JUST HOW OLD
is PEGGY? 43!
Much Married Miss Joyce
Is Peeved at ProberS.

BIZ LHfcd Press
NEW YORK, May PEGGY Hop
kins Joyce is pretty piqued at IN
Gle Sans prosecutors, because they
have revealed, of all things, a lady'S
deepest, darkest secret-her age.
A federal man, curious about
Peggy's fortune, and doubling that
she filed a complete income tax re-
turn, got to prying among some
yellowed papers IN the little Virginia
town where the much-married Miss
Joyce was born and found her
birth certificate.
And that, he said, revealed her
as being 43 years old
This revelation will not prevent
Peggy, however, from going to the
customs house on Tuesday and try
ing to explain away a $4,000 duty
and fine the government has as
sessed ON her, charging she brought
some undeclared jewelry into this
country in 1922.
And when she leaves the customs
house. the United States attorney
says he may take the actress into
conference on another matter, this
time about her income tax. He
estimates she is worth some ST.
100000.

Hopeless, Owing to Wide
Publicity on Case.

VALPARAISO, Ind, May 1.-Two
women. one a grandmother and the
other the mother of grown, I'M
married daughter, were added to
the seven jurors tentatively &C
cepted today to hear the second

ing his high school sweetheart,
Arlene braves.
With not a single juror definitely
accented, and third panel OF

when the trial reopens, both de
tense and prosecution faced what
appeared a hopeless task Of select
ing twelve jurors who would ADMIT
they we're "open minded" in the
matter of determining Kirkland S
guilt or innocence.
The majority of the eighty One
men and three women who passed
through the jury box this week adj
nitted definite opinions derived
from the first trial, in which the
2o-year-old defendant was SEN
fenced to life imprisonment on con-
viction of murder as the result OF a
blow.
MANY of them, farmers, said they
could not spare any time from their
farm labors.
The two women accepted Friday
bv the state and awaiting question
ing by the defense said they were
open minded" on the case.
Mrs. Matte Conover, SIS, Of Val
paraiso, a grandmother, told de-
tense attorneys that, while pro-
hibitionist, she did not condemn
modern youth "for violation Of the
Volstead act"
She also indicated she was not
disturbed by the liberal moral at
titude Of the young people OF to-
day.
The other woman accepted by the
defense was Mrs. Martha Cowdrey,
mother of a 23-year-old daughter.
She said she did not condemn
drinking and that she would base
her verdict in the trial solely on
the evidence presented"
Before adjourning court until
Monday, Judge Grant Crumpacker
said he would take under advise
ment a defense motion to suppress
a book entitled, 1.-THE Inside Story
of the Kirkland Case"
A copy presented at the opening
of the session was said to contain
portions of the evidence in the
first trial not printed in newspa-
pers.

Burned Body May Be That
of Notorious Chicago
Thug Leader.
By JnifcdP

By United PFees
CHICAGO, May 2.-The mystery
of whether Mike De Pike Heitler
is dead or alive became more puz-
gzling hoursly today, as scientists
sought to identify a charred body
found in the smoldering ruins of
an abandoned lcehouse near Bar
rington, Ill.
Mike De Pike-christened Michael
was considered the dean of
Chicago's vice lords" He was a
"f1abby" sort of man, 5 feet, 8
inches tall and weighing 200
pounds, and had ambitions to be a
big shot" among the gangs ruled
by Scarface Al Capone.
Heitler was to the south ana west
sides what Jack Zuta was to the
north side, except, police say, he
was not nearly so smart and a
little less ambitious. Zuta was shot
down by gangsters in a Wisconsin
hotel resort last fall.
Brother Not Certain
Mike De Pixies brother, Coleman,
Friday tentatively identified the
charred body as that of the gang
ster. After it was buried in a SIS
coffin, without ceremony, Coleman
ordered it exhumed and said if it
could be proved to be that of Mike
De Pike it would be reburied "as it
should be-"
Even Coleman, however, was not
convinced that Mike De Pike was
dead, although he admitted he
thought he was.
Mike De Pixies two wives, one of
whom has a l7-year-o old daughter,
were not so sure. One of them, the
one with the daughter, said she saw
Mike De Pike in person hours after
the body was thought to be his was
found in the ashes Of the icehouse.
The other, Emily Mulcher Heit-
Ter, who said she wasn't married to
Heitler, but had lived with him for
twenty-three years, indicated she
thought maybe Mike De Pike had
Just disappeared"
Fails to Face Court
Heitler was booked to appear this
week in different courts on charges
of perjury and vagrancy. He did
not appear.
Police were even more convinced
than Coleman Heitler that the
body was that of Mike, and as a
result they raided early today the
hotel where Capone was reported
to be in hiding.
Acting under orders of the states
attorneys office to bring in Capone
himself" squads of police crashed
doors and created havoc generally
IN the hotel and other places said
to be inhabited by gangsters.
The theory was that if Capone
himself had not ordered Heitler
taken for a ride" he at least knew
who did. Numerous gangsters we're
arrested in the raids, but Capone
was not among them.
Destroyed His Records
Emil Heitler told police that like
Jack zuta, Mike De Pike kept rec
ords" so in case he was killed, Of
hcers could know who he had trans
acted business with and guess who
his enemies were. Last Sunday,
she said, Heitler destroyed these
records because, she said, nobody
was after him any more"
1t was impossible to identify the
body found near harrington, ex-
cept by the teeth. Scientists at
Northwestern university studied the
teeth today, while police hunted
Heitler'S dentist, if he had one.

Thrill for SChooImateS

~ DNittU lltNN
HOLLY, Clio, May bryan I'm
tiedt and his historic visit to Wash
ington were the only subject receiv-
ing any attention today from pupils
of Pleasant Hill school. the place of
learning which Bryan attends
when he isn't saving lives of
schoolmates or calling on President
Hoover.
1t. was this school which several
weeks ago was stricken by tragedy
in the form Of a blizzard which
trapped the Towner school bus and
froze five of Bryan's schoolmates to
death.
Mrs. Maude Mosier and Franz
Frieday, teachers at the little
school, Friday gave up trying to
teach the children anything but
history so long as Bryan is away.
History is Bryan's favorite study,
so the rest will pay a little atten-
ton TO that, even with Bryan in
Washington.
Eat Up" Newspapers
AS for all other classes, Mrs Mo
sier and Freiday declared that 1T
just isn't any use
The pupils simply "devour" every
newspaper which contains stories OF
Bryans adventure. They look long
at his picture-particularly one
which was taken with the boy
standing beside President Hoover.
Mostly they await his return, to
learn first hand of the wonders he
has seen-to hear what he said to
the President and what the Presi-
dent said to him, and to tease him
a little, perhaps, about his friend
ship with Peggy Ann Hoover, the
Presidents grandchild.
That friendship, however. is no
surprise to Bryan'S mother-who
lost one son in the tragedy which
elevated another son to the role OF
a hero.
Fond of Children
Il am not surprised" she said
Bryan always has been fond of lit
tie children. He is the favorite of
his baby sister Ruth, and has had
many small friends"
Bryan'S younger brother, Virgil.
IL, verified this by saying he wished
Bryan would hurry home from
Washington to take care of Ruth.
Il don't mind taking care of her
if she doesn't cry. but I'll be glad
when Brysns back She likes him
best"
