CONFESSION OF 5 TORTURE MURDERS CLAIMED BY STATE Prisoner in Illinois Jail Bares Guilt of Gangin Brutal Slayings to Extort Hidden Money. THREE COMPANIONS ARE INVOLVED Story Attributed to Captive by Prosecutor Sheds Light on Fiendish Crimes Accompanying Robberies. B V Timm fiprriol NEWTON, 111., Sept. s.—Mild mannered, soft spoken Henry Shelby of Tilton. 111., is dictating a confession today that he is guilty of five torture murders, according to State’s Attorney Homer Kasserman of Jasper county. Shelby, a gray-haired man of 44, is held with Harold L. j Peck of Indianapolis and John Allen of Danville, 111., in con- j nection with the fiendish slaying a week ago of Mrs. Mary Schrader, 82. at the farm home of her brother, Bernard Weldon, 84, near here.

Mrs. Schrader and her daughter, Miss Anna Schrader, 47, were assaulted criminally after three men entered the home. The elder woman and her brother were tortured in an effort to force them to reveal the hiding place of money. Weldon was beaten so badly that for a time it was feared he would die. Implicates Three Others According to Kasserman, the purported confession of Shelby implicates Peck, Allen, and Victor Wright, Robinson, 111., in some of the five torture murders. Wright is suffering from a serious wound in the abdomen as a result of a shot fired last week by a state policeman in Robinson. After being released following questioning in the Schrader murder. Wright became incensed and is said to have attempted to shoot the officer. Chances of life for Wright are about even, according to physicians at a Robinson (111.) hospital, where he is a patient. Kasserman and police of Danville. where Shelby is held, refuse to divulge full details of the purported confession, but it is said Shelby has admitted that one of the crimes was the slaying on March 31 of this year of an aged man named Totat at his Danville home. He also has confessed in the Schrader case, it is said. Heavy Booty Taken The latest development in the Schrader case, brought back memories of the slaying of Mr. and Mrs. James Welch at their home near Marshall. 111.. Dec. 31. 1932. following a robbery in which the loot was reported to have been $15,000 Ugly rumors naming Walter Welch, son of the slaying victims, were followed by his sucide. He left a note stating: •T am innocent of the crime of which I have been accused.” A case which did not terminate fatally, but which netted three bandits about S6OO. was that of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Bogard, who live six miles from the Weldon home. Bogard and his wife were tied to chairs in their home and he was subjected to mistreatment, his beard having been pulled with pliers. S2OO Loot Taken Loot of S2OO was taken from Charles McColvin. farmer, living fourteen miles southwest of Robinson. by four masked men who entered his home July 16. 1932. He was tied to a chair and threatened with death. Questioning of Shelby is continuing and it is expected that full details of the crime he is said to have committed will belater today. Shelby is in custody at Danville, where he was taken Saturday by state police, on his promise that if permitted to visit his sweetheart he would reveal the name of a “mystery man" in the Schrader case. Others in Jail Peck and Allen are in jail here. All the prisoners were taken to Robinson and held for a few days following arrests, and state police guarded the jail and roads leading into the city, due to fear of mob violence. State police continue to guard the Weldon home, where Weldon and Miss Schrader are recovering from injuries, and it is said the vigilance is due to a fear that some member of the supposed torture murder gang plans retaliation upon the brother and the daughter of the slam woman.

2 PER CENT CLUB TO CONTINUE COLLECTION Delay This Month Doesn't Mean Abandonment. Says Greenlee. State employes who havp rt been called upon to contrib’ r 2 per cent to the Hoosier _. nocratic Club this month should not labor under the delusion that such collections have ceased, it was pointed out today by Pleas Greenlee, McNutt secretary. ‘‘We have been a little belated in making the collections this month, but we will be around,'’ Greenlee asserted. Governor Paul V. McNutt ordered incorporation of the club dissolved on the grounds that it may have been illegal, but its plan to collect 2 per cent for Democratic campaign funds goes on nevertheless. Greenlee said. He also defended collections in state institutions on the grounds that contributions are "voluntary" and merely installment payments of the club membership. It is against the law to force institutional employes to contribute, he admitted. BABY SWALLOWS BONE Life of Small Girl Saved by Prompt Treatment at Hospital.

Vermont is the twenty-fifth state to vote and wet leaders expected it to be the twenty-fifth to repudiate national prohibition. Thirteen more states vote between now and Nov. 7. If all are wet, the wets will have thirty-eight states, or two more than necessary to ratify the twenty-first (repeal) amendment.

INDIANAPOLIS, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5,1933

COUNTY BOARD FACES THREAT OF TAXSTRIKE Council Given Demand for Strict Adherence to $1.50 Limit Law. REGISTRATION COST HIT Sum Allotted for Ballot Purposes Is Deemed Far Too High. Beset with a demand for strict adherence to the $1.50 tax levy limit law, on penalty of retaliation in form of a tax strike, the Marion county council adjourned its public hearing at noon today, and retired into private session. Representatives of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board and civic organizations attended the first public hearing on the 1934 budget in the commissioner’s office. A request of $104,000 by County Clerk Glenn B. Ralston for establishing machinery for permanent registration of voters was the individual budget item singled out by the representatives for attack. Amount Held Ridiculous Terming the amount requested “ridiculous,” Miss Florence Kirlin of the Indianapolis League of Women Voters declared that a rate of 15 cents a name should be sufficient for the work, instead of the approximately 50-cent figure estimated by Ralston. William Bosson, civic leader, voiced the threat of a tax strike in which citizens would refuse to pay a levy greater than the $1.50 fixed by law. “If the tax rate is not kept within legal bounds, I can foresee that organized groups will bind themselves to pay no more than $1.50,” Bosson declared. On the basis of requested budgets, for county, school, and city, the revenue to be produced by a $1.50 levy would be less than half the amount necessary. Operation at Deficit In the event that a tax strike, as cited by Bosson, would materialize, and officials of the three units did not reduce expenses at the points demanded, operation of government in Marion county during the last half of 1934 would be at a deficit in addition to the estimated $400,000 for this year, officials said. Warning was served on officials by the real estate board that every means would be used to force compliance with the levy limit law. In a statement read by Lawrence G. Holmes, board secretary, it was pointed out that “our statutes provide penalties for those public officials who refuse to obey and en-. force our laws.” “It is only fair to warn you that we are not going to be parties to lawlessness,” the statement asserted. “We will use the utmost efforts to enforce strict adherence to the $1.50 law.” Action Is Defended Chief objection of the board to the increased levies was given in the statement as placing the burden on property, instead of seeking revenue from other sources. Two county officials defended their actions today after being criticized by tax reduction groups. Charles A. Grossart, county auditor, took opportunity during the public hearing to deny allegation of the Chamber of Commerce civic affairs committee that it had been handicapped" in its investigation for lack of information. Tax rate of $1.31 for 1934 was fixed Monday night by city council, despite demands by the Real Estate Board and Chamber of Commerce for a lower levy. When the council convened to fix the levy and approve a budget of $6,960,539.04, the public was represented by only about a score of persons.

It is claimed that use of natural gas will not reduce amount of In-diana-mined coal used here, and that the company seeks to develop one of Indiana’s natural resources, long dormant, but adequate to supply the entire state with cheap fuel. Proposed rates set out for each 1.000 cubic feet of gas are: First 1.000,000 cubic feet, 50 cents for each 1.000: next 1,000,000 cubic feet, 40 cents: next 1.000.000 feet. 35 cents; (Turn to Page Nine)

President Roosevelt returned to the capital today for two crucial showdowns on the administration’s drive for national recovery.
