scene of mob violence was the ar
rest and confession of Hotelling.
Barely had the county prosecutor,
William r. Roberts, obtained de-
tailed statements from him when
Sheriff Frank A. Green and his de-
puties cleared the office OF all per-
sons.
\ few minutes later a limousine
shot from the front entrance of the
Jail. 1t contained Hotelling, Pro-
secutor Roberts, Commissioners
Olander and Police Chief Scavarda.
Doubt still remained today as to
whether Hoteliing had been arrdig1-
ed before his departure.
Ordained Church Elder
His arrest came from information
volunteered by a fellow officer of
the Church of Christ in Owosso. The
latter was Harold Lottridge, a
deacon OF the church who was or
dained Sunday night. The same
night Hotelling was ordained eide
"This morning when | woke up,
Lottridge said, u had Hotelline
on my mind. I don't know why
tut ms image was there in sinister
fashion and | could not get rid of
it. -
Lottridge told his employe on {
school construction job at Flushing
of his psychic reactions. During
the conversation, he said, Deputy
Sheriff Mark Pailthorpe approach
ed and began to ask him the qucs-
tion which led to the murderer 5
arrest.
The deputy made it clear imme-
diately that it would be to Lott
ridge 5 advantage to tell what he
knew. Lottridge then said he knew
- man in Owosso who answered the
description of the Schneider slay-
cr and who drove the same type Of
ear.
Pailthrope, with DEPUTIES Henry
Munger and Thomas Kelly went to
Owosso where they found HotellinS
lounging in morris chair. His
wife, "A demurc little woman, and
two of the younger children-thcre
are five altogether--were talking
with their father.
The deputy asked Hotelling to
explain his movements Thursday,
the day Dorothy Schneider was kid
naped.
Hotelling said he was at home all
that day. His wife said he had
been away looking for work.
The deputies told Mrs. Hotelline
that they had reason to believe that
her husband was the little girl 5 as,
sailant. She laughed.
4" Nonsense. - she said. off :
thought he was I'd turn him in my
self" s.ssi
Car Clinches Case
Little by little the deputies buils
up their case. The deputies asked
to see Hote1ling's automobile and
they were led to a black sedan. The

FRANK DISCUSSION
 PROVES AN ASSET
PaRAmeriCan Conference Work Laudd by Speaker

Rochester, N. Y., Feb. It UP)- Frank and open discussion at the Pan-American conference now meet ing at Havana has become the most important conference of it's kind yet held. It should be matter of con- graduation that the meeting did not adjourn without a full discussion of the questions arising out of our in tervention policy.
 To-day relations between the countries of Latin-America and the United States are on a better foun- dation than they have been in years. There are a number of reasons for this. One of these, and an import ant one. is the rapid extension of mutual understanding that is now becoming particularly effective.
 "The interchange of news between North and South America is greater tolay than it has ever been in the past. Every day the United Press sends to practically all of the im- portant newspapers of South and Central America comprehensive worldwide news service. Every year. we have noted all increasing demand on the part of our Latin American publishers for news about the United States. Today the aver age daily cable news report of the United Press to the great newspa- pers of South America is 1000 words"
