Investigation into the life Of Fred
G. Thompson. held as the "girl" ban
dit slayer of Richard G. Tesmer, Chi
cago insurance man, shot down In
holdup, has revealed what is believed
to be the oldest triangle that ever
came before criminologists.
While masqueradlng as Frances Car
rick, wife Of Frank Carrick, an auto
mobile mechanic, Thompson was liv-
ing as the husband Of Marie Clark In
the same apartment on Schiller street.
During the war, when the draft was
on, Carrick swore that he was the hus-
band Of Frances, who was depending
upon him for support, and on account
Of this he was exempted from service.
A charge of perjury has now been
placed against him for this Marie
Clark, after being grilled for days, was
finally released. Freddy-Frances, who
was identified by Mrs. Tesmer as her
husbands slayer, has been formally
charged with murder In the first de-
gree and removed to Jail.
Restored to MasculInIty.
Up to this time the enigma Of the
police department had maintained his
composure. The police had allowed
him to retain his woman's apparel, to-
shave and rouge to his hearts con-

Thompson reached the county Jail.
There Warden Westbrook decided he
would not allow the new arrival to be
placed with the women, but would be
assigned to q cell with a man In the
mems department. Thereupon Freddy
Frances was deprived of his silk stock
ings, step-ins, dress and all feminine
puffs and frills. And so it was that
legal authorities restored Thompson
to the masculinity which he had prac-
tically discarded as boy.
Mcdonnell had compelled the police
to bring Freddy-Frances into court
upon formal charge Of murder. They
had wished more time to investigate
and to interrogate the girl" identified
by Mrs. Tesmer. Crowds had gathered
In the South Clark street court to get
a glimpse Of the strangest prisoner
who was ever held by the police.
Freddy Frances was newly shaved and
rouged, his eyebrows were arched and
there were evidences of the lipstick
His black dress contained the wrinkles

Mcdonnell insisted that the police
had no case other than the doubtful
Identification Of Mrs. Tesmer, who had
identified several other suspects. but
Judge Roone continued the hearing
to give the police more time to work
up their case. Mcdonnell then insist
ed upon the transfer of his client to
the county Jail, where "she' could get
decent" treatment and better food.
II was not until his client reached the
taiI that 1t was found that Westbrook
would force "her'' into mems clothes.
Had Freddy-Frances known this "he"
or "she" would have preferred to re-
main indefinitely with the police,
though the hunks are hard and the
food rather plain.
The amazing announcement tnat
Freddy-Frances was living as the wire
of one man and the husband OF an
other occupant of the dizzy Schiller
street fiat came after 'her' alibi had
been shaken by the persistent ques-
tioning Of Anthony Kusher, another
pal.

Ismet Pasha, Hailed as Savior oi

Not Signatory.

Lausanne.-The Lausanne peace
treaty formally establishing peace
between the European powers and
Turkey has been signed.
The general treaty, formally ending
the state of war, was signed by Great
Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Greece,
Roumania and Turkey.
The United States was not sigma
tory but will negotiate a separate
peace.
Jugo-Slavia announced at the last
minute her refusal to sign on the
ground that to do so would be harm
full for her national interests. The
treaty distributes the Ottoman debt
among countries like Jugo-SlaWia,
which acquired parts of the former
Ottoman empire.
Jugo-Slavia maintain that she an
nexed her former Turkish territory as
the result Of the Balkan wars and
not as consequence of the general
European or Turco-Greek wars. She
prefers, therefore, to abide by the
treaties of London and Bucharest
which fixed the political status of the
Balkans. She has agreed to negotiate
directly with the European powers
regarding her possible responsibility
in connection with the Turkish debt
The general treaty comprises 149
articles, divided into five parts-polit
lical, financial economic, communica
tions and general clauses.
The commercial section stipulates
the application of the Turkish tariff
inaugurated in 1916, multiplied by a
coefficient corresponding to the de

probation Of the Turkish currency.
The great amount of work done by
the near peace conference which
the peace signed today is the out
come, is indicated by the number of
documents it, produced In addition
to the general treaty these include
the convention setting up the regime
for the Turkish straits, to which Rus
sia and Bulgaria adhere, and a sep
Thrace, commercial and amnesty ac-
cords and protocols on concessions,
minorities, judicial safeguards for for
eigners and documents by which Bel
GUM and Portugal adhere to certain
parts of the treaty.
Attempts to gain preferential treat
ment in the future of economic con-
tracts for foreign companies were de-
feated, as we also the effort to vail
date disputed British concessions in
the petroleum fields of Mesopotamia.
Turkey has been at war for IL con-
secutive years and conclusion of the
Lausanne negotiations gives her sore

national reconstruction and develop

Turkey. although vanquished in the
World War, as an ally of Germany,
