Husband Charges Wife
With Killing Twins;
Strange Trial Begins

HAMMOND, Ind, Oct. 1S.-Ac-
cused by her husband of killing the
two babies, twins, which he SAID
were born to her last December, MRS.
Hazel McNally, "a, faced trial here
today, claiming the missing twins
were nothing more than cleverly
constructed dummy dolls, mother
ed'' by her until last April to salts
fv her husbands ambition to be
father.
Both Frank McNally, the husband,
and his estranged wife, asserted
their claims would be proved by wit
nesses called to testify at the trial.
Guided by lanterns and spurred
by McNally's charges, police dug in
the yard of the home where the Nc
Nally's lived until last April, last
night, searching for the "bodies"
they had oeen told might be buried
there.
In support of her claim, Mrs. Nc
Nally declared she told her hus-
band, after their marriage in April,
1921, that she had undergone an
operation at Green Bay, Wis, in
1919, which made it impossible for
her to become mother.
ION one OCCASION" Mrs. McNally
said, 1--WE inserted an advertisement
offering to adopt a child, but moth
ing came of it. inally, his desire
to-be a father became SO acute that
we contrived the hoax"
Mrs. McNally said she passed the
hint on to neighbors and as the
time approached to announce the
birth, went so far as to engage a
nurse and then purchased two skill
fully constructed dolls.
She said she kept the twins"
hidden from neighbors until last
April, when she and her husband
circulated the report that they had
sent the children to Chicago
Mrs. McNally said she left her
husband September % because she
could no longer bear his under
handed tricks and his habit of doing
hateful little things"
All of his wife's story. McNallv
said, is the desperate defense of a
woman who has done away with her
children. He said he had seen her
fondle them and nurse them.
One of the witnesses summoned
was Mrs. James Griffiths, a nurse
and former neighbor. McNally said
Mrs. Griffiths would testify that the
twins were flesh and blood. Mrs,
McNally declared that Mrs. Crit
fiths would have to admit that the
two forms were only dolls.
Mrs. julius Latzko, another neigh
Dor said to have seen the twins. was
called to testify.

Announcements that one of the lead

The copper stocks were well bought

Continued buoyancy of grain prices

was reflected in the demand for railroad

Periodically London newspapers open
fire upon the Mormon missionaries in

their expulsion from the country. The
present winter campaign is on in full
blast, and the newspapers conducting the
siege have made frantic demands that
the Home Office deport all Mormons lila

An effort is being made to maintain
prices of pig iron at $40 for foundry and
SIS for basic and on LOCO tons of basic
lower than SIS was quoted. This firmer
tone in the market is due to a heavier
inquiry for all grades, coupled with the
fact that merchant furnaces now have
