THE places people pick out in
Il which to get murdered are
sometimes odd. The current crop
of mysteries, for instance, finds
woman getting stabbed in a

mind, much), man getting killed
on a crowded street car and a
woman getting killed on big yacht.

are, apparently, only two people who
could be guilty, and when the crime

killed the stock broker on crowded
street car, who pushed the con-
ductor off a ferry boat and who
shot the brokers' partner in rail-

It's fairly good puzzler, but the
author does play one trick on the
reader which, by all the canons of
the detective story, isn't fair. Drury

A INVOLVEMENT by Attorney
L n General James Matlock Ogden
that he is a candidate for the Re
publican Governor nomination seems
to have caused little excitement and
less comment.
In fact, as one of the deep leather
cushioned chair gentlemen at the
Columbia Club said: "He might as
we'll quit campaigning right now,
because Ogden has got as many
votes today as he can hope to get
with all possible pressure from now
on"
Which is just about the truth, II
all reports are to be believed.
On Sept. IA this column declared
that Ogden would be a candidate
for the Governor nomination.
His three years record in office
was reviewed impartially-and it is
hoped accurately at that time-and
the summation was that if the
sports editor we're checking the list
it would read: mo hits, no runs,
five errors"
In tabulating the score today it
would be necessary to change it to
mo hits, no runs, six errors"
And it is the last evidently willful
babble upon which candidate Ogden

is said to be basing his hope of sup
port from the remnant and former
contributing members of the Ku-
KluX Khan.
His friends declare that the vocal
reformer also will be accorded the
Anti-Saloon league support, because
of his persistent stand in favor of
law enforcement and his pro-
nounced dry attitude.
But it is with the bid for khan
aid that we are concerned primarily.
Records reveal that in 1928,
Arthur L. Gilliom, then attorney
general, began suit to prohibit the
khan or similar incendiary organ
izations from existing in Indiana.
This move was made with the view
of clearing up the states record and
setting precedent.
For months Gilliom collected in
formation and obtained answers to
eighteen interrogatorieS describing
in detail the activities of the secret
organization.
The suit was filed before Judge
Harry o. Chamberlin in circuit
court here. He sustained the state
when the khan sought to have the
action dismissed
Pursuing dilatory tactics, khan
attorneys asked for a special judge
and Frederick E. Van Mugs was
appointed. Van Nuys also ruled
against the khan, which they OBJ
tanned a change of venue to Mobiles
vile.
There the court set the trial for
Feb. II, 1929, which was after Og-
den assumed office.
Upon completion of his term, Gil
liom offered to assist the state,
without fee, in prosecution of the
case. The offer was made in writ
ing and verbally and he twice was
rebuffed by Ogden, who, as the trial
date drew near, asked the court
for continuance, which was
granted.
Since Feb. 81. 1929, Ogden has not
made a move in what is believed to
be a strong case against the hooded
order.
Why the delay?
The answer came last Monday, it
is believed, when the attorney-gen-
eral announced for Governor in a
beautifully indefinite statement and
platform.
The record to date is: mo hits,
no runs, six errors"

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2. - An
inquest into the suicide Of moody
and brilliant young Stanford medi-

her motives.
Evelyn B. Chapman, %, fired a
bullet into her heart as she lay be-
side James A. Cary, 3d. of MaDdan,
N D.. fellow student at medical
school here.
Confronted at first by the obvious
motive of frustrated romance, police
later we're convinced she had taken
her secret TO death.
Her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Evan
o. Chapman of Surf, Cal. flew here
and indicated they may have their
own theory in the suicide.
Must Have Been Mad

no hint of a shattered love affair

INJURED over and over, "she must
have been mad"
Cary, bewildered by his expert
ence, protested he and Miss Chap
man were not in love. She often
came to his apartment to study, he
said. Earlier in the week she tele-
phoned him she wanted to talk
about her future"
when I came home late Thurs
day night she was in bed" he told
police. 1--WE talked over inconse-
quential matters, and then I went
to sleep The next thing I knew, a
terrible roar awakened me, and 1
heard Evelyn gasping my name.
Suicide Note Is Left
Blood was streaming from a
wound over her heart. ran for a
doctor, but it was too late"
On table she left a note to her
mother and her sister Helen. 1--WE
felt this way for a long time" it
read. i know I am so made that I
never will be able to do the things
that will make me happy"
DR.. William E. Ophuls, dean of
Stanford medical school and noted
psychologist, said Miss Chapman
seemed "emotionally unstable" but
that her school work was good. 1t
had been believed possible that she
was respondent because Of difficulty
with her studies.
