Slain BEAUTY
IS BELIEVED
CITY WOMAN
Body Found in Desert Is
Mrs. Violet Thompson,
Father Thinks.
RADIO YIELDS IDENTITY
Wasteland Murder Victim
Worked in Office Here
Before Going West.

The woman, victim of a desert
murder. whose fashionably-clad body
was found near Eureka, Cal, Tues
day, is believed by her relatives
here to be Mrs. Violet Pullen
Thompson, "a, daughter of Elzie
Pullen, 1419 Oliver avenue, Indian
apolis.
Mrs. Thompson has been missing
since November, 1929, when she last
wrote to her parents, while en-
route to Indianapolis from Califor-
mia presumably with her husband,
F. D. Thompson, 33, automobile sales
man, formerly Of Pittsburgh. She
answers in every detail descriptions
given in radio broadcasts Tuesday
night of the desert murder victim,
her father asserted.
First word of the finding of the
young woman's body came to the
father here Tuesday night when he
received telephone call from his
brother, Harvey Pullen, living near
Brazil, Ind.
The latter said he had been lis
tening to an unidentified station on
his radio when announcement of
the finding was made. Harvey Pull
zen told the girls father that the
announcer named the woman as
Mrs. Violet Pullen.
Letters Are Returned

in November, 1929, and mailed at
Grand Canyon, Ariz.. the parents
have not heard from their daughter,
who previously had written weekly,
they said. Letters sent to former
Los Angeles addresses have been
returned.
The body Of the woman, with red
hair, was found near Eureka, Cal,
Tuesday. A bullet wound in the
right temple testified to the man
ner of her death. She died more
than two months ago, authorities
believe.
Press dispatches from Eureka de-
clared all marks of identification
had been removed from the
wornan's clothing, and that au-
thorities we're mystified The
woman wore expensive clothes and
a fur coat.
A nearby filling station propri-
etor informed California officers
that a man drove into the filling
station several months ago and in
quired if he had seen a beautiful
red-haired woman around here
anywhere"
Drove HurriedIy Away
Getting no trace Of her, he drove
away hurriedly, the attendant re-
lated.
Descriptions of the victim tally IN
every way, the girls father said here
today, with those Of his daughter.
Pullen said he knows little of his
daughters husband, except that he
was an automobile salesman. Mrs
Thompson prior to her marriage
was an efnploye of Bradstreet g.
Dun, financial statistical firm, and
had charge of the office of the firm
at Orlando. Fla. It was there she
met Thompson and the two were
married at Tampa, Fla, three years
ago, the father related.
Coming here in 1928 the couple
remained here short time, after
which Thompson left for California
and his wife was employed as
stenographer and dictaphone opera
tor by firm in the Fletcher Bank
building.
She left here in July, 1928, to join
her. husband in California, her
father said.
In Los Angeles the couple re-
sided at 1861 Sunset boulevard, Pal

Beats Artists Wife to Death
With Hammer as Radio
Provides Music.
GRINS BY YOUNG WOMAN
Model Is UndiSturbed as
Old Indian TestifieS in
Buffalo Trial.
BY HARRY VAN LUNGER
United Press StaG Correspondent

BUFFALO, N. Y, March 26.-The
aged Nancy Bowen told, in her
native Seneca tongue today, how
she beat Mrs. Clothilde Marchand
to death with q hammer while
strange noises came out Of the radio
the white witch's" machine which
the Indian woman never had seen
before.
Her story fell on a startled court
room from the lips of an inter
prefer, who had been sworn In to
help Mrs. Bowen testify in the trial
of Lila Emerson, another Indian, on
a charge of being an accomplice in
the killing
BY her stumbling confession the
aged woman added another strange
phase to this trial that already is
one of the strangest in Buffalo
court history.
She confessed to a crime before
going on trial and chose the wit
ness stand as the place to reveal
the details of her act.
Killing Is Described
Mrs. Bowen Is to be tried on a
charge of murder after Miss Jtmer-
sons case is concluded.
Mrs. Bowen's account of the kill
ing was as follows:
She and Lila went to the Mar
chand home on March s with a
hammer, a bottle of chloroform and
some magic earth"
Lila, who had posed for Henri
Marchand, an artist and husband
of the dead woman, led Mrs. Bowen
TO believe that Mrs Marchand was
a witch who must be killed by
March 9, or the entire Bowen fam
lily would die.
Lila waited outside the home and
Mrs. Bowen entered.
Mrs. Marchand turned on the
radio, and the squaw asked her If
she was witch.
Mrs Marchand laughingly said
she was,
PourS ChlorofOrm m Mouth
brandishing the hammer. She
struck her twice. and Mrs. March
and fell toward the stairway,
knocking over the radio.
The white woman screamed and
tried to grab the hammer, and then
sank back unconscious,
Mrs. Bowen took out the chloro-
form bottle, doused some of the con-
tents on a wad of paper and thrust
the paper down Mrs. Marchand's
throat.
Still fearful lest the witch
would live, Mrs. Bowen poured some
chloroform out OF the bottle into
Mrs. Marchanw's mouth.
Then she washed the blood from
her hands and met Lila outside the
house. The started for the Seneca
reservation, thirty-hve miles from
Buffalo.
Grins at Death Story
Miss Emerson grinned as the old
Indian woman slowly brought the
tale up to the actual killing. She
scribbled idly on scraps of paper in
front of her. lifting her face occa-
Sionally to glance at the witness.
While the Squaw was stumbling
through her story. Marchand sat in
jail pinching clay to make a statue
of the sheriff'S hunting dog so that
he might forget the Staying of his
wife.
The prosecution will seek to show
that Miss Emerson was in love
with Marchand and persuaded
Mrs. Bowen to commit the murder
so that the artist might be free to
marry.

ALABAMA PRIMARY
Anti-Smith Leaders Test in
County Falls Down in
Court.
BY the Associated Press.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, February 49,
Judge r. v. Evans Of Jefferson County
Circuit Court today denied q petition
OF Horace Wilkinson, anti-Smith leader
in 1928, seeking an injunction to re-
strain the county from proceeding with
the Democratic primary August H.
Champion Harris, attorney for Will
kinson, announced that the case will be
carried to the State Supreme Court
Judge Evans in handing down the de-
ciSion said he questioned whether his
court had the right to declare capri
cious and unwarranted" a decision
reached by majority of the State
Democratic executive committee.
The remarks referred to charges made
by Wilkinson in attacking the right OF
the State committee to prescribe polis-
zeal qualifications of candidates for
county offlceS different from Qualifica-
tons Of candidates for State, district
Federal and circuit offices, which he
said had been done.
The State committee welcomed Hoo
yer Democrats as voters in this years
primary, but held them ineligible to
run for State, district and Federal
ofnces on the Democratic ticket. II
left to county committees decision on
the qualification of candidates for
county ONCE. 1t was on that point
that Wilkinson brought his suit.
The litigation was construed in polit-
ical circles as the first test of the val
tdity Of the State committees ruling
the status Of Democrats who did not
support the party's presidential ticket
in 1928.
