BROKEN HEART CAUSED OEEO

DECLARES Three men were sentenced to prison by Judge Fox this morning. Andl Mak. the Hungarian who murdered his wife pleaded guilty to the ' grand Jury's Indictment of first degree murdfr and was sentenced to life Imprisonment at the Michigan City prison. Harry Whipple, 50, and Joe Thomas, 27, pleaded guilty to a charge of grand larceny for stealing Rev. A. J. Feeder's automobile on the night of July 29 and received sentences of one to fourteen years. The men will be taken to prison Wednesday, Sheriff Steen announced today. Whipple will be taken to Michigan City at the same time that Mak is taken and Thomas because he is under thirty years of age will be' taken to the Jeffersonville reformatory. - Jurors are Dismissed. Mak had announced that he would stand trial by jury. Consequently the Judge had called the regular Jury and twenty-five extras for Wednesday the date set for the trial. 1 These men have been notified that they need not report. Saturday pight, the prisoner called his attorney Frank Strayer to the jail and through his interpeter said that he had decided to plead guilty. When the Judge was informed of this today he called the man before him immediately. Thf wound which Mak inflicted upon himself In his suicide attempt is healed. It may be necessary, however, for an operation to be performed at the prison to remove the bullet which is lodged in his head. Story Reads Like Novel. The 6tory that the Hungarian murderer told today reads like a tragic novel. Two years ago the girl whom he afterwards married came to this country and came to Richmond. She lived with her sister and brother-in-law. She met Mak and after a short courtship, they were married. The brother-in-law demanded that Mak pay the $50 which was required for her transportation expenses. Mak refused because he had not known the girl until after she had come to Amreica. This angered the brother-in-law who brought about the separation of the t wo. "But we loved each other and saw ench other often," Mak was interpreted as saying. . The day before the tragedy, it was arranged that Mak and his wife should go back together. Describes the Murder. At noon the day of the murder, Mak stopped at the house where his wife was staying and said he would get off early so that they could select the furniture for their home. The wife told him that she had had a bad dream the night before in which she was instructed not to live with him for one year for the brother-in-law would cause trouble if they did. Mak went back to work for a couple of hours. Then he quit and went to his room. "There I decided that if I couldn't live with the woman 1 loved, I would kill myself at her feet." Mak pleaded. "I had no intention of killing her when I purchased the gun. "That evening I went to hor home meaning only to kill myself. When I saw her, 1 suddenly decided that we should both go to heaven together. I shot her and then tried to kill myself." GAVIRA VISIT hM OUARTE HEADQUARTERS AMERICAN PIT-i NITIVE EXPEDITION. MEXICO.

AUTO LEAVES ROAD

When the automobile owned by R. J. Behringer skidded north of Greensfork Saturday night and ran into the ditch, the front axle was so badly. bent that it was necessary for repair men from a garage to go after the car Sunday morning. No one was injured in the accident.

Consideration will be given this proposition as soon as the bureau if officially notified. Plans for a campaign to raise $250 for the expenses of the social service bureau were also discucced.
