4-POWER PACT
Macdonald Arrives at Paris

Promote Peace.
BY RALPH HEIZEN

PARIS, March 21.-Prime Min
lister Ramsay Macdonald of Eng
land arrived in Paris today bear
ing the text of the four power peace
pact proposed by Premier Musso-
lini, and Immediately placed the
project before Premier Edouard
Daladier of France.
At the British Ernbassay Mac
Donald conferred with Daladier
Sir John Simon, British foreign
minister, and Joseph Paul-Boncour
foreign minister of France.
The French government, it was
learned, will not commit itself def
nitely until Daladier has under
take1 prolonged study of the Italian
plan, in company with experts, after
hearing MacDonald's outlined ex-
plantations of the real significance
of various clauses.
French opinion is inclined to dis
trust some of the proposals, but it
is not believed that Daladier will re-
ject the plan outright.
Instead he is expected to express
a willingness to Cooperate in dis
cussions among the powers involved
France, England, Italy and Ger
many, provided that certain of the
most serious objections to the plan
are removed.
He will insist firmly that France
can not abandon the Little Entente
and Poland in favor of the creation
of dictatorial block of the four
major powers in Europe, and he also
is expected to insist that the pro-
posed pact be extended to all ma
tions of an equality basis, permit
ting active participation by all.

This was the theory of detectives
today as they assembled evidence in
an effort to bare motives of one of
the most brutal murders in the city's
history, in which the killer drained
the body of his victim of blood and
cut it into fourteen pieces.
"Nola," woman of mystery, is
believed the key figure in the crime.
Younger by many years than the
53-year-old, 235-pound Evans, Nola
is believed to be the woman who
frequently called the killer on the
phone, asking: rs Charlie there?"
When answered in the Affirmative
according to Dorothy Hill, Negro
maid, the woman would say: Never
mind calling hlm-I just wanted to
know"
If Mrs. Evans answered the call.
the woman would hang up without
further words, according to the
maid.
Detectives believe Evans took the
dismembered body to Ohio, his for
mer home, with the intention of
disposing of it in the Ohio river
and returning to Indianapolis.
That the divorce action Mrs.
Evans filed against her husband
March 3 may have been the spark
that fired Evans murderous i'm
pulses is seen in the fact that she
