Youthful Detective Finds
Bandits Abandoned Car
Finger Prints Taken

Pittsburgh. March H.-% An
amateur detective uncovered the first
definite clue in the search for the
bandit gang which blew up an arm
ored car and escaped with Il 100000
payroll Of the Pittsburgh Terminal
Coal company last Friday. This clue
finding Of the bandits abandoned
automobile was the result of AN un-
official investigation started by
Wayne Jones, youthful employe of n
chain store at MOnongahela City,
south of here.
Becoming interested in the ease
when he learned the bandits had been
traced to Ginger Hill, not far from
Monogahela City, Jones took up the
chase. Noticing deep cuts in the
highway at Ginger Hill, he followed
these for some distance off the road
way and came upon the abandoned
car, ditched in the heavy growth of
timber where it could not be seen
from. the main highway. The left
front tire was missing, the bandits
driving the car for about four miles
on the steel rim which lef. the deep
cuts in the roadway that Jones fol-
lowed.
Detectives seeking tho band had
driven past the spot several times
without noticing the ditched ma
chine. Police were notified and ex-
animation of the car disclosed sew
eral empty satchels and five empty
money bags taken from the armorcd
car after it and an cscorting auto
had been dynamitcd. But what au-
thorities hoped would he the most
promising clue yet developed was the
print of a mans hand on the steer
ing wheel. II was photographed and
efforts will be made to identify it
with prison records.

OHIO WOMAN
IS ARRESTED
FOR MURDER
COnfeSSeS She Killed William
Stout, IS, Father of Her
Sweetheart

Macarthur, Ohio, March l4.-(P--
Mrs. Inez Palmer, "a was held here
today awaiting arraignment on q
first degree murder charge follow
ing confession that she killed Will
liam Stout, 65. prosperous farmer
and father of her sweetheart.
Her sweetheart, Arthur Stout, 33
also involved in the hill country
tragedy, is awaiting trial March II
for the death of his stepmother. Mrs.
Palmer told County Prosecutor W. J,
Jones, following her arrest, that she
killed Arthur's father, for whom she
was keeping house, and concealed his
body in well on the Stout farm.
She said that he had made improper
advances to her.
Authorities believe, however. she
committed the deed in an effort to
help her lover. The elder Stout was
to have been the states chief witness
in Arthur Stout's trial.
The double tragedy had its incep-
ton more than year ago when
young. Stout brought Mrs. Palmer
back from Moundsville. w. Va, to
live with him on one of his fathers
farms. Mrs. Stout, Arthur's step
mother, objected to the young people
living together and, after fruitless
objections, caused her step-son's ar
rest. After the young mans release,
Mrs. Stout was found slain in her
home. Arthur was arrested and in
dicted for first degree murder.
He has not yet been told of his
fathers murder and Of his sweet
hearts implication in the crime.

NOTED ARCTIC
EXPLORER TO
APPEAR HERE
RaOld Amundsen. DiscOverer
Of South Pole. Will Speak
Under A. c. Auspices

Captain Rolad Amundsen, famed
arctic explorer and discoverer Of
the south pole, will deliver two lee
lures in Bismarck May IL, according
to announcement made today by the
Association of Commerce.
Amundsen will show motion pic
lures of his adventures in cOnnec-
tion with the two lectures, to be de-
livered i'm the afternoon and even
ing. The afternoon lecture will be
especially for children, with special
prices to be arranged. The proceeds
Of the lecture are to be given to some
education or charitable project.
The south pole was discovered by
Amundsen December IA, 1911, after he
had run Il spectacular race with four
other expeditions representing as
many nations. Amundsen was ut the
pole three days, when he charted the
territory.
Leaving three days later, the party
returned to civilization but was not
given credit for its achievement i'm
mediately. because nothing had been
heard from the party Of Captain r. +.
Scott, representing Great Britain,
which had also started for the pole
Amundsen had, previous to his
dash to the pole, been on several
other polar expeditions and on one
reached the magnetic north pole.
In 1920 he announced his plan to fly
over the north police in an airplane,
if it We're possible, and in 1928, after
several unsuccessful attempts, got
within 1875 miles Of the pole. Ac-
companied by Lincoln Ellsworth,
American adventurcr, he tried again
in 1926, in the dirigible Norge and
travelled over the pole. He had been
preceded, however, by Lieutenant
Col. X. +. Byrd, making the flight
under the flag of the United States.

Accompanying the bid, as guaran-
tee Of good faith, were Liberty
Bonds totaling $l1,5OO.
While the building is easily worth
the price Mr.. Breslow offered, and
more, the officers Of the holding
company consider they have made a
good business deal under the circum-
stances. In figuring the assets of
the closed bank at meeting last
fall. the possible sale value Of the
building wns tentatively placed at
100000, so Mr.. Breslow's bid gives
the directors approximately $4,000
more than had been used as basis
for figuring.
