dition from policeman'S bullets

The kiss of death" is wistful
Margaret Mary Collins, now a
platinum blond of %.
She was 10 and brunei when
her first sweetheart met sudden
death and started off the legend.
There have been six since then
who have wooed the fatal Mar

fear may become the eighth vic
tim in the strange history.
Back in 1922, Margaret Mary
watched an officer kill Jack
Shelby with a bullet through the
heart after Sheehy had shot two
cafe employees because they we're
slow in serving the girls order.
He was No. l.
Next came Dion O'Banion, slain
in one of Chicago'S most famous
early gang wars.
Then there was Irving Sonny

And Johnny Phillips was
killed in circumstances almost the

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Repre-
sentative Louis Ludlow of Indian
apolis today still was astraddle the
prohibition question.
He was not prepared to say how
he would vote. on the repeal reso-
luton scheduled to come before the

The resolution now contemplated
is a naked repeal resolution, which
Ludlow does not like, despite the
fact that it is in accord with plat
forms adopted by both the national
and Indiana state Democratic con-
ventionS.
Ludlow wants the resolution
amended to provide federal prohi-
billions against return of the saloon.

The boy, who had been considered
a normal American youngster until
he killed his grandmother in a sud-
den moment of frenzy, already has
entered plea of guilty to an indict-
ment containing both murder and
manslaughter counts.
The hearing today is to aid the
50-year-old justice in naming a
sentence. Witnesses called included
the boys father, well-to-do manu-
facturer; his stepmother, his chums
at Riverside high school, and a
number of alienistS.
An Emotional Explosion"
In addition. Judge Prystalski had
a 7,000-word study of the boys ca
reer drawn up by DR.. Henry R.
Hoffman, director of the criminal
court behavior clinic.
Hoffman likened the conduct of
the quiet brown-eyed boy to an
emotional explosion"
Young Arnold killed lbs grand
mother, Mrs. Ellen SAKE, with a
single hammer blow when she re-
fused him permission to use her
automobile. He was arrested two
days later in a restaurant in a small
Illinois town.
The Staying was described by the
court alienists as without premedita-
ton. There was no doubt, said the
report, that the boy actually loved
his grandmother.
He wanted his grandmother
car in order to take his friends to
a dance to impress them" said the
report. His grandmother refused
him permission.
Life Compared to Gun Powder
This refusal may have seemed
to her insignificant, but to the boy
itswas an unexpected Illustration of
important plans and desires. He
flew into uncomfortable rage, and.
with no generalization, struck mis-
grandmother on the head with a
hammer, causing her death.
The previous events in his life,
day dreaming, a continuous desire
Tor popularity, and his unstable
emotional makeup. may be COM
pared to gunpowder.
THE continued refusal of his par
ents, and his grandmother for the
use OF the car could be compared to
a fuse.
And the slap or tap his grand
mother gave him when she refused
him the car, was the match which
caused his emotional explosion which
eliminated in the tragedy"

WEEKS AGO IS

One-Armed ASSailant Is
Said to Have Hurled

INTERFERED IN FIGHT

Peace Meeting Attempt,
Causes Attack.

Almystery hammer Staying
case is faced today by police
as a result Of the death in city
hospital Friday of Charles
Caldwell, 27, son of Mrs. Cor
rine Edwards, 555 Woodrow
avenue.
A blow behind an ear, said to
have been caused by a hammer
which ne-armed man hurled
Nov. 10, caused death.
Caldwell, who served in the
United States navy, appeared at his
home Nov. 10 in company with a
young man, after having been miss
ing tWenty-four hours. following his
return from Cincinnati, where he
went with two men on a truck to
return load of lead to a local
plant.
The. mother sought police aid and
called all hospitals of the city when
the son did not return at the time
she expected, but. found no trace.
Became Involved in Fight
Caldwell was brought to 1903 East
Washington street where Mrs. Bur-
ton Dovey operates rooming
house, and where his mother, and
stepfather, Ed Edwards, then lived.
They had made preparations to
move to the Woodrow avenue adj
dress at the time Caldwell was miss
ing.
According to the mother, Caldwell
stated that on his return from Gin
cinnati, he went to a residence in
the Vicinity Of st. Clair and Da-
wilson streets, in the company of
the two men with whom he had
Travelled and there met a young
man and an older man, his father
in-law, said to be relatives of the
other two.
The young man and father-in-
law, the mother related, became in
volved in fight and Caldwell tried
to separate them.
Struck Behind Ear
The older man, who has but one
arm, had hammer. He became
enraged at Caldwell due to the
peacemaking effort, and started to
attack him. Caldwell sought to run
from the house, but the hammer
was hurled as he. reached the door,
and he was struck behind an ear.
Apparently Caldwell lost con-
seriousness, as he could not recall
any of the next ensuing twenty
four hours.
The man who brought Caldwell
home had suitcase containing his
clothing which had been taken on
the trip to Cincinnati. Some of the
clothing, believed that worn at the
time of the attack, had been laun-
dered for the purpose of removing
blood stains.
Mrs. Edwards took her son to a
doctor who advised hospital treat
ment. An operation was performed
in which some bits of shattered
bone were removed from the skull.
Dlunt Notify Police
Asked by his mother if he did not
wish to notify police, Caldwell is
quoted as saying:
III tell them when I get a little
strength"
The man who brought him home
is said to have given the name Of
Howard Alley. Caldwell insisted
Alley had nothing to do with the
attack.
Caldwell while in the navy, made
nine trips around the world, his
mother said. He spoke seven Ian
guages.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edwards formerly
operated the Hilltop barbecue stand
on the Three Notch road five miles
south of indianapolis.
