STATE CHIEFS
ORDER NATIONAL.
ROAD CLEARED
80-Foot Right-of- Way to
Be Enforced Across
Indiana.

National Road (U. S. 400 is to
have an eighty-foot right-of way
all the way across the state, John D.
Williams, director of the state
highway department announced to-
day.
1t will mean widening the road
bed In numerous places and fore
ing off trespasSers who remain
within the eighty-foot territory be-
tween property fence lines, he de-
clared.
This procedure is necessary to
increase the safety of motor traffic
on this heavily travelled transcon-
tinental route" Williams explained.
This route has been rightfully re-
ferred to as Main Street of the
U. S. a.
Some years ago private in
dividuals and a few commercial
operators erected eating stands, oil
stations and repair garages on this
highway so close to the traffic that
they did constitute a genuine
hazard.
Gradually many stands were
moved. But of late a few owners
have persisted in remaining close
to the pavement. So the commits
sion has issued an order requiring
that an 80-foot right-of-way be en-
forced"

BABE'S FUTURE
HINCINC UPON
MOTHERS FATE
Life of 2-Year-0Id to Be
Based on Sanity of
Accused Mother.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-The fate of
baby Betty Ann zalis rested today
on the result of a sanity examina
ton of her 21-year-old mother, Mrs.
Catherine zalis, who is on trial for
the murder of her second child.
Betty Ann, months old, is the
center of interest at her mother
trial, because court must be re-
ceSsed every time she wants to eat.
Judge Thomas Lynch, before
whom the case is being heard, needs
the instructions of a nurse every
two hours and permits Mrs. ZaliS
to retire to nurse the child.
DR.. Francis j. Gerry, alienist, has
testified that Mrs. ZaliS was insane
at the time she smothered and
burned the body of her second baby.
Prosecution and defense have
agreed to sanity hearing, sched-
uled for today.
If Mrs. zalis is found to have
been insane at the time of the muir
Ger and to be sane now, it is prob
able the jury will heed the results
of the examination and free the
mother. If, however, she is found
to be insane now, and indefinite
term in an asylum seems probable.
In event of the first verdict Betty
Ann will go to the squalor of the
zalis home, something she hasn't
known for she was born in the jail
hospital after the mother was ar
rested.
Should Mrs. zalis be sent to an
asylum, chances appear bright for
Betty Ann to be adopted by the
fashionable Chicago junior League
with comfortable home until she
grows up and can make her own
way.
Besides an incoherent confess
sion and a fragment of pedvic bone,
the state has little evidence that
Mr.. zalis actually killed the second
child of her three.
STOPPED by drudgery and worn
from bearing three children in an
many years, Mrs. Zalis testified that
her husband had not worked much
and failed to provide even necessi-
ties for the family.
Several witnesses said the hus-
bond, Adam. spent much of his
+ 'rootioing hypnotism he had
learned from a correspondence
school.

PIT his name at the trial.

LONG ISLAND CITY, N. Y, Dec.
IA jury today started deliberat-
ing whether Mrs. Frances Kirkwood
should be punished for the death
of her husband, DR.. Glenn Kirk
wood, who was stabbed to death
Aug. Z.
The state contends Mrs. Kirk
wood, a comely 9S-year-old woman,
killed her husband with liquor on
her breath and in a moment of
passion" after an argument when
she found the doctor had been en-
tertaining women guests at their
home while she was in Florida.
The case was given to the jury
at 1880 p. m. today. Presentation
of evidence had lasted only one day.
Mrs. Kirkwood was the chief witt
ness in her own defense.
On the stand she told how her
husband had admitted inhdelity and
how she seized a bread knife TO
commit suicide. Her husband strug-
gled with her and during the strug-
gle he was stabbed fatally, she said.
Her attorney, Dana Wallace, in
summation, however, brought up the
question of whether Kirkwood had
died of the stabbing or Of an oper-
alton performed after the stabbing.
Mrs. Kirkwood is charged with
manslaughter.
