Mob Protesting Water
Famine Batters Mu-
nicipal Building.

Mexico City. Dec. 1.-(By The A.
sociated Press.)-Federal' troops
guarded . badly battered municipal
building today while casualties
we're counted Of q pitched battle
between the police and mob which
attempted to storm the building last
night. The death list stood at II
today, while Is persons are known
to have been seriously injured and
80 slightly hurt.
The city, after q night Of wild ex-
citement, found its main plaza be-
fore the municipal building a
shambles OF broken glass, timbers
and stone.
The trouble started when a crowd
marched to the city hall to protest
against aldermen held responsible
for the water famine. The demon
stratiOn was intended by the labor
unions as q peaceful protest, and
several hundred persons paraded
before proceeding to the hall to
voice an adverse sentiment with the
city government.
Yelling invectives against the al
dermen, the mob, numbering 1000,
hurled stones and other missiles.
When the demonstrators made. q
concerted rush toward the building
the police guards fred over their
heads, but when it became apparent
the mob would enter the building
the police fired their rifles point
blank. .t5s
Staggered, the demonstrators re-
tired, carrying their dead and in
jured. In half an hour they returned,
and breaking windows, entered the
hall and began to set fire to its con-
tents. Valuable documents, some
dating back several centuries, were
tossed into the streets and city
krecords were given to the winds.
Troops In Action.
Federal troops came but the in
truders were not elected before the
building had been fired in many
places, and furniture wrecked. A
line Of hose which the IRE depart
ment brought into play despite the
water shortage, was successful tn
holding back the crowds outside.
Several attempts to continue the
| demonstration were made later but
demonstrants found q Gordon ol
soldiers about the building and con.
tented themselves with jeering and
hoOting.

GREENFIELD, Ind, Feb 6.--Doubt
has been expressed here since the ar
rest of Mrs. Clara Gibson Carl charged
with the double killing of her husband,
Frank Carl. and father-in-law, Alonzo
b. Carl. as 10 the exact number of
times that Mrs. Carl has been mar
ried. 1t is known that before her
marriage to Frank Carl in October,
1920, that she had been married tol
Robert Gibson. of Ohio, in March,
1908
Mrs. Carl met Frank Carl in Hia-
watha, Kas. Hiawatha citizens have
raised the question as to the mar
riages of Mrs Carl The rumor has
been current in Hiawatha since in
dictments were returned against Mrs.
Carl that the woman has been mar
ried more than twice. From Seneca,
Kas.. reports come that Mrs. Carl had
as many as three and possibly four
husbands
Report Not Surprising
Women at Seneca, who knew about
the meeting of Frank Carl and Mrs.
Gibson. say that the acquaintance
proved to be a matter of love at first
sight Mrs Gibson, it is said, met
Carl at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Monroe Smith in Seneca, and that
two days later the engagement was
announced At that time, Seneca resi-
dents report Carl had been widower
of only a few weeks. The marriage
took place a few weeks after the an
nouncement of the engagement
DR.. Emory, a physician at Hiawatha,
who was in charge of the post-mortem
examinations made on the bodies Of
Frank Carl and his father. AlonZo
Carl, is reported as not having been
surprised when he was informed that
arsenic caused their deaths. He is
purported as saying that all of Frank
Carls organs were in an apparently
normal condition. Il was unable to
detect the presence of fatal disease
and the supposed fever ailment was
not disclosed in the autopsy he said
Consults Spirits
II spiritualism can be credited with
authoritativeness, Harvey Scruggs, a
spiritualist at Hiawatha, has obtained
some information on the death mys-
terry of Mrs. Carl's husband and faith
er-n-law After communicating with
the spirits. Scruggs is credited with
saying that there were three persons
involved in the death of the man.
Many little stories, recalled by the
incidents of the past week. of casual
acquaintance with Mrs. Carl, under
different circumstances. are being re-
lated. He was such dear old man.

bered to have said in discussing the
elderly Alonzo Carl soon after his
death in August, 1921, and her &C
tons. as recalled by some at that
time. were indicative of sorrow and
regret. ..
Showed Hospitality
The parties which she, as Mrs. Glib
son, gave to the young people and
the moral scrupulousness she showed
in regard to their not dancing at her
home if they were not allowed to do
so at home, are recalled by those who
were in attendance at these functions.
The men who were employed in the
building of the cement National road,
which runs past her farm, have re-
marked that when the gangs were
near her place she was known TO have

others of which these are examples,
caused many people to resent the in
vestigauons concerning Mrs. Carl

had letters and communications from
many who knew this side of her char

demning the allegations which had
been whispered about and the writ
ers of the anonymous letters which
