to Save Burned Baby,
Quits BootIegging
Decision Announced on Operating
Table at City Hospital
He's Happy

E~1EN days must elapse before
doctors can tell whether the
sacrifice of Harry Ice, III
W. North St. will mean complete
recovery of his daughter. Evelyn,
4, from third degree burns.
But you can't convince Ice that
Evelyn isn't going to be up and
romping in a few weeks.
Meanwhile, Ice will occupy a
bed in city hospital and make
plans for the future. He has
sworn off" of the bootlegging
business, which caused him to be
Federal prisoner in Marion
County Jail for five months.
Ice "swora off, as ne lay on the
operating table after doctors had
removed about fifty square inches
of his skin and grated it upon
Evelyns body. Evelyn was burned
in January, when a match was
lighted to aid in search for her
doll. which had fallen behind a
trunk. Her dress caught fire.
Freedom Is Near
The father was transferred to
city hospital from the Jail for the
operation upon permit of Judge
a. 3. Anderson. His term will Oe
over by the time he RECEIVERS.
In the waiting room outside the
operating room Evelyn and her
daddy lay on hospital cots and
talked things over late Wednesday.
Fifty inches today-but, gee
it's all right if it helps her" said
Ice. I'D let them cut off my leg
if il would help her.
We're having big chat, aren't
we baby?"
The little girl nodded.
Kiss daddy"
Evelyn turned her lips sweetly
toward him.
How are you, buddy?"
''Aw right" Evelyn's voice was
weak.
In the operating room Evelyn
was put to sleep and local an
esthetic administered TO Ices leg
Thought He Had Nerve
lees hand trembled. but he
smiled and remarked:
I've had my machine riddled
with bullets whizzing around me
and I thought I had some nerve,
but-pshaws this isn't anything
just so it helps her"
twenty-five pieces of skin about
an inch and a half long were
transferred They We're placed in
islands" about an inch apart.
The operation over, Ice said:
Well. now I hope this helps
her. 1t wasn't as bad as I thought.
''I'l never haul any more whis-
ky. l thought I had nerve.
He watched closely as the phy-
sicians bound up Evelyn's 5 wounds
and smiled as the nurses wheeled
her off to the children S ward.

Hypothetical Question
Prosecutor William H. Renny
asked DR.. Bahr the following hypo-
thetical question in an attempt to
show the mothers suicide was not
caused by insanity:
Doctor, if a woman ran off with
another man, if she were traced by
her husband and confronted by him.
and if she would then commit
suicide, wouldn't that be the motivs
rather than insanity?"
1T might be" answered the In
sanity expert.
well, insane persons have no
motive for suicide, have they?'' in
sisted Remy.
oh, yes! Every insane suicide is
caused by a motive. A voice in
the air may tell the victim to kill
himself -
Remy then propounded another
long question, involving the history
of the murder. showing how Gladys
planned the escape, bobbing her hair,
arranging a dummy IN her own bed,
and lying in wait until the victim
retired to obtain the teachers money
and keys.
Doctor, anyone capable Of such
cunning plans and execution could
not be of unsound mind, could she?''
asked Reny.
Il have seen insane persons con-
fined who possessed extraordinary
cunning at planning more elaborate
escapes than that" was the reply.
