MAKE it smart to be legal, -
N1L. E. York, superintendent of
the Indiana Saloon League,
declared this afternoon.
Il am much interested in your
editorial, Make 1t Smart to Be
Legal" Mr.. York said. mo one
who has at heart the best inter-
estS of his state and country, can
object to such an editorial. On
the contrary, he should give the
whole-hearted support to see that
it is smart to be legal when ap-
piled to all laws.
During the past years, if such
a slogan had been sounded forth
by the metropolitan press and by
the liquor forces instead of ridi-
cule and caricaturing in hideous
cartoons those who stood for the
enforcement of not only the liquor
laws, but all laws, our country
would not be in the condition in
which we find it today.
n
NOTWITHSTANDING tn e
IN fact that Indiana has the
most liberal liquor laws of any
state, these laws are violated
openly and viciousIy almost any
hour Of the day and night.
Governor McNutt, in addition
to his executive duties. has
uSurped both the judicial and
legislative functions of govern
ment and has led the way in null
lifying certain provisions of the
state liquor laws.
Mr.. Editor, you need not be
surprised to see crime at a zenith,
drunkenness increase at an alarm
ing degree, and the violation of
laws generally, under such con-
ditions as now obtain in our state.
I'VE stand for the slogan it's
smart to be legal but we stand
against liquor whether sold legally
or illegally.
obedience to and respect for
the law can not be realized with
our state and nation in partner
ship with liquor traffic which is
the arch enemy of all laws"

TO break the hold which rum run

Members of the family,
many of them physicians to
whom death comes without
emotion in the daily routine
of their duties, awaited with
suspense the arrival of Earle.
This suspense was heightened by
mounting evidence that conflicted
with the story of the perfect" mar
riage of Rheta and Earle which they
had told.
Stanley Young, companion of
Earle on his projected Photographic
tour of the west, revealed the hus-
band spent the night before the
murder in the company of another
woman, who, like his wife, was
authenticated.
This revelation came after a let
ter from one of the young mans
friends previously had indicated the
husbands interest was not confined
to his pretty wife.
Statements Are Conflicting
1t was in contrast also to the
statements of the young mans
mother, steeI-nerved DR.. Alice
Lindsay Wynekoop, who had de-
scribed the marriage as "idyllic"
and said the coming of her daugh-
ter-in-law into the grim brick man
sion was like ray of sunshine and
happiness"
The suspense Of police officers
was equally great as they counted
upon Earle's story to substantiate
or break down the carefully woven
theories of who shot the Titan
haired young woman to death as she
lay nearly nude on an operating
table in musty basement room.
New theories sprouted every hour
in the fervid imaginations of the de-
tectives assigned to the case. Such
mysterious story-book murder had
not fallen their way in many year.
All Virtual Prisoners
Those of the Wynekoop family
who returned to the tragic house
after hours of questioning were vir-
tual prisoners within the Swallowed
walls. They were not allowed on the
ground floor where the body was
found. Two policemen were sta
toned outside and inside to watch
their communications with each
other and the outside world.
Gruff Captain John siege, veteran
murder investigator, chung to his
theory that
Some one in that house knows
who killed Rheta Wynekoop."
He had his own theory as to how
the murder was committed.
The girl was killed by some one
in whom she had confidence. She
undressed as if for a medical ex-
animation. 1 believe she was chic
reformed and then shot"
Arrives by Train
The husband arrived in Chicago
by train from Kansas City and i'm
mediately took taxi to the Wyne-
koop home, where ne conferred in
the presence Of a police officer with
his mother recording funeral ar
rangements for his wife.
Wynekoop then was rushed TO the
