WINTERS GIRLS BODY FOUND

WINTERS GIRLS BODY FOUND
Following a nationwide search
lasting more than year, during
which time one clew after another
was run down by detectives but all
to no avail, the~body of Katherine
Winters, 9-year-old daughter of DR..
William A. Winters. a dentist of New
castle, Ind, has been discovered in
a lonely grave in Potter's field at
Urban, III.
. Operatives working under the d1-
rection of William ]. Burns are given
the credit for the discovery, although
the clew which eventually led to the
finding of the body was discovered by
Robert H Abel, an Indianapolis de-
tective who worked on the case up to
two months ago when he caused the
arrest of the child's father, step
mother and a boarder, w. H. Cooper.
Great secrecy is being maintained
by those in close touch with the find
ing of the body. The only persons at
the grave when it was opened were
Coroner ]. ]. Hanmore, Sheriff E. W.
Davis of Champaign county, ILL.,,
Theodore Brown, sexton of the ceme-
terry, and two Burns operatives.
The identification of the body is
believed to be complete. The oper-
atives were equipped with complete
description of the clothing worn by
the child when she disappeared on
March 20, 1913, after starting out to
sell needles for home charity af-
fair in the little Indiana town. Those
who have followed the case are in
clined to give the majority of the
credit to Detective Abel, who was
employed by the mayor of Newcastle
to ferret out the mystery. Abel
worked on the case for some time and
it is known that he traced an angle to
Urbana, Ill The Burns men claim
to have discovered Florida angle,
believing that the body was shipped
to Florida and then brought back to

SAYS JUDGE NEIL is WRONG

SAYS JUDGE NEIL Is WRONG
Judge Henry Neil of Oak Park
seems to have gotten into hot water
with his order preventing Oak Park
mothers from going out to work. He
has also instructed employers of Oak
Park not to hire them.
"Mr. Neil cannot enforce law that
isn't law" said DR.. Anna z. Blount,
president of the Suburban Civics and
Equal Suffrage Club. He is really
doing nothing but expressing his own
opinion, making pronouncement.
He would have a difficult task if he
tried to deprive a mother of the 81 a
day which as an independent human
being she has a right to earn"
''Mr. Neil is wrong both morally
and legally" said Mrs. A. F. Wilcox,
president of the Woman's Auxiliary
of the Oak Park Club. HE is radical
in his ideas, but he cannot enforce
this order of his. To deprive a woman
of her work would be not only I'M
lawful but unjust. I'VE have provided
the splendid Elizabeth Charlton Day
Nursery to take care of babies while
the mothers work, anyway"
