THAT GIRL BANDIT
WAS REALLY A man

CHICAGO. June 20-The alleged
smiling slayer of Richard G. Tes-
mer, wealthy Chicago insurance
man, is in jail today-not the blue
eyed girl bandit whom the police
expected to find, but a man who for
thirteen years had lived the dual
role of man and woman
In all of that time he was the
legal wife" of the man in whose
home he was arrested yesterday,
although there was nothing to indt-
cate that the husband had been de-
ceived by the masquerade
Attired in one of his feminine
costumes, his hennaed wig showing
wisps of the fashions bobbed hair
under the latest millinery creation.
he was taken Immediately before
Mrs Tesmer even before the identity
of his sex was established.
The widow, who has scrutinized
scores of suspects, said without fall
tering that he was the person, dress
ed as a woman, who shot her hus-
band down after robbing them of a
trifling amount with the aid of a
male companion.
THAT sardonic grin; that satanic
SMILE" she said ~fiercely, Il would

The police had ordered the man to
smile to aid Mrs. Tesmer in attempt

Later, at police headquarters,
where detectives questioned him in

them.
Police surgeons who were called

STRIKE
ENDED TODAY
Men to Return to Work in
Trenton and Other Cities
Strike 8 Months Old

TRENTON, June 20:-Announce-
ment is made here today that -e
strike of sanitary potters is ended.
The executive board of the National
Brotherhood of Operative Potters
has ordered the men to return to
work in shops in Trenton and west
ern cities where the firms will con-
sent to take them back. The strike,
which has been in progress for near
ly eight months, affected close to
1900 men in Trenton and vicinity.
No agreement either on wages or
working conditions is asked by the
brotherhood officials in ordering
their men back to work. They are
willing to have their men return on
the basis of wages and working con-
ditions now prevailing in the re-
spective shops for casters, and to
have them return on the basis of
wages prevailing in other branches
of the trade.
This mean that these skilled pot
ters will accept employment at the
same rate of wages as is now pale
unskilled workers. The executive
board feels that the union men, by
reason of their superior skill and ex-
~perience, will prove more efficient
than men who have had no such
thorough training in the trade.
1t is thought by the union officials
that, while their men will receive
much less for casting at the out
set than they earned before leaving
their benches, they will make them
selves so efficient in this work that
eventually their income will exceed
that which they previously received
This increased efficiency they main
tain will be of mutual benefit, be-
cause it will mean increased pro.
duction for the manufacturer.
The kilnmen, dippers, pressers,
saggermakers, packers and mold
makers, will all return on the basis
of a reduction in wages of approx
imately 10 per cent. The kilnmen
will accept a price per piece, instead
of per kiln, and so will the Gippers.
The action of the executive board
today followed a vote taken early in
June by the various locals of the
brotherhood. This vote vested in the
executive board the authority to
make a settlement of the senitaEy
strike upon any basis agreeable to
these officials. The latter by their
action today full responsible
ity therefore, for the ending of the
strike.
The executive board stood solidIy
last October against the calling of a
strike. The members OF the board
pleaded wigl the men at that time to
accept the ten per cent wage cut
by the manufacturers rath-
err than 10 walk out. But the radi-
ca element in the organization
brought about the strike.

II can't let him get away with
it,"
Turc said he had asked her to re-
turn the pistol, but she wouldn't and
he went home.
After the shooting, Turc contin-
ued. Mrs. Buzzi said:
Il shot Fred. If I could not have
him, no other woman could
The witness testified that he asked
her what she had done with the pis-
toll and she replied:
Put it in the a to make it look
like a suicide. If it comes to the
worst, I'll suffer the consequences.
If you want to squeal, go ahead and
