SMITH BLAST AT ROOSEVELT IRKS SENATORS •Even Baloney Is Pretty Good Food,’ Retort of Norris. WHOLESALE PRICES UP Borah Expected to Come Out in Favor of President. Rli Srripps-Hoirnrd yrtrspnper A Uinnct WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—Alfred E. Smith's attack on the Roosevelt monetary policy today drew no j sympathy from the majority of con- I zrcssional and political leaders, ap- ! parently deepening the political schism in the Democratic party, but daunting the administration not at all. Administration men found in Mr. Smith's statement only a declaration for the policy of deflation which brought the country to its crisis of last. March. Progressive Republicans, including Senators William E. Borah • Idaho', George W. Norris <Neb. and Gerald Nye <N. D), all favorable to price-boosting measures, were heartened by the word from Warm Springs that the Roosevelt policy of gold buying, with other measures already in motion to hold up the internal price structure, was j unchanged. The federal reserve board meanwhile issued its monthly report, dis- , closing that an unseasonal declinej in output by basic industries oc- j curred in October. It showed, however, that factory J employment and pay rolls remained stationary from Sept. 25 to Oct. 15 after a steady six-month advance. A more fundamental index, that of wholesale prices, after falling off in October, increased to 71.7 per cent of the 1926 average in the third week of November. This figure, usually used in figur- i ing dollar purchasing-power, is 20 j per cent above the March low point, j and expresses a dollar worth ap- j proximately $1.40 in goods as compared with the 1926 dollar. A dollar last March bought more than s2l worth of commodities as compared i with 1926. Pretty Good Food' It is said to be the purpose of the ; Roosevelt program to restore the i 1926 level, and then by some device for adjusting value of the dollar,! keep its purchasing power constant, j Senator Borah was expected to make a pronouncement on the Roosevelt policy today. He is understood to favor the President's general policy and has been here studying the situation for several days. Senator Norris, referring to Mr. Smith's caustic characterization of "Baloney dollars" as contrasted to his own idea of gold dollars, commented in equally sarcastic vein: Even baloney is pretty good food for a starving individual." "It’s Terrible Mistake” Senator Duncan Fletcher (Dern.. Fla.) chairman of the banking and currency committee which has been investigating Wall Street, said Mr. Smith was “making a terrible mistake.” "I stand squarely behind President Roosevelt and the program he is following in the nation's money affairs." he said. "Attacks on the program have their foundation in doubt that the President stands for sound money." Senator Pat Harrison <Dem.. Miss), chairman of the finance committee, would not comment, but another party veteran. Senator I Kenneth McKellar tTenn.), said: ' "We are not going to have any baloney money. I am quite sure that j the President has no such intent, j Let's give President Roosevelt a fair chance of dealing with the problems j that are his.” Roosevelt Just Smiles Rii l nitrd Press WARM SPRINGS. Ga.. Nov. 25. Determined to continue his present monetary policy despite criticism. President Roosevelt today carried forward his survey of the nation's entire financial picture with Henry Morgenthau Jr., acting treasury secretary. Mr. Roosevelt merely smiled at a blast by Alfred E. Smith, who called for sound money in a statement that was sprinkled with expressions usually associated with political campaigns, such as “baloney" and "crackpot." The President will conclude his conference with Mr. Morgenthau tomorrow night. It was not expected that the discussions would produce anything more than a clear exposition of the chief executive's ideas for the benefit of Mr. Morgenthau. The little White House made it clear that no change in the monetary policy was even remotely contemplated and that Mr. Smith's attack. like those of Dr. O. M. W. Sprague and James P Warburg, would be ignored by Mr. Roosevelt.

The man was named by Miss Cora Steele. Terre Haute school principal. who was arrested there yesterday following an indictment by the Marion county grand jury. Miss Steele was brought to Indianapolis by A1 Feeney, state safety director, yesterday afternoon and was released early last night on SIO,OOO bond.

‘Distorted Mother Love’ Blamed for Murder by City Alienists
BY ARCH STEIXEI Times Staff Writer MOTHER LOVE, the same love that peeks fondly over a cradle or kisses childish hurts away, put a gun in the hand of Dr. Alice Lindsay Wynekoop and killed her daughter-in-law. Mrs. Rheta Gardner Wynekoop. Indianapolis musician. “The same love that is in every normal family killed that young woman in Chicago, but it was a mother love distorted by jealousy.'' chorus Indianapolis alienists and specialists in mental diseases after examining letters wTitten to Dr. Wynekoop to her son, Earle Wynekoop. and friends. Ir. psychiatry, they call this jealous type of love the "oedipus complex." Dr. Max A. Bahr. superintendent of the Central State hospital for the insane, explains the complex thus: “A child lavishes love on its parents. Adolescence behind, the child grows into manhood or womanhood, and the love for the parent is transierred to the mate in marriage, then to the child of that marriage.

And with the arrival of the checks, totaling $51,196, another memory, that of months and, in some cases, several years of being forced to depend on charity for food baskets, faded. Smiles and cheers greeted Carl Reed, foreman of a group of civil works employes at the Riverside nursery, when he began handing out the checks. The men were taken from poor relief lists Monday and given cash wage jobs. Today’s pay checks were for the first four days work. Other thousands, including many not on relief lists, but badly in need of employment, will be given jobs in the next few days as new projects for their employment are outlined. The checks meant not only anew self-respect for the recipients, but also food, of their own choice; clothing and other necessities for their families. DISTILLERS TO AID IN MAKING LIQUOR RULES Eight Chosen for Conference With Control Committee. Rii United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—A committee of eight distillers was named today to meet with President Roosevelt's alcoholic beverage control committee to attempt compromises on the administration's proposed liquor production limitations and price regulations.
$5,000 bond was located in Cedar Rapids, la., the home of Miss Steele’s brother, Otis Steele, according to Mr. Feeney. At jail here, Miss Steele strenuously objected to submitting to the routine search which follows the admission of ail prisoners. Mrs. Helen Banford, a matron, unloosed Miss Steele’s hair and searched every bit of her clothing. Finally a small package was located, sewed to a slip beneath Miss Steele's corset. Mrs. Banford removed the package and found it contained two SI,OOO bonds and $5lO in money. The bonds were not any missing from the retirement fund. The bonds were traced by Ross Teckemyer, field examiner of the ; state board of accounts, who was a principal witness before the grand i jury. Others appearing in the case were O. H. Griest, former secretary of the fund; H. G. Wells, a fund employe; Charles O. Williams, a fund board member; Thomas C. Howe, a former board member; Robert Hougham. present board secretary, and Mrs. Davis. Miss Steele is believed to have returned to Terre Haute after her release on bond, which was arranged with a surety company by Richard Werneke. Democratic political leader in Terre Haute.
BUT." adds Dr. Bahr. "in some instances, and I belie the murder in Chicago is one of those instances, the love is carried over I to such a degree after the marriage of the child that the maternal or paternal love becomes a ! complex that grows into jealousy at any slight or hurt, to the daughter or son.’’ “It is customary for jealousy to exist between mother and daughter. father and son. and on to mother-in-law and daughter-in- ! law. It is rare that jealousy exists between mother and son, father and daughter. Dr. Bahr. in perusing letters written by Dr. Wynekoop, pointed out the incoherency of one of the missives written to her son. “We have inmates at the CenI tral State hospital with this same mother fixation. They play with dolls In some cases, they live in a world of fantasy." Dr. Bahr said. b a a DR. M. H. FOSTER, with offices 618 Hume-Mansur building, places the slaying causes direct on the rivalry between the doctoi-mother of Earle Wynekoop i and-her daughter-in-law.

ACTS TO SPEED ASSETS 'THAW Home Loan Aid Expected to Free $125,000,000 in Indiana. Speeding up of machinery of the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation will result in the release of approximately $125,000,000 now held in banks and building and loan associations, by the first of the year, E. Kirk McKinney, state manager, announced today. Appraisals will be made as rapidly as possible of mortgage assets | valued at $100,000,000 in building ! and loan associations, $21,000,000 in j restricted state banks, and $4,000,000 | in class B national banks in the !state. Arrival here of R. R. Rennie, special agent from Washington to assist Mr. McKinney, and early appointment of a federal appraiser i will aid materially in handling the large volume of loan applications which must be considered, Mr. McKinney declared. Similar plans are being followed nationally after federal adoption of a program instituted by Mr. McKinney in Indiana, which proved so successful that it was placed in general me,. Under the arrangement, mortgages "frozen” in financial institutions are replaced by bonds of the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation, after an appraisal has fixed value of the mortgaged property. These bonds, in turn, may be used as collateral at 80 per cent value in obtaining cash from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Six loans were approved for the American Trust Company, South Bend, and the Fowler Trust Company, Lafayette. It is reported that about $260,000 will be released from each of these banks by Jan. 1. The Aetna Trust and Savings bank here also is being considered as a recipient of bonds to release i $75,000 assets. More than 100 appraisals have been ordered for three building and loan companies in Shelby ville.

'‘She knew her son unhappily married, discontented. She may even have known of the two other women mentioned as his sw Teethearts. She probably used this to sustain her moral right for the homicide,” says Dr. Foster. “But back of it all was the jealousy and the actual desire to get rid of her daughter-in-law,” Dr. Foster said. “Families have early jealousies and in some members, those jealousies persist through life. I felt Dr. Wynekoop was guilty from the very beginning. Just to look at the letters she wrote convinced me of her instability," Dr. Foster said. BBS WHERE Dr. Bahr offered a possibility that Dr. Wynekoop might not be telling the truth in saying she anesthetized her daughter-in-law after shooting her in order to complete a job that had been botched Dr. Foster seemed to believe that the auburn-haired musician was oblivious that death awaited her as she climbed on the operating table. “It may have been that she merely was summoned for a physical examination, grugged, and

Curious Mingle With Mourners to Catch Glimpse of Slain Girl
HUGE bronze and yellow chrysanthemums, which might have graced the beauty of Rheta Gardner Wynekoop on the concert stage, bowed their heads as if in sorrow this morning while more than 1.000
persons filed slowly past her casket Mingled with friends who had known her when she was a gold-en-haired little girl, associates of j her high school days and fellow j students at musical conservatories in Indianapolis, were curious strangers whose only knowledge of Mrs. Wynekoop were the newspaper accounts of her spectacular murder. Attendants at the funeral par- j lors of Shirley Brothers undertaking establishment. 946 North Illinois street, re-arranged the floral pieces constantly, to make room for additional ones. Seated at each side of the casket was a uniformed policeman, carefully scanning visitors. Two other officers were Stationed at the entrance, to direct the crowd in and out of the building. Two registers were filled with penciled names. The writing of some showed, in the irregular formation of the letters, the emotional strain under which they were recorded. The line of onlookers stretched from the casket to the entrance doors of the funeral parlors almost all morning. One young blond girl stood for several minutes before the casket, viewing each detail. She turned j to leave, hesitated, and came back. With a dazed look at her com- ! panion she said, "Just last week j she was alive." A young music student, carry- ! ing her portfolio in her hand, ; hurried from the building to her lesson after viewing the body. And at the door of the parlor in which the body lay was a tiny card. It read “At Rest—Rheta G. Wynekoop." AID FOR SUBURBAN , HOME OWNERS SEEN Edge-of-Town Dwellers May Get Federal Loan Help.

then killed,” Dr. Foster reasoned. A third city alienist pointed out sections of a letter, written to a friend in Washington by Dr. Wynekoop telling of conversations which she had had with her dead husband, as reason for belief that the woman physician was psychopathic by nature. “I’m always pretty suspicious when an educated person, and more so a doctor, turns to another world in thought. You see, we’re ordinarily pretty practical-minded people," the alienist said. B B B “T TER psychology was that of fl' things are so bad and I just can't let them get worse for my son, so I'll end it.’ And then the murder of her daughter-in-law’ followed," it was explained by the city doctor. “Upon the basis of letters printed in the papers. I'd say they would be pretty hard evidence to down in a sanity hearing,” he concluded. In turn, one city alienist believes there is a possibility that the letters found by Chicago police in the Wynekoop residences

‘We, the Jury, Find —’ Lothario’s Girl Friends Slouch Carelessly by as Dramatic Verdict Is Returned. BY FREDERICK G. MATSON Times Staff Writer CHICAGO, Nov. 25.—Six men filed out of the city morgue into a room for deliberations as to who killed Rheta Gardner Wynekoop, yesterday afternoon. Behind a glass door in a neighboring room six people, who knew the beautiful musician or who were involved in her life, waited for ten minutes until those six men, from offices and laboring gang, brought in a verdict, "Dr. Alice Lindsay Wynekoop, charged with first degree murder.” |
In the morgue newspapermen hurried to telephones. Flashlights boomed. Behind the glass door Mis Enid Hennessey, lodger in the Wynekoop home, bowed her head and cried convulsively. Behind the door Earle Wynekoop, hair askew and eyes wan, stood against a wall with one foot hooked in a chair for support. Talking to him, beating upon his shoulders in futile desperation, with tears coursing through pale rouge tints on cheeks, was Dr. Catherine Wynekoop, his sister. Her black fur coat moved with her pleading hands. Her halfveil on a black hat swung with the nervous shakes of her head at the words that slipped from the jawtight corners of her brother’s mouth. Outside the glass door, in the morgue, detectives milled with news photographers. a u n BUT in a far corner of the room behind the glass door, love that is nonchalant, undaunted by notoriety, flaunted crossed legs,

Heart Still Beating at Time Bullet Was Fired Into Back, Toxicologists Rule in Strange Murder. MOTHER-IN-LAW PLACED IN JAIL Police Battle Desperately to Pin Enough Evidence on Husband to Hold Him in Their Custody. By United Press CHICAGO, Nov. 25.—Rheta Wynekoop, talented Indianapolis musician, died of a gunshot wound rather than from the effects of chloroform, it was held this afternoon in ' a medical report to the county coroner. A clot of blood found in the stomach of the victim of j the strange murder mystery led Toxicologist James Dwyer and Dr. Clarence W. Muehlbarger to believe that Rheta’s heart still was beating at the time she was shot in the hack. They reported the clot probably passed through the esophoegus to the stomach. On the basis of the finding. Deputy Coroner S. L. Tolanowski announced the report would he that the girl died of
.shock ana hemorrhage. The finding was in contrast to the “confession” of Dr. Alice Wynekoop, mother-in-law of the victim, that the bullet was fired after death had come by chloroform. A heavy trace of mercury was found in the girl’s kidneys, the report said. A faint trace of mercury was reported in the liver. Shortly before the report. Dr. Wynekoop was taken out of the hands of police investigators and sent to the county jail. At the same time Judge Joseph B. David, told state’s attorneys that formal charges must be filed against Earle Wynekoop. husband of the dead girl and son of the elderly physician, or he would be released. Action on a writ of habeas corpus for the young husband was continued until • that time. The elderly Dr. Wynekoop. subjected to an almost continuous barrage of questions since the death of he; - young daughter-in-law Tuesday, was helped into court by her at-

torney, Prank Tyrrell, and another son. Walker Wynekoop. She still maintained, however, the stoical calm which has carried her through nights and days of nerve wracking cross-eaxmination. In the courtroom she met her son Earle, who has termed her signed confession that his wife died under her hands a “pack of lies.” They clasped hands across a table and Earle burst into tears. The court's action was fought bitterly by police and Charles F, Dougherty, assistant state’s attorney. Dougherty said that investigators believe that Dr. Wynekoop's statement that Rheta died from an overdose of chloroform and that a shot fired into her body was only an attempt to make the death appear the work of a marauder, was false. Must Find Evidence Dougherty said that he did not wish to file a charge against Earle. An attempt to prove that Dr. Wynekoop and her son conspired ' to slay the girl was dealt a severe blow by Dr. Wynekoop’s confession yesterday, and police have been unable to shake his testimony that he was in or near Peoria, 111., at the time she died. ‘‘You'll have to charge him with something.” retorted Judge David. “The court wants to help the police, but you can’t hold a person willynilly.” In a few remaining hours, therefore, the investigators were given the task of discovering new evidence which two days of continuous questioning of the youth has failed to develop. In the early morning hours detectives removed Enid Hennessey, school teacher who roomed with the Wvnekoops, from the family home to take her “to stay with friends.” Miss Hennessey is considered an important witness. Dr. Wynekoop confessed that she fired a shot into her daughter-in-law's body, but only after the girl was dead. Rheta, she said, died from an overdose of chloroform while submitting to a medical examination in her operating room. She was treating the girl for a pain in her side. Rheta wanted an anesthetic, she said, and even poured some of the chloroform on a sponge herself. Dr. Wynekoop then noticed that respiration had ceased and “on an impulse” she snatched a revolver from her desk and shot her patient through the heart, her confession said. Jury Returns Verdict She described her motive as the method to “ease the situation best of all.” This statement had been obtained after police told the mother that Earle had confessed to having killed his wife to save his mother. Charles S. Dagherty, assistant state’s attorney, and Coroner Frank J. Walsh immediately reconvened a coroner's jury and presented the mother's admission of having been in the room when Rheta died. They blocked attempts to introduce the physician's full statement. The jury returned a verdict reading: “We, the jury, find that Rheta Gardner Wynekoop came to her death on Nov. 21 about the hour of 3 p. m. in the basement of her home at 3406 West Monroe street, as the result of shock and hemorrhage from a bullet fired in her back. We recommend that Dr. Alice Lindsay Wynekoop be held to the grand jury on a charge of murder for the death and that her accomplices, if any, be arrested and held on a similar charge.” “Scratch on Surface” Far from satisfied, however, was supervising Captain John Stege, I dogged police investigator, who claimed that/ investigators have ; "only scratched the surface of this case” thus far. Stege said he intended to maintain the pressure on the witnesses until he had delved into all the background and “possible motives” in the case.
