LIFE TERM TO
Wife SLAYER
Jury Out Two Hours in
South Bend Case.

By Times Special
SOUTH BEND, Ind, May 3d.
Roman Luczkowski, 81, is under a
sentence of life Imprisonment today
for the second degree murder of his
middle-aged wife, Marie Luczkowski,
two months after their marriage.
The youth of the husband saved
him from death in the electric
chair. Commenting on the verdict,
one juror said:
1--WE thought that because of the
boys youth, it would be best to
give him second degree murder,
figuring that he will be able to get
out in ten or fifteen years, and by
that time will probably see things
differently and make a good citi-
zen"
The jury was out two hours and
balloted six times.
Mrs. Luczkowski was beaten to
death with a hammer, March %.
Martin Grzezczyk, a friend of the
husband, revealed the crime to po-
lice, after promising him aid in dis
posing of the body.
Luczkowski admitted welding the
hammer, but declared he acted in
defense, saying his wife threat
ened to shoot him.

145 Sent TO State Penal
Institutions in + Months
Criminal Court Docket Is Up
to Date, Says Judge
Collins.

In four and one-half months this
year, 142 persons have been COM
mitted to Indiana penal institutions,
according to a statement today by
Criminal Judge James A. Collins.
The statement set out that the
Indiana Association of Chiefs of
Police might have hesitated about
going on record" for heavier penal
ties had statistics on workings in
Criminal Court of the revised penal
code ben available to merobers of
the organization.
According to the data, thirty-one
persons were committed to the IN
diana State Prison, sixty-eight to
the Reformatory, forty-one to the
State Farm and two to the Wom-
ans Prison. One was q life term
while the others were for five to
twenty-one years, one to ten years,
three to fourteen years, and one to
seven years.
NV Oh0AopOSCu Appeals
In connection with these figures,
wish to state that for the first time
in fourteen years the Criminal
Court docket is practically up to
date" he said. Fewer classes are
undisposed of now than at any
time during the period that I have
been the presiding judge of this
court. With the exception of a
few cases carried over because of
the absences of witnesses there are
practically no undisposed appeals
from the municipal courts.
1.-THE Marion County Jail also re-
fleets conditions in Indianapolis, as
there are fewer persons awaiting
trial than there has been for many
years and the Jail population is
nearer normal now than at any
other time since 1915.
Cooperation Is Essential
"The municipal courts in this city
have functioned splendidly and
such system should be established
in every large city. Cooperation be-
tween the police department and
the courts is essential for the prompt
and orderly dispatch of county GRIM
inal work.
Indianapolis has been exceed
ingly fortunate in that it has at
all times had a police department
and a police chief who worked to
that end"

$175,00O from property owners for
flood prevention projects along

Five additional inspectors will be
named to serve the $4,000 notices
on property owners.
The assessments are to pay the
property owners share on the con-
5truction of Kentucky Ave-, Oliver
Ave. bridges and the flood preven-
ton wall along White River in that
vicinity. About 5000 notices of the
