SAYS HUSBAND DID DEED
(specia1 from IJnited Press)

(Spec1aI from United PreSS.)
 Hartford City, Ind, Oct. Ion be- half of Mrs. Ray Krause, now serv- ing sentence for murd dering her step- daughter Crystal Krause, Attorney Mann has filed cross complaint in the divorce proceedings brought by William R. Krause. In the complaint Mrs. Krause says her husband mur- dered his own daughter and they agreed she should be punished for i. because the court would be more lem ient with a woman and because Krause who is wealthy and promi- nent could use his influence to get pardon for his wife.
 The complaint alleges that she was "cajoled, threatened and coerced'' by her husband into signing a confession which he wrote and he has not lived up to his agreement of that time, namely, to get pardon for her, af- ter she had assumed the role of mur- deress out of her love for her hus- band. The death of Crystal Krause was one of the greatest mysteries in Indiana. The girl was IS years old and popular. Her stepmother seemed fond of her and the two were insepar- able. Her death was caused by strycnnine poisoning, imaginary evil dence being given by milkman's s boy who said Mrs. Krause sent him to a drug store to get ten cents wort h. of strychnine. The next morning Cry stal Krause was dead.

"CRISS CROSSE SCRATCHING IS
 EASY AS CAN BE
Voting Mechanisms Enable Electors to Vote for or Against Any Candidate for Any Office.

< James H. Hardie and Leon Baker the machinists whose duty it is to get the voting machines ready for the coming election. called particular at tention, today to the means by which any. candidate for particular office may be voted or scratched at the op- ton of the voter, even though the names to be voted, or scratched are not directly above, or below, each other, on the machine. Thus, in vot- ing for members of the board of ed ucation, assuming that there are eight candidates, nominated by the Democratic, Republican and the two
 Socialist parties, any two may be voted, and when the vote is done, the machine is locked against the other six. This is true of any other office for which two or more persons may be chosen. A year ago some voters did not understand that ttcriss cross'' scratching was possible. But the ma chine could not be lawfully used, if such scratching were not possible.
