And then this man Hooters
came into her life, and everything
became changed:

was a gambler and a drinker and
no-good. But he was very hand

beautiful.
FIe always was with Aunt En-

years ago, always making love to
her, always flattering her.
"She became infatuated with
him. She went to beauty doc
tors to have herself made younger
looking. You must remember
that she was a lonely widow, a.
widow whose dreams of children
had failed to become true. And
besides, she was woman, and l
suppose all women love the fiat
terry of handsome men.
I used to tell her that Koet-
tiers was no good, and 1 think she
believed me against her own
wishes, for she would not marry

Koetters stole from her. He in
duced her to mortgage her little
home for $500 and entrust the

He disappeared with the

after that. I suppose Hooters
came back, and with his, sunny
smile induced her to trust him

"And then lured her to Chicago
and murdered her for the sake of
the money she carried"
The police are convinced that
Koettets planned the murder
