POLICE ASSAIL FUNERAL ‘GRAB’ BY CORONER Officers Not Permitted to Notify Relatives of Tragic Deaths, VEHLING MAKES DENIAL County Official Is Taken to task by Undertaker for Statement, by dick miller Dissension between the police department and Coroner Fred W. Vehling flared today, after activities of Vehling in sending bodies of police case victims to his own undertaking establishment had been revealed by The Times. Several officers of the department said they had registered objections previously because Vehling would not permit police to notify relatives and friends of victims of their deaths. Heretofore, it always has been the custom of the police department to notify relatives. But lately, police charged, Vehling or employes of his undertaking establishment, have rushed to homes with word of deaths. According to police, Vehling is doing this to reap greater harvest as coroner by obtaining funeral and burial business for his company. Embalms (n a Hurry The Times Thursday revealed that in many cases Vehling has had bodies of victims embalmed before relatives were informed of the location of the body. The fee charged by Vehling for this is $25. Vehling has handled 265 bodies since he took office, but due to the fact his records are six weeks behind, it is impossible to name the exact number of bodies he has rushed to his establishment at 722 Virginia avenue. City hospital records revealed fifteen bodies had been taken from there, and other records disclosed sixteen bodies had been taken to his place from the scenes of death. Only 108 disposals can be checked. In many instances the bodies are at Vehling’s establishment before relatives can get in touch with the undertaker of their choice. Considers Family’s Feelings The coroner explains he does this out of consideration for the feelings of the family, who wouldn’t want to see the body in the maimed condition in which he found it. Neither is the family supposed to feel the $25 charge Coroner Vehling makes for sparing the bereaved added sorrow! although the morgue in city hospital is equipped to perform the same service, as are all the city’s undertakers. Vehling insists that his aids, one of whom is a deputy coroner, never suggest to relatives of victims that he be allowed to take charge of the burial. Records show that the coroner’s deputies have ordered bodies taken direct to the Vehling establishment, even in city ambulances. Denies Any “Rush Act” Only last Saturday, Leslie O. Clevenger, 1462 North Linwood avenue, assistant funeral director for Vehling, and one of his deputy coroners, obtained the signature of the widow of an accident victim to an order made out on a sheet of Clevenger’s personal stationery, ordering the body prepared for burial by Fred W. Vehling. Clevenger obtained the burial order when he visited the widow’s home to notify her of her husband's death. Vehling vigorously denied that he or his deputies have taken advantage of the excited or prostrated condition of relatives to suggest that the Vehling establishment conduct the funeral. “I can get along just as well as any other undertaker,’’ he commented. Hermann Hits Back Vehling declared the rigidness or intensity of investigations in coroner’s cases is in no way affected by any interest he may have in funerals for victims. Assertion of Vehling that George Hermann, 1722 South East street, undertaker, made a. false statement when the latter charged Vehling with embalming a body without authority of members of the family, today brought condemnation from Hermann. ‘lt's Vehling who is the liar if he attempts to dispute the figures on the clock, and the fact that I have a canceled check that was the subject of threatened litigation,” Hermann declared. “The litigation was threatened until the widow, not wishing notoriety which might make it seem that she was shirking her duties, paid the bill.” According to Hermann, the coroner charged $25 for the embalming, which was completed two hours after the man had been killed in an accident. Sorry If He Is Misunderstood Within the last few days, Vehling has told Th Tunes he “was sorry if the widow misunderstood him, but I remember telling her the body was at my undertaking establishment and it was being prepared for burial.” Vehling, in his denial of unethical practices, pointed out that his predecessors favored certain undertakers, especially in disposal of Negro victims. However, The Times’ Inquiry revealed that Vehling has sent bodies of eighteen of the twenty-six Negro victims to C. M. C. Willis & Son, undertakers, 632 North West street.

2 WIVES, 2 HOMES KEPT UP 12 YEARS BY CITY MECHANIC Child Neglect Charge Reveals Amazing Story of Double Life; Trial Set for April 21. An amazing love tangle, rivaling a 6tory filched from the pages of fiction—two wives, two homes and two children in each home, inside Indianapolis’ city limits, within four miles of each other —was uncovered today by juvenile court authorities.

Give a Garden

Gardening time is here, but hundreds of families, yearning for garden spots of their own, must put aside their hopes, unless owners of vacant lots in the city answer the call. War gardens fed thousands. Peace-time gardens will feed thousands more, in far greater need than they were in the days of T 7 and TB, until the depression lifts. The Times, co-operating with a civic committee, is seeking to bring together the owners of vacant lots and those in need of work who would be glad to plant gardens, to raise produce for their families. Just send in your name and address and state whether you have a vacant lot, giving its location, or whether you wish to tend a garden on one of the lots that will be listed.

LONGWORTH FORTUNE FOUNDED BY TRADE OF 3 STILLS FOR 33 ACRES OF LAND

BY HERBERT LITTLE, United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, April 10.— Nicholas Longworth smiled his way through an arduous life which he refused to endure solemnly. He conquered great obstacles with an urbanity which concealed hard work, and his good fellowship left friends wherever he went. A background of aristocratic forebears did not prevent him from a universal comradeship. His pride in his daughter, his position, his friends, and his music, was that of a connoisseur of life—finding pleasure where he chanced to be. A good song ringing clear was his delight. He found solace in

A letter written to Juvenile Judge John F. Geckler resulted in uncovering the duplicity in which Colwell lived as Thomas C. Colwell with his first wife and as Carleton Thomas Colwell with his pseudo second wife. Investigation showed that Colwell, a mechanic, married the first Mrs. Colwell twenty-one years ago. Two children were born to them, Sherman, 19, and Dorothy, 10. Met Second Mrs. Colwell Twelve years ago he met the second ‘ Mrs.” Colwell in Terre Haute. Questioned by juvenile investigators the second “Mrs.” Colwell is said to have admitted she never had been married to the mechanic. Both women 6aid that Colwell used the excuse of being compelled to take treatments at a sanitarium as reasons for his absences from the homes. “He was such a nice man and they seemed just a normal married couple,” exclaimed surprised neighbors on Oakland avenue today. “Stick by First One” But at the East Forty-ninth street residence, Colwell’s mother, Mrs. Mary Spannagel of Mattoon, 111., met visitors with the declaration that she would “stick by his first wife and his legal one.”. “My son was never much of a hand to talk to me about his affairs. Yes, I made one visit at the home on North Oakland. That was about a year ago. He wanted me to see the little boy. “He never told me anything about the family I was to see. We just talked every-day conversation and he introduced me to this woman that says she is his wife,” Mrs. Spannagle explained. She said she understood that his first wife knew a son had been born to him by another woman. Praises First Wife “I think that’s why he wanted me to go to the house. His first wife is a good, hard-working woman. She’s done everything possible to build up a home here. Why, She’s out working in houses—she works from house to house—today,” she said. At the North Oakland residence a woman, who said she was a friend of the alleged second Mrs. Colwell, told reporters that Mrs. Margaret Colwell had taken her two children, Junior, 11, and Margaret Jane, 19 months old, and gone to her mother’s in Kentucky. Possibility that bigamy charges might be filed against Colwell following the juvenile court hearing dimmed today as the “second wife’s” first statement that she had been married in Terre Haute and had torn up her wedding certifier/ v, was supplanted by the reported ad - mission that she never had been married to Colwell. The two residences of Colwell’s two families are modest structures.

LESLIE TO GET SECRET PENDLETON QUIZ REPORT

WOMAN ADMITS ‘WITCintILUNG Young Wellesley Graduate Slays Aged Spinster, By United Press WILKESBARRE, Pa., April 10.— A confession that she killed aged Minnie E. Dilley, Wellesley graduate, with a ginger-ale bottle and a knife “in self-defense,” was obtained today from 29-year-old Mrs. Frances Thomsen, according to police. “It was her life or mine,” Mrs. Thomsen was quoted as saying in explaining how she had hidden a bread knife in her umbrella and had sought out the 76-year-old spinster recluse. The police had previously obtained a series of letters of Mrs. Thomsen, which, they said, indicated the younger woman was jealous of the older; that Miss Dilley was regarded as dealing in witchcraft and exerting a weird in-* fluence over Mrs. Thomsen’s husband Carl, a lumber salesman. Authorities said Mrs, Thomsen, mother of three children, told them she hitch-hiked from Pittsburgh to Forty Fort, a distance of more than 200 miles, to make friends with Miss Dilley and patch up a quarrel they had more than two years ago. She hitch-hiked back after the killing.

Meanwhile, trustees meeting at the reformatory today are to be told the entire'story by Superintendent A. F. Miles, who has acepted written statements from the officers declaring they are guiltless. This morning Miles interviewed Mr. and Mrs. William Grace of the staff of The Hoosier Observer, monthly publication of Ft. Wayne, which published an interview initiating the charges. Following the interview, Miles said no new proof or charges developed. Mrs. Grace, under her maiden name, Fern McComb. wrote the interview in the Ft. Wayne publication, with Walter Arnold, former prisoner at Pendleton, who made the bribery charges. Arnold, former Ft. Wayne policeman, sentenced in 1926 for stealing Ku-Kluk Klan records, alleged he paid H. A. Allen and Fred Phelps of the reformatory staff for “soft” jobs while he was incarcerated there. Arnold was discharged from the reformatory in July, 1928. Allen and Phelps denied the bribery charges, in written statements to Miles Thursday. The superintendent is inclined to agree with their innocence plea, but stated today he will be willing to listen to any proof or additional charges. “The entire matter will be laid before the trustees,” he said. “This institution’s records are an open book. We have nothing to conceal.” * Allen has twenty-five years of service at the reformatory and is in charge of the clothing department, taking care of dressing prisoners coming in and going out.
