‘DETAIL' MAY TRAP KILLER OFFARM PAIR Many Fingerprints Left at Scene of Murder; Clews Point to Nephew. By Time Special HARTFORD CITY, Ind., Nov. 15. —The “eye for detail” with which < *’the slayer of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Moore set the stage for the murder of the elderly farm couple Friday night near Pennville, may lead to his undoing. While Prosecutor James R. Emswiller and Sheriff Ira Mannix were en route to Virginia, Minn., to question John Moore, nephew of the slain couple, on his movements the day of the murder, officials here were endeavoring to trace the large number of fingerprints found at the farmhouse. * John Moore, arrested in the Minnesota city with a woman police say is his wife, stubbornly has refused to talk. The pair were arrested in Minnesota as they alighted from a bus from Chicago. Left Many Fingerprints Care with which the murderer sought to leave the impression the Moore premises were deserted the day of the crime led to the leaving of numerous fingerprints. After the killings, he lowered all window blinds, locked the doors and then took the car from the garage, locking it behind him. While Emswiller and Mannix were **, on their way to Minnesota to question Moore, officials here in charge of the case gathered circumstantial evidence tending to incriminate the nephew. Held in Jail are two men, Morris Finch, 56, Radnor, 0., and W. F. Moore, 48, Bay City, Mich., who told officers they came here Thursday night from Ft. Wayne with a young man whose description answers that of the nephew. Officers said the pair quoted their companion as saying he was on his way to Pennville to get some money and an automobile. The missing Moore automobile has been found abandoned near Whiting, but the gun stolen from the farmhouse was not left in it. * Young Moore formerly lived with his uncle and aunt, but left after a quarrel with them over his relations with the Minnesota woman, with whom he was arrested. Minnesota officials said Moore had a number of bank notes of Muncie and Marion banks when arrested. Prints to Be Sought Hartford City officers said today they have been informed reliably that John Moore was in Hartford City the day before the crime was discovered. f Fingerprints found scattered about the Moore farmhouse were taken by Vernon Shields, fingerprint expert of the state bureau of criminal identification. An investigation was conducted by E. I. Osborne, head of the bureau. John Moore is reported to have served a sentence in the Indiana state reformatory for forgery and it is believed his prints are on file for comparison. If not, fingerprints will be sent from Minnesota for a check. GOVERNOR CALMS FEARS OF BANK DEPOSITORS No Danger to Any Outside Closed Chain, Murray Tells Oklahoma. K*ißy United Preen OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 15. Closing of six Oklahoma banks, four national and two state institutions, has brought forth a statement from Governor William H. Murray that "depositors outside the Douglas chain need feel no uneasiness." The banks, members of a chain of twenty-eight controlled by H. T. Douglas, failed to open for business this morning. They have combined deposits of more than $3,000,000. The Shawnee National was the largest to close. \ “I can assure the public that jhere is no danger for any banks outside the direct chain of the Shawnee National,” the Governor said. S f Ate Bank Commissioner W. J. Barnett said he already had formulated a plan to open the state banks under a moratorium scheme. Closing of the Shawnee bank, parent of the chain, was said to be due to the fact that creditors of Douglas foreclosed on him last week for $1,250,000. HOSPITAL PATIENTS GAIN 98 More at I. V. Institutions in October Than in 1931. Increase of ninety-eight in number of patients treated during October by Indiana university hospitals as compared to the same period last year, was reported today by Dr. E. T. Thompson, administrator. Os a total of 2,078 patients served. 1.007 were treated at the James Whitcomb Riley hospital for children. Robert W. Long hospital cared for 596 persons, and the staff of the William H. Coleman hospital treated 475 patients.

150 MINERS TO GET JOBS, JUDGE IS TOLD Immediate Employment Indicated When Receiver Is Named. Immediate employment of 150 men in the mine of the Big Vein Coal Company of Buckskin. Gibson county, was assured today in federal court when Judge Robert C. Baltzell named a receiver for the firm. Although in financial difficulty, it is said the company has several large orders for coal, including one for 7,000 tons for the Big Four railroad. Attorneys told the court that under a receivership the mine can be operated, and suggested that course rather than throwing the company into bankruptcy immediately. David Ingalls, Evansville mine operator, was named receiver. Receivership was sought by the Roberts & Schaefer Company, a Chicago mine engineering and construction firm. It was suggested to the court that David Ingalls, Evansville mine operator, be appointed receiver and that Warren R. Roberts of the Chicago firm be appointed co-re-ceiver.

WAR ON SEWER TAXIS FUTILE Judge Sustains City in Pleasant Run Case. Attempt of property owners to escape assessments on the Pleasant Run ma n interceptor sewer proved futile today after five years of fighting in circuit court. Judge Harry O. Chamberlin sustained the city’s demurrer to a suit by Saul Munter, southside property owner. If Munter's plea had been upheld,

it would have released hundreds of property owners from obligations on the project which originally cost $634,000. Circuit court, in 1929, held the original assessment too high, ordering a 60 per cent reduction which property owners accepted. The sewer drains land both inside and outside the corporation limits from Arlington avenue to Garfield park. Munter sought to escape the 40 per cent assessment by charging that the law, under which the sewer was constructed is unconstitutional. He also charged his lands had not been benefited in proportion to costs assessed. The works' board adopted a resolution for construction of the project in March, 1927.
