BREMER KIDNAPERS ACTIVE IN INDIANA; BANK RAID FEARED Arthur (Doc) Barker and Alvin Karpis, Two of Nation’s Most Dangerous Outlaws, Extend Underworld Reign. FORMER DILLINGER PALS HUNTED Lack of Newspaper Publicity Enables Pair to Elude Law Despite Many Crimes Charged Against Them. • Pirtarr* on f>|r Si BV TRISTRAM COFFIN Time* Staff Writer Arthur R. (Doc) Barker and Alvin Karpis, whose combined criminal cunning has organized an underworld corridor stretching from St. Paul, Minn., into Texas, have extended their activities into Indiana, The Indianapolis Times learned today from a thoroughly reliable source. Wanted in connection with the kidnaping of Edward G. Bremer, St. Paul banker, last July, the two are regarded by the government as the most dangerous pair of criminals still at large.

Although their careers include cold blooded murder and jail breaking, the two have not l>een mentioned in the colorful public legends of such blustering figures as George (Baby Face) Nelson and the late John Dillinger. While the faces of many outlaws have been so familiar to the public that many important tips have been relayed to federal agents, Karpis and Barker are little known outside of Oklahoma and Minnesota. Thus they are able to come and go with relative safety, it was pointed out. Dreading the ominous quiet with which Karpis and Barker have been operating in the last few months, authorities fear another vicious kidnaping or bank robbery. Another alleged member of the gang. Dr. Joseph P Moran, has relatives living in southern Indiana. He also is wanted for questioning in connection with the Bremer kidnaping. Barker Is Clang leader Barker, the acknowledged leader of the gang, is a short, slight man with two-flesh-colored moles on his right cheek and one on his left cheek. He has black hair and brown eyes. His criminal record includes murder, two jail breaks, bank robbery and theft. He came originally from Oklahoma and uses the aliases of Doc Barker, Bob Barker and Claude Dale. He is 34 years old. Karpis is five feet nine inches, slender and has brown hair, blue eyes and a fair complexion. He has a one-inch scar on the lower knuckle of the left index finger. He is 25 and came originally from Kansas. His criminal record includes jail break, safe blowing and burglary. Karpis uses the aliases of A. Carter, Raymond Hadley. George Haller. Alvin Korpis. Earl Peel. George Dunn. R. E. Hamilton and Ray Hunter. Moran Is 38. five feet ten inches. 155 pounds and has chestnut sandy hair, yellow dark slate eyes, light complexion and eyebrows slightly connected. He is a parole violator from Illinois state penitentiary. He has practiced medicine.

o. S. Aget*'. s Press Hunt The department of justice, division of investigation, will be only too glad to receive information about these men. Other key men in the gang are Fred Barker, a brother of Arthur, and Volney Davis. This same gang aided Dillinger when he came to St. Paul after Chicago became “too hot” for him. Having important connections with the entire loosely-knit underworld, Karpis. and Barker introduced Nelson and some St. Paul hoodlums to Dillinger. Karpis and Barker are indirectly concerned with the Kansas Cuy massacre and the freeing of several desperate criminals from Leavenworth prison. When the Toughy gang was broken up by the government, a few of its members filtered into the rule of Karpis and Barker. The KarpisBarker mob then took over control of a large part of the Chicago underworld. Ruthless Outburst Awaited With the Bremer ransom money almost exhausted, the gang soon will be in need of additional funds That is why the authorities fear another rutpless burst of crime. The fact that they have been making connections in Indiana, once terrorized by Dillinger. is another cause for alarm. Many criminals are apprehended by persons who happened to notice that shades in an apartment always were drawn or that the activities of their neighbors were eccentric. Tracing down every- tip. police often have been able to come upon the hot trail of a fugitive outlaw.

HIBISCUS JURY DISAGREES IN SLAYING TRIAL Killer to Get New Trial; 7*5 for Acquittal Is Vote. II ’) United Prrss WOODLAND, Cal.. Nov. 10.—The • unwritten law.” which from almost the dawn of creation has held that a man is justified in killing his wife’s paramour, brought the “white hibiscus” slaying trial to an end today without a verdict. Judge Neal Chalmer Tuesday will set the date for anew trial. The stalemate which resulted in discharge of the jury was due, it was learned, to the insistence of a middle-aged farmer and a housewife that Judson C. Doke should not be punished for slaying Lamar Hollingshead, poet-lover of Doke’s pretty wife. From the first ballot through nine succeeding polls of the jury of eight men and four women, Mrs. Virginia Sanders of Davis, Cal., and Frank Fenocchio of Westgate, Cal., held out for acquittal. Mrs. Grace Bender, youngest and prettiest of the women jurors, revealed. Women Favor Acquittal The four women on the jury stood steadfast for acquittal from the very first minute of the thirty hours of deliberation. Three of the men joined them. When the jury finally gave up trying to reach an agreemen last night it stood seven to five for freeing Doke. “I myself felt Doke was justified,” said Mrs. Bender. “But I didn’t want him to go entirely free. Most of us felt that way, but we were afraid to vote for any kind of conviction because we didn’t want him to go to prison for life. We just felt he should be punished some other way.” Grover C. Grady, foreman of the jury, led the faction of five men who stood as steadfastly for conviction as the four women and Fenocchio had stood for acquittal. “After all, Doke pulled the trigger, the gun went off, and Hollingshead was killed,” Grady said. “Under the judge's instructions that was murder.” Defense Claims Victory Sidney Leathers, young juror who supported Gray’s contentions, said he felt that “Doke is as guilty as hell.” The defense and its supporters regarded the jury disagreement as a victory and as an indication that in anew trial Doke would be acquitted. Prosecutor C. C. McDonald, who in no uncertain terms had demanded Doke’s death, visibly was disappointed. Hollingshead’s three brothers —constant attendants at the trial—were absent when the jury came in last night. They were quoted as saying that Doke had not shown their brother the same mercy “the jury showed him.’* Doke broke into the first smile he has displayed through nine days in the courtroom when the jury reported its disagreement. “I am confident I will be acquitted next time,” he said. From the seclusion in which she has been since the trial opened, Mrs. Helen Louise Doke. the slain poet's paramour, sent word that she, too, is confident “there will be only one outcome in anew trial,” and that her husband's freedom.

HARLOW'S MATE SLAIN.IS HINT Gardener Tells Probers of Finding Bloodstains on Steps. />■)/ United Press LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10.—District attorney records embodying the theory of a minor witness that Paul Bern, second husband of Jean Harlow, was murdered were before the county grand jury today in its investigation of the official expenditures of District Attorney Buron Fitts. While grand jurors reiterated they were not concerned with the police investigation which ascribed Bern’s death to suicide, Mr. Fitts released several heretofore unpublished records in the case, including a statement that questioned the authenticity of a suicide note found beside the body. The statement was accredited to Irene Harrison, Mr. Bern’s secretary, who said the handwriting did not appear to be Bern’s. Investigators, Mr. Fitts said, were convinced of the note’s authenticity only after tests by handwriting experts who agreed Mr. Bern wrote it. The sole witness who clung to a murder theory, it was said, was Mr. Bern’s gardener, Earl Davis, who said: “He had no reason to commit suicide. I have thought it was murder from the very beginning.” He testified he had found a few drops of blood on the steps leading to the house and had washed them off. Detectives at the time dismissed the reported blood stains as those left by a cut finger. The gardener had told of finding a broken cognac bottle in the yard.
