HINT ORGIES IN I. U. CO-ED QUIZ

Deans Grill Students on Actions at Fraternity House Parties. i:U T imes Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., March 25. Waters of Jordan river on Indiana university's campus rippled with gossipy gusto today as parades oi co-eds and men students treaded paths to offices of deans of men and women. There the students were to explain, as plausible and innocently as they could, what campus grapevine rumor describes as a bacchic brawl, to which prominent ladies of the quadrangles went in cosmestics and silk, and from which they barged heme in taxicabs and tatters. Already many who attended the affair, depicted on invitations as a dance, have survived the fearsome minutes closeted with Miss Agnes E. Wells, dean of women, and C. E. Edmondson, dean of men. Maybe They’re Stuck They have listened to accu tions and open charges of misconduct with wide-eyed surprise, and explained that their delinquency is nothing more than a stool-pigon's myth. That’s their story and they wonder whether they’ll be stuck with it. Summons by Dean Wells of girls who attended that party, and another fraternity dance, sent fear flaming across the campus, from fraternity houses interspersed with Bloomington dwellings to those isolated at the far end of the school’s domain. The dean requested confessions irom those who overstepped convention’s bounds by tripping up stairways to floors above that on which dozens of feet were stepping the jiggling Indiana hop. Receiving none, the girls say, she leveled a charge that those who sought, dark nooks for a sip of what students here substitute for highly chlorated water, had, by so doing, loined the ancient sorority that paraded Caesar's highways, their hair bound with yellow filets. Boys Called In Meanwhile the dean of men was not idle. Members of the chapter were called to confer with him, but their stories differed those which had reached the officials of the university. First action that students traced to the investigation of the party was the disappearance from school and dismissal of a co-ed last week. The second move was the dismissal Monday night of Lillian Bornoff, 18, a freshman, from East Chicago. Missing overnight, Miss Bornoff is at home. Now the ax is poised again, but when it will fail, or upon whom, there is none to predict. Before Dean Edmondson. Tuesday, the majority of the fraternity’s members were called again. The dean declared that there had been no dismissals, and that, while he was investigating the party, to date, there had been no disciplinary measures taken. Rests With Committee Thursday the committee of student affairs is expected to convene, and it rests with that faculty group w hether there will be further, action against students. One member of the fraternity whose members are under the shadow of the university’s discipline emerged from Dean Edmondson's office Tuesday afternoon , visibly worried. "I don’t %no\v what they will do. We hope they won’t take away our chapter charter,” he said. A member of the other organization whose party is questioned, denied any of the insinuations cast upon the fraternity's morals. "I took my sister to the dance. We' saw nothing out of the way,” he said

GROCER FIRES; BANDITDYING Pals Flee; Sinking Robber Confesses Taking Part in Many Holdups. With a bandit near death in city hospital from gunshot wounds and three persons held for questioning, police today sought, to round up a gang to which one shooting and numerous robberies are ascribed. John Sink, 31, confessed member of a gun toting mob that boasts many holdups in the city recently, was shot and wounded, probably fatally, by a grocer after a robbery Tuesday night. Three bandits in a stoic” car parked in front of the grocery operated by Carey Harlan, at 3764 West Washington street, and two entered and held —' taking S2O from a cash register. As they drove away, Harlan ran from the rear of the store with a 38-40 caliber rifle. He poured an angling fire into the car, wounding Sink, the driver. Crashes Into Ditch Half a block away the auto crashed in a ditch, and the trio spread out, running through a field. The rifle emptied, Harlan picked up a service pistol he carried in the war, and pursuing the men, emptied it at them. Sink staggead to the ground, a bullet in his head, another in the abdomen and a third in his right leg. Although physicians at city hospital assured him he could not live, Sink tried to deceive detectives, giving first the alias of Harry Wright. Finally he broke down. "Get my mammy and 111 talk,” he said. Three Are Arrested His mother, Mrs. Bertha Sink, 1042 South Pershing avenue, went to his bedside and Sink told her the gang’s hideout was on West Raymond street. The number he gave did not exist, a police squad found, but on information of Mrs. Sink that it was east rather than west Raymond street, police arrested three persons. They were Ollie Shouse, 19, and his bride of three days, Grace, 17, and Mary Northern, 21. of 1020 East Washington street. Three men are being sought. Before he was given an opiate, Sink narrated a series of robberies since his parole from the state reformatory recently. He has been charged with four crimes and misdemeanors in the last ten years. Blamed for Shooting Police believe the mob is a reorganization of the Bridgewater gang, which W’as broken up after several sensational robberies four years ago. The mob is thought to be responsible for theft of three guns from the Em-Roe Sporting Goods store early Tuesday. The night watchman was slugged with a golf club when he discovered them in the store.

HENLEY TELLS SORDID STORY OF ‘COURTSHIP’ Adjutant-General Sticks to Denial of Marriage, on Witness Stand. DETAILS FIGHT IN AUTO Pair Exchange Slaps in Car When He Resented Accusations. BY BEN STERN Timei Staff Correspondent GREENFIELD, Ind., March 25. . Portraying himself as pursued coni stantly, with accusations that he j i was the father of her "children,”; j Adjutant-General Manford G. Hen- ; ley today testified in his own de- ! i sense asjainst Mrs. Ethel Williams, who charges he is her husband. Henley took the stand early in the | morning session to detail a story of alleged intimacies with Mrs. Henley I and to deny other allegations hurled by her. She appeared in court while Henley was on the stand, after her attorneys had said an attack of appendictis would prevent her presence. Henley said that on two occasions Mrs. Henley said she was going to have a child and that after the alleged marriage she accused him ] of the parenthood of a baby which I she, said v r as in Detroit. They Exchange Slaps He told of an auto ride in August, 1929, on which, he said, she accused him of parental responsibility. "I became furious, probably swore at her, and called her a liar,” Henley testified. “She slapped me when I called her a liar and the car nearly went off the road. I slapped her back.” Defense attorneys then shifted the questioning to Sept. 12, 1929, when, Mrs. Henley charges, the ad-jutant-general married her in Toledo. I “Did you sign this marriage license?’’ Henley was asked. “I did not,” he answered. "It’s not my writing.” He said he signed his name “M. G. Henley,” not “Grant Henley,” as it appeared on the alleged license. Denies He Married Her I ‘“Did you marry her on that day ! ior any other day?” “I did not,” he answered. Henley then related that he was with members of the rifle team the afternoon of the alleged wedding. A picture taken at the camp, in which Henley was included, was introl duced. “Were you intimate with her?”‘ Henley was asked. He replied in the affirmative, giving dates as the latter part of September and the first of October. He told of a trip to Detroit on which, under an assumed name, he and Mrs. Henley stayed in a hotel room, accompanied by her sister. He admitted signing a false I name to the register and said Mrs. 1 Henley acquiesced, saying “lit is all | right with me.” “In April, 1930, she claimed she j i had a baby in Detroit in March 1 under the name of Mayer,” Henley testified. “She accused me of being the father. I never saw the child, which she told be was a crip- ; pie. Later she -asked for S3OO to have an operation on the baby's crippled limb. I had the records searched and could not find anything. i “Then she told me she was going { to name the baby, ‘Davy Lee.’ ” Tells of South Bend Trip Henley estified he offered to take i her, along with attorneys, to De- | troit to see the baby on several ocj casions. “She told me every time that the i baby was sick,” he said. “Then I talked to a woman who said Mrs. Henley was trying to adopt a baby.” This was followed with a visit to South Bend, he testified, when, at the home of Charles Harbison, now living in Indianapolis, Mrs. Henley brought a small baby to Henley. “ ’Here's your baby. It looks like you. doesn’t ?’ ” Henley testified she said. “No, it doesn’t look a bit like me,” Henley said he answered. She asks for SSO to pay Harbison for caring for the baby, Henley testified. Mrs. Henley was called to the stand before Heniey was cross-ex- • amined and denied any relations with him before marriage. When asked if, at any time, she ( wrote tc Henley and accused him, she said, “Absolutely not. I had no : reason to do it.” Greece Celebrates Independence I By United Press * ATHENS, Greece, March 25.

NURSE IS SLAIN; HUNT LEGISLATOR’S RICH SON

By United Press FALL RIVER, Mass., March 25. Elliott R. (Pinky) Hathaway, 23-year-old man-about-town sought as a fugitive from justice, confided to a friend that he "had an argument” with Verna Eloise Russell, 20, shortly before she was slain Tuesday, investigators announced today. Attorney-General Benjamin M. McLyman of Rhode Island, in charge of the inquiry into the petite, blonde student nurse’s death at the hands of a strangler, said that Vernon Victor Galvin, 31, Fall River insurance man, quoted Hathaway as having mentioned the argument.

LIQOOR CASE ‘FIXING’ LAID TO CITY HALL Politician’s Nephew Freed by Jury; Incomplete Evidence Charged, START OFFICIAL PROBE Rum Destroyed, Police Are Silent on Beverage Quality.

Rumor that political pressure from the city hall helped “fix” a liquor case that resulted in acquittal of the defendant by a crim- , inal court jury, was being probed today in an effort to clear up j suspicious circumstances surroundi ing the case. Investigation was started several days ago when Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker wrote letters to Police Chief Jerry Kinney and safety board members suggesting they investigate charges that three policemen “weakened in their testimony” when the case was heard in criminal court. Although Chief Kinney told the safety board Tuesday “there was not sufficient evidence against the officers to warrant charges,” it was learned today by The Times that certain city officials were interested in the case from the start. Nephew of Politician This interest is said to arise from the fact that ths defendant. William Harrington, tried for transportation of liquor, is a nephew of Bernard Kelly, city hall custodian and j Democratic precinct committeeman ! of the Seventh, precinct, Thirteenth I ward. | Kelly, formerly was connected with the city controller’s office, said today “Harrington is my nephew but I haven’t had anything to do with his case.” When told of the connection. Charles R. Myers, safety board president, declared, “I didn’t know the man was a relative of Kelly.” Further Probe Slated Further investigation into the case will be made at a safety board meeting Tuesday when the officers, Jacob Hudgins, Dulin Judd and Alexander Dunwoody, who arrested Harrington, will appear along with deputy prosecutors. The board also has asked Municipal Judge Clifton B. Cameron, who first heard the case and turned it over to the grand jury, to appear and explain what is alleged to have been a mistake in orderng destroyed liquor which could have been used ias evidence in the case. Cameron j dismissed a speeding charge against ! Harrington. High point in charges that testi- j ; mony in the case was weakened,i I hinges on the fact that the police I officers would not tell the jury that j the “liquor was fit for beverage pur- ! poses.” Since the liquor already I had been destroyed, there was no 1 way to obtain this evidence, prose- ■ cutors said. “Don’t Have to Show It” Practice in preceding cases, ac--1 cording to Cameron, has been for the court “to take judicial knowledge that it is intoxicating. They j don’t have to show the liquor when ! the officers testify it was alcohol,” Cameron said. In the Harrington case, the officers said they had smelled it, but would not say in court it was commercial or sugar-grain alcohol. Although, prosecutors charge, the officers told them it was a kind used , for beverage purposes.

| RIDDLE SOLVED j A mos 'll' Andy Did it All The famous team of Freeman Gosden, left, and Charles Corrcll, working like puppets the characters they portrayed in Andy’s recent trial. BY AL R. WILLIAMSON Os the National Broadcasting Cos. Written Especially for NEA Service and The Times. CHICAGO, March 25.—Most every one knows that Charles Correll and Freeman Gosden write all the dialog and portray all the characters in their Amos ’n’ Andy episodes. But until now no one but themselves knew just how they worked to produce the desired voice for each character. The recent breach of promise suit of Madame Queen against Andrew H. Brown, president of the Fresh Air Taxicab Cos., Incorpulated, is a case in point. For weeks both Correll and Gosden worked on each new voice, bringing out just the quality they sought to delineate the character they were to introduce. Then when the time came they were ready.

Those characters that “appeared” at the famous trial, that ended so ingloriously for Madame Queen, were divided as follows: Amos, Lawyer Smith, the judge, Brother Crawford, Lightnin’ and Madam Queen were all played by Gosden, while Corrcll took the parts of Andy, Lawyer Collins and the bailiff, tt r tt ATRIAL scene opens with the bailiff calling for order in the court. In the studio Correll stood between six and eight feet from the back of the microphone. His hand was cupped to his mouth and he called into the air. Thus to the radio listener it sounded as though the bailiff had shouted into a large court room. Gosden in portraying the character of the judge worked about six feet from the side of the microphone, talking in a low, soft, easy tone. To make his voice more im-

MERCURY ON RISE Brief Cold Spell Over, Says Weather Man. Break in the temperature drop that forced the mercury down 16 degrees Tuesday, is expected late today or Thursday, according to the 'weather bureau. High wind and a trace of rain accompanied the weather change. The mercury this morning had climbed back to 39 and weather bureau officials said the cold weather and storm area had passed east of Indiana. Generally fair weather is predicted for Thursday.

pressive he was very deliberate and stood with his head slightly thrown back and his stomach pushed out. In portraying Lawyer Smith. Gosden worked about three feet directly in front of the microphone until during the final argument when his plea became dramatic and he stepped back to five feet. Brother Crawford takes the stand. He is a slight, nervous man, very precise in his speech. Gosden had to play the difficult role of portraying two characters, the prosecuting attorney and the witness for the prosecution, at the same time. To characterize Brother Crawford he sat in an arm chair, pushing himself up and down with his arms as he talked—in other words, bouncing. n tt tt % WHEN Smith asked the witness a question Gosden, as Smith, leaned away from the mike three feet. Before Crawford answered Gosden swerved toward the mike and began his bouncing in the chair. To the radio listener they were two distinct characters. The defense lawyer, Collins, calls Andy to the stand. Now Correll had to impersonate two characters. As Collins he worked about three feet from the microphone, but as Andy he went to within a few inches of the sensitive instrument. Consequently, in the dialog that followed Correll constantly swerved to and from the mike, switching the tone and tempo of his voice to give the correct characterization. Amos is on the stand. Gosden portrayed both Amos and Smith. As Amos he worked back and to one side of the microphone and, as Smith, directly into the mike. He swayed back and forth as he talked, changing his voice as he swung. Lightnin’ also w r as worked by talking a foot away from the microphone in 'a soft, deliberate voice. u tt tt WHEN Madam Queen took the stand there came one of the most dramatic points in the trial. Only once before did Correll and Gosden introduce a woman’s voice in Amos ’n’ Andy episodes. They fought shy of it as long as they could, but their situations worked them into the position of having to put her on the witness stand. A lot of deep thought, hard work and worry went behind these few minutes of dialog. Gosden tested his voice against those of a number of women. He took his position about one foot from the microphone and talked. He took it easy, pitting no apparent effort into the words. At the close of each episode, two disheveled, perspiring young men opened the doors of the studio and leaned back for a relaxing cigaret before they donned their coats to go home for dinner. The legal perfection of the trial amazed even attorneys. Correll and Gosden obtained the actual routine procedure from A. L. Ashby, vicepresident and general counsel of the National Broadcasting Company, and the Chicago firm of Clarence Darrow, Smith, Cronson & Smith. However, the remainder of the legal background they picked up themselves from reading law books and from their general observation in courts and trial accounts from the newspapers.

LINGLE DEATH TRAP PICTURED BY WITNESS •That’s Killer There,’ Says Chef, Pointing Out Leo Brothers. TELLS OF MAN’S FLIGHT Claims He Saw Suspect Loitering Near Subway Before Slaying. BY WILLIAM E. HALLBERG I'nittd Press Staff Corresoondeat CHICAGO, March 25.—The death trap into which Alfred J. Lingle walked last Jure 9 was described at Leo V. Brothers’ murder trial today by Otto Svoboda, a chef and herb tonic salesman. Svoboda, one of the state’s chief I witnesses, testified he was in front of the Chicago public library’ at ; the entrance to the Michigan boulevard pedestrian tunnel where Lingle was killed by a gunman who ! escaped in the crowd. Svoboda said he saw Brothers loitering near the entrance of the subway before the murder and saw him run out after Lingle was shot. The witness pointed out Brothers as the man he saw run from th* entrance of the subway after Lingle was killed. It was the second such identification advanced by the state. ‘That’s He Over There’ Svoboda added that he saw two men loitering near the subway entrance. Later one of them ran from the tunnel, he said, hesitated on gaining the street as if trying to decide which way to go, and then disappeared west in Randolph street. “A policeman started running i after him,” Svoboda said, “but I didn’t see what else happened.” Svoboda declared the man who ran had two peculiar “spots” on the side of his face. At Assistant State's | Attorney C. Wayland Brook's rej quest, the chef pointed out Brothers. “That’s he over there behind that gray-headed man,” Svoboda de- ; clared. “He’s the one I saw at the i entrance waiting, and then run- ! ning away.” Kept in Chicago for Trial Svoboda said he had a job arranged outside Chicago after the Lingle murder, but remained here selling herb tonic because Pat Roche, investigator for the state's attorney's office, “didn’t want me to leave.” Svcboda was asked if he “got any money out of this case.” “Some,” he replied; “not much” He said he made trips to Louisville, Ky„ and Terre Haute, Ind.. “with a guard” to view suspects, and that all his expenses were paid Without a reference to the motive for Lingle’s slaying, the state, through Warren Williams, former Michigan City (Ind.) policeman, pointed out Brothers Tuesday as the man who ran from the tunnel after Lingle was killed. Defense Shakes Evidence Clark Applegate, Kentucky race track follower, was summoned to testify that he and his wife were close behind Lingle, heard the shot fired and saw Brothers turn, toss away a gun, and run from the tunnel. Daniel Mills, cab driver, was called to describe the slayer’s flight through heavy traffic and to identify Brothers as the fugitive. Some of the value of Williams’ testimony was lost when he admitted on cross-examination that ever since the Lingle slaying he has been employed by the state’s attorney’s office as a special investigator in the case and has been naid about $2,000. At the time of the killing he was unemployed. SAFE CBACKERsIiET $2; MISS HUNDREDS Noblesville Mill, Furnace Company Visited by Robbers.
