by Chisholm since he was arrested
Saturday, he confessed he bound
wire around the waists of his two
sons. George 9, and Edgar. 6,
weighted each wire with a heavy
steel rail, then pushed the two
youths into ship canal at Indiana
Harbor. a section Of East Chicago.
Chisholm said the murders were
committed shortly after dark on
Feb. 6. The body of George was
found floating in the canal Feb. %.
Edgar's body was recovered eight
days later. The bodies were identi-
fed by 9-year-old Robert Chisholm,
twin brother of George. The father
was arrested few hours later and
readily confessed.
Mrs. Helen Lawrence, 36, divorced
mother of three children, with
whom Chisholm made his home,
was arrested and held on $4,000
bond as a material witness. She
was not implicated in either of
Chisholm'S confessions.
Proceedings today we're expected
to be very brief and authorities ex-
pected before night to transfer
Chisholm to the Lake County Jail
at Crown Point, less than twenty
miles distant.
In his first confession Chisholm
aid he had persuaded the two boys
to jump into the water. Continued
questioning, however, brought the
admission that he pushed them in.
The father explained the younger
youth, apparently become aware
that his father intended to throw
him into the water after his brother
tried to escape, but was held by the
weight of the rail.
Edgar screamed as I threw him
in," Chisholm said. HE fell back
ward and the rail weight seemed to
follow him down and hit him on the
head before he struck the water"
This fact, police said, probably ex-
planned the deep wound on Edgar's
head which might have been the di-
rect cause of death.

WINKLER MAY
LOSE POSITION;
FLUNKS EXAM.
Indiana Deputy Prohibition
Chief Fails to Pass Dry
Agent Quiz.
LEAGUE SENDS PROTEST
ti-SaIOOn Organization,
ChurChmen Ask for
Reconsideration.

George l.. Winkler deputy prohi4
bition administrator for Indiana,
"hunked" the recent civil service
examination given all dry agents
and faces retirement, according to
dispatches from The Times WASH
ington Bureau today.
Winkler said that he was notified
Of his failure last Friday and has
asked reconsideration. This move
is backed strongly by the Indiana
Arti-Saloon League, with whom
Winkler has recently found great
favor.
Learning of the danger Of Wink
Ter losing his position, Secretary
f. S. Shumaker of the league i'm
mediately sent a letter of protest
to the civil service division of the
enforcement bureau.
Many Indorse Winkler
In the letter he pointed out that
on Jan. II. forty trustees of the
Indiana Anti-Saloon League, repre-
senting 100000 of the church peo-
Pile adopted a resolution approv-
ing Winkler and the work he has
done in prohibition enforcement. He
also called attention to similar
resolution adopted at the Indiana
dry conference here Jan. 1921,
where 1900 delegates we're regis
tered.
Shumaker expressed surprise and
sstonishment and urgently urged
reconsideration.
Others who got busy in favor Of
Winkler were the Rev. Peter Kill
liam, pastor of Holy Name Catholic
Church, and Secretary Ernest N.
Evans Of the Indianapolis Church
Federation. They wrote letters Of
Endorsement similar in vein to that
of Shumaker.
In the notice of failure, sent to
Winkler. it was pointed out that
sixty days were allowed to file for
reconsideration, but that such ac-
ton probably would not change the
result.
Officer for Is Years
Federal District Attorney Albert
Ward also sent a letter indorsing
Winkler's work.
When United States Prohibition
Commissioner j. M. Doran attended
the dry conference here he indicated
that Winkler had passed the tests
and would remain on the Job here,
or get better one. This was taken
to mean that Indiana might become
a separate enforcement district and
Winkler be in charge.
Winkler has been a law enforce
ment officer for eighteen years. He
is on leave as captain Of the Indi-
annapolis police department He has
served four years as group chief OF
the Federal prohibition forces here
and has been deputy administrator
since Jan. 18. 1927.

AIR OF BRAVAD0 GONE
Defendant Nervous and
Wan as She Meets Gaze
of Curious Throng.
BY CHARLES E. AHRENS
United Press STAFF Corr.snondent

GAINESVILLE, Ohio, March S.
Possibility that the trial of Velma
West for the murder of her husband
would end abruptly through plea.
of guilty or abatement of grand
jury action on the grounds Of a
technicality loomed today as State
and defense attorneys went into
conference.
Defense attorneys were expected
to enter a motion to abate the
grand jury action. on the strength
of reports that only twelve of the
fifteen members had been present to
vote the indictment.
The possible plea of guilty, al
though rumored, was denied by the
defense.
Courtroom Crowded
Shortly before the time the trial
was scheduled to open, every seat
in the courtroom had been taken
and doors had been locked against
overcrowding.
Judge j. D. Barnes of Sidney,
Ohio, was sitting by assignment to
hear the trial. the most sensational
in the history of the county.
Mrs. West. clad entirely in black.
was led to a chair behind those of
her three attorneys by Sheriff Ed
ward T. Rasmussen. She appeared
wan and nervous in contrast to the
gay young life the village of Perry
had known before the murder of
her husband.
Her face was chalky white and
she had used little lipstick. AS she
entered the courtroom she nodded
10 her parents. Mr.. and Mrs. L. B.
Van Woert Of East Cleveland.
May Start on Jury
Excepting unlocked for develop
ments, selection of jury to try the
blonde HOUSEWIFE was scheduled to
begin early this afternoon with a
panel of fifty ordered to appear for
examination.
The defense was expected to file a
motion to enjoin the court from in
terfering with inspection of the
bungalow on the outskirts of the
village of Perry, in which Edward
West was slain. Saturday Judge j.
D. Barnes had refused defense at
torneys the privilege of inspecting
the death bungalow.
Trial Delay Possible
Should the motion in abatement
be granted, the trial will be delayed
indefinitely.
A new grand jury would have
to be called and a new indictment
voted. Should it fail the defense
will wait for the State to lay all
its cards on the table before it has
any statement to make.
When first arrested Mrs. West de-
MED knowledge Of the murder, but
later she confessed, authorities said.
The full confession never has been
given out.
1t was on Dec. that the body
OF Edward West was found at his
small and picturesque home in
Perry, a small town some fifty
miles out Of Cleveland His hands
were bound and his head had been
cut by hammer blows.
His young wife, who had been a
Cleveland debutante. was not at
home. Later it was learned she was
at bridge party in Cleveland with
friends. where she had gone after
the killing, police say.

If, after seeing Pola Negri in "The Crown of Lies," you don't feel the surging warmth of real romance, and if you don't walk with regal air, it will be be- cause you are heartless and leg less. This feature is at the Lib erty Sunday.
 In the story, written by Ernest Vajda, notable among playwrights, Miss Negri portrays an immigrant girl. She aspires to become a great actress and play the role of queen. When he is not sell ing flivvers, Robert Ames, Ter steady" puts in his time trying to persuade her to marry him.
 Miss Negri's chance to play the part of queen comes rather abruptly. Noah Beery, suave conspirator from abroad, notes her remarkable resemblance to the missing queen of a Balkan coun- try. Playing on her evident real ism, he arranges to impose her on the people as their ruler. seek ing thereby to reap millions.
