CHILD, 7, PLACES SLAIN GIRL AT SIDE OF ACGUSED

Mrs. Jones Told Her to Go Away, Helen Schuler’s Playmate Says.

As the Marion County Grand Jury went into special session today to investigate the strange Beech Grove slaying of 12-year-old Helen Schuler, the Prosecutor's office confesshd it still could find no motive in this case, At a coroner's inquest today, the dead girl's T7-year-old playmate, Hilda Kendall, testified that the last time she saw Helen alive she was sitting on a davenport with Mrs. Etta Jones, who has been charged with the murder. In a strained, childish voice, Hilda said: “Helen and I were playing in the Schuler home when Mrs. Jones came to the door. Mrs. Jones told me to go over to grandmothers and play with her daughter (Betty Jean Jones). “When I left Helen was sitting on a davenport with Mrs, Jones.”

Motive Lacking

Hilda's mother, Mrs. Dora Kendall, also testified at the inquest, but Ray Seidle, Prosecutor's investigator, said that while the Kendall family was co-operating with authorities in this case, they had not supplied any reason for the crime. Sheriff Ray, who was the first one called before the Grand Jury, previously had indicated robbery may have been the motive for the shooting of Helen and the wounding of her step-mother, Mrs. Lottie Schuler. Witnesses appearing before the Grand Jury were believed to have presented chronological accounts of their investigations. In addition to

Sheriff Ray and Mr. Seidle, Al Lynch, also a Prosecutor's investigator, and deputy sheriffs testified.

Deputy Prosecutor Henry Goett, | who is assigned to the Grand Jury, sald other witnesses are to be called tomorrow.

The Grand Jury was sworn in for this extraordinary session at the request of Prosecutor Herbert Spencer who said it was reported some witnesses had not co-operated fully with law enforcement officers.

In support of his robbery theory, | Sheriff Ray earlier said he had learned Mrs. Jones was unable to] pay utility bills or rent on the rooming house which she operated |

on Talbott St.

Drawn on Louisville Bank

The check was drawn on the Liberty National Bank & Trust Co. in | Louisville, Mrs. Jones’ home until | she came here in March after floods | had wrecked her house. |

It was signed “Betty Jean Jones |

(Mrs. Jones’ T-year-old daughter), Mrs. Etta Jones and Mrs. Miles Jones” (the name of the suspect's husband, whe died a year ago). Relatives explained Mrs. Jones is guardian of a savings account for her daughter in the Louisville bank, and that she was uncertain if she had signed the guardian card “Mrs. Etta Jones” or “Mrs. Miles Jones.” The check, still uncanceled, is to be used for attorney's fees, the relatives said. At Louisville, Lambert Clark, savings bookkeeper at the bank, said Betty Jean has a savings account large enough to cover a $290 draft. The relatives said they believe this will show Mrs. Jones had enough money in the bank in her daughter's name to pay her bills and would not have gone to the Schuler home last Wednesday with intent to rob. Meanwhile, Mrs. Jones, held in the county jail on an affidavit charging murder and assault and battery with intent to kill, filed by sheriff Ray, maintained that Mrs. Schuler killed Helen and was

wounded in a struggle with her for the gun.

LOCAL .YOUTHS HELD FOR BLOCKING RAILS

By United Press NEWCASTLE, July 20. — Two young Indianapolis brothers, 12 and 14, were held in Henry County Jail today after confessing, according to police, that they had placed a raile road tie across the Pennsylvania railroad tracks. The youths said they placed the tie across the tracks near Dunreith last Saturday for “revenge” after

being forced from an Indianapolise bound freight train. Railroad officials said the tie was in such a position that an accident would have been unavoidable if the next westbound passenger and mail train had not been late. The crew of an eastbound freight train noticed the obstruction and stopped to clear the track.
