BRIDE'S ‘TIP’ LEADS POLICE T0 FUBITIVE

Convict, Wife ‘and Alleged Aid Held as Suspects In Holdups.

A 20-year-old Indianapolis convict, who authorities said took advantage of a funeral prayer for his mother to escape Indiana Reformatory guards, was in jail again today. He, his bride and another youth are held as suspects in connection with several holdups. He is Robert York, and held with

him are the former Miss Mary Greiner, Eldon, Mo., whom he married Oct. 13, and Harold Mobley, 20, of 1908 Carrollton Ave. His case was continued in Municipal Court today by Judge Charles Karabell who set his bond at $25,000. York, sought as a fugitive throughout the Midwest since May 17, when he escaped from Indiana Reformatory guards during his mother’s funeral here, was arrested at Frankfort yesterday by State Po"lice on information furnished by ! “his young wife, who was arrested

Mobley was irveiiod here Tuesday. Detective Lieut. Leo Trout- - dman said all three, in signed state:ments, had confessed participating in five robberies in Missouri and one here. Mrs. York implicated him in the holdup a week ago of a lunchroom at Keystone Ave. and 52d St. The youthful fugitive, whose troubles with the law date back several years, escaped from the Reformatory May 17 after serving six months of a one-to-10-year sentence for vehicle taking. :

Life Sentence Asked

After special permission had been granted by Reformatory ‘officials, the youth attended the funeral of his mother at the Blasengym Funeral Home, 3129 N. Illinois St. During a prayer, the tugitive slipped out of his seat, dashed to the door and disappeared down a side street. At the time of his escape, York had served two sentences on vehicle-taking charges. At the time of his sentence on the latest conviction, York had told Judge Pro Tem. Clyde Karrer in Criminal Court: “You might as well give me life, judge. Every time I get out the police are on my trail, hoping to catch me in something. Prisons make criminals instead of curing them of crime.” When arrested, York was carrying three loaded pistols, police said. His wife, who was married to him under the name of Robert Hayden, told police after her arrest that her husband had left Thursday and said he would return in three days. Police arrested Mrs. York on a “tip from the underworld grapevine,” they said, and information supplied ‘by the other youth. Mobley, - detectives said, turned over $49 he said was his share of the loot taken in a robbery at St. Clair, Mo. Tells of Gun Purchase

In his statement to detectives yesterday, York said he left Indianapolis after his escape and went to Madison, Iowa. He worked there for several weeks, the statement said. Detectives said York confessed holdups in Carrollton, Union, St. Clair and New Florence, Mo. He said he then came to Indianapolis “with his wife and held up the Key- ~ stone Ave. restaurant. After a trip back to St. Clair, where they “looked over” a dry goods store, they returned to Indianapolis. York said they then picked up Mobley and all three went to St. Clair and held up the store, obtaining $150. The trio returned to Indianapolis, York said. He then left Mobley, drove his wife to Frankfort and after leaving her there drove to St. Louis, where he bought a gun and a blackjack. He then returned to Frankfort, where State Police arrested him.

. A ‘Bad Egg’

Killer Puffs Cigaret, Dies Calmly Before Firing Squad.

ALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 31 (U. P.).—John W. Deering, who was “just a bad egg,’ was executed today by a sheriff's firing squad for the murder May 9 of Liver R. Meredith Jr., proprietor of a Salt Lake City leather goods store. Deering was led into the prison yard at 7:35 a. m. (Indianapolis Time). A black double peaked cap covered the upper part of his face so that he could not see. He puffed a cigaret and appeared unworried. The wires of an electric-cardio-graph, an instrument to record the heartbeats, were attached to his wrist and a small target was pinned over his heart. Then from behind a shield which screened them from view the five men of the execution squad fired. Four bullets tore into Deering'’s heart—one rifle was loaded with a blank — and two minutes later Deering was dead. He struggled for approximately 15 seconds after the shots and then his head slumped forward. He moaned but doctors said he felt no pain in the 120 seconds that elapsed between the roar of the rifles and the moment he was pronounced dead.

CLARIFY TEAGHER RETIREMENT PLAN

Ruling Gives Choice Between Old Act, Amendments.

Teachers now taking part in the state’s retirement fund plan can choose to remain under provisions

of the old act or come under terns of the amendment which takes effect next year, theattorney-generai’s office said today. The attorney-general’s opinion was given at the request of Robert B. Hougham, Teachers Retirement Fund Booard executive secretary. Under a 1937 amendment to the Teachers Retirement Act, effective July 1, 1939, the maximum annuitiy for retiring teachers was raised from $700 to $960, while the teachers’ maximum service was reduced from 40 to 35 years. Teachers, however, to come under provisions of the new amendment, would have to make higher payments than under the old law, Ruling that a section of an existing law that has been amended ceases to exist, the Attorney-Gen-eral’s office added the qualifying statement that the .new amendment could not be forced on teachers now coming under this plan, since such an action “would impair the obligations of a contract.” Therefore, teachers now taking part in the plan can make a choice. After the effective date of the amendment, however, all new teachers will be subject only to the provisions of the amendment, the opinion said. Teachers already retired do not receive an increase in their pensions when the new amendment goes into effect.

TALK ARRANGED BY MICHELSON

‘Part of My Job,” Democrat Publicity Director Declares.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 (U. P.).— Charles Michelson, publicity director of the Democratic National Committee, said today that he had been responsible for making arrangements for a newspaperman to broadcast a reply to a radio speech tonight by Chairman Dies (D. Tex.) of the House Committee Investigating Un-American Activities. Rep. Dies, charging the Administration with attempts to sabotage the work of his committee, arranged for a broadcast over station WOL, outlet of MBS from Washington, to “reveal the whole story” concerning antagonism toward his committee.

Paul Y. Anderson, reporter for the St. Louis Star-Times, will reply to Rep. Dies. “Certainly I arranged it,” Mr. Michelson said today. “Whenever a Democratic candidate is attacked it is part of my job to defend him.” President Roosevelt last week bitterly criticized the Committee for permitting what he termed “absurdly false” accusations to be put in the record against Governor Murphy of Michigan. Rep. Dies said that he had teceived authentic information that William B. Dolph, mandger of WOL, had been “forced” to give radio time

to Mr. Anderson. He charged that

Mr. Michelson had approached Mr. Dolph with the suggestion that Mr. Anderson be permitted to speak and that no mention of the White House’s interest in the matter be made.

REPLY TO DIES’ | Indian's Widow Is in Cell

After Surprise U.S. Raid

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 31 (U. P.).—

The Government today gave back [880

to the Indians the mansion of Jackson Barnett, the late Creek millionaire, after it finally evicted his belligerent widow in a surprise raid. Sullenly seated in a jail cell, Mrs. Anna Laura Barnett, the widow, ignored offers of aid from the thousands of Californians who appealed

even to the President not to dispossess her. She and Mrs. Maxine Sturgis, her daughter, were detained on a charge of suspicion of resisting Federal officers. The charge was filed after U. S. Marshal Bob Clark said Mrs. Barnett tried to scalp ‘a raiding deputy with a hand-axe. Mr. Clark, admittedly embarrassed by the widespread protest over the eviction order, which followed the Supreme Court’s ruling that Mrs. Barnett “kidnaped” and dllegally married the incompetent old Indian for his money, witheld the raid until the curious deserted the Wilshire Boulevard site of the mansion

where he was repulsed two weeks

Yesterday morning with 10 men and two women deputies, Mr. Clark stormed the house and overpowered Mrs. Barnett ‘with tear gas. While. the deputies. surrounded the house, two of them broke in the front door. They saw Mrs. Barnett standing at the foot of the staircase, hatchet upraised. “Get out here, you gangsters,” she screamed. As Deputy Dave Hayden stepped forward she threw the ax. It whizzed past his head and he fired a tear gas pistol. Then he and Deputy George Rossini, holding their breath; rushed her. She struggled briefly, then gave way and they carried her out. . Other officers rushed upstairs and captured Mrs. Sturgis. Although Senator William Gibbs McAdoo (D. Cal.) and 100,000 California clubwomen petitioned the Government for a “square deal” for the “penniless” Mrs. Barnett, she denounced all of them as “busybodies, gangsters and publicity seekers.”

INDIANA WAGES 23D IN NATION

Andrews Studies First Week Under Wage-Hour Law To Find Trend.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 (U. P).

—Wage-Hour Administrator Ehner|:

F. Andrews expected today, following thé first pay day since the Wage-Hour Law became effective,

to get a comprehensive picture of:

t |industry’s compliance with that

statute,

The law, establishing a 25-cents- | an-hour minimum wage for alll workers in interstate commerce and |§

requiring payment of time and onehalf for work in excess of 44 hours per week, became effective last Monday, but Government officials and employees had no opportunity to determine compliance until the end of the first pay period. Mr. Andrews anticipated that his 22 inspectors beginning work today in the larger industrial centers would be able to give him some report on the law’s effectiveness. Meanwhile, the Wage-Hour Administrator made public a report showing that in no state are the average weekly earnings of workers in manufacturing industries as low as the $11 per week for 44 hours worked required by the Fair labor Standards Act. The report, prepared by Dr. Isa dor Lubin, commissioner of the Bureau of Labor statistics, covered manufacturing workers in August, 1937, and disclosed that District of

Columbia workers led the nation

with a weekly average of $33.61. Wyoming was second with $32.16 per week, while highly industrialized Michigan was third with $30. Indiana was 23d with $23.65. Lowest average was Georgia's $13.71.
