Superior Judge Walter Pritchard today indicated he would dissolve a restraining order against Attorney James Dawson if the latter would promise to cease heckling Indianapolis Railways, Inc. But Mr. Dawson, the streetcar company's arch-enemy, said he could not agree to such a condition. So the hearing on the temporary restraining order continued into the afternoon, “I'm trying to arrive at an equitable ruling,” Judge Pritchard said to Attorney Dawson. “If 1 dissolved

AWAIT SECOND POISON REPORT
Body of Mrs. MoConnell Is Re-Interred at Dupont.
DUPONT, Ind., Aug. 28 (U. P.).—| The body of Mrs. Minnie McCon- | nell was re-interred in the cemetery
here today after authorities completed a second examination in| hopes of shedding further light on the town's poison mystery. Dr. Amos C. Michael of the Indiana university medical school took ' samples: of vital organs to Indianapolis to conduct supple- | mental pathological tests. Mercury | found in Mrs. McConnell's stomach | after the body was first exhumed | several weeks ago led to the filing
of murder charges against Mrs Lottie Lockman. She was {ree on $15,000 bond. |
Coroner Sidney E. Haigh said today that it. would be “two or three weeks” before a report is ready. Exhumed in Secrecy The body was re-exhumed Sunday, but no announcement Wwas| made until late yesterday, leading many townspeople here to believe the body was “missing.” | Mrs. Lockman, 62-year-old moth-| erly housekeeper, was arrested after | mercury was found in the stomach | of Mrs. Mayme McConnell daugh-ter-in-law of the dead woman. The| younger Mrs. McConnell was con-| valescing today. : Traces of mercury were also found in the body of “Uncle Fred” Giddings, one of the several elderly persons cared for by Mrs. Lockman who died strange “sleep” deaths. State pathologists said the discovery of mercury was “not conelusive” and continued exhaustive examinations. .

‘ports of bears roaming the Camp
Attéerhury area. However, citizens hereabouts are more inclined to the view that wolves are sauntering around Camp Atterbury. But no wolf, man or beast, made these prints, Mr. Kleiman agreed. Franklin's monster strides at least a yard between tracks. In one hollow where water had accumulated, it had wallowed in the mud. Authorities said this discounted the bear theory because bears are too sanitary to stoop to such indignities. Still Trail Others Although deer have frequently been sighted in the fields west of Franklin, the Johnson county pawprints definitely aren't deer tracks, Mr. Kleiman said. He scooped out one of the large impressions with a shovel and displayed it to local sportsmen. They, too, were mystified. The monster trail was discovered by Frank Pruitt, county highway worker. Meanwhile, self-styled trappers and big game hunters are still trailing Lebanon's monster, described as an outsized wildcat, and Shelby county's “python of Flat Rock river.” Several other unidentified beasts are grazing over the state, according to dame rumor who should be pretty weary of monsters by now.

The American compromise proposal would admit to membership Albania, Afghanistan, Ireland, Transjordania, Portugal, Outer Mongolia, Sweden and Iceland. Britain has objected to Albania and has reservations regarding Outer Mongolia, which also was opposed by China, Russia has indicated ob- | jections to Ireland, Transjordania and Portugal. Asks for Universality Secretary General Tryvge Lie strongly supported the American proposal, asserting that the founding members of the United Nations and “all great powers which form a part of the organization have agreed that it must be as universal as possible.” He noted that only Spain under the Franco regime has been ex-| cluded specifically. Brazil, Mexico and Egypt also spoke in support of the American proposal.
