PERMIT GIVEN BY IOWA COURT AFTER HEARING

Dupont Probe Advanced As. Judge Alters Previous Stand.

By WILLIAM BROWN Times Special Correspondent BURLINGTON, Iowa, Aug. 24.— Indiana state police officials today had permission to exhume the body of Mrs. Hattie Calhoun, a possible poisoning victim, provided it is not taken from the state. . District Judge Paul McCoid yesterday granted permission for the exhumation, another step in the investigation of Mrs. Lottie (Tot) Lockman, 62-year-old Dupont housekeeper, against whom a murder charge is pending in the death of another woman.

Mrs. Calhoun, elderly eccentric,

was attended by Mrs. Lockman at

Dupont for some time prior to her|

death in 1937. Exhumation Next Week

Indiana Detective Graham Tevis told Judge McCoid another murder charge would be filled against the Dupont woman, if an examination of Mrs. Calhoun's body indicates death by poison, The detective said the exhumation probably would be undertaken Monday or Tuesday under supervision of R. O. Giles, Des Moines county coroner. This was stipulated by Judge McCold’s order. In a lengthy hearing, Judge McCoid heard the Dupont affair described in detail, since Iowa law

. requires evidence of a criminal act before a court order for exhuma-

tion may be issued. Earlier this week, the judge re-

fused to order the exhumation, whereupon Indiana police officials

submitted their evidence.

Burial Plans Recalled Detective Tgvis testified that his investigation shows Mrs. Lockman arranged for the burial of Mrs. Calhoun’s body three weeks prior to her death. Presented in evidence was a cemetery record book, disclosing Dec. 22, 1937, as time of burial. Dr. E. C. Sage, county health eh rector here, told the judge that *

there was mercury in the woman's * Cardinal

body at the time of death, it can

still be found 1000 years from now.”

Permission by next of kin for the exhumation was given by Mrs. Alec Erickson, widow of Walter G. Calbound, a nephew of Mrs. Calhoun by marriage. He was the last

known relative ofi#he recluse. ; 7 Detectives” also asked Mrs. Brick + . son, who under Iowa law was not

recognized as .a relative of the dead woman, whether Mrs. Cal-

houn had several diamond rings)

wn she died. Mrs. Lockman, the suspect, is wearing rings reported to have belonged to the elderly eccentric, Detective Tevis added. Mrs. Erickson recalled several rings belonging to her husband's aunt and said she understood Mrs. Calhoun “had some money.”

Fo Investigate.

KOKOMO, Ind, Aug. 24 (U. P). ~Indiana’s division of public safety was charged today by City Judge Virgil L. Coffel with “making a mockery of the law” in connection with suspended drivers’ licenses. Judge Coffel accused the division of “irregularities” in a letter to Governor Gates demanding a “sweeping investigation.” The judge sald the division reissued a driver's license to Shirley B. Spivey, Greentown, just five weeks after Judge Coffel recommended that Spivey's license be suspended for a year following his conviction of drunken driving. Judge Coffel produced a letter showing that the state department had approved the one-year revocation.

Revoked Again Spivey appeared in city court | yesterday on another drunk driving | charge. He was found guilty, fued $100, sentenced to six months on| the state penal farm and had his license ordered suspended for a year, At Indianapolis, neither State Police Chief Austin Killian, head of the division of public safety, nor! Louis Smith, chief of the depart-| ment which actually rules on operator license suspension, were available for comment. However, H. Dale Brown, director of the bureau of motor vehicles, said bureau records showed that re-| issuance of Spivey's license was| approved by Mr. Smith's Sopart- | ment, the public safety division's department of financial bility. Mr. Brown's filles bore out Judge |

Aid Ends in December Cardinal Stritch paid tribute to the UNRRA and the national war relief fund, both of which will be lissolved in December. He said that private charities might be forced to carry on the work of feeding and clothing the people of Europe, the Near East, and the Orient. “We know that the work is so large that the private relief agencies cannot do the whole of it and that their work must be supplemented by governmental agencies,” he said, “but ‘not supplanted by them.” “Charity is so Important an activity that we cannot tolerate the thought of not doing it in the most perfect and effective way,” he said,

Volume 1 A Number 81

Dear Folks An attorney, James M, Dawson by name, rode Indianapolis Railways, Inc. for all it “was worth this week. That ding, ding, ding. as in the trolley song sounded like the bell between rounds as Mr. Dawson and the railway company squared off, physically and legal ly, day after day in their « bout over use of old metal tokens. . . The disgruntled lawyer insisted on paying over metal tokens issued at four-for-a-quarter before the utility substituted yellow tickets at three-for-a-quarter, First Attorney Dawson battled a transit supervisor aboard a trolley and both were arrested, but Mr, Dawson wis acquitted and the inspector fined $1. . | . Next morning a crowd of 300 watched ‘Attorney Dawson again board a trolley, and hand over a metal token, but that afternoon Indianapolis Railways, Inc. turned the tables by obtaining a temporary restraining order forbidding /Mr. Dawson to ride thusly. But the next day the attorney hurdled this barrier by proxy, substituting a neighbor for himself, said neighbor hopping a trolley and blandly proffering (you know what). . Attorney Dawson also filled a damage suit in behalf of a cliént allegedly ejected from a streetcar after following his (Dawson's) example. . . . By week's end, Indianapolis Rallways breathing heavily, offered to redeem the old tokens on its vehicles instead of at banks as per their previous plan. The Federation of Community Civic clubs protested increased token fares too. . . . When the OPA decontrol board announced ceilings would go back on meats, livestock receipts at first dropped sharply here, but they rallied and zipped to new highs as farmers rushed to beat the Aug. 29 deadline.
