LOVE-SLAYING SUSPECT ‘NICE,’ SHERIFF SAYS Mrs. Sandstrom Is Model Prisoner, Asserts Illinois Official. BY FREDERICK G. T'ATSON Times Staff Writer CHARLESTON, 111., June 6. “She’s the nicest prisoner I’ve ever had.” Thus did Mack Cochran, Coles county (111.) sheriff, speak of Mrs. Daisy (Anna) Sandstrom, attractive Indianapolis woman held in the county jail here in connection with the murder of her alleged lover, Carl V. Thompson, 43, assistant sales manager of the Indianapolis Casket Company, found shot to death May 9 in a Mattoon (111.) hotel. “Mrs. Sandstrom is a model prisoner,’* Sheriff Cochran declared. “She is reserved, quiet and clean. Just the nicest prisoner I’ve ever had,” he continued. Stolidly Awaits Arraignment Meanwhile, the alleged confessed killer of her reputed long-time lover languishes in the terrific heat of her third floor cell in the little county jail. It was 107 here yesterday. Smoking occasionally, reading the Indianapolis newspapers daily, Mrs. Sandstrom stolidly awaits her arraignment for first-degree murder here Friday. Trial date has tentatively been set for June 18, according to Sheriff Cochran. The jail, situated across the square from the Coles county courthouse, is an unimposing brick and stone structure that has a capacity of only thirty-five preisoners. Only Adult Prisoner “We have just twelve prisoners here now,” Mr. Cochran told The Times reporter. “Oddly enough, eleven of them are minors, charged with minor crimes. The twelfth, and only adult, is Mrs. Sandstrom.” First to visit her since her incarceration here almost a month ago was her husband and her son John, 15. Accompanied by her attorneys, they have made frequent visits. Arrived Day of Slaying Mrs. Sandstrom arrived in Mattoon the day of the murder, and registered at the U. S. Grant hotel, according to the sheriff. She went to a movie in the afternoon. Coming out of the movie, she saw Mr. Thompson across the street at an undertaking establishment, the sheriff said. “Apparently he was on business, since he was an official of an Indianapolis casket company,” Sheriff Cochran related. Mrs. Sandstrom did not immediately go to him, but returned to the hotel, where she found out that Mr. Thompson had registered there only an hour before. “The trouble started after Thompson got back to the hotel,” Mr. Cochrane declared. “She is a very good prisoner and

has caused us no trouble at all,” he said. “She has had more visitors and more correspondence than any of our prisoners in several years. It’s just too baa this murder had to have happened in Coles county. We haven’t got too good a reputation here anyway.” “But I guess you people in Indiana have your troubles, too,” Sheriff Cochran reflected, good humoredly. “What about the Dillinger doings?” Scouts Plan Installation Installation services for Boy Scout Troop 81 will be held at 7:30 tomorrow night in the Fountain Square Christian church, conducted by F.

The deficiency is 8.94 inches with only 8.56 inches falling during the year. The record, made in September, 1895, 6.8 inches. The average rainfall for all of June is 3.62 inches, normally divided into nine days with falls of slightly more than .4 inches each.
