Sent to Kentucky on Man

INDIFFERENT AS TO
HIS POSSIBLE FATE
Bigamist and Forger Main
tains Silence as to His Ca
reer, Even Refusing to
State What Age Is.

While the authorities are searching
for further evidence as to the crimi-
nal acts Of Paul Peter Apkins. biga-
mist and forger, who also may be ac-
cused Of manslaughter, time passes
lightly for the man who is confined in
the county Jail, but awaiting his trial
in the Wayne circuit court.
He is slated under the name OF
"Apkins," though some doubt exists
name. There is also doubt as to
whether Des Moires, Ia, or Stegar,
dom Of the Jail, such as it is, but is
not permitted to see anyone who is
stranger to the authorities. He has
not asked the advice of an attorney.
Report was current in the court
house circles today that he would be
arraigned today but this was denied
by the authorities, who have as yet
filed no charge in the circuit court,
but are awaiting word from Kentucky
as to the condition of Miss Elizabeth
Young, of Mich holasville, KY, whom he
married and drugged and robbed. The
young woman is a raving maniac and
1t is not believed will live two months
May Go to kentucky.
Unless improvement is noted in the
woman's condition the authorities
probably will hold Apkins here for
two or three months on one of the nu-
merous felony charges which they will
file. In case Of her death it is expect
ed that Indiana will surrender the man
to Kentucky justice on a manslaugh-
ter charge.
That Apkins is Indifferent to public
opinion was manifested today He re-
fused to talk about himself. not even
so much as to state his age. He says
he does not know how old he is. He
says this to the authorities and to
others. Apkins declares that he will
not know his age until he communi-
Gates with his father, whose name. he
says. is Edward Apkins, of Chicago,
address unknown to anyone here but
the prisoner. He denies Des Moines
or Stegar as his home. Chicago is
where he makes his home. he says.
and so he informed some of the un-
fortunate girls and women with whom
he corresponded. The man says it is
'nobody's business" who he is, where
he is from, what he intends to do and
whether the charges are true. When
arraigned in police court, he plead gull
ty to forgery charge.
His confinement and the serious
charges against him. including the pos
sible murder indictment of Ken
tucky court, doesn't worry him in the
least. In fact he apparently enjoys
the Jail as place Of abode. He plays
cards with the other prisoners, talks
with them on different subjects, but
keeps sirgulariy silent on anything re-
1ating to himself
