SULLIVAN, Ind, Feb. 6.-With
the arrest near here today of a
farmer who offered to name the
man who killed EdgarsD. Maple for
s2,500," in a letter to the Peoples
National Bank and Trust Company,
of which Maple was vice-president,
state and county authorities believe
they are near a solution of the
mystery that shroudS Sullivan
county'S bank tragedy.
The farmer, arrested by Lieut..
Charles Bridges of the state police
department, is Will Hodges, 35. He
Is being grilled by authorities, while
the town, convinced the mystery veil
on the dual tragedy that robbed
two communities of trusted citizens
and plunged the little town of Shell
burn into veritable bankruptcy is to
be lifted, expect an important ar
rest momentarily.
Found Dead in Bank
Maple, victim of suicide or muir
der, was found dead on the floor
of his bank Jan. Is. A short while
later Jessup F. Bollinger, president
of the Shelburn state bank and
close friend of Maple, was rescued
from an alleged suicide attempt. He
later confessed forgeries totaling
nearly $250.000 which plunged his
bank into the hands of receivers and
resulted in his sentence a week
later to two to fourteen years in
state prison.
Investigators have worked since
the tragedy in vain effort TO pierce
the mystery. A link, between
Naples death and Bolinger's sub
sequent suicide attempt was estab-
lished when authorities learned
that Naples bank held $155,000 OF
Bolinger's forged notes.
Admits Writing Letter
Hodges arrest today came two
days after he had written ]. T. Akin,
chairman of TIE board of the Peo-
pies bank, which has offered a

in mail box near Hibban, Ind,
and the information would be
turned over to q representative of

Under quizzing he admitted he
wrote the letter and declared he had
information that would lead to the
arrest of Naples slayer. He was
reluctant, however, to outline his
information.

him in the Bremen on a fight to
the United States which he fl

During the long hours over the
Atlantic he wrote poetry which he
