BURIAL HELD WITHOUT

HARTFORD. Conn, April 6.-The
consecrated ground of Mt. Saint
BeneIict's cemetery today received
the body of Gerald Chapman.
The man who came from whers
no one knows to flaunt society and
defy the law was buried without re-
ligious service before noon,
At the very grave of Chapman
there was a new element of that
mystery which had surrounded him
TO the end.
A heavily yelled woman. who
turned away from all gaze and
whose name was not revealed,
stood beside the grave as the plain
black casIxet containing Chap"
mans body was lowered into the
grave.
She rode to the cemetery with
Judge Frederick j, Groehl Ray NJ
Wiley and Joseph M, Freedman
Chapman's lawyers, who carried the
fight to save him from the moose to
the President of the United States
and the Supreme Court.
His Sister?
Word went out that this was
Chaprnan's sister-a survivor of the
kpaysterious family from which he
Bsprang.
Another rumor was that the
woman was the mysterious Betty
Bates, or "Betty Beeswax," for
merly of Lafayette, Ind, Chap
mans sweetheart, who associated
with him in his prosperous days.
The burial was without religious
service of any kind. No priest was
there to offer final prayer. The
little group stood, the three men
with heads barred, while the under
takers lowered the casl1et. 1t was
but the work of minute to pour
fresh earth and thus write fms
for the career Of the strange Ger
aid Chapman.
He went to his death un1inchingly
behind the grim walls Of Wethers
field Prison.
At 1904 a. m. today the law over.
took him finally in the long race he
had run with 1t. A prison warden
shuffied his foot, a great weight
dropped, a priest implored the mercy
of Heaven, and nine minutes later
khe prison doctor said:
II pronounce this man dead" ;"
Chapman went to hear the final
Judgment still an enigma, un-
known and with none to weep for
him.
He spoke his last word before the
board Of pardons Monday afternoon,
where in vain he calmly asked for
dust1ce,

It's Hidden Behind a Barn
Mo Pavement and No
Sidewalks.
BY Allen A. White

You can live on Easy st. in In
dianapolts.
1t is a little west Of Kessler Blvd.
and a block north of Speedway Rd.
Board w. Tenth trolley, ride TO the
end of the line and walk six blocks
north on Tibbs Ave. Not 50 easy
to reach.
When you come to the fifth block
you will have 10 ask some one where
Easy st. is. because you won't sec
it. If you should accidentally query
stranger he will smile, thinking
you are joking. But a resident IA
miliar with that vicinity will point
across a large cornfield and say, "See
that old barn over there? Well, it's
behind that barn"
Down the Alley
Thus Easy st. is reached by walk
ing down one side Of the cornfield
to an alley and down the alley past
the old Darn.
There are seven wooden frame
houses on Easy st.
One happy couple is starting mar
ried life on Easy St. They are Mr..
and Mrs. Roscoe Swails, 1904 Easy
St. The wedding ceremony was per-
formed Saturday night at the home
OF the brides parents on N. Tibbs
Ave. Mrs. Swails, who was Miss
Ida Linson, said she remembered
when Easy St. was nothing but a
COW path.
The COW path is lost in automo-
bile tracks ploughed in the unpaved
street. There are no sidewalks
save the wooden walks laid from
each house to where the sidewalk
might be.
Formerly MeadOwviIle
Mrs. Swails said Easy st. used
to be called Meadowville.
Mrs. Charles Hittle, 1902 Easy
ST., said living on Easy ST. doesn't
make her domestic duties any
easier.
"The person who named this
street must have had a strong sense
Of humor," laughed Mrs. William p
Parks, 1706 Easy st. Members of
the Parks family are among the
"old residents" on the street, the
family having lived there eight
years. Kent Parks, TO- their son, is
a Times carrier.
You know when my husband
first came home and told me he had
bought a home on Easy St..
thought he was joking" said Mrs.
Parks. "I told him that was where
I always had wanted to live, but I
found out later it wasn't the kind
of street l had in mind"
Folks on Easy st. have to work
just like the rest of US.
other families on the street are
those of w. H. Howard, 1710; Joseph
Beckert, 1872; John Schnure, 1714,
and Carl Carlson, .1715. Children
must go one mile and a quarter to
school at Flackville. The nearest
bus line is on the Speedway Rd.
