Murder.

BY the Associated Press.
VALPARAISO, Ind, June 5s-Appar-
entlv more concerned over the lmprlS-
onment of her adopted son, EDWARD
than the fact that for the second time
within three years she has been formal
ly charged with murder: Mrs. Catnerlne
Cassler of Chicago today reStessly
waited the outcome of further question
ing of the boy regarding the death OF
Miss Cameola Soutar week ago.
Mrs. CaSsler was charged with shoot
ing Miss Soutar, a 24-year -old Chicago
professional skater, through the heart
and with hiding her body in marsh
near Hebron, Ind. The motive was be-
lieved to have been that Miss Soutar
was too friendly with Truman (CharleS)
Cassler, the 40-yearNd accused wom-
filed the affidavit charging Mrs. Cass-
Ter with the murder late yesterday.
Meanwhile, Edward, the l9-year-old
adopted son. was to be taken today to
the marsh where Miss Soutar's body
was found a week ago. The youth,
along with Truman Cassler and Chester
johnson. fiance of the dead girl, we're
held as material witnesses
"Oh! My God! My poor baby" Mrs;
Cassler exclaimed when the formal
murder charge was read to her: i've
Cassler, why do I have to suffer more?
What have I done? Why do they DO
this to me? I don't care for myself. but
nv baby locked up, why do / have to
suffer SOP" It was one Of the few times
that Mrs Cassler's unusual calmneSS
foresook her.
Mrs. Cassler was released from the
Cook County Jail in Chicago April 80
after having been freed on the charge
of numbering William Lindstorm,
roomer in her home. She was SEN
fenced to the eallows. On the eve of
her execution she was granted new
trial and the State later dropped the
case.
Ind.
Testimony at the coroner's inquest
was that Miss Soutar had sometimes
posed as the housekeeper and again as
the daughter of Truman Cassler during
the 81 months Mrs. CaSsler was IN jail
on the first murder charge.
Mrs. Cassler won the right to confer
with attorneys late yesterday. Her
counsel, A. H. Hutchins and John
Garvey declined to enter plea when
the murder affidavit was filed in a
justice of the peace court and We
granted a continuance until Friday.
Hours of grilling failed to shake Mrs
Cassler's assertions that she was not
guilty of Miss Soutar's death. She ad-
mitted slapping the girl in her Chicago
home a short time ago. but denied that
she had drawn firearm on either Miss
Soutar or CaSsler as asserted by Mrs
Mabel Kleckner, a neighbor.

Plans for oiling Kennewick's

newick avenue between the bridge
and the city limits, and on East
Third from Washington to the S.

rnent can be collected, which will
probably be the middle of next

The cost Of this oiling is esti-
mated at $4,000. Three or four
miles can be completed each day.
Traffic will not be stopped, since
the rig works on one half Of the
road at a time.
Wesley Smith, expert on city
government, who is auditing the
city books, made talk before the
council, complimenting Kennewick
on smallness Of its debt and its
low tax millage. He also discuss
ed the cleaning up Of the local imi-
provement district debts.
After describing the new light
ing system which Pasco has voted
to install, Smith said that Kenne-
wick needed and could easily fi-
nance a similar system, making
our business district far more at
tractive to residents and tourists.
The council received his suggestion
favorably, but no formal action
was taken.
The council voted to accept the
offer Of strip Of land lying be-
tween the northern end Of Wash
ington street and the river, sub
ject to any adverse claims. If the
title is clear, Washington street
will run on through to the river.

v;ct;m of two ungratful thugs,
RAYMOND Mcclure was knocked
out, stripped and robbed of $34
md suitcase and left unconscious
beside the road Sunday afternoon
rear the Fallon bridge above Rich
land.
According to Mcclure, who told
bis story to police officers, he had
mot two men in Ellensburg who
said they wanted to go to Walla
Walla. but did not have enough
money. Mcclure offered to pay
for the gas and oil for the car if
the men would take him with them.
rhey accepted his offer and start
ed out.
At Benton City, one of the men,
whose names Mcclure did not
know, bought three bottles of pop
at a fountain, bringing them out
to the other two with the caps off.
Mine tasted so bitter I threw
half Of it away" Mcclure said,
when telling of the incident. He
vent on to describe the rest of the
Tip.
1After leaving Benton City, we
began to pass other cars. These
two men told me to look back at
every car we passed. I did so, and
the third time they hit me on the
hack Of the head. That's all I re-
member until came to in q clump

down the road and got the attend
ant to call the chief of police"

newick police department, drove
with W. H. Brown and was ex-
pecting to meet the thugs on the
way. When they found Mcclure,
they discovered that he had been
unconscious five and a half hours,
fact which, in Copeland's opin-
ion, points directly to a dose OF
drug in the pop which Mcclure
found so bitter. His companions
had stripped him before leaving
him, and taken all his belongings.
MCGUIRE was brought to Kenne-
Hck Monday, returning Tuesday
70 Benton City where he got a job.
The sheriff, now in charge of the
case, has sent warnings east of
