BANDIT MOTHER FACES CHARGES
Check Background -of Story Writer Who Robbed Bank of $5000.
Mrs. Mary Cheek Schuch, 36, nurse, master chemist, detective story writer and mother, faced possible federal charges today for a bizarre and
nearly successful plot to ‘rob the Drexel State Bank of $5000.
she had shown him two vials which she said contained nitro glycerine and threatened to blow up the bank. Chri Covington, a Negro detective, learned of the holdup as she was leaving the bank. Not wishing to endanger the lives of others, he waited until she stepped from the bank’s front door, pinioned her arms from behind and recovered the money. The vials contained distilled water. At police headquarters the woman gave a series of aliases. Finally she said she was Mrs. Schuch, mother of | Hi a daughter, Cecilia, 8, attending a Bourbonnaise, Ill., school. She said a desire to clear debts totaling $2000 had prompted her to attempt the holdup.
Handed President Letter
A Federal Agent assisted police in questioning her because the bank is protected by ‘the Federal ! Deposit Insurance Corp., making her subject to possible Federal prosecution. | Assistant State’s:Attorney Morris C. Meyer said she -would be charged with bank robbery but that authori-
ties. had not decided whether to prosecute her under Federal or State law. He said police had not been able to check the story of her background completely. She entered the bank at noon, introduced herself to Neal as Bess Carney and then handed him a printed letter, three pages in length. {ey into a ‘Slaughter house. . . .” Neal read the pages calmly, then wrote out. the draft, walked to the cashier’s Window, obtained the money and handed it to her. As she started to leave he hurriedly whispered to Covington. Covington sauntered after her, captured her and brought her back into the bank. 3 The object in her pocket which she had pretended was a gun turned out to be a curling iron.

Mory Jaiic, 6, Will Be Able To Go Home for Christmas
In a City Hospital room today, her head framed against a big, white
Indianapolis, 6-year-old Mary June
heavy .bandage. . But her left eye
sparkles, and she has a cheery word for the nurse that attends her. The doctors have told her she will be home Sunday to spend Christmas with her father and mother and 9-year-old sister.
These are the doctors who on Sat-¥ urday successfully performed the delicate surgical operation of removing the little girl’s right eye, pierced by a pen with which she had been‘ playing Nov. 20, in her home at 1964 Tallman Ave. The doctors haven’t told her that there is no eye under the big white bandage. There is time enougl. for that, after Christmas, they say. In the front window of the Hicks’ home today there stands a small Christmas tree about two feet high. On its branches are two strings of lights. One doesn’t work any ore.
Lights for Her to See
The other does. It was loaned to the Hicks by neighbors, so that when June comes home there will be lights for her to ‘see. The accident that took June's eye occurred: about 7 o'clock in the evening. Her father; William F. Hicks, was taking caré of June and her sister, Vera Francis. Their mother, Mrs. Ruby Hieks, was in City Hospital for observation prior to & possible operation.’ Mr. Hicks was reading, Vera Francis was sitting in a chair,-and June was onthe couch. She was bouncing a standard writing ‘pen on the end table. Somehow it struck her eye, piercing it clear to the lens. Both Mr, Hicks and Vera Francis said June made no outcry and that they both tltought the pen had done
eyelid. ‘Noticed by Teacher
The girls went to bed, got up the next morning and went to school. There, at School 38, June’s firstgrade “teacher noticed June's eye was bloodshot. June said nothing about the acci-
dent, and’ ‘the teacher sent her home with" a'note to: Mr. Hicks advising | him to take her to the clinic at City Hospital. . Doctors toid Mr. Hicks that the sight was gone. And only then did June tell about how the pen had pierced her eye and how she had | yanked it out and said nothing, because she didn’t want her mother,
then in the hospital, and her father o
to worry about her.
Her parents and sister were in the|:
hospital the other day to see June. Mrs. Hicks said June tugged at her bandage and said, “Look at my ey: mother. It will be all right in a little while.”
But they're happy at the Hicks’ home that it wasn’t worse, and thst June will he home with them on Christmas. They say June understands there won’t be much. They have told her Santa Claus is pretiy busy this year, “Anything he prings will be lovaly,” she told him, Mr. Hicks said.

PT. WAYNE, Dec. 22 (U. P)— Lawrence (Larry) Hale, 34, of Ft. Wayne, who is being held by G-Men in Buffalo, N. Y., in connection with the $11,000 robbery of the Steuben County Bagk at Angola Nov. 22, will be. returned here as soon as possible U, 8S. District Attorney James R.

Mr. Vizetelly’s life-long dream of a 48-letter alphabet which would enable anyone to spell correctly was in the process of completion when he was stricken with: pneumonia | lish two. weeks ago. . “I would like to die still" working with words,” ‘he isaid- on his :74th birthday - ‘anniversary.

It ‘was, “Whisky”
> At his death he’ had. contributed more words to:the:English language than any other : man of his time— and his’ word “was law. When he saitl whisky. was to be ‘spelled whisky, that is the way it went into the dic= tionary. He was responsible: for. getting the word “whoopee” into the dictionary and keeping “lollipop” out.” The American doughboy found out what a “cootie” felt like, but Mr. Vizetelly found out what it meant—a tiny insect known to Hindus as “kutis” long before the Christian era.
Forty-seven years ago Mr. Vizetelly, a tall, strapping Englishman who had lost his meager savings in a publishing venture, arrived in New York penniless. The first book store he saw was Funk & Wagnalls. He walked in and offered to work for a day for nothing, just to show what he could do. He never left the firm's employ. When Dr. Isaa¢ Funk died in 1912, Mr. Vizetelly became editor-in-chief of the company’s Standard Dictionary—a job he held until his death.
He Rejected ‘Flapper
There was hardly a word that did not stir the broad-shouldered wordchaser’s imagination. He was the greatest contributor of slang phrases to classic language among modern philologists. “Varmintry” he accepted because it was enduring, but
