SCHOLL BRANDS
Wife AS KILLER
Condemned Man to Go Back
Into Court and Fight.

BIZ United Press
GARY, Ind, June 7-Walter
Scholl, who pleaded guilty in valpa-
raise Monday to Staying his two
children, today made ready to go
back into court and fight to escape
the death sentence.
The State will ask electrocution.
it was announced today, at the same
time it became known that the con-
fessed slayer will accuse his wife,
Mrs. Margaret Scholl, of completely
in the deaths of Vivian 8, and DON
aid 6, the children, March 10.
The Rev. Charles Scholl of Pitts
burgh, aged father of the slayer,
said Walter was convinced that his
wife was using him as a dupe.
Scholl's new story. according to
his father, will implicate his wife
as an actual participant in the mur-
ders.
He had protected Mrs. Scholl
from any suspicion because of his
love for her, he says, despite his
fathers charges that she was un-
faithful. Her divorce suit in q Chi
cago court, in contradiction to her
religious beliefs, has convinced him,
he says, that she actually sought
his death with that of the children.
Scholl's new defense asserts that
his wife evaded a four person death
pact after the children had been
killed, hoping he would commit sui
eide, leaving her free to marry a
Chicago attorney.
The hearing at Valparaiso Tues
day is to determine what Shcoll's
sentence shall be.
