INDICTMENT Of
CLARK IS ASKED
By United Press

By United Press
HUNTINGTON, Ind. Nov. 20.-In-
dictment OF Thomas Clark, slayer of
his wife and son, will be asked Of
special grand jury called for Wednes
day to investigate the double murder.
Il am convinced that Clark still
had sufficient possession of his facul-
ties to know what he was doing,
Prosecutor Charles Haller said.
His mentality seems to be sufti-
ciently clear even at this time to- re-
call all of the incidents. 1 cannot
say that he could be regarded as an
insane person to the extent that he
is answerable for his acts.
"I feel that it is my duty to take
this before the grand jury the same
as any other murder"
Haller interviewed Clark in the Jail
at Bluffton and was told how the man
crushed his wife's skull with a club
when she tried to force him to scrub
the basement floor.
He and his wife were estranged,
Clark said, because of her familiarity
with Cap Bell, a stock buyer. Clark
said he killed the boy because he
watched the murder of Mrs Clark.

MAYOR STARTS RELIEF MOVEMENT
Is Beautiful Young Hei1ess Sane or
Insane? State AzCuitS Court Verdict
BIZ NEA Serpice


BOSTON, Nov. 20.-Is the 22-year-
old Dorothy Gordon sane or insane?
All Massachusetts is waiting for
the verdict of the court which is to
resume consideration of the question
Nov. "a.
A perplexing barrage Of charges,
denials and counter charges has
focused all eyes on the girl prisoner
in the Mclean Insane Asylum in
Waverley.
AS a sequel, the Rev. Roland D.
Sawyer, only clergyman in the Mas
sachusetts legislature and member Of
the house committee on public insti-
tutions, demanded a State investiga-
ton Of the Mclean Asylum and the
conditions surrounding the imprison-
ment of Miss Gordon.
Two men are fighting for custody
OF the beautiful young heiress-her
guardian. William Jardine, and her
uncle. John Gardiner, of Baldwin, l..
I. The latter. brother of Dorothys
mother, charges Jardine is unfit to
handle her $4,000 fortune and TO
conduct the Gordon Supply Company,
the business founded by her father.
The guardians fitness is the only
question the court is asked to decide,
but 1t will have n strong effect on
the question OF sanity.
Sensations Aired
Sensational charges were aired at
the first court hearing--that Jardine
did not believe Dorothy insane when
she was first taken to the asylum;
that she was placed there TO prevent
her marriage; that she was detained
against her will.
So bitter did the fight become that
Northumberland Alvan T. Fuller,
getting Governor inthe absence of Gov
ernor Cox, personally visited the asy-
lum and talked with Dorothy. He
says she told him she went to the
asylum voluntarily.
Next came allegations that Dor
othy had made an affidavit some time
ago saying she voluntarily chose Jar
dine. rather than her uncle, as guar
dian.
Gardiner, the uncle, succeeded in
gaining court permission for himself
and his attorney TO visit the girl.
Efforts Of others to see her have
been futile.
Physicians Statement
DR.. Frederick H Packard, head II
Mclean Asylum. denies Dorothy has
been ill-treated there or that she ever
expressed desire TO leave. She has
been there eighteen months and previ-
ously was there for a similar period.
having once been discharged as cured,
according to Packard.
