One Told Officer He Was
With Mrs. Dean Early
Friday Morning.

Two men were held today for
questioning and police sought third
said to have been with Mrs. Edith
Irene Dean, 27, Marion Apis. 522
N New Jersey ST., few hours be-
fore she was found on the Nickel
Plate Railroad tracks near Sixty
Second St., Friday morning in a
dying condition.
Mrs. Dean died at a Noblesville
hospital, where she was taken by
the train crew that found her body.
She was identified by means Of a
purse and certificate of title OF her
automobile, which was found by
Sheriff Omer Hawkins near Sixty
Second st.
To Question Three
Detective Inspector Jerry Kinney
who is aiding Sheriff Hawkins In
investigation of the case. ordered
his detectives to bring in three men
for questioning.
The two men under arrest and
held on vagrancy charges with
bond set at $1,000, are said tc have
kept company with Mrs. Dean and
were with her on an alleged beer
drinking party in the vicinity of
Seventy Fifth st. and White River
Thursday night.
The third man is said to have told
Patrolman John Huck he was with
Mrs. Dean early Friday morning.
According to Motorpolicemen De.
Vault and Brennan, man in Ford
coupe came to Sub-station 5 at
Broad Ripple at a. m. Friday and
asked for Huck, a friend. He told
the story of what he said was an
unusual experience he had had.
The officers said the man told
them he had passed a coupe about
1870 a. m. Friday. between Meridian
ST.. and College Ave, on the Canal
Blvd. and saw a woman in 1t. He
said he stopped and she offered him
drink: He started her car for her
and she drove to keystone Ave.
There she stopped and they. talked,
but were interrupted by a shower
Of bricks. He didn't know who
threw the bricks. He said they drove
on then to Allisonville Rd., where
they stopped and took a walk to.
gether. An argument and fight fol
lowed, he said according to the po-
lice, and after she had bitten his
finger he struck her. He said he
then got back in his car and drove
away.
Story Links Up
The story of the man. officers
say, links up with that told by Ralph
Chapman, proprietor of the Rose
Tea Garden. Sixty-Second st. and
Allisonville Rd., who called Sheriff
Hawkins when he heard woman
scream at 2:30 a. m. He said he
heard the woman cry and a Ford
auto drive vest
Two theories are held as result
of the story.
One was that after she was beat
en- she wandered to the railroad
tracks and fell in a dazed condition.
The other is that she was forced
on the tracks. Sheriff Hawkins is
said to have found shoe prints In
dicating the woman was pushed
against her will.
In the last theory, police believe
Mrs. Dean may have been the victim
of revenge or jealousy.
An autopsy at Noblesville Friday
however, showed mo liquor in the
| stomach OF Mrs. Dean. Police believe
she NAV have been drugged-

call in 1917.

forth spontaneously from the crowds
that gathered along the line of

grey-haired veterans Of '61, who re-
fused to ride in automobiles and
strobe along with proud carriage,
reached the reviewing stand, on the
steps of the American Legion ma
tional headquarters building, the
flags were lowered in salute to the
veterans who had renewed the fire
and enthusiasm that ce~ried them
through the dark days of war.
Following the G. A. r. members
was the 11th United States Infantry,
with it's band; then then came oe'
tachments of the Indiana National
Guard with the members Of the or
ganized reserve.
A long line Of naval reserve mem
bers, which followed, added a touch
of variety to the parade.
Legionnaires Follow
Headed by national and State Of
ficers members of the Marion County
division of the American Legion
marched next. Many Of them wore
their uniforms, bearing the insignia
of the various divisions overseas
and in the home cantonments, while
others marched in "civvies.'

Loss of Ford Plant Feared by Archi-

Importance Of Oriental st. as a

fered by a few families affected. if
the street is closed, will be less than
the benefits derived by the city civic
