STEPFATHER ADMITS KILLING WIFE'S BABIES Says He Wired Them to Plowshare and Hurled Them Into Lake. Hu Unit. 'i pm* FLINT, Mich.. Oct. 10.—Bodies of two babies, wired to a plowshare, were taken from Bloat Lake early today. Their stepfather, Fcrrin Rowland, who confessed drowning them because they were a “nuisance," was en route here from St. Louis in custody. The children wore Katherine Woodin, 6, and Virginia, 2 ! j. Rowland was arrested in St. Louis yesterday and allegedly confessed. H<* said he took the children from his home in Harrison, Mich., after his wife—the children's mother—had complained that they were in the way. He told her, he said, he was giving them to a Flint family for adoption. Instead, he confessed, he drowned them. Mrs. Rowland Collapses Mrs. Rowland, held in jail at Harrison since the search f or Rowland was instituted Monday, collapsed when told of his confession. She had insisted her husband had taken her children to a family for adoption. St. Louis police quoted Rowland as followcs: “An estate had been settled and I had come into a little money and the children were annoying my wife. So I told them I w'as going to take them boat riding. “We got into my small truck and drove to the lake. Wc got in the boat and we got out on the lake. I put the wire around their necks and tied it to the plowshare which was in the boat. Then I threw them overboard. Children Made No Outcry “They made no outcry when I put the wire around their necks but they clung hard to the boat. I rocked the boat until they sank and were drowned. “My wife had nothing to do with it. We discussed having them adopted. We wanted to get around more and the children were a nuisance. They held us down. When I took them away I told her I was taking them to Flint, to the family that was going to adopt them.” Last week Rowland’s neighbors told the police the children had disappeared. Questioned, Rowland said he had turned the babies over to a family in Flint. While police checked his history he disappeared. Mrs. Rowland was arrested. A letter for Mrs. Rowland was turned over to police. It was from Rowland, registered under a pseudonym in St. Louis. BRUNO TO APPEAL TO U. S.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

vested in The Federal Savings and Loan Association, Indianapolis, is | expected to result in the return of SSOOO to the institution's pension fund. The attorney general held yesterday, in an opinion to William P. Cosgrove, State Accounts Board ! chief examiner, that the conversion of SSOOO worth of Liberty and Home i Owners L-oan Corporation bonds for investment in the loan association is illegal. Frank S. Clark, president of the | ican association and also vice ; president of the Soldiers’ and Sail--1 ors’ Home trustees board, said the trustees had been awaiting the opinion and that the money will be returned immediately. The investment was made, he | said, because the loan association

securities have a higher yield and in the trustees’ view, were eligible alternative investments because the association is under Federal supervision.
