CANON CITY. Colo., April 26 (U. P)—Dr. Raymond L. Atterberry, 41-year-old osteopath, lounged jauntily in his jail cell today after conviction of second-degree murder in the death of his wife, Nova. Women admirers patted him on the back and he confidently said, “Dent worry about me, I'm ail right.” Atterberry’s attorneys had 20 days in which to file an appeal from the conviction, which may bring a sentence of from 10 years to life imprisonment. The jury required two hours to decide on Atterberry’s degree of guilt. The State contended he was heavily in debt, had his pretty wife, 31, insured for a total of $15,000, and strangled her and threw her body down their basement steps last Dec. 21.

BARRETT LOSS MAY TAKE LONG “TIME TO CHECK

State Accounts Aid Says Probe May Consume 18 Months Here.

It may be a year and a half before thé actual Barrett fund shortage in Indianapolis can be determined, in the opinion of Otto Jensen, State Board of Accounts

member, Speaking yesterday before the Indiana Municipal League at the Hotel Antlers, Mr. Jensen discussed the position of Hoosier cities under the recent Barrett Law amendment which provides methods for replacing fund shortages. “The shortage in South Bend may reach two million dollars and that city has been mandated to pay the liability. This means that South Bend, if it tries to collect this on its 1940 levy, will have a 90-cent levy,” Mr. Jensen said.

Bond Issue Sighted

A rough estimate of the Indianapolis shortage by City Controller James E. Deery was placed at $200,000. A bond issue probably will be issued to make up this sum, Mr. Deery said. The shortage has been accumulat-

and has been known to City officials for some time. Principal portion of this shortage has been accumulated through lost interest payments. Other losses are attributed to sums lost through bank failures and diversion of funds from one assessment roll te another. At the league meeting yesterday, Mr. Jensen said that Indiana cities must increase their Barrett Law Department staffs so that they can more speedily determine their Barrett liability, if any.

Urges Law Revision

“During the study of the present Barrett laws and amendments, I hope the city officials in this State

will realize that our laws are a relic from the horse and buggy days. Let us endeavor to write a Barrett Law bill to be presented at the next session of the Legislature, one that is literate and completely practical,” Mr. Jensen said. Asked by Col. Louis Roberts, Evansville, whether cities in Indiana must immediately begin determining their shortages, Mr. Jensen replied: “We of the Accounts Board do not mean to come into your cities and tell you what to do. Yours is a local problem. It is you who must face the holders of the Barrett bonds.” The league also discussed the new Magistrates Court Bill and delinquent utility taxes. .

She Can’t Tell Reporters What Rooms She Will Assign to King and Queen.

ASHINGTON, April 26 (U. P.).—Scotland Yard has clamped down on Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Scotland Yard

officials have been making advance arrangements for protecting the King and Queen. Mrs. Roosevelt said she was not

even allowed to confirm her previous tentative assignment of the King and Queen to the suites at the east end of the White House.

The King, according to her earlier plans, was to occupy a bedroom, dressing room, and bath, decorated in rose, at the northeast corner of the White House, while the Queen was to occupy the suite, similar in arrangement, across the wide corridor which was used as the Presidential offices before the executive wing of the White House was built during the Theodore Roosevelt Administration. The bedroom tentatively assigned to Queen Elizabeth several months ago is the room in'which Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation proclamation.
