Bruce took the sack Of money Cor
dell was carrying. Search disclosed
two other guns, one of which be-
longed to the bank.
Meanwhile, Norris Lingle and
Marvin Springer overlook Palmer.
Florin Huntley, 16. and Ross Apple,
10, had seen him hide a small sack
of money in drain tile. 1t was
recovered, and his gun was found
along interurban tracks where he
threw it as he ran.
Think Third Man Involved
w. E. Fleming, Oaklandon mar
shall, said he thought a third man
was in on the plot, and was to have
picked up Cordell and Palmer, but
was unable to carry out the plan
when Mock stepped on the alarm.
He said that while driving a school
bus west of the town shortly after
the alarm sounded, he saw a
stranger driving a maroon coupe,
looking backward toward the village
several times as he sped away.
Mock and the citizens who cap
tured the pair may share a 500 re-
ward offered by the American
Surety Company of New York,
which carries a policy on the bank.
The insurance company already
has begun arrangements to pay the
reward to the bank, which will dis
tribute it among the members Of the
posse.
Mock was held up June %. 1880
while alone in the bank. The bandit
was Bruce Scott, now wanted here
for murder of city fireman, on
trial in Oklahoma for kidnapping.
The men were returned to the
bank and searched. AS the money
was piled upon table one Of the
bandits protested:
"Hey, listen, S35 of that was
mine, he complained But the
money was not given to him.
Officers Soon on Scene
/ Deputy Sheriffs Thomas Scanlon
Pearl Craig and Pat Kinney, on the
scene in eleven minutes after they
received the alarm, handcuffed the
prisoners and brought them to city
prison.
Police believe the men entered
the bank through side window
during the night, and planned tC
blow the safe, but were surprised
by Mock.
Searching the bandits, deputie,
found two guns on them, one {
blue-steel .45-caliber revolver, anc
the other a pearl-handle As auto,
matte pistol. Cordell was tall
husky man, and Palmer is shor1
and heavy.

DIE AT HUSBANDS FEET
By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, April 30. - Rather
than let his sweetheart leave him
to return to her husband, j. H.
Hartung of Dayton, O., tricked her
into taking zone last drink before
they parted. A moment later both
fell dead at the feet of the nus
band, who just had announced
proudly that he had won back her
love.
The other victim in what police
said was one of the strangest mar
tail tragedies on record here was
Mrs. Kathleen Garrison, 3S, wife of
Ralph Garrison, a magazine circu-
lator of Kalamazoo. Mich.
They died almost instantly of
pruSSic acid, which Hartung,
salesman, had poured into the
liquor before he urged her to have
Just one last drink" before they
parted in the hotel apartment
where they had lived as man AZ
wife.
Planned to Kill Self Only
Letters left by Hartung indicated
he had planned to kill only himself,
but when Garrison and his wife, rec
onciled, called for her clothing, he
decided suddenly, it appeared, to
kill them also. He offered drinks
to both, but only Mrs. Garrison
accepted
The romance which led to the
tragedy began several months ago.
police learned from Garrison and
from Mr.. and Mrs. B. M. Jones.
friends who came with Garrison
from Kalamazoo to help influence
Mrs. Garrison to give up Haxtung,
five years her junior.
Last March Garrison sent his
wife to Miami, Fla, in the hope of
breaking up the romance he knew
was growing between her and Har-
tung.
In April Mrs. Garrison, who for
merly lived in Chicago and Cleve-
land, returned home, but she and
Garrison quarreled again over Har-
tung and she left on April 18.
Friends Sent Word
Garrison believed she would come
to Chicago and asked several friends
here to notify him should they see
her.
Monday Mrs. Charles E. Foley
called Garrison and told him she
had heard from Mrs. Garrison, who
was living with Hartung at the Bis
marck hotel under the names of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. H. Gerhardt.
Garrison hurried to Chicago and
met his wife at the Foley home.
After thirty minutes alone, they
announced happily chat they had
become reconciled.
Mrs. Jones accompanied Garrison
and Mrs. Garrison Wednesday night
to the hotel to get Mrs. Garrison's
clothes.
"One Last Drink"
Hartung extended a pleasant
greeting when the trio entered his
room. He made no comment when
Garrison told proudly that Mrs.
Garrison was going home again. On
a table were three pints of gin and
whisky bottle, which contained
the poison. Hartung had packed
Mrs. Garrisor's three suitcases,
which we're on a bed.
Let us have one last drink" he
| pleaded of Mrs. Garrison. She was
willing, but Garrison disapproved
and refused to accept the drink
which Hartung mixed.
Hartung raised his glass, waited
a moment until Mrs. Carrison's
touched her lips, then drank. A
moment later he fell, crying I'm
dying; it was poison" Mrs. Gar
rison fell at his side, both at the
feet of her husband.

TOURNEY QUIZ
0gden'S Ruling That Board
Is Without Power Will
Not Halt Probe.
IMMORTALITY CHARGED
Witness Will Tell Where
StryChnine Was Sold
to Athletes.

Investigation Of alleged immoral
ity and bad effects of the state high
school basketball tournament will be
continued by the state board Of
education probe committee, despite
a ruling of the encouragement
holding the board powerless to act
in the matter.
Superintendent w. A. Writ of the
Gary schools, chairman of the in
vestigation committee, told The
Times today by telephone that he
still is of the opinion that the mat
ter should [ investigated.
Plans of procedure will be dis
cussed when the board meets at the
Statehouse Friday.
Writ requested Attorney-G General
James M. Ogden for an opinion re-
garding powers of the committee
and board.
Committee Has No Power
The opinion, written by Joseph
W. Hutchinson, deputy attorney
general, has been delivered to
George G. Cole, superintendent of
public instruction.
1t sets out that the committee
has no power to summon witnesses,
nor the board power to abolish the
state tournament if it sees fit.
Power to forbid any high school
from participating in the tourna-
ment lies with the local board of
education, the opinion holds.
1T is possible that many wit
nesses would be willing to appear
and volunteer testimony" Writ
pointed out.
Hines Agrees With View
This view also was held by Presi-
dent L. N. Hines of Indiana Teach
ers college, Terre Haute, a member
of the probe committee.
Il have the letter of the man who
states that he is willing to appear
and give the name of an Indian
apolis druggist who sold Strychnine
to some of the athletes to stimulate
them for the final games" Hines
declared today.
Surely such charges should be
investigated and I feel that such
investigation will be backed heart
lily by all friends Of the tournament.
1.-TWO points are involved in this
matter--the physical effect on the
players and the moral effect on the
students attending the games. Both
should be gone into. If anything
wrong is found, it should be cor
rected."
Superintendent Cole pointed out
that state board does have power
to lay Town rules for a commits
stoned high school and these
could be invoked to make any
changes in the basketball situation
which the board might desire.
Frank Reynolds, Cambridge City,
is the third member of the Investi-
eating committee.
