WRIGHT CASE
IS DISMISSED
Refuse to Admit Gun as
Evidence; Arrested on
New Charge.

Homer Wright, 27, won dismissal
of charge of being a felon in pos
session of flrearm in criminal
court today because detectives had
no search warrant when they found
a revolver in his apartment at 1929
North Alabama street when they ar
rested him there Aug. 81.
Wright was Immediately arrested.
however, on a charge Of conspiracy
to commit felony on a grand jury
indictment returned several weeks
ago. The indictment charged he
conspired with Edward Traugott,
Donald Underwood, professional
bondsman; Fred pickles. O'Roark,
former policeman, and Paul Scharf-
fin, attorney, to violate the prohi-
bition laws.
Bond was set at $4,000 by Judge
James A. Collins and he was taken
back to jail.
Charge Is Dismissed
Traugott. West Washington street
merchant, who is on his way to fed
eral prison to serve a sentence for
alleged completely in the interstate
automobile theft ring. was in
WrightS apartment at the time of
his arrest.
The firearm possession charge
against Wright was dismissed when
the jury in the case returned a YER
dict of not guilty directed by Spe-
cial Judge Harry E. Yockey on a
motion of Ira M Holmes, Wright's
attorney.
Remy previously had been unable
to get into evidence testimony of
Detective Edward Tut that he had
found a gun in Wright's apartment,
Yockey each time sustaining Holmes
motions to bar the testimony, be-
cause Tut had had no search war
rant.
Served Earlier Sentence
Prosecutor Remy, however, sue
ceeded in getting into the record
evidence that Wright had served a
sentence in Missouri in 1924 for rob
berry and in New Jersey in 1919 for
assault and battery. AS the Indiana
law provides a life prison term for
habitual criminals who have three
times been convicted of felonieS,
Remy planned to ask a life term
for Wight if he was found guilty
of the firearm possession.
He will combine a habitual GRIM
inal charge with the conspiracy to
commit felony charge and ask the
life sentence if Wright is convicted
on the new charge, Remy said.
Wright has been questioned, with
out result, by detectives about rum
running activities between here and
st. Louis, the Broadmoor Country
Club holdup, the machine gun muir
der of Ewald Eckerle of st. Louis,
at Clinton, Ind, in August, and
the explosion at the Traugott Cloth
ing Store, Aug. 26.
Police have obtained no evidence
with which to base charge against
Wright in any of these affairs.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 28.-Po-
lice today advanced the theory that
Mrs. Ella Rogers, 29-year-old widow
who disappeared the night of Oct. 8,
was cremated in the furnace of her
fashionable apartment.
Mrs. Rogers, the widow of Louis
vile newspaper man dropped from
sight after returning from an out
of-town trip. She was last seen en-
tering her suite.
Neighbors brought about a quiet
investigation after it was discovered
her bags had been unpacked and
that Mrs. Rogers could not be found.
The investigation took policemen
to the basement, where ashes of the
furnace were examined. A peculiar
gray substance which chemists be-
lieve might be from human bones
was found.
The Negro janitor of the apart
ment was taken to the police sta
ton for questioning and his house
was searched. officers said they
found a bloody monkey-wrench

Then the city dump yielded clews
which lead the police to believe
Mrs. Rogers was cremated. Burned
out CRATES from the furnace were
found. Then ashes clinging to the
CRATES yielded the peculiar gray resi-
due.
The janitor, thus far, is the only
suspect in the mystery and police
admit they have nothing to link him
with Mrs. Rogers disappearance,
except the wrench. He has denied
any connection with the case.

While the kings physician was
Issuing a formal description of his
majeStys ailment, the Prince of
Wales, heir to the throne, was
speeding across Africa on the start
Of a race to his fatht RS bedside.
Lord DawSon's statement was
contained in letter to Sir William
Joynson- Hicks, the home secretary,
and apparently was issued in re-
Sponse to a request from the cabi-
net that it be informed in detail of
the kings exact condition.
Read Letter to Cabinet
The letter, as read at a meeting
of the cabinet, follows in full:
my dear home secretary:
II gather from you that the cab
met wish more detailed opinion
of his majesty'S illness than is con-
tanned in the daily bulletins. Will
you, therefore, inform them as fol-
lows:
"The king is suffering from an in
flammation (congeStion) of the
right lung with extensive plastic
pleurisy of the right side which is
a painful condition. Such infection
must from its nature be serious
I'm all illnesses of this character
there must be anxiety which will
continue for the present, but I ar1
happy to say that the king passed
a quieter night. The condition Of
his hung shows some improvement.
His strength is maintained.
$50 far, then, the illness = being
controlled, its force lessened, and its
symptoms alleviated and hope itS
duration will be curtailed."
Volunteers to Return
Lord Dawson's statement revealed
for the first time what had been
generally suspected, that the king is
suffering from plastic pleurisy,
which frequently accompanies
pneumonia.
A touching and dramatic incident
was related by the Evening News
today. The News said it under
stood the king, learning Of the de-
cision of the Prince of Wales to re-
turn, said to those at his bedside:
"I did not want him to return.
but I knew he would come back if
necessary"
1t is estimated it will take seven
teen days for the prince to make the
return journey.
The news said the voluntary de-
cision of the Prince of Wales to re-
turn home greatly cheered the king.
The News understands that the king
notified the prince he did not want
him to worry.
A dramatic story OF how the
Prince of Wales suddenly cancelled
plans for continuing his African
hunting trip and started for home
with all the resources of the British
empire ready to speed his progress
