BARRETT FATE TO BE PUT IN HANDS OF JURY Closing Arguments Begun in Trial of Killer of G-Man. (Continued From Page One) in an auto he had stolen somewhere in the southwest on the trip and subsequently sold the stolen car for a handsome profit. Asked to explain his routine nostalgia. Barrett, who murdered his mother and his sister, said that an inexplicable love for his family seized him on each occasion and forced him back into what he described as a danger that made him cold with fear. Near Manchester Many Times The government also proved that in the midst of his feudal fears, Barrett frequently drove stolen cars to a place near the bpltle of Manchester to have the engine numbers changed. The defense did not summon to court either the man who Barrett said changed the numbers on his stolen cars, or the man he said told him on the morning of Aug. 16 that the Manchester “gang” was in Hamilton, 0.. which was his current home. Barrett was on the stand from 10:30 yesterday morning until late yesterday afternoon. Tells of Getting Gun Barrett during the late hours of the trial yesterday told of getting from his trunk the horn-handle re volver with which he later sho* Klein. He wrapped it with a towel and went out to his car, he said. Q —How far did you carry the pistol in your hand? A—Until I approached the car then I shoved it in the top of my pants. Q—How near were you to your car when something attracted your attention? A—Within eight or 10 feet or it. Q —What happened? A—l heard a motor race and 1 saw a long black sedan come down on me with a man on the running board with a drawn automatic. I saw someone across the street with something that looked like a machine gun and I had but one thought—that the men had come to get me. Hides Behind a Tree Q —You ran? A—l ran down the alley. Q—Where did you first come to your'senses enough to know where you were? A—When I saw a tree to hide behind. I heard nothing for a while. As I looked around, I heard a burst of fire, like machine gun fire. I felt a sting in my leg. I reached for my revolver and cocked it. I looked and I saw the man I now know as Klein. He had an automatic shooting all the time. I went down. He said. “I’ve got you now.” I fired after I was down. After the fifth shot he staggered and fell. Shows Wounds to Jury Barrett said that .fter the shooting stopped a woman cried, “Those four government men are killed.” He rolled up his trouser legs and showed the wounds to the jury. As to the confession, he said: “I signed some papers, yes sir!” Nolan took the witness for crossexamination and questioned him closely on events of Aug. 16. Q—Who is this man who met you at breakfast? A—Clarence Bowling. Q—When had you last seen him? A—Two years ago. Q —What was the attachment between you and Frank Baker? A—He was a dear friend. Q—And your friendship grew dearer and dearer? A—Yes. Q—What was the date of the Battle of Manchester? A—There was no battle. Q —Well that's what I'm calling it, Barrett. What was the date? A—Sept. 18, 1932. DISPUTE IS REVIVED IN ELECTION CONTEST Prosecutor to Present Case to Warrick Grand Jury.

Much more can be done with a set of brand-new grown-up chairs than just sitting on them. The Dionne quintuplets soon found that riding them, jockey-like, as one rides a horse, was hilarious. That’s Yvonne at the left, laughingly unconscious that she’s about to be biffed by Marie, while Cccile. Annette and Emilie, in order, proudly exhibit their growing strength.

MODERN GYMS AREJSTIFIED McMurray Writes Article for Magazine on Good of Basketball. The Indiana basketball frenzy has been justified by the construction of modern gymnasiums which may be used for musical, dramatic, health and community programs, Floyd I. McMurray, state public instruction superintendent, stated today. Mr. McMurray stated his views in an article, “Roll Back the Canvas,” in the current issue of the Indiana Parent-Teacher, publication of the Indiana Congress of Parents and Teachers. “Out of the early Indiana basketball frenzy and the local desire to cope with rival communities came the building o£ gymnasiums all over the state—an addition to the school property which otherwise could not have been acquired,” Mr. McMurray said. “School executives no longer recommend the purchase of expensive canvas to protect the basketball shrine from the heels of the community. Gymnasium floors are no longer sacred to the rubber soles of a dozen basketball players. Progressive school men have rolled back the canvas.” HUNTINGTON REFUSED SIO,OOO EXTRA FUNDS $902.97 Allowed for Expenses of Administration, However. Ti e State Tax Board yesterday refused the petition of Huntington city officials for approval of a $lO,000 emergency appropriation and instead allowed a total of $902.97 for city administration expense.

ANTIQUE STATE LAW MAY SPOIL HAMMOND YULE City Workers May Not Be Paid Because Taxes Are Delinquent. Time* Special HAMMOND. Ind . Dec. 7—A century old state law which provides that no public official or emplave shall be compensated so long as his taxes are delinquent, may deprive a number of Hammond city workers of salaries payable before Christmas. Herman Conter, Lake County treasurer, has been called upon by August Riechers, local building and loan association officer, to enforce the statute. Mr. Conter. while intimating he will not take action unless compelled to do so, has admitted that such a request constitutes a command under terms of the early law’. Recently the statute was enforced at East Chicago where Attorney Willard Van Horn succeeding in evicting a city policeman fftim a home on which taxes were unpaid. Mr Conter. in that instance, arranged to deduct a small amount from the officer's pay checks, thus saving him the loss of his entire income. Just how many workers would be affected if the law is invoked, is not known. It was said, however, that time required to check tax duplicates probably would preclude any action before next Friday, the city's pay day. BEECH GROVE BALL CHAIRMAN IS NAMED Verl Pierson to Direct Infantile Paralysis Benefit. Verl Pierson, bailiff of the County Commissioners' court, has accepted appointment as general chairman for Beech Grove of the President's Birthday Ball, to be held Jan. 20.

In 1934 Beech Grove raised S9B, which was turned over to the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation. This year $125 was raised. 70 per cent of which was given to Riley Hospital, and the balance to the Foundation. This is Mr. Pierson's third appointment as chairman.
