Bill in Next Legislature.

Creation of a metropolitan park dis
trict comprising all of Marion County,

would be framed so as to permit coun.
ties having larger cities in them
throughout the State TO adopt the
metropolitan park district plan
Need for such a scheme is evident
in Marion County, Bookwalter said.
Indianapolis is growing in all direc-
tions far beyond the city limits. II
the new additions are to be provided
with modern park and recreation ia.

now, he said.
The city plan commission now has
power to control development to some
extent through its right TO disap-
prove plants Of all territory within
five miles of the city limits. but it
has no power 20 procure or develop
park land and boulevards.

Of his statement, r. ]. Johnson, who
had formerly said he gave Watson
the gun on the night Of the shooting,
admitted that he had not done so.
Dissension among members or the

been working on the case, declared
arrests were made prematurely by
the uniform side Of the police depart

was made by Patholman Frank Reilly
after the arrest of Watson as a sus-
pect and the subsequent arrest of
four others. John Couch, AZ, was
arrested last night, making the fifth

the police wanted to talk with him
in connection with the case and gave
himself up. He was the driver of a

Station following the shooting and in
which a beaded bag containing five
large cartridges was found.

months.
The family had been i'll for several
days.
Police based their belief in the
arsenic theory on a unmailed letter
which Henderson had written to the
Ohio board of health at Columbus.
The letter lay on the floor of the
Henderson home, where neighbors
found the six bodies.
"I believe we have been given ar
senic," the letter said. IT want you
to tell me II any arsenic could have
got in my well and I am sending you
some samples Of cornmeal from which
have been making mush. If It
wouldn't cost too much l want you

fallen.
House Left Open

man in the Pennsylvania railroad
shops here. The letter said he worked
nights and many times the house.
when Mrs. Henderson and the chill
dren were out shopping, was left
open.
The letter made no mention Of
enemies. It dealt only with the pos
sibility OF there being arsenic In the
food.
"As write" the letter continued,
II am feeling worse and so is my
wife. The children have had several
bad attacks in the last few days, but
are feeling better tonight. My feet
and hands are swollen and I can
hardly see"
