CHICAGO, Nov. 12 (U, P.)—The hidden wealth of a 67-year-old di-

vorcee, who lived in abject poverty while subsisting on relief, was revealed today as police investigated her brutal torture-murder. The woman, Mrs. Bertha De Meyer, whose body was found in her shabby home late yesterday, appar- | ently had been tortured and beaten | by robbers in an effort to make her | give up her money. She was stran- | gled with a wire. | Police found hidden in the five- | room apartment, money and bonds | amounting to more than $2500, | which the killer had overlooked. Three real estate bonds worth | $1500 were stuffed in cushion of a chair. A $1000 mortgage was found among papers spread beneath a rug. In a bank book, hidden under a sofa was $140. The book showed a balance of $352. Six dollars was found in the bottom of an old ice box. | Mrs. De Meyer had been divorced twice, the last time from Gustave | De Meyer in 1928. She had been on | relief since then. The murder was discovered by | Walter Krukow, coal dealer with |

offices in the same building, who investigated when he found the rear door of Mrs. De Meyer's apartment open. The place was a shambles. The killer had strewn contents of dresser drawers and slashed open a mattress in his search. Mrs. De Meyer's body was to be examined by Deputy Coroner Jerry J. Kearns today to determine whether she had been criminally attacked.

Chicago youth, received at his Miami, Fla, home today a promise of relief from his long imprisonment in an iron respirator. | In a telephone conversation with Mr. Snite, Dennis Scanlon, surgical | instrument inventor and tire engineer, described a “rubber lung,” which would replace the heavy iron one. ¢

His invention, he told the youth, |at the prospect of being released would permit exercise of the arms |

and legs while it forced air in and | out of the lungs,

Mr. Scanlon’s lung covers only the torso. An aluminum cuirasse, lined with rubber, with a layer of soit sponge, is sealed against the body. “Mr. Snite expressed great relief

( from the iron lung,” Mr. Scanlon

said after the conversation.
