Says Material For
Hangar Is On Way

A. w. Naylor, airport engineer for
the Mexican Aviation company, is
in Brownsville in connection with
work to be done at the local field.
Naylor states that material for an
other hangar at the airport was
started rolling to Brownsville this
week.
This is MAYORS first visit to the
airport here. 1t is an excellent
field, he says, outside of the fact
that it has a drainage problem. This
he finds, is true of most fields, par

HOLSTERS GET $1,000

Brownstown Woman and Children
Get Damages After Fatal Blast.
BIZ Times Special
BROWNSTOWN, Ind, Feb. g.
A judgment of $11, 900 has been re-
covered by Mrs. Elijah Hawkins and
her three children of this city, as a
result of a damage suit tried in
Oklahoma following an explosion
which caused tie death of her hus-
band and three other children.
The suit was against the Magno-
liza Oil Company, a salesman for
which gave can of gasoline to the
husband when he had asked for
kerosene. The explosion resulted
when he attempted to start fire,
using the cans contents.

And she drew the check from her
handbag and passed it to the detec-
tive, who scanned it briefly and put
it in his pocket.
by the way. Mrs Borden, at ex-
actly what time did you arrive Sat-
urday?" McMann remembered to
ask as he jotted down notes on her
story.
1T was just two or three minutes
after half-past one when I left the
children in the lobby of the Chester
hotel, where the three of us had
lunch.
1T must have been twenty min
utes of two when Mr.. Borden adj
mitted me- I had rather long
wait for the elevator, I remember,
and walking was slow through the
Saturday crowds. Yes. it must have
been as late as twenty minutes to
two"
KT'MANN considered, then: Nov,
Iva Mrs. Borden, was there any
thing at all unusual in Mr.. Bor-
den's manner?"
Again that wave of scarlet. "He
was obviously in a hurry" she
faltered. HE said something about
having to catch a train. He was
much the same as-usual, except
perhaps little more-more exuber-
ant, as if-as if her voice choked
on a Sob 'as if he were delighted
about something. I'm-glad he
was happy. Something terrible must
have happened later to make him
want TOTO commit suicide Did he
learn that he was to be arrested for
for promoting am unsound
company, Mr.. McMann?"
The detective regarded her mar
rowly for long time, as if trying
to make up his mind whether she
was acting or not, before he an
swered:
"Your husband did not commit
suicide, Mrs. Borden He was muir
dered.''
The slight figure which had been
holding itself rigid under McMann's
bonbardment of questions slumped
suddenly, and again Ruth ran to
her side, offering water.
Murdered! My husband muir
dered? Who? Why?"
McMann's tall, big body teetered
slowly back and forth on its heels
as his hard gray eyes met and held
those horror filled brown ones. "I
believe you can answer both those
questions, Mrs. Borden-who-an
why"
The widow thrust out wavering
hand, as if cropping for support.
"I?-I don't know-what you mean,
sir!"
McMann spoke slowly through
hard, straight lips: Let me remind
you of several things, Mrs. Borden.
You were separated from your hus-
band and you still loved him. You
suffered agonieS of humiliation each
month, through having to beg him
for support for yourself and chill
dren.
You came here Saturday to see
him, and found that he was closeted
with a girl he loved, a girl with
whom he meant to spend the week
end at Winter Haven.
"You were crazed with love, jeal-
ouSy and humiliation. You came
back here, demanded that he give
up his trip with this other woman,
quarreled violently with him after
he had given you the check, and,
when he laughed at you for your
interference-you shot him!
Doesn't that answer both your
questions, Mrs. Borden-Who, and
vhy?"

STARVING WIDOW
KILLS SELF, SON
No Food or Money in
Tenement Home

Defeated in losing fight against
hunger, Mrs. Florence Carlson, 44-
year-old widow, turned on the gas
in her top floor tenement home at
POI E. 18th st. Tuesday. Unwilling
to leave her 19-year-old son Harry
to battle with the problems which
she herself could not solve, she wait
ed till after he went to bed before
disconnecting the gas stove tube.
When police forced the door yester-
day they found Harry pitched for
ward before the window.
Desperate from Hunger.
Two months in arrears in rent,
the widow was desperate. Her son,
a chauffeur, nd been unemployed
for months. Neither money nor
food was found in the rooms rented
by the couple. Neighbors explained
yesterday that Mrs. Carlson, wild
cwed eight weeks after the birth of
her son, had worn herself out in
the hard struggle to support them
both till Harry was old enough to
work. Irregular employment did
little to enable them to live even
on the meager standards forced upon
them.
The two had been dead about
forty hours. Weakened by hunger,
the woman had died quickly after
she stuffed windows, doors and key
hols. Police believe that Harry,
tripped by bed clothing, died before
he could reach the window which he
evidently attempted to smash with
the flat-iron found in his hand be-
fore he could reach it.
Pictures of the widows son were
found on the top tray of the trunk
which she is believed to have opened
before disconnecting the gas. Neigh
bors said she had idolized Harry
since birth, and had kept some of
the clothes he had worn as child.
