RecIuse Confided Secret of
Fortune to Close Friends.

The secret of the $4,000 fortune
found in the home of Mrs. Cathe-
rine Kennedy, IT, of 1875 e. South
ST., after her death, was conflded
to a few close friends some time
ago, according to Mrs. Florence
Sharp, 416 E. South st.
What is to be done with the
money will be up to Probate Court.
Mrs. Kennedy used to beg me
to come live with her." said Mrs.
Sharp. "She told me I didn't know
what she would do for me when she
died. She often told me she had
plenty of money but did not feel
like cooking for herself"
Neighbors said that the aged re-
cluse often begged food, and picked
up bits Of wood from streets and
nearby lumber yards for fuel.

SUBWAY TIE-UP
STILL LOOMING
New York Trains Running,
but Row Not Over.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
NEW YORK, July 28.-Although
subway and elevated trains con-
tinued to operate on full schedule,
it became apparent today that the
situation between employees and en-
ployers was more IN the nature OF
an armistice than a settlement.
"The trains are running" is
Mayor Walkers only comment.
But the dispute between leaders
of the Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway En-
ployes and the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company is still being
waged. The Amalgamated claims
it has won the right to enroll sub
way workmen while the I. r. T.
heads take an opposing stand.
However, the I. r. T. paid off the
strikebreakers it had mobilized, and
the possibility of an immediate
strike became dim.
Meanwhile detectives were seeking
the person, believed to be an insane
crank synpathizing with subway
employees, who placed bomb in the
East River tunnel an hour before
the strike was due.
Experts agreed that If the in
fernal machine had exploded the
walls of the unnel might have burst,
causing frightful loss Of life.

TRAIN WRECKS TRUCK
Two Men Escape; Say Sig.

A truck was demolished and two
men narrowly escaped injury or
death today on the Monon trar !,
at Twenty-Fifth ST., when, the men
assert, the signal bell failed to work
until they were in the path of a
northbound freight train.
Roy Cobbs, At, of 2110 Broadway,
driver of the truck for the Indian
apolis Power and Light Co., said he
was half way across the fifteen
tracks before the signal bell sound
ed and the watchman, Jerry
OLeary, 81, of 1864 Mcpherson Ave,
shouted at him.
Cobb said O'Leary's shouts so dis
concerted him that he killed his
motor. He could not start the mo-
tor SO he jumped to safety.

was driving abreast of Cobb sWerved
his machine north, avoiding being
struck by driving on the tracks along

RULES FOR BUS Lines
U. S. Judge Holds Independ-
entS Can't Be Barred.

The Union Traction Company Of
Indiana lost its fight against inde-
pendent bus operators today when
Federal Judge Robert Baltzell re-
fused to issue an injunction which
would have put the independent
lines out of business.
Judge Baltzell ruled that the Inc
dependent bus lines we're entitled to
operate on lines out of Muncie in
competition with the Union Trac-
ton company's trains and busses.
The ruling was another chapter in
the war between the traction COM
pany and the bus lines.
The traction company had sought
to establish that its business was
suffering as a result Of the compe-
tition and that it had lost 5000
over a certain period as result.

Story Of Ambush First Told
After Killing on
Lonely Road.

BU United Press
HAGERSTOWN, Md, July 28.-In
a stuffy little room at police head
quarters here today Reginald E.
Walters, under-cover prohibition Of
flcer, dictated the story of his IA
tai shooting of Hunter r. Stotler, a
Federal dry agent, on a lonely
mountain road near Boonsboro, Md,
Tuesday night.
John D. Pennington, prohibition
administrator for this district, sat
on one side of Walters and States
Attorney Harper Ballentine was on
the other.
They were the only persons who
heard the tale f1rst-hand from be-
ginning to end.
Walters, naturally tall'a gaunt,
appeared even more sallow today
than usual.
Finds Stotler With Wife
Walters told the two men listen
ing to his confession, that he had
first seriously thought Of killing
Stotler about a week ago.
Stotler, who was in charge of en-
forcement work in Washington
County, was spending Sunday at
the Walters home here.
He had awakened Sunday morn
ing, Walter said, to find the house
unusually quiet. He got out of bed
and tiptoed downstairs. He had
suspected, he said, that Stotler had
more than friendship for his wife.
A step creaked, Walter said, as
he reached the foot Of the stair
case. Stotler and his wife started to
talk N the kitchen. He went into
the room, he Said and found evi-
dences which somewhat confirmed
his suspicious.
Fears to Disgrace Family"
When he accused Stotler OF inti-
macy with Mrs. Walters, the under
cover man said, his chief pulled a
letter from his pocket which accused
Walters of being in league with
bootleggers of the community. He
waved it at him, Walters said, and
cried:
well, I've got this on you'll"
At first, Walters confession ran,
he had considered killing Stotler and
then shooting himself.
But that, he decided after think
ing it over, would disgrace his
family" wife, a stout, unattrsc-
tive woman Of middle age, and two
small sons.
Told Story of Ambush
Walters said that the idea came
to him suddenly just as he was
about to climb back into the auto
mobile after readjusting a coil on
the engine. He said he drew his
revolver and said to Stotler, who was
sitting in the front seat:
I'm going to kill you, Stot. You
broke up my home"
The other man reached for. his
own gun, Walters said, but too late.
He went around to the rear of
the machine then, he said, and
fired several more shots into the car
to make it appear that they had
been attacked.
He fired about fifteen more shots
in the air, he said, and then getting
in beside the dead agent, drove to
Funkstown, where he first told the
story of ambush.
