CHARGE OF ATTEMPT TO KILL IS FILED A charge of assault and battery with intent to kill his mother-in-law, Mrs. Jesse Sargent with an automatic revolver, was filed against Arthur Adams, in circuit court in Warsaw, 1 Tuesday afternoon. The charge , if proven, carries a sentence of from 1 to 10 years. * It is claimed he threatened Mrs. Sargent with the revolver. About 11 o’clock Monday night Sheriff Harley H. Person and Deputy Joe Rovenstine, who had been sent for by the Sargents, came to the Sargent hotel and arrested him and took him to ' jail in Warsaw. Mrs. Jesse Sargent refused to be interviewed on the matter when an attempt was made, yesterday morning, claiming she had no use for newspapers and had absolutely nothing to say about the matter. When Adams was interviewed in jail in Warsaw yesterday afternoon, he said the affidavit had been read to him oh?Tuesday, but he thought surely they* were just leaving him in jail to sober up, that there could be nothing behind such a charge. “1 may have been drunk Monday evening, but so help me God I swear 1 had drunk nothing but 3.2 beer,” he said. “I don’t think I waa drunk, but even so, I know that 1 did not pull a gun on anyone. Why I have never pulled a gun on anyone in my life." he said horrified. According to Adams, 10 days ago he had left the hotel, where he had served as desk clerk and in other capacities all summer, and had gone back on the road selling medical books to doctors. His field was southern Michigan. He said he planned to leave on Tuesday, and while here Monday visited various points around the lake selling cards of aspirin, etc. He said that he possibly drank 10 bottles of beer during the day, and named the various licensed places where he purchased these. He said ' he came back to the hotel and got his wife, and they went out for a drive. On their return when Adams entered the office, he said Mrs. Sargent said°: “Get out of here. You’re drunk.” Adams said, "I told her all right we’d go, and called Haxel—his wife—and they went upstairs to pack. Adams said Mrs. Sargent followed them, argued with him and finally struck him. He showed the marks he claims were inflicted. When asked it he pulled a gun then he said absolutely not, that he just shoved her away, that she may have gone downstairs, he doesn’t know. Adams said he and his wife carried their baggage to his car. It was locked in the garage, and Mr. Sargent came out and asked Mrs, Adams to come in to tell her mother goodbye. Adams said he told his wife by all means to go to tell her mother goodbye. He said he got the car out of the garage and waited and his wife did not appear. After a long wait he went into the store of the hotel and asked Mr. Sargent where Mrs. Adams was. He said Mr. Sargent said he didn’t know. He waited in the store for her to appear, and then, Adams said, the sheriff appeared and arrested him. He said he had a revolver in his pocket when he was arrested, that he had just received a permit to carry a gin, that day. He wanted to have it in the car on his trips. He claims he did not threaten anyone with the gun, that he did not have it out of his pocket during the quarrel. Adams said of course there is only his word and that of his wife and Mrs. Sargent. He also said that he has no money to fight the case, but that his car is paid for and to full of hi* clothes and was left at the hotel, and that he may be able to raise some money on his car. Bail is set at SI,OOO and unless Adams can raise it, he must remain in jail until circuit court convenes in September. It was rumored yesterday that the serious criminal charge which has been filed against Adams may be later dismissed if a legal investigation should reveal a mental affliction. The high bond has been regarded as sufficient to hold the defendant in custody until time may be had .for a. thorough investigation of the matter. If proven insane, Adams would be confined at Logansport. MARRIAGE ANNOUNCED Announcement to being made of the marriage of Cleo Cory, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chancy Cory, and Richard Mench, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Mench. The ceremony was performed in Elkhart, Saturday. They are living in Wade Zerbe’s cottage. 0 The Twaite-Vail reunion was hold in the park in Elkhart, Sunday.

CODE IS NOT UNDERSTOOD AT MEETING Questions Sent to Those In Charge In Indiana. The President’s ' Re-employment agreements were distributed in Syracuse, Friday. Monday evening the merchants and business men of Syracuse met to determine what course to pursue. They did not sign the agreements. At the meeting, which was held in the Masonic hall, the blanket code was read and studied. After a vigorous discussion it was decided that more definite information should be had as it was thought the details of the code applying to small towns were vague. L. A.. Heerman, John Grieger, Ross Osborn and L. A. Seider were instructed to drafts a letter and mail. !it to Francis Wells, Department. of [Conference representative in India--1 napolis, who is permanent chairman ! of the NRA program in this state. Wednesday afternoon an answer was received, stating the information pertaining to the operation of the code in small communities was to be from the code itself. Another Ifetter asking specific questions was innnedij ately sent to Indianapolis. - One of the questions is: Who w an ' employer? The agreement states the i maximum working hours fixed apply j “to employers in establishments employing not more than two persons in towns of less than 2,500 population which towns are not part of a larger trade area.” As most of the merchants employ less than twp people in their establishments, the question was immediately asked whether or not a business man employing two or less persons should be entitled to display the blue (eagle of the NRA if he signed the I code. It was asked if the merchant einl ploying two or less persons is not enI titled to display the blue emblem even j if he is in sympathy with the moveI ment will he be discriminated against by the buyers. Another thing which the merchants asked about were the number of hours a store should keep open. The code states that no store or service operation should be operated less than 52 hours per week unless the store operated less than 52* hours pet week before July 1, 1933. The merchants had been,, reading about stores in other towns making agreements to reduce the number of hours which they will operate. Some merchants thought that stores in I Syracuse should shorten the number of hours stores remain open„ - others 1 did not agree. The number of hours that a clerk 'should work under the code was dis(cussed. The code states .40 hours a , week but afterwards General Hugh j Johnson, administrator of the NRA i made a ruling that the maximum (hours for clerks working in grocery I establishments should be 48. This ruling,” according to general information does not apply to clerks in any but food establishments. Wages of clerks in towns of less than 2500 population, according to the code should be increased by not (less than 20 per cent, provided that i this shall not require wages in excess of sl2 per week. This was the only portion of the code which did not cause much discussion. * At the close of the meeing the merchants agreed not to* sign the code until more definite information could be received. i Ralph Disher of the Kosciusko (Distributing Co., and the Syracuse Ice Co., said that he would sign the I agreement as his situation was different from the merchants. An extra man was added to the force of this concern. Work hours were shortened and wages increased. The South Shore Golf Club and The Tavern hotel have also signed the agreement. KINDERGARTEN IN SESSION Ten youngsters are attending kindergarten in the grade school build- , ing here in Syracuse.
