the trial Of John F. Ellis, detective.
Ellis and other detectives were en-
ployed by the senator to escort former
Sergt. Alexander Robertson Of the
British army out Of America. The
Culberson family admitted, after the
failure Of the attempt, that they want
ed Robertson to leave this country,
hoping by this means to break up the
romance of the young Briton and
their only child, Mary.
When Robertson had Ellis arrested
and created an official scandal by de-
claring that the senator had tried to
Shanghai" him. the British embassy
hastened to offer him its support. And
1t is through the activity of British
government agents that Ellis went on
trial on the kidnapping charge.
The Culbersons do not deny that
they employed the private sleuths.
But they deny that they instructed
the detectives to pose as agents for
the Department of Justice.
One Of the most interesting bits of
Robertson's story is his description
Of the efforts used by the detectives
to prove to Miss Culberson that her
sweetheart was unworthy Of her affec-
ton.

three months ago little Frank Plaske-
wicz, nine years old, and his brother,
Bruno, six, cringed In terror against
the wall Of the bedroom of their home
at 1915 South Hermitage avenue and
watched their father, John, thirty
years old, stab to death their mother,
Magdalene. AS his mother dropped
to the floor, little Frank ran into the

The slayer was taken to the police

Policeman Stachowski saw the chill
