidable weapon to force their demands on both reapportiomr.ent and income tax measures. The latter has been considered as good as dead, since the session is over at midnight. Committee Reconvenes Senators today reconvened as b committee of the whole to consider “Saturday’s child”—the budget bill which they, amended to take $12,- | 500,000 m automobile fees §-om the state highway department. 1 Small chance of its success was

well known, as a bill providing for just such a cut was defeated overwhelmingly in the Democratic house But the highway budget cut made possible some “pointing with pride,” after the senate had restored budget reductions made by the house, in various department items, a total of $345,352.97. Senate reductions were, but $1,395. Total budget for senate passage today was $63,529,448.97. The $12,500,000 is supposed to represent the amount that will be derived from the sale of automobile licenses. Tire bill defeated in the house had called for diverting all the license fee money from the highway department to the general fund. $17,000,000 for Highways With this money taken away, the state highway, department still would have $17,000,000 from gasoline taxes, it was Said. Both automobile fees and gas tax collections must be based entirely on estimates. Aside from the G. O. P. highway cut gesture, high point of the com mittee of the whole consideration of the budget bill Saturday war. the. spectacle of Senator James J Nejdl (Rep., Lake) fighting for increases of the mansion maintenance fund and emergency contingent fund for Governor Harry G. Leslie Only twenty-four hours previously Governor Leslie had taker the unprecedented action of mounting the senate rostrum and reading a long message vetoing the old-age pension billl. Nejdl had striven for passage of this measure for the last nine years. Turns Other Cheek Yet, when the Governor’s funds were up for consideration, Nejdl turned the other cheek. Asa result the mansion maintenance was restored from $5,000, approved by the house, to SIO,OOO as recommended by the state bud get committee. The emergency contingent fund was booked from SIOO,OOO to $150,000.' The budget committee, bipartisan but appointed by the Governor, had recommended $200,000, which was the amount of the fund the last two years. Drought was the major emer * gency faced by the Leslie admin istration, but not one cent was spent from the $200,000 fund in aiding the drought stricken. The Governor gave but SI,OOO from the fund for the Linton mine disaster, but he managed to spend moet of the total during the fiscal year. The single department cut made by the senators was $1,395 taken from the appellate court, majority of whose members are now Demo crate. The court increase had been voted by the house. Boost Goes Over Senator Walter S. Chamber (Dem„ Hancock, Henry and Mad ison) sought to cut the Govemor'emergency fund from SIOO,OOO to $60,000, but the Nejdl boost was carried instead. Other increases made by the senate were as follows: Supreme court, $2,000; auto list printing, $39,000; tax board investigators, $20,000; industrial board employment commission, $17,00'; Indiana corporation survey continu;ance, $2,500; insurance department, | $4,000; bureau of public printing, j $8,000; board of state charities, $4.000; attendance officer, $9,900; Spanish war veterans encampment, sl,000; deep waterways commission, $20,000; farm colony for feeble mindfd at Butlerville, $35,000; Chicago world's fair commission, $50,000, and deficiency appropriations. §22,95257.
