A heavy trace of mercury was

was reported in the liver
Shortly before the report, DR..
Wynekoop was taken out of the

At the same time Judge Joseph B..

formal charges must be filed against

Defendant in Bond Theft

$4,000 bond was located in Cedar
Rapids, Ia. the home Of Miss
Steele's brother, Otis Steele, accord
ing to Mr.. Feeney.
At Jail here, Miss Steele Stren-
uously objected to submitting to the
routine search which follows the
admission of all prisoners.
Mrs. Helen Banford, a matron,
unloosed Miss Steele's hair and
searched every bit of her clothing.
Finally a small package was located,
sewed to a slip beneath Miss Steele S
corset.
Mrs. Banford removed the package
and found it contained two $1,000
bonds and $50 in money. The
bonds were not any missing from
the retirement fund.
The bonds we're traced by Ross
Teckemyer, field examiner of the
state board of accounts, who was a
principal witness before the grand
jury. Others appearing in the case
were o. H. Griest, former secretary
of the fund; H. G. Wells. a fund
employe; Charles o. Williams, a
fund board member; Thomas c.
Howe, a former board member;
Robert Hougham, present board
secretary, and Mrs. Davis.
Miss Steele is believed to have re-
turned to Terre Haute after her re-

Wynekoop telling of conversations
which she had had with her dead
husband, as reason for belief that
the woman physician was psyche
pathic by nature.

Citations, by the first of the year,

announced today.
Appraisals will be made as rapidly

Arrival here of R. r. Rennie, spe-

will aid materially in handling the
large volume of loan applications
which must be considered, Mr.. Nc

Similar plans are being followed
nationally after federal adoption of
a program instituted by Mr.. McKin-
ney in Indiana, which proved so
successful that it was placed in
general use.
Under the arrangement, mort
