PASTOR'S LIFE STORY BARED IN WIDOW'S TRIAL Love for Mathers, $29,000 Policy Prompted Slaying, Says Kelly. HU 1 nttr* /rr„ LEBANON. Ind.. Dec. 11—Intimate details in the life of Gaylord V Saunders, former Wabash Methodist minister, were unfolded in Circuit Court this afternoon during the trial of hts widow, Neoma. 35, on charges of first-degree murder. Mr. Saunders was found shot to death in his automobile on a north side street in Indianapolis last February. Prosecutor John J. Kelly described the slain minister as a brilliant and able student. Defense Counsel Victor Jose characterized him as a drunkard who once threatened to kill his children. Mr. Kelly called the slaying the "most cold-blooded and premeditated murder ever committed in this country,” as he pleaded w’ith the jury in his opening argument to find the black-haired widow guilty of firstdegree murder.

Claims Pair Plotted Slaying ' Wo shall show that Mrs. Saunders plotted the murder because her love for Theodore Mathers and a desire to collect $29,000 insurance on her husband s life,” Mr Kelly said. Mathers. 19. is awaiting trial in this same court on charges of firing the shot which killed the former pastor. Mathers and Saunders were roommates at an Indianapolis embalming school. "Mrs. Saunders and Mathers plotted the murder for three weeks in advance,” the prosecutor charged. "She gave her lover $lO to hire an assassin but he changed his mind, purchased a gun with the money and decided to kill Saunders himself." Traces Pastor's Life Mr. Kelly traced the minister's life from birth to death, explaining how he went to Wabash as pastor of a Methodist church. "He was well loved by his congregation." Mr. Kelly said. "He had always been interested in embalming and decided to resign to attend an embalming school. After he finished he planned to take his wife south because of her health. "Saunders tried for four or five months to resign, but his congregation insisted that he stay. Finally, they accepted the resignation. "At Indianapolis he and Mathers were roommates. They became fast friends and Saunders frequently took Mathers to Wabash with him. Refers to Love Letters "During these visits Mrs. Saunders and Mathers developed a great affection. "We wall show letters between Mrs Saunders and Mathers in which she professed her love for him and urged him to visit her at Wabash. “Then there was a change in Saunders’ life. He began to drink and carouse. Mrs. Saunders wanted to destroy him and gave the money to Mathers."
