GROWN POINT, Ind. Aug. 17.-~
The death by fire of young
woman whose body was found on
a road near here Thursday had
aspects today of the perfect
crime authorities believe it was
intended to be.
The sheriff and coroner of Lake
County are no closer to a solution
of the mystery and struggle under
the handicap of dispute over
identification.
Relatives of Miss Adeline Zaccard
reputed sweetheart of a slain bank
bandit, we're brought here by d
Chicago newspaper Thursday night
to see the body. They said it was
that of Miss Zaccard, but did no.
make that statement to DR.. c. f
Pettibone, coroners physician
Pettibone did not learn of it until
today.
Then announcing the result of a
post-mortem, he said the identifica-
ton was not satisfactory and was
contrary to his conclusions.
Doctor Cites Difference
The poSt-mortem established that
the woman was about % years old.
the doctor said, and never had been
a mother. Miss Zaccard, he pointed
out, was 80 years old and had borne
two children-a boy 10, and a girl Z.
Tom Platt. chief deputy sheriff,
to whom the physicians conclusions
were impaired, announced he was
almost certain the dead woman
was not Miss Zaccard.
The woman met a horrible death.
She evidently had been shot in the
cheek before gasoline was poured
on her clothing and ignited. The
burns, and not the wound, caused
death. according to DR.. Pettibone.
Almost all means of identification
was destroyed by the flames. The
face was charred beyond recogni-
ton. Only remnants Of a red dress
escaped burning.
Before the doubt arose over the
woman's identity, Sheriff Ben
Strong had concluded that she was
taken for a ride" because it was
feared she would say too much
about her sweetheart's gang.
Sweetheart Was Slain
The sweetheart, Angelo Francisco,
Chicago, was shot to death by Wig
ilante after he and four others had
robbed a Morency qll) bank of
$4,000 Tuesday. His body was found
near Mt. Prospect, III.
Miss Zaccard, who disappeared in
Chicago Wednesday night after a
mysterious telephone summons had
informed her that her bandit sweet
heart was not dead, was missing To-
day and her relatives feared the
explanation rested in the discovery
of the charred body.
Frank Zaccard, her brother,
speaking for the family, told the
United Press today that I'VE have
every reason to believe" the body is
that of Miss Zaccard. Miss zac-
card was in the apartment of a
friend at 10 p. m. Wednesday when
she received the telephone message
The friend, Miss Clara Webber, said
Miss zaccard left Immediately for
an appointed place.
Names of those being held we're
not revealed. At Chicago, police
released Mike Caroma, SO, busi-
ness agent of the Street Cleaners
Union and once an associate of the
late big Tim" Murphy, who was
held in connection with the bank
robbery. An official of the bank
could not identify him as one of the
bandits.

Highly Respected Cashier
Chooses Death to
Disgrace.
BB United Press

GOSHEN, Ind, Aug 17-Harry A.
Beck, cashier Of the Millersburg
State Bank, lay in a morgue today.
and police attributed his suicide to
what they believe was the shatter-
ing of his dream of vast and sud-
den waelth, gained by rum running.
Almost simultaneously with an al-
legged rum runners confession that
Beck had conspmed with him to
soar to wealth by violating the pro-
hlbltlon law, Beck ended his life in
the Elkhart River.
Roy Sample, 40, NoblesvilIe, told
the officers that Beck had loaned
him $4,000 and that the bank CASH
Ter knew the money was to be used
in liquor traffic.
The story of how the respected
Beck, who already had anassed
average wealth, was tempted to de-
viate from the law, dates back to
last April.
AT that time, Sample said he went
to Beck with his proposition" Beck
then loaned him the money without
the knowledge Of the bank loan
committee.
Sample furnished security" and
the bank directors said today that
much of the Security" in the form
OF real estate, never had existed,
Hit by Money Reverses
Sample said the plan was to take
up the notes at about this time,
but that reverses had made it i'm
possible. When the alleged rum
runner could not redeem his notes,
Beck was forced to report to his
directors.
1t was then that Beck. who. until
yesterday, was the most respected
man in his community, saw his air.
castles of sudden riches crumbling,
Like many other men, he pre-
ferred death to loss of his position,
and he sought the river.
Sample told the officers he and
Beck had planned to begin liquor
running on large scale. He said
Beck was to be the angel" and
Sample was to direct activities of
the drivers, who would be employed
in a network of routes from the
border into this State.
Beck was to have shared liber-
ally in the profits" Sample said.
At the time Sample made his
confession he did not know that
Beck had chosen suicide.
Highly Respected in Town
Millersburg never had a citizen
more highly respected than Beck.
How highly he was regarded by his
fellow-citizens may be cleaned from
the fact that he was the first Re-
publican since the Civil war to hold
office in his community.
The NIillerburg bank did not open
today and bank officials requested
that a thorough investigation be
made by State authorities.
However, it was not believed there
would be any loss to depositors.
Meanwhile, Sample underwent
further questioning.
Thomas D. Barr, assistant State
banking commissioner, announced
here today that he would leave to-.
night for Goshen to investigate the
affairs of the Millersburg State
Bank.
