an Indianapolis hospital in a precari-
Gus condition.
When she had been taken to an
Indianapolis hospital suffering self
inflicted bullet wound the young wo-
man who says she Is sixteen years old,
declared she had married the slayer
of Schlansky, who is known to her as
Roy Anderson, in Danville, Ill, July
s. 1919. She says her name before
marriage was Audrey Baker.
Picture is OF Brokaw.
The girl Identified the picture of
Brokaw. who is wanted by the Pitts
burg police for the robbery OF a sec
ond hand dealer in a Pittsburg hotel
and who the indianapolis police de-
clare killed Schlansky, as that of her
husband Because of this identit1ca
ton and the feeling that she could
not stand the disgrace of being muir
derer's wife she made the attempt on
her life she says.
The story of the girl Is being in
vestigated and IL ii Is found to be
true II will go far toward clearing
Joseph Ellis of the suspicion now
hanging over him, as the boy was
with his father in Los Angeles at
the time of Brokaw's marriage and an
alibi can be established. This fact
did as much as anything else toward
relieving the fears of Jacob Ellis and
his two daughters here.
Joseph Ellis is not yet seventeen
years OF age, his birthday coming
in November, and though he bears
some resemblance to the picture OF
Brokaw. the picture OF Brokaw shows
he is a man much older than young
Ellis.

has been called upon when the youth
was in trouble Of any kind--though
his difficulties have all, been of,triviai
