MERCY DEATH
OF SUBNORMAL
BOY DEFENDED
Dentist Found With Body
of Son in GaS-FiIIed
Room in Chicago.
By United Press


CHICAGO, Dec. 29-Dr. John K
Jameson went before a coroner
jury today prepared to contend that
if his friend, DR.. Carl A Hinckley
killed his 21-year-old subnormal
son, Merle, it was an act Of mercy
to be commended"
Hinckley, dentist, was found un-
conscious in gas filled room. The
body CT his son was in his arms.
Whether the son, who, Jameson
said, had the body and mind OF a
child of 6, died of heart disease or
gas has not been determined.
DR.. Hinckley at first told authori-
ties his son died Of heart disease
and that he then attempted to kill
himself.
Later he said it was possible that
he may have been mistaken, that
possibly his son was not dead when
he turned on the gas and that he
might have killed him himself.
For twenty-one years, Dr. jamie
son said, DR.. Henckley had taken his
son from one specialist to another in
the hope he might be made normal
Vast sums of money we're spent in
experiments, all hopeless, Jameson
said.
Il often told him." the physician
said, that no greater boon than
death could be provided for Merle. "

to make it so. It is usually the
result of good talent, or of being

Belle Bakers case both these things
are true. Miss Baker has long been
a favorite, and you can not be that

This week at the Indiana she is
singing, telling some jokes and wise
cracking with Charlie Davis. At the

the show, and several encores were

Miss Bakers ability as a Snowman

Concerning a
Young Artist
BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

HAD the surprise Of my life
L / yesterday afternoon when I
heard Samuel Rosenblum, boy still
in his teens of this city, play the
violin as guest artist with the
Kirshbaum Center orchestra.
Understand that this boy is Is or
Is years old and his playing becomes
even more remarkable when that is
considered.
If this boy had been placed be-
hind a screen and not visible to the
audience, I would have believed that
an adult person was playing.
When youngsters tackles
vivalG's Concert A Minor" he
must have adult ability. Rosenblun
had great feeling. especially in the
Largo. Here was a delicacy Of tone
and a spiritual understanding which
will have much to do- in the future
development of this boy.
He handles his violin as one who
has studied and admired its great
secrets. He is just starting to dis
cover and produce those secrets and
his start is mighty close to being
marvellous.
He studied with Hugh McGibney
and is now studying under Paul
Kochanski with the aid of the
Julliard Foundation of New York.
I hope that his parents and rela-
tives and all others interested in
real ability will see to it that this
boy gets the very best instructors
And I am told that at the same
time he is progressing with the vio-
lin. he is keeping up his regular
school education. That is wonder
full also.
After an encore, Mrs. J. A. Good
man in behalf of the center pre-
sented the boy with music port
folio and a cover for his violin.
The Kirshbaum Center orchestra
appeared for the first time this sea-
son. Samuel Kaplan directed. Ferd-
inand Schaefer; now conductor OF
the Indianapolis Symphony, has
been director of this center orchestra
for several seasons.
Schaefer kept his promise and
said he would play with the or
chestra anytime he could. He was
present yesterday and was surprised
when he was presented by the Cen
ter with IAN every day baton" and
more elaborate one.
He then directed the orchestra
through an extra number. The or
chestra is composed chiefly of young
people and they are to be congrat-
ulated on giving their time and
study to have a concert orchestra
Of their own.
Kirshbaum Center has every right
to be proud of its musical talent.
o. Jack Kammins is manager Of the
orchestra and he certainly has kept
on the job keeping us informed of
the orchestra. And I am glad that
he has because I probably would
have missed hearing young Rosen-
hlI1r11
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-12-29

will be as welcomed by us old birds
as by the youngsters. It's a mighty
difficult Job, nearly impossible, to
reflect honestly boy life on the
screen. The director generally
misses that spiritual quality which
only real boy and girl can reflect.
In this day when 50 many boys in
the big cities never have a chance
to explore the mysteries Of the
small town cemetery at night, nor to
go fishing barefooted or to play pi-
rate on raft in lazy creek, the
youth in Twain's "Tom Sawyer" may
seem awfully old fashioned. Maybe
that is one reason that Tom and
Huckleberry Finn will appeal to the
imagination of the grown ups. But
never forget this fact, Mark Twain
caught the haunting beauty Of bare
footed and romantic American
youth And whether or not all
modern youngsters can have the
pleasure of white washing their
Aunt Polly's fence, youth today will
respond to the youth in this pic
ture.
Tom Sawyer boasts of a real cast
of youngsters. Jackie Coogan, a
much bigger boy than he was, cap
lures the true spirit of Tom. He
is capable Of tickling your funny
rib and then turn right around and
make your eyes just little wet.
You would never recognize Mitzi
Green as Becky, the first crush that
Tom had. And she does a dainty
job of it. You will love Junior
Durkin as Huck, the pal of Tom
who sometimes hopes that his ia
ther will get sober enough to know
what 1t is all about.
The director has done wonders in
showing the trials of Tom with
Aunt Polly the school teacher, In
jun Joe and the minister.
Here is real human comedy done
as only real youngsters can act it,
Or rather play it. Here is one pic
ture that should be revived every
year.
Every child from 10 to 70 should
see Tom Sawyer"
Now at the Circle.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-12-29

told you how many time that I just
can't stand the comedy efforts OF
this man. In his last picture I TOLD
you that he did good work. This
time he is a tiresome handicap ia
the picture. When I think seriously
about this picture, 1880, except for
his aerial traffic, will not be SC
vastly different from 1880. The
director and the author seem to
have struck brick wall, which pre-
vented them from turning Their
imagination loose.
And the comedy efforts OF
Marjorie White is just one terrible
pain to me. If Brendel and Miss
White are funny this trip, then !
am all wrong.
The only saving grace to this
mess of impossibilities is Maureen
O'Sullivan. This girl will have q
chance if they don't saddle another

that she is the only natural joy in
this movie.
AS usual be your own judge. II

is your business. You know how ]
feel about it and that's my business

FOR CITY
RAIL OWNERSHIP
TO Be OUTLINED
White to Present Civic
Clubs Proposal at Pub
lie Hearing.

Formal presentation of the Indi-
annapolis federation of Community
Civic Clubs plan for municipal
ownership of the defunct Indian
apolis Street Railway Company will
be made tonight at the public hear
ing Of the city hall street car COM
mittee.
John F. White, legislative repre-
sentative and former city council
man, will present the proposal in
behalf of the organization. The
meeting will be attended by mem
bers of several local civic leagues.
Heretofore, meetings Of the COM
mittee have centered around discus
sion OF the insult proposal to take
over the transportation utility I'M
der an indeterminte franchise.
Seeks District Revision
White will outline the plan which
he already has stated will enable
the city to purchase the car lines
and liquidate the debt within thirty
years without added burden to tax
payers.
Contention of the civic association
is that the city should operate street
cars under the same heading as
schools and streets, diYorcing them
entirely from private ownership.
White will propose revision of the
present utility district enacted for
the purpose of municipal acquisi-
ton Of the Citizens Gas Company
to include the street car company.
Outlines Fund Program
The municipal ownership plan
also will outline, in detail, a pro-
gram for raising funds with which
to purchase the utility.
Henry H. Hornbrook, attorney
representing security holders who
favor insult interests taking over
the utility, will speak on the pro-
posed street car franchise Tuesday
at meeting of the Rotary Club at
the Claypool.
Charles w. Chase, insult expert,
today addressed the Service Club On
the insult proposition.
