"You have sinncd, Harvey and you must
suffer. But remember you are not beyond
redemption and your mother Is suffering
with you"

dazed. Then he caught sight Of smaller
and more girlish figure standing beside
his mother, and he arose and walked to-
ward the door Of his cell, Mrs. VanDen,
speaking between her sobs, said:
ooh my son, my son - She put her
arms through the bars and put her hands
upon the prisoners shoulders, Then
Mamie Dunno, VanDcin's sweetheart
stepped forward and shook hands with the
prisoner At this point Van Dein dis
played his first sign Of emotion.

through the bars toward her son. In

arms to the prisoner, caught the grief
stricken mother by the shoulders and
gently drew her back.

Mrs. Van Dcin, as she left the celroom.
A moment later when questioned by
the police, the prisoner resumed his usual
Indifferent demcanor.

willing to marry Van Dein before he
stands trial.
While Harvey Van Dein, Peter Neder-
meier and Emil Roeski sat in their cells
today the story of their crimes was being

is planned to have the young desperadoes
brought to an immediate trial. AS Gustav
