able to eat a thing. At times my

would not eat a thing I used ten
bottles of one special medicine but
found no relief to speak of. Then

NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-Peter
L y Fitzpatrick, who for the
tfirty-one years of his married
life complained about the noise, is
going back to the quietest place in
the world, but 1t will cost him
$3.50 a week.
Last June Fitzpatrick, who is SO,
felt his nerves giving way under
the clamor that wife and nine
children made in his home. So he
went away and didn't come back,
vowing he would find quiet and
rest.
AT a deaf and dumb infirmary
at Hartford, Conn, he was given
job at $3.50 q week.
1t was quiet there, but not quiet
enough, the mutes made noise
when they walked across the
floor.
Fitzpatrick applied for trans
fer to the. job.of night watchman.
He got it and was happy.
One day not long ago he found
himself charged with abandon
ment. Wednesday, Judge Martin
handed down the following de-
cision on Mrs. Fitzpatrick's suit:
GO back to your watchman's
job; Fitzpatrick. 1 guess many a.
husband envies you the quiet of 1t.
But pay your wife $3.50 a week"

4 IN KILLINGS
NEAR LOGANSPORT
Two Men Are Murdered in
Shack, Known as Boot
leg Joint.
BIZ Lntted Press

By United Press
LOGANSPORT, Ind, Feb. 28.-
Three men and a woman we're held
by authorities here this afternoon
for questioning into the murders of
Earl Armstrong, 36, and Jack Will
liams, %, whose bodies were found
in the formers soft drink parlor
near, here today.
The woman, Jessie Penny, 25,
was said to be a sweetheart of John
j. Crockett, who drove to a local
hospital requesting medical .atten-
ton for a wound he had received.
He refused to say how he received
the hurt but according to reports,
admitted being at the soft drift
parlor early this morning.
The men, Tom Deering, George
Hiles and John Bsgley, were said
to be CLOSE friends; of the two dead
men. Hiles found the bodies when
he visited the place today.
The woman visited Crockett at the
hospital and according to police en-
gagged in lengthy conversation
with him. He was overheard to say,
MY $1,000 insurance policy is made
out to you, but keep your mouth
shut" police said.
Hospital attendants said he had
slight chances of recovery.
A cash register was rifled of $45
and two revolvers, known to have
been in the place, we're missing.
According to police here, the
shack where the men were killed,
was owned by Armstrong and oper-
ated as a liquor place. They ex-
pressed the belief that the men were
slain either by rival bootleggers or
during a robbery.
Armstrong was killed by a bullet
which pierced his heart, it having
been fired from close range. Will
liams was shot through the body
The men, apparently were killed
without warning or being given q
chance to defend themselves as ar
ticleS in the place were in order.
The shack is located six miles
from here on the banks of the Wa
bash river.

CHARGED TO
BANK CASHIER
Richard G. Kirk of Sullivan
Arrested; Goes Free on
$4,000 Bond.
JURY PUSHES INQUIRY
Others May Be Linked in
Financial Crash in
Indiana Town.

BIZ Times Special
SULLIVAN, Ind, Feb. 28.--Sulli-
van countys bank tangle returned
to the limelight today, with tie ar
rest of Richard G. Kirk, cashier of
the defunct State Bank of Sullivan,
and the yelled threat that many
others would be involved in the
grand jury investigation now in
progress. Kirk was released on
$4,000 bond.
The Shelburn bank crashed Jan.
Is, following the suicide Or murder
of Edgar D. Maple, president
Of the Peoples National Bank and
Trust Company of Sullivan, and the
subsequent alleged suicide attempt
of Jessup F. Bolinger, president of
the Sullivan bank, who soon after
was sentenced for two to twenty
one years on a charge of forgery.
Kirk, arrested on order of the
Sullivan county grand jury, is
charged with being Bolinger's right
hand man in the series of forgeries
and embezzlementS that now are ex-
pected to total half million dol
lars.
He officially is charged with bank
embezzlement and receiving depos-
its when ne knew the bank was in
solvent.
Shock to Citizens
The grand jury's action came as
surprise to the citizenry of Sulli-
van and Shelburn, for it had been
believed the investigation had been
dropped when Bolinger made
blanket confession, absolving every
one connected with him.
1t had been assumed the jury was
attempting to solve the much moot
question of whether Maple had
committed suicide or had been mur-
dered.
Naples bank held $115,0O0 in
forged notes, given by Bolinger, and
several other banks in the state are
believed to have held forged paper.
Bolinger said he was unable 70 To-
cate all the forged notes he had dis
counted
Kirk had been regarded as one
of the little towns outstanding
young men. When the bank crash
forced the town to the brink Of
financial ruin and threats against
Bolinger's life were hurled, he was
not suspected.
Leader in Younger Set
He owned two automobiles, his
own home, and he and his wife were
the acknowledged leaders Of the
towns younger set. When the bank
was closed, he aided examiners in
their check of the institutions af-
fairs and the towns citizenry was
convinced that his hands were clean.
It has been revealed, however,
that his social activities were car
ried on, presumably, on a salary OF
less than $12. a, month. His name
appeared on several notes In the
bank, all but one of them, 1t is said,
without collateral.

COUNTY BALKS AT
BUYING PLAZA SITE
Commission Says Burden of
Purchasing Church Land
Is Too Heavy.

Asserting that Marion county tax
payers should not be burdened with
an. additional levy for state
memorial without contributions by
other counties, county commission
ers today fatty refused to purchase
the sites of the First Baptist and
Second Presbyterian churches for
the Indiana war memorial plaza.
Commissioners George Snider
Charles Sutton, and John Shearer
issued a signed statement, following
several hours conference with Clin-
ton H. Givan, county attorney.
They declared that if the church
properties, located on Vermont
street between Pennsylvania and
Meridian streets, were purchased
that it would increase the tax rate
liz cents on each 500. This, in
addition to $1,374,720 already ex-
pended by the county, makes the
cost to Marion county Of the me-
mortal excessive, they declared.
Commission Takes Stand
Inc statement Ioll0WS:
1.-THE question as to whether Mar
ion county should purchase these
properties and donate it to the me-
mortal commission also has been
raised. In 1920 and 1921, the legis-
lature adopted laws authorizing the
state, Marion county and Indianapo-
lis to enter into a, joint enterprise of
obtaining the ground covered by
University park, and the property
which was at that time occupied by
the asylum for the blind and st.
Clair park, together with the two
intervening blocks.
Under the agreement the state
appropriated money to erect the
memorial and also provided in 1921
for turning over the asylum site as
part of the memorial.
THE comfy agreed to purchase
the block in which the churches are
located, with the exception of those
two sites, and the city agreed to
purchase the block north and donate
these sites to the memorial. The
agreement at that time was that the
two churches were to remain and
form a gateway to the northern
part of the plaza.
Large Sum Spent
1.-THE county fulfilled its contract
in every particular and spent ap-
proximately $1,250,000. The commits
sioners' records show the above to
have been the facts in the above
case.
1T may be highly desirable from
an esthetic point of view for the
memorial commission to obtain the
two sites. 1t is, however, our belief
that Marion county taxpayers
should not have this burden placed
upon them, especially as the city
and county together have contrib
uted approximately $3,000,000 to
this project, which is a state project.
Wants State to Pay
I'VE believe that if this property
is to be taken over by the commits
sion and paid for out of public
funds. that it should be paid for by
the state, and the burden thus dis
tributed. rather than the whole of
this added burden to fall upon the
taxpayers of a single county.
TO add this extra burden to the
taxpayers of Marion county means
an increased tax rate each year. for
number>Qf years, of approximately
II. cents on each 500 of taxable
property, in addition to the 3 cent
rate already being paid because OF
the former donations"
