That same night. Sunday, July IT, the tho arrived in the Packard as the Trout river immigration post on the Vermont border. Palmer posed as MrA McDonald's husband. while Mcdonald posed as Bouchard. But Palmer and Mrs. Mcdonald named different towns whom asked where they were married. Mcdonald sign- ed the name Bouchard as 'Bour- gert." Mrs. Mcdonald was dressed in . chemise with rug for a skirt. They were refused admission to tho states and returned to Montreal, where they abandoned the car.
 The next day Bouchard's lifeless body was found near the Huntington highway three miles from Trout river. He had been shot twice. and thrown face downward in a watery ditch to die. His money. $c00, was stolen. Nearby was found wo- mans slip. skirt, hat, shoes and stockings. some of them spattered with blood. They later were ident,- fled as Doris McDonald'a.
 For six weeks the McDonalds dropped completely out of sight. Then they were arrested in Butte, Montana, under the name of Carter, for passing false checks. A revolver they had was of the same calibre as the bullets found in Bouchard's body. They were extradited to Canada and trial commenced De- cember . in the little country town valleyfieid. Palmer. their compan- ion. never was found.
 Offered No Defense.
 The evidence against them was so convincing that they did not even of- fer q defense. save for a mercy plea by tho lawyer. R. l.. Calder. K. C., Canada's most famous criminal counsel. Now. in the little jail be- hind the courthouse where they were tried. preparations are being made to erect the sallows from which they will drop to their deaths.
 While Canada is manifesting deep interest in the prospect Of a young and attractive looking woman hav- ing to march to the gibbet, there is but little public expression of sym pathy for her.
 A committee of New York citzens. principally residents of Mount Ver- non. is preparing to intercede with tho Canadian government in the girls behalf, however.
 The last woman to die on the gall lows in the Dominion was Mrs. Cordella Viau. of St. Canute, Que bee. who was executed in 1899 with her lover, Sam Parslow. for the mur- der sf her husband.

ary rating. He or she might get as low
as SO a month compensation aside from
medical care.
The beneficiaries of any bishop, min
ister, priest. rabbi or other religious
leader who might be killed In the per-
formance Of duty would be entitled to
$500 at the maximum whether paid in
regular installments or in lump sum,
the commission passing upon each case
and fi,ang the compensation according
to all the circumstances. This Is true
of other church employees as well as OF
lodge and all other employees.
Since churches do not pay taxes there
was some surprise In religious circles
when notices came from the commits
sion that they must insure their en-
ployes and inquiries were received as to
whether churches would not be exempt
from the law. but the commission con-
strued the language of the law as mean
ing that all employers Of whatsoever ma
ture must insure their employees. and
thereupon the churches met the new
demands with the promptness that has
characterized the mass of employers In
the District.
The commission has not found any
inclination deliberately to dodge the OBJ
legations of the law There have been
some honest misunderstanding, which
have been Strengthened out. Due atten-
tion is being given to the possibility that
fake claims may be filed under the law
or that the provisions for medical care
and compensation may be contested In
the courts and the whole working out
OF the plan Is. therefore, in the prelimi-
nary stages.
1t already is apparent that the law
Evening star., 1928-08-02

will cost employers In the District many
thousands of dollars each year more
than they were accustomed to pay out
under the former system, whereby In
jured employees sued for damages under
the common law or accepted voluntary
settlements for injuries Just how
much the insurance will cost employers
Is not definitely ascertained but 1t Will
run well into six figures.
Formerly il an employe were injured
he might bring suit, but in most In
stances the lawyers employed by insur-
ance companies, or by employers who
did not have private policies covering
accidents, were much abler than the
average lawyer hired by an employe,
with the result that damages would be
held down and the lawyer would get
part. which further reduced compenSa-
rion to an employe.
Now and then the public reads in the
press of an award for damages to an
injured employe by jury OF sum
which seems large, but these are eX-
ceptional cases. And the public which
reads that so-and-so has brought suit
for SIS 900 or $4,000 for injuries may
not follow the suit through to see how
much or how little of that sum eventu-
ally Is obtained.
Reference here, of course, is to dam
age suits by employees. Persons injured
in ways other than In their capacities
as employees still have right to sue at
law for assumed damages.
Some time must elapse before the full
effect of the new compensation law can
be observed, and then whatever revisions
seem reasonable may be proposed and
an effort made to have the law amended

medical expenses and remuneration
while incapacitated.
T. soloist in the choir or the organ
list also could claim compensation. pro-
yided they were injured in the perform
ance of duty and are paid salaries for
singing and playing.
If the church treasurer is given a
merely nominal salary of, say, $40 a
month to handle the collections and de-
poSit them he. too. is entitled to COM
penSation If injured in the line of duty.
The ianitor comes more normally INTO
the class of workers who are subject TO
mishaps. and, of course, he would be
cared for under the compensation law.
In fact. every person who is paid to
do anything in or about or in connec-
ton with a church must be insured
under the compensation law. and all the
churches in the District have had TO
take out policies for all such persons.
New Expense for Churches.
This is brand-new expense for
churches. Quite small congregations, or
at least congregations with small salary
lists. have had to pay 500 or more for
insurance. The more persons given re-
muneration by church, the more there
are to be insured and the larger the
premiums.
Lodges have had to meet the same
exaction of the law. It is stated that
any one who employs others, or any or
ganization or firm. etc, must take out
compensation insurance. and the COM
mission has construed this to mean that
churches, lodges. benevolent institutions
and all other associations must comply
with the law.
Thousands Of dollars are required to
insure all church and lodge employees in
the District. Hitherto there has been
little hazard connected with working for
these organizations, so that the expense
comes as a new burden.

, trict a different arrangement was made

the way Catholic Church property and

other churches each congregation owns

sonnel.
Are Subject to Law.
The Catholic Churches in the District
are insured under the law. but the in
surance is provided for by the arch
bishop of the diocese under what is
known by the commission as the self
insured plan. This plan Is not limited
to Catholic churches, however. About
40 large concerns have adopted the self
insured plan. They had to satisfy the
commission of their financial ability to
pay compensation out Of their own
funds without resorting to insurance
companies.
The amount of church. hospital,
school and other property In the Dis
trict owned by the Catholic diocese Is
considered by the commission ample to
guarantee payment by the diocese OF the
compensation provided under the law
for any priest. nun or other person
given salaries or other remuneration by
Catholic Churches. Claims must be sub
mitted to the commission in the regular
way and passed upon as with other
churches.
AS stated, the self-insured plan is In
effect with 40 or more large concerns.

procedure would be the same as with

McCARL is REVERSED
BY JUSTICE GORDON
$4,000 Still Due on Veterans In
surance Turned Over to Estate
Administrator.

Justice Peyton Gordon has rendered
an opinion reversing the action of Con-
troller General McCarl and releasing a
fund of SIS 900 held in the United States
Treasury since December. 1921. Peter
Inch, a WorlC War veteran. having
a $4,000 war risk policy, died and
shortly afterward his mother. the sole
beneficiary, also died, leaving six per-
sons entitled TO share in the benefits of
the policy. Three of these beneficiaries
were known and the other three had
been lost sight of and had not been
heard from for some years.
The Veterans Bureau distributed one
half the fund to the known beneflci-
aries and by McCarl's ruling held the
remaining $1,000 under the claim that
the act Of March 4. 1925. amending the
veterans act cid not apply. Under the
amendment the bureau was author
lied 70 pay over 10 the administrator
of the dead soldier lump sum to be
distributed by him under the provisions
of the laws of the State In which he
was appointed.
Justice Gordon holds that even
though a portion of the fund was being
distributed among certain benefciaries
the aInerded act does apply and
the bureau is directed to pay over the
remaining fund TO Ogden Stevens, ao-
ministrator of the dead soldier.
