dog in a recent talking picture was called
upon to snap at its own reflection in a mirror.
In reheaTsing the scene the animal was shown
q mirror on which a sheet Of paper had been
pasted. The trainer ordered it to snap at the
paper before he went further. Then the paper
was cut down, but each time the dog was or
dered to snap at it. When it was no larger
than q pinhead, action was begun. The dog
was turned loose, wandered about the set,

obtaining grasshoppers for use in this same

THE hardest problem confronting me at the

'There are very few camels In this country
and still fewer dromedaries. Right now what

NCOR q new De Mile picture we needed
buzzards to hover over . carTiOn In the
desert. For the first time I discovered that
balzzards and migratory birds and all Cali
fOFnia's supply had gone down to Mexico for
the season. We advertised, sent out scouts
and at last managed to corral two buzzards
that had been in a zoo. We bought them, and
after the scene was finished one Of the things
got away. Night after night I was wakened
by the telephone bell. I've got your buzzard
In my back yard! some one would say. I'd
rush over, only to find that the buzzard was
no longer in the back yard Finally woman
caught the thing and put it in her chicken
coop. You see, it was tame bird and didn't
know how 70 ny high, so 1t couldn't take care

"Armadillos are difficult to round up out Of

Wanted in Indiana

Murder and two bank robberieS
are the charges Indiana has put
into the common pot Of crime
against Fred (Killer) Burke, ma
tional bad man, captured at st. Jo-
Seph, Mo-, Thursday.
According to E. L. Osborne, CHIEF
of the Indiana crime bureau, Burke
was the leader of a bandit quar-
tet which held up and robbed the
Columbia City State bank of 81, O0C
on April 18, 1929.
Shooting occurred and a stray
bullet killed Mrs. Fred Binder, 40,
who lived in an apartment next
door to the bank. Sheriff j. M.
Haynes of Whitley county and an
aid were wounded in the gun battle.
On Oct. 10, 1929, Burke is said
to have led six bandits in holding
up the First National bank at Peru
and taking $4,000. Thomas De-
whey, Peru policeman, and H.
L. Howenstein, a pedestrian, were
wounded as the bandits began
shooting while making escape.
During the Peru robbery an en-
ploye of the bank turned in an
alarm. One of the bandits then
forced the telephone operator to
answer a police query by saying

saker continued. There was a
story about the st. Valentines day
massacre, and a lot of pictures.
Suddenly I recognized one of
the pictures. The man who was
named Fred Burke was the one I
had known as Richard White.
Il was so surprised I didn't
know what to do. Then I decided
not to tell any one about it. Ait y
a while I took Allen Morrison Ga

dence and we made plans for the
capture.
I'VE wrote the department of
justice at Washington. They re-
ferred us to st. Joseph police.
Some detectives came over and
details were worked out.
II got a job in a restaurant
where I could watch the streets
and know when Burke appeared
in town. Then, when I saw him,
Morrison and I called st. Joseph
police and they got him"

GROCER SHOT
DOWN after
Staying WIFE
LOsantViIIe Man Expected
to Die; StepSon Is
Wounded in Leg.
By Times Special


MUNCIE, Ind, March 27.-Mrs.
Mamie K. Engle, so, was slain here
early today by her fourth husband,
Curge E. Engle, SIS, Losantville gro
Ger, and he is believed dying from
a bullet wound in the left temple,
inflicted by his wife's cousin, Har-
lad w. Cough, So, at whose home
the tragedy was enacted.
During a struggle following the
shooting of Mrs. Engle, her stepson,
Cough Kelsey, was shot in the left
leg.
The dead woman took up her
residence in the Cough home after
filing a suit for divorce in which
she alleged that her husband often
had threatened to kill her.
Engle leaped from an automobile
near the Cough home without stop
ping the engine, and the car was
wrecked when it crashed into a tree.
On the front porch of the home
Engle placed hi shoes side by side,
so that his path to bedroom where
his wife was sleeping could be
traverSed ia silence.
Slips Past Cousins Room
Engle slipped past a room in which
Cough slept. Mrs. Engle awoke as
her husband entered her room, in
which Kelsey also was sleeping. She
screamed, awakening the son.
With q curse, Engle pressed the
muzzle of a revolver against her
breast and fired. With blood stream
ing from the wound and her night
gown af1re, ignition due to the close
range at which the shot wac fired,
the dying woman staggered into
Coughs room, where she collapsed.
Death came within a few minutes.
In the meantime, Engle and KEEL
sey were engaged in a terrific strug-
gle. Cough entered the room, and
as he did so the SLAYER fred a bullet
striking Kelsey in the leg.
Shoots From Three Feet
Cough said Engle then turned on
him as if to strike him with the re-
volver, and from a distance of only
three feet, Cough fired a weapon he
had brought from his room. Engle
dropped to the floor. He has not
regained consciousness and no hope
is held for his recovery.
Cough told police that because of
Engle's threats tn l-i11 - wife if she
did not return to him, the door of
the house had been kept locked, but
apparently was left '''11ocked Thurs
day night.
Engle is widely known in LoSant-
vile and vicinity, having operated a
grocery in the town for several
years.

FIND BODY IN CREEK
Fred Lahrman, So, Loses
Life in Water Hole.

Body of Fred Lahrman, SO, of r.
R. 4, Box 1923, was found early to-
day in six feet of water in a hole
near Lick creek and the Illinois Cen
trail railroad, south of the city.
Although Mrs. Carrie Lahrman,
the widow, told deputy sheriffs and
Coroner Fred w. Vehling her hus-
band had ben respondent over bust
ness, authorities did not commit
themselves on the suicide theory. It
was believed likely that Lahrman
may have fallen into the hole.
Vehling ordered further inveStiga-
ton.
Lahrman, according to his wife,
left their house shortly before mid
night to fire boilers in hot houses
near their home. When he failed
to return to the house at 8 a. m.
she called neighbors and deputies
who found the body after a three
hour hunt.
Vehling ordered the body sent to
his own undertaking establishment.

From Chicago.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo, March q. -
Illinois, where he is alleged to have
slain seven men with a single sweep
Of his machine gun, was first to
claim Fred Burke today.
Sullenly and dehantly, the no.
torious gunman greeted officers
from Chicago in the cell where he
was kept over night after his cap
ture Thursday in a northern Mis-
souri, farmhouse.
Five Chicago detectives arrived
by automobile before dawn and
two assistant states attorneys came
in later by train. Four warrants
brought here by the Chicago Of
f1cers charged participation in the
1929 st. Valentines day massacre,
when seven Moran gangsters were
slain.
Others Seek Burke
Other states, however, made
strenuous claims on the captured
fugitive. Michigan, where justice
notably is swept, but which does moi
inflict capital punishment, was rep
resented by officers from Berrier
county. In that county Burke il
alleged to have slain traffic po-
liceman.
A short time after arrival of the
Chicago officers, Sheriff Claude
Hensel of Lancaster county, Ne
braska, reached st. Joseph with
witnesses in the 100000 Lincoln
National bank robbery of last Sep

Rewards aggregating $tO1 900
