sion That He Slew Wife and
Ragged Stranger"

CHICAGO, Oct. 2l.-Lieut. Carl
Wanderer took the stand yester-
day in his trial for the murder OF
his wife, her unborn child and the
ragged stranger" the night of June
2l last Wanderer repudiated the
confession ne made to the Chicago
police that he killed his wife and an
unidentified man. While he did net
deny he had signed the confession
attributed to him, he declared II was
not true and had been made under
police compulsion.
PROTECTED HIS COUSIN.
He explained the fact that both
pistols in the case had been traced
TO him by saying he had claimed the
ownership OF the one belonging 10
the stronger because he wished to
protect his cousin. Fred Wanderer.
Asked IL he had killed his wife.
Wanderer answered in n nrm.' clear
voice:
NO. SIR"
lie also denied he had qusrreled
with his wife or that he had wanted
to get back into the army. He stated
that he had msde his confession after
several sleepless nights and system
homicide squad.
Insanity Is the defense put forth by
the attorneys defending wanderer.
DR.. w. j. Hickson, head of the Chi
cago Municipal Psychopathic Labora-
tory. was called as witness for the
defense before wanderer took the
stand. He told OF having examined
Wanderer in the county jail on Sep
tember 2. DR.. Hickson told first
about the "absurdity" test.
BELIEVES MIND GONE.
IL asked him." he testified, Ito point
out the incOngruity of such state
ments as these: The body OF a
woman was found cut up into eight
cen pieces. The police believe that
she committed suicide "A man was
struck by a street car and killed. At
the hospitals the doctors said he had
chance to recover
"Wanderer could not see any absur-
dity In statements OF this kind, which
usS ally are detected by children nine
or ten years old.
Il subjected him next to the SEN
tence' test. But he fell down sig
nally on that too. He could not COM
plete such obvious sentences as:
"The - is on the track 1.-The
COW gives -"

ton very weak / told him OF a
queer incident that happened in the

came, then a lawyer, then a minister.
said What happened?"
, "Wanderer thought it had been a
| wedding. How do you account for
the lawyer them" i asked him. He
was there as a witness or best man
was the reply.
"Then you believe the defendant is
insane?' asked Wanderers attorney.
Il do"
Was he insane on July Il, 1927
| THAT is the date on which Wan
derer killed his wife.)
He was"
And in July, 192O?" (when he
made his confession to the police.)
He was.
How long has he been insane"
"His dementian began, ! believe, al
birth"

tions contemplated. II this state

tion that IL was q tender OF political
support. the Implication is entirely
false"
Governor Coolidge said wartime

continues in forco empowers the Al
ministration to summon the man
power OF the country to preserve
order In any foreign country.

again-"They toast their shins until
they've found that corruption has
taken hold of their government. and
then they awaken and put in reform
government-and go back to toasting
their shins. They don't remember
that Mister Boss is on the job twenty
four hours a day and 365 days a year;
he Is not in business for ms health"
while, from my personal view
point, IL IL essential that we mix Wig
orously in politics by attending eau
cuses, conventions and by reading the
newspapers, i think IL is n short
sighted policy to look to office-hold-
ing as a career. 1t isn't a career at
all. A man ought to consider office
holding as duty to perform rather
than an honor to seek. He should be
ready only when he is called
Il have lived up to that" Mr.. Mar
shall brought his lips together with
evident satisfaction. 81 never dreamed
OF holding office"
PREFERS PRIVATE LIFE
Mr.. Marshall said he had Stunned
office, preferring his formula of pri-
vate citizen politics. However. while
he was on a summer vacation a move
ment arose for him for Governor of
Indiana, and he returned to find that
he was well along the path toward q
public career.
And" he added. "it has kept me
away ever since-twclve years. I'm
through now. i never expect to hold
office again. l am going back 10
work to earn a living. j don't know
what / will do.
Law? No. l have not tried a
case for many years. l have always
held to the belief that a lawyer never
knows where a case will lead him
when 1t begins. To a man who IL a
lawyer and who holds public office,
IL Is perilous thing to assume the
responsibility of the interests OF
others. 1 recall the case of one man
who was ruined absolutely in this
way
As in other matters, Mr.. Marshal's
views on ethical questions leave the
impression that he speaks from the
ment on things after he has seen
them tried. When IL came to discuss
ing the Vice Presidency, Mr.. Mar
shall raised his, hand.
oh" he said. wearily, to query
about Senator Harding's proposal for
elevating the Vice Presidency, they
all say that. Every President in his
campaign before election has said
something like that. They want to
flatter the running mate, to make
him feel good. After the election
Mr.. Marshalrs eyes twinkled confde n
tially-"they forget IT. And so does

GRANJON BLESSES
 CLARKDALE CHURCH

With the stately ceremonial of the Roman Catholic ritual, the new church edifice at Clarkdale was dedicated to the service of God by Bishop Granjon, of Tucson, bishop of the state of Ari- Zona.
 The bishop was assisted by Fathers Mayer and Nebrada, of the local par ishes, and Father Glamencia, of Prescott.
 The church was crowded to capacity and it was necessary to bring in ad- ditional chairs to accommodate the crowd which gathered to rejoice with the Roman Catholic people of Clark dale and their faithful preists on the consummation of the dream of new and suitable church which is at last realized.

NOTED INDIAN DOCTOR
 VISITS OLD ARIZ. HOME

Captured in a massacre which al most wiped out his tribe, carried off into slavery, sold to an alien, edu- cated among those whom he had been taught to regard as blood enemies, and then to win high honors at the hands of his benefactors is the exper- fence of Dr. Carlos Montezuma, of Chicago, who visited the district yes terday after a lapse of many years.
 The physician, who is full blood Pinal Apache Indian, accompanied by his wife, charming matron, left this morning for Riverside, California, where he win be the guest of friends for two weeks before returning to his practice in the Windy City.
 Has Thrilling History.
 Dr. Montezuma's life history reads like thrilling chapter from dime novel. Born at Weaver's Ranch, a short distance from Superior, he was dragged about for the first four years of his life from one hiding place to another, as his tribe carried on a con tinuous warfare with American sol diers. During that short space of time he was alternately carried and compelled to walk from the Grand Canyon to the lower reaches of So- nora, Mexico.
 Just as it appeared as if his life were to be cast in more peaceful chan nels, the most stirring espisode of his life occurred. Arrangements were made whereby the tribe was to enter into a truce with the U. S. govern ment. While the braves of the tribe were in San Pedro, meeting with army officers, raiding party of Pima ln- dians swooped down upon the unpro- tected camp, located near where Irons ranch is now, massacred most of the squaws and children, and carried off the rest to the Salt River vally.
 the rest to the Salt River valley.
 A few days later, Montezuma was sold for $50 to Mir. and Mrs. John Teeley, at Adamville, near Florence. Teeley was an itinerant photographer who was then on his way to his home in Chicago. Montezuma was taken with them, reared in their home and was given an opportunity to enter the medical profession, and after four years at Chicago university, grad uated with high honors, and took up the practice of medicine in the city in which he was educated. He is now recognized as an authority on intes- tinal disorders.
 We'll Cultured Man.
 Although his thoughts, culture and actions are those of a college grad uate and a successful professional man, the contrast of his appearance is startling to one familiar with h. dians. Particularly so, his polished diction, fluent gestures and easy ad- dress.
 Dr. Montezuma, although he is not familiar with one word of his own tongue, is one of the foremost advo- cates of measures designed to better the condition of Indians. He has as sisted in securing the passage of

reclamation projects.
 Visited Presidential Candidates.
 Just prior to coming to this district he was received by both Governor Cox and Senator Harding whom he interviewed with relation to their at- titude concerning contemplated pro- grams of the Indian department. AL though he is a democrat, ordinarily the physician has been won over to the support of the G. O. P. candidate.
 Governor Cox he stated this morning." is not the man to place in power at this critical time. The con- trast between the candidates is re- markable. The governor impresses one as a speculator, one who gambles upon possibilities, and none too we'll balanced for the position to which he aspires.
 FavOrs Senator Harding.
 Senator Harding, on the contrary conveys, at first glance, the impress sion of tremendous, latent, reserve power. One realizes instinctively he is a cool, keen-witted, farsighted statesman. This impression is height ened by his address and the forceful logic apparent in his most common place utterance. He is the man for the place and looks the part.
 "By both, was received most cor dially. By Governor Cox in all the trappings his immense wealth makes possible, and by Senator Harding in his modest and intensive American home, and my faith inclines to the latter. believe most sincerely the American people would be grieviously disappointed in Governor Cox, were he to be elected president, which, l am happy to say, is not remotely pro- able if the sentiment I have encount- cred during recent trip through the proper guide. ."-Globe Bulletin.
