MOTHER TO LAY BARE HER
LIFE TO SAVE sew
Will Tell Secrets Guarded Sa-
cretly So Many Years
II Necessary.

Los Asgeles, Cal.-The story of
her life, even the intimate chap
ters of her acquaintance with Sena-
tor Harry S. New, of Indiana,
which have been sacredly guarded,
will be told by Mrs. Lulu Burger
to save her son, Harry S. New, Jr.,
from the gallows.
I This purpose was uppermost in
the mind of the distraught woman
today as she talked to a reporter
while, the. train bore her toward
Los Angeles, and the hoy" for
whom she is longing to make what
ever sacrifice the exigencies of de-
! tense may suggest.
4. Does Not See Son
! But she did not see her son. I'm
der this self-control of the mother
was chaos. She had not the
strength to see him, and a physi-
clan told her he must rest before
! the ordeal.
So she was taken to the home of
a friend. Tomorrow morning she
will go to the county Jail and take
into her arms a murderer, in whose
moral innocence she believes, she
says, "as in her God"
New himself shrank from the
meeting today, and was relieved
when he knew it was to be post
phoned
There is no one in the world
like my mother" he said. No one
else ever could be or could have
been what she is to me. To see
me in prison with this charge
against me-what a Homecoming.
But when l tell her the story
that my mind was blank, that
didn't know what l was doing, that
the girl loved was going to be
lost to me forever, l guess she will
understood better than anyone else.
/, that tlsS-3ottom dropped out of my
world"
1t was learned today that guaran
tees of financial assistance have
come from the east, at least suffi-
cient to take the case thru it's pre-
liminary stages. The promise of
funds has come nominally from a
well known man in Indianapolis.
This circumstance has led to the
belief that no expense will be
spared to clear New of the murder
charge.
On the other hand, the district
attorney will bring to the task of
proving New wanton homicide
the best brains of his office. The
plea of insanity. If it is advanced,
will be counted as ridiculous and
pictured as the last desperate hope
of the defense.
Mrs. Burger left the train at
Pasadena, where she was met by
her daughter, News half sister.
She visited her home and then
came to Los Angeles by automobile,
directly to the Office OF News at
torney. 1t was reported arrange
ments have bees made for an at
tOrney OF national fame is the de-
Tense. Further inquiries were said
to have been made into the plans
for the defense by a CLOSE friend Of
Senator New.
Harry Is the Kind OF bow who
thinks all women good" sh. r,i.
the attorney. This girl was his
first sweetheart. He is a good boy
and just the kind to go mad when
the girl he loves more than anyone
in the world said she would not
marry him and refused to be the
mother Of their child"
New is completely exhausted
from his nights of visions of the
face OF the dead girl. His face is
lined, haggard and almost distorted
from suffering and remorse. His
eyes are pulled out of all semblance
of normal eyes from weeping. New
never cries when there is anyone
to see him. but maintains as best
he can his composure.
