KINDNESS OF
LAW FATAL
TO MOTHER
Dies of Shock at Arrest of
Daughter, Detention
Home Fugitive.

Frances Minet, II, is free on her
own recognizance today to go home
to her dead mother.
The law in attempting to aid
Frances unWittingly fastened the
mothers death Thursday.
Mrs. Clara Minet, So, of 1888 Refs
ner street, died at $50 p. m. Thurs
day while telling her husband,
Thomas Minet, that police had
called at their home two hours be-
fore with their daughter, Frances,
II, who had run away from the
detention home two weeks before.
Death was attributed to a heart
attack brought on by the excite
ment.
Starts by Cutting School
The father, an employee of the
Marnon Motor Car Company, to-
day told the daughters story. She
started by cutting classes at Manu-
al high school and later at Wash
ington high school where she was
transferred, A more serious delin-
quency followed and the girl was
taken by juvenile court authorities.
After Frances had been in the
Marion county detention home for
five weeks waiting to be sent to a
correctional institution, she and two
other girls escaped two weeks ago.
Frances and one other girl came to
the Minet home Saturday night and
fed when the father called the de-
tention home.
Is Arrested Here
He later received a letter from
his daughter saying she was in Gin
c1rnatl working. But Thursday
Frances and jeanette Welsh, II, of
Cincinnati, one Of the escaped girls,
was arrested by Lieutenant Fred
Drinkut at Sherman drive and Elm
street.
Funeral services for Mrs. Minet
probably will be held Monday at the
West View Baptist church. Mrs.
Minet was born near Gosport, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Melvin
Moore. She was married to Minet
at Elletsville in 1896, and they came
to indianapolis about eighteen years
ago.
Mrs. Minet was member of the
West View Baptist church, and the
Rebekahs at EIletsvilIe.
Surviving besides the husband
and daughters, are another daugh-
ter, Mrs. Katherine Gibbs of Indi-
annapolis; four sons, Hubert of
Ellisville, Melvin of Bloomington,
Glenn and Thomas Jr., both of In
dianapolis, and brother, David
Moore of GoSport.

of a reconciliation between Walker
P. Inman, New York millionaire,
and his wife, Helen Patton Inman,
now engaged in a divorce suit here,
apparently had vanished today. In
man testified that his wife told
him over the phone that she
wouldn't live with me if 1 we're
the last man on EARTH"
|. Inman, heir to the Duke tobacco
millions, blasted the reconciliation
rumorS as he told of event that led
up to the present divorce action, in
which each is seeking a divorce and
Mrs. Inman $250,0O0 in addition.
Inman was to resume testimony
today and it was expected that he
would elaborate on his Thursdays
remark that he and his wife, daugh-
ter of a Kokomo (Ind) preacher,
in talking over the divorce action
agreed that Inman should take the
jolt"
Feared for Wife in Paris
Inman said he had opposed his
wife'S going to Paris for a divorce
because he feared the "follies and
bright lights would present too great
temptation for a minister's daugh-
ter who seemed to have an Unsuitable
desire for liquor and boy friends.
He told Of apparent friends who
proved later not to be-" efforts for
reconciliation with his wife, her
various degrees of intoxication and
finally arrangements they made to
gain marital freedom.
The wealthy New Yorker testified
on two of the correspondents named
in his complaint.
He was asked to identify Bill
Hardy.
Hardy was sailor on a small
yacht I own. Later he became cap
tain. Helene was i'll on the boat
in Florida. She slept in the fore
castle and asked Hardy to make a
bed on the floor alongside h er
couch, which he did," Inman
answered.
Dictaphone in Wife's Room
He objected, he claimed, to her
aSsociating with John Steele, vau-
deville singer, or with the servants,
and she temporarily obeyed him.
Inman admitted he had at one
time installed a dictaphone in his
wife'S room because she was in and
out so much he wished to find out
whether information about her
given by his acquaintance was true.
The first year they we're married,
he said, Mrs. Inman did not drink,
but after that "she gradually drank
more and more"
