Wants to Undo 1t

soul to undo it ALL" she said as
tears filled her eyes.
My stepfather said when / get
free, he will take me to live with
him and mother and send me to
business school where l can learn to
become a stenographer"
Rose Mary graduated from Public
School No. s and entered Manual
Training High School, where she
started a commercial course. But
after two semesters she married Leo
Kaiser and forsook school. Her
mother, Mrs. Matilda Huber, 1877 N.
Noble St, had divorced her father,
Willie Russell, S35 Charles St., and
married Charles Huber.
Shortly after Rose Mary married,
her husband deserted her and she
was forced to live in a rooming
house. There was no room for her at
home. Her husband went to Detroit.
Now he has returned to Indianapo-
lis and writes her occasionally, she
said
When she was arraigned April s.,
before Judge James A. Collins and
pleaded not guilty, she blamed her
plight on bad company"
Rather Be Dead
"If I had it to do all over, I'd
rather be dead than go through
what I already have" said Rose
Mary. 81 was just made the goat
by those boys"
May 81 Mrs. Kaiser will be 10
years old. She said when the bank
was held up she was six miles away.
She said she heard Reeves and the
Hostetters plan the robbery three
days before, but thought they were
joking.
After the hold-up, when they were
dividing the money at 621 n Brad
ley St., Rose Mary said she accepted
$500, but later gave it back to Rob-
ert Hostetter. Robert and Howard
Hostetter are fugitives. Reeves and
Dennis Hostetter face trial Tuesday
morning before Judge Collins.
Richard Hostetter, the father, is
at liberty under $4,000 bond on a
charge of receiving stolen goods.
Mrs. Kaiser said the father held
some of the money while his sons
divided it. 1t was reported they es-
capped with nearly $1,700.

One Of the latest developments i'll
the building industry is the practice
vi building the refrigerator INTO the
Kitchen as Il built in - unit. This
practice has been greatly advanced
since electrical refrigeration has
reached its present stage of drvcl-
olmcnt. Most Of the modern apart
h.cnt houses no" being built as
we'll Il majority of modern homes
have accepted this idea as an es-
>cntia feature of up to date CON
>truction
This idea has Il particular appeal
T, to the home builder in Imperial Val
10y where our summer tcmpcrat urc
requires Il greater amount Of rcfrig-
cr;ition than the ordinary home ON
the coast. The prospective home
owner should plan ahead with the
i@ea of arranging his kitchen along
the most modern lines. To assist
in this selection of KITCHEN plans
the prospective builder should study
such plans as are issued by@tht diff
fcrcnt builders Of mechanical re-
frIgcratIon..
The Dclco Light division of
