Chicago, Nov. 15. Henry Spencer, confessed slayer of Mrs. Mildred Allison Rexroat, the "tanpo" dancing teacher, was last night found guilty of murder by a jury at Wheaton, a suburb. The death penalty was fixed by the Jury, which returned a verdict after little more than two hours' deliberation. The first ballot was 11 to 1 for

the death penalty and the second bal lot was unanimously in favor of send ing Spencer to the gallows. Spencer was arrested October 5, ac

cused of having lured Mrs. Rexroat to

Wayne, 111., and placing her body on

the railroad track, after he had shot

her to death. Mrs. Rexroat's body was

found early in the morning of Septem

and definitely fixed by a large monument on the shore of lake Michigan and by other monuments placed at regular distances south of that point. 2. But when Indiana and Illinois

were surveyed by the government engineers one gang started at a mi ridian line in Indiana and blocked out the section squares toward th? Indiana? Illinois state line. Surveying is not an exact science, liy the time they got to the line their survey lapped over the already fixed state line and extended into Illinois. What Illinois Surveyor Did. 3. Then the Illinois surveyors started out from their principal meridian line and surveyed eastward. When they arrived at the state line their survey lapped over Into Indiana. 4. In the case of ' neither the Indiana or the Illinois survey did the surveyors tie up the corner on the state line. Their reason was that it was not necessary. The state line was already positively determined. That formed the western or eastern boundary of the section as the case might be. This is the situation that this surveyor took advantage of in his effort to cloud the issues and hide the theft of the street that was being1 carried on under his very eyes. So one after another the owners 'of State Lino street lota encroached on the street with their buildings until today it would cost ten or fifteen thousand dollars to rectify the willful seizure of land that was made under the pretense that one one could tell where the state line lay. What a VUlt Skona. To show how bold this theft of land was one has but to go from Plummer avenue southward on State Line street. The street is a fairly creditable

Rfwa( Vr-te Iyon Charge. Mayor K. M. Wosecsynskt and City Clerk Ignatius F. Mankowskl were provoked last night by the charge of Incompetency directed at them by Peter Lyons, the Hammond city engi- ' neer. Lyons claimed that those offi- ! cials so balled up the assessment roll on the State Line improvement that property owners raised a hullabaloo and stopped the whole business. j The officials say in turn that while a mistake was made in putting the Sibley street and State Line street paving contracts together there was . nothing amiss In the discharge of their j duties. It will be remembered that a question arose as to whether or not the Green line traction interests should be made to pay for a part of the pavement on Sibley street where they hold

the franchise. This delayed the project. "I took the word of engineers as to the location of the state line," Mayor Wosiczynski said, "and believed It till I found out different. I do not pretend to be a surveyor. Mr. Lyons has no right to call me incompetent for not knowing that profession." Mukownkl Se-en Landmark.

Mayor John I). Smalley. just back from the snow-clad, blizzard-swept, icebound Ohio, stated this morning that he will not be daunted by West Hammond's threat in the improvement of State Line street. "We can afford no longer delay," the executive said. City Attorney John Oavit of Hammond supported the mayor in his statement. "West Hammond hasn't done anything yet, and they won't." he said. "Hammond will go right ahead." Telephone C'alln Galore. Thb Times was called to answer questions and listen to opinions repeatedly today. City Clerk Mankowski telephoned the official announcement from across the line: "We can enjoin every Inch of Hammond's improvement," he said. "If the surrey isn't rectified we will. It takes a lot of nerve to add five feet of somebody else's property to yours, but that is what Hammond did when It widened State Lineslreet. Now they have as high as thirty-five feet of Illinois ground in one place and we want it back. "Lyons calls me Incompetent, but he Is the most incompetent man :I know In public office. He established a line and ordered the board of public works to go ahead. It was a city Job and he can't blame the county. It was up to him to protect the people of Hammond.
