Hcjects Lawyer's Not Guilty Plea and Refuses to Make One Himself. v WEALTHY WOMAN WILL PROVIDE HIS FUNDS C.:e Aids Accused Man, Not Desiring to See Him "Railroaded" Plans of the Defense Outlined. (American New Service) f New York, March 31. Albert Wolter indicted for killing pretty fifteen year old Ruth Wheeler, a stenographer, created a sensation today when arraigned by rejecting his lawyer's plea of not guilty, and refusing to plead to the murder indictment. Twenty four hours was granted for the preparation of the plea. .Before Albert Wolter was arraigned today to plead to the indictment charging him with the murder of fifteen year old Ruth' Wheeler it was learned that his . counsel. Wallace D. Scott. had been engaged to defend hinrby a very 'wealthy woman. When Mr. Scott was asked ' about this, he replied: . ''That is, a personal matter, which I would rather not discuss.". A report was.; current today that Mrs. John Murray Mitchell, of Tuxedo,, wife of the former congressman, had furnished the money to retain Mr. Scott , Called Legal Butchery. "It would be legal butchery to railroad this case, as It is planned," said Lawyer Scott. "It is absolutely, unjust to force a man to trial with only fortyeight hours', notice. . . . Wolter is innocent, and if I have only the. ordinary length of time granted an attorney for the defease. I can pw it " .- " The e of defense was revealed today ' ' ' ' - . ;- - - Although the father of Wolter would not admit it, the defense is said ' to have come' upon evidence that there was another; man, in Wolters's room when the Wheeler girl was killed, and that he has since disappeared. Wolter was led to acts, which make him appear to be the murderer, according to this line of defense, by fear of being confounded with the real murderer. Hundreds of persons crowded Into the criminal courts building today to get a glimpse of Wolter when he was brought from the Tombs for his arraignment. ' Most of them were disappointed, for he was smuggled into court through a private passageway. REPORT OF (1. If. C. Dig Railroad System Last Year Only Mads a Prof it of 570,000,000.

v Divorced on Tuesday and securing a marriage license on Thursday is the record of Mrs. Glennie Bartle Mrs. Bartle secured her divorce in the Jay county circuit court. The groom is Stephen Wesley Piatt, of Perry township, who has been married twice before, but on each occasion the marriage was dissolved by death. Piatt is an oil worker. Both are 29 years old. , . " - . . The marriage license report for March is of interest. The number, thirty, is slightly in excess to- that Issued during the corresponding per iod of 1909. believed to be due to the fact that Easter came In March this year. As the official clerks for Dan Cupid the county clerk and his assistant have had ample opportunity to study matrimonial candidates. Balk on Age Question. ; Probably the thing most generally noticed is that the brides-to-be are reluctant about giving their ages. They prefer, so It seems, to allow the grooms : to do this, or to have the blanks sent to their homes to be fill ed out in privacy. ' " ; , It has also been ascertained that prospective brides suffer keenly from "stage fright" on entering the court house. - ' " An taja..triMwsa ye day afternoon. The twenty-eighth bride-to-be for the month, came to the question of answering what her age was and had a fainting spelL When she recovered she was asked how. of ten she had. been married be fore. She experienced a relapse and had to take a seat, then she asked for water and finally rushed to a window, that she might be revived by the fresh air. " , Report of the Police. -.. The report for March by the police department, and also those of county officials for the January term of court are Interesting. The police report record for the month of March shows 48 arrests on various charges, an Increase of 7 arrests . over the month of February.' There were 27 drunks taken In tow last month as against 20 during the month previous. There were ao unusual features to the report and the number of arrests with the charges were as follows: Intoxication, 27; assault and battery, 9; petit larceny, 2; selling liquor to minora, 2; profanity, 2; riding- bicycle oa sidewalk, 2; bastardy, 1; larceny, 1; glvinr liquor to minors, 1; held for superintendent, Report on Petit Jury. ; The petit jury of the January term of . the i Wayne circuit court, which was excused after its deliberations In the Williamson case, cost the county $4 ti .10. The report of sheriff Meredith on the total mileage shows that 1.042 miles were traveled and mileage " allowed. The total number of days served by ta Jury was 182. However the jury as ' a collective organization served but 14 days. Report of County Clerk. During: the t'-y the report ' of &O Ci E. Penny "shows, stxty-cine civil cases were disposed of. In addition there were seventeen criminal cases and seven juvenile cases, in which' final .action was taken.
