DEFENSE ENDS SUDDENLY IN TORCH CASE Holmes Rests After Three Witnesses Are Called for Schroeder. i ConUued from Paco One) within radius of nine mile* of the vicinity of the accident. Floyd Mattice, chief deputy proaccutor, on cross-examination, attempted to sh cm that to bach an auto out of any of the three places, aa Schroeder stated he did .would be “impoaaible” Holmes did not resume examining Haztke at the end of state’s ross-examination. Alienists Give Findings Testimony of alienists, appointed two weeks ago, resulting from a week-end examination of Schroeder at city hospital, was expectedly to decide the Alabaman’s fate. In conference Monday with Baker and attorneys, the alienists were believed to have laid their findings before the judge, with a final disposition of the case In view. Schroeder filed a special plea of insanity to the first-degree murder charge last fall. Shortly before he was brought to trial, prosecutors filed a request for the examination. Baker ordered the examination on the court’s own motion. Spectators believed that Holmes’ mexpected closing of the defense case may have been precipitated by the alienists’ findings. It was understood Holmes was informed of the alienists’ verdict Monday, shortly before the defense case opened. Holmes was understood to have a orief of instructions for reading to Jurors after the alienists’ testimony this afternoon. Filed Insanity Plea Holmes Monday afternoon first moved to require the state to elect on what count of the Indictment Schroeder should base his defense. Baker overruled this, and Holmes retaliated with a motion for peremptory instructions of the Jury to find Schroeder not guilty of the second count in the Indictment. It charged the unknown man died by burning. Holmes was overruled again. The Jury then heard D. E. Sauers, Marshall, HI, garage man, offer testimony that there are ditches five feet deep in the vicinity thirty-five miles west of Terre Haute, where Schroeder says his car plunged Into a ditch, killing his hitch hiker passenger. Two state’s witnesses, including the maintenance engineer of the Illinois highway commission, had testified that there were no ditches more than two feet deep In the vicinity.

SMILIN’ ED SMILES BUT DOES NOT SING Radio Favorite Who Made Sudden Jump to Fame and High Salary Suffers With Laryngitis. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN SMILIN’ ED M’CONNELL, who made a certain sure jump to fiune and fortune by singing, talking and playing the piano over the radio, Is In person at the Lyric this week. He is miles away freon being in form because he made it clear that he was suffering with a bad attack of laryngitis. ‘T am suffering with a severe attack of laryngitis and I can not sing, but I wanted to see you face to face and mug to mug,” he said. Most of his time was spent fingering the piano, telling stories and talking the words of a song. His comedy is natural and he has a sure fire way about him but he is seriously handicapped by not being able to sing. His

personality is strong but the people want to hear him sing. It Is my personal opinion that it is dangerous for him to appear in this condition because the public demands a great deal of their Idols. And I have seen many idols get the cold shoulder after personal appearances. Another thing I do not like Is the use of ‘‘My God" and “Oh God" in his

stories. It might have been a slip, but it was used too often. Another act on the same bill is guilty of this offense. Laryngitis sure is not doing anybody any good this week. The bill as a whole comes under the head of being good and entertaining vaudeville. The show gets a fine start with the acrobatic

I would have had nothing but praise for the hokum work of William T. Jones and A1 W. Rea If they had not made a certain reference to the Diety along the same line that McConnell was guilty. Jones and Rea in their comedy act is a natural. Solid fun with one exception. And that can be corrected in a second.

head sadly as the vote for concurrence carried, 35-2. "I could play a little politics here,” declared Bush, "if you Republicans knew your stuff. It’s Just too bad. You’ve never been to school!” Brown Won’t Vote Perkins moved the senate concur in the conference report and the roll call showed 25 ayes and 8 noes, one vote short of a quorum. Senator Will A. Brown reclined on the steps of the rostrum at the president’s feet, but he would not yield to shouted demands that he vote. And Bush would not msmte him. Again the same thing was attempted, This time Senator Alonzo Lincfley (Rep, Fountain, Vermilion and Warren) was gone. So was Senator Lee J. Hartzell (Rep., Allen), Republican floor leader. Lindley was found stretched out in Bush’s private office. And then the fight began in earnest. Senator Earl Rowley (Rep., La Porte) declared Bush must make the senators stay at their desks and vote “or seventeen of us won’t be here for a quorum.” Deadlock Is Broken “Bring in the absent senators, dead or alive,” shouted Bush, but there was no command to his tone. “If the senate had any respect for the government or people of Indiana, there would be a quorum and business would be done,” Rowley said. Finally, under the lashing of the senators, Bush sent out for the absentees and the conference committee was adopted. It broke the deadlock—one of the most stubborn that statehouse "old timers” can remember. And then came the new tangle. How long, oh, Lord, how long?
