Patrolman Hebble Couldn' t
Sleep, After Being Up All
Night, So He Took Prof.
Boris to the Chief.
,BORRIS INDIGNANT;
CALLS 1T OUTRAGE
Says the Patrolman Must Be
Discharged or He Will Re-
sign His Position at Earl
ham College.

At ten o'clock in the morning music
hath no charms for Officer Harry Heb
BILE, who at that hour is trying to get
some sleep after pounding his beat
through long and sultry night. Con-
sequently this morning when the SON.
orous notes of I'll Trovatore" issued
from the throat of Prof. Aurele Boris,
head of the vocal department at Earl
ham, who was instructing a pupil in
one of the rooms of the Starr Piano
company store, sailed across the
street, entered the bed room of Officer
Hebble and percolated into his ears,
putting sleep to fight, Hebble was in
dignant. Finally, his patience ex-
hausted, the officer kicked away the
bed sheets, put on his uniform and
hurried to the piano store, where he
placed the astonished soloist under ar
rest for disturbing the peace" and
escorted him to police headquarters.
There Prof. Boris was released on
his promise to appear in police court
Friday morning. However he will not
be obliged to face the mayor, as City
Attorney Gardner this afternoon stat
ed he would not file any charge
against Prof. Boris.
Boris Is Indignant.
To say that Prof Boris is indig-
nant over his arrest is to employ a
mild term. He is mad-not angry
just mad
Prof. Boris telephoned.to Presi-
dent Kelly and informed him that un-
less the College authorities succeeded
in having Hebble discharged from the
police force, he (Borris) would re-
sign his position at the college Then
Prof. Boris told his troubles to the
reporters.
Boris says he has been done a
great injustice and that Hebble had
absolutely no grounds for arresting
him as he was teaching music in
rooms rented for that purpose. Heb
BILE, it is understood, claims there has
been great deal of complaint be-
cause of Boris musical work.
President Kelly says that he in
tends to take some action in the affair
and has been trying to get into COM
munication with the city officials.

SERIES OF CRIMES
Following the Story of Susie
Gunsaulie, Her Brother
Guy, Is Arrested.

With the arrest of Guy Gunsaulie
at indianapolis yesterday and the
probability of Earl Debois being ar
rested at Detroit in the near future,
Sheriff Steen and the other authori-
ties believe the chances good for the
clearing up of the mystery connected
with the burglarizing of the Farmers
and citizens bank of Milton, the rob-
berry and burning of the Johnson drug
store at Cambridge City, and the rob-
berry of the Centerville postofice, all
of which occurred several months ago
and constituted series of very bold
depredations in the western part of
the county.
Gunsaulie, who with Earl Debois
and the latter's two sisters, is impri-
Gated in the robberies. of several Mil
ton stores in the confession of Susie
Gunsaulie, has admitted his guilt of
these crimes to Sheriff Albert Steen.
This he did when being taken to the
county Jail from Cambridge City by
the sheriff last evening. He also said
Earl Debois was his accomplice.
Among other things fGunsaulie said
he stole were clock, a revolver and a

Detroit and his arrest by the Detroit
police is expected soon.
More Serious Crimes.
Sheriff Steen declared today that
he had not questioned Gunsaulie on
the bank, postoffiee and drug store
robberies in which safes were blown.
but that he and the prosecuting at
torney would make an attempt to
sweat" him out on those crimes
Immediately. He said he believed
that Gunsaulie and Debois. if not i'm
plicated in the crimes, know all about
them and can give information which
will clear up the mystery. He said
that the manner in which the robber-
les were effected and the complete
covering up of all clues had always
led him to believe that it was local
talent that engineered the burglaries
and that professional cracksmen ac-
comphshed the blowing of the safes.
II is his belief that Gunsaulie and De
