DETECTOR SAYS
WYNEKOOP IS
TELLING LIE
Earle, Husband of Murdered

Excused, Heart Weak

CHICAGO, Nov. "a G.N.S0,

on today to solve the Wynekoop
murder mystery.

laboratory were DR.. Alice Lindsay

husband Of Rheta, the victim. The
mother and son are the central
figures in the chloroform operat'

Fastened to Arm
Early today DR.. Wynekoop, her
gray hair hanging wisp-like over
her white. but calm, face. sat in
a comfortable wicker chair in the
Fillmore police station, Chicago.
Strong leather straps holding in.
struments for grading blood pres
sure were secured around the
doctors arm.
Two thin wires ran from the
listening instrument. a veritable
electric ear, to the black box of
magic on a small table at the
doctors side. Attached to this
box were meters. the movements
of which were recorded on paper
by an electric finger which manip'
ulated a pen in jagged lines
streaked across the paper as the
questioning of the doctor started
Irregular Heart
DR.. Clarence Muehlberger
watching the recording, spoke to
Capt. Duffy then. He had OBJ

finger palpitated violently. DR.
Wynekoop was excused because
of her irregular heart action. The
experts said that the instru
ment's recordings were inspired
not by her reaction. but by the
irregular beat of her heart.
Seated next in the chair was
the son. Earle, who gripped the

According to police, Earle's Of
fer to make a confession came
after Capt. Thomas Duffy shot
him this question:
DO you suspect anyone Of
committing this MURDER"
Earle answered:
81 do not"
And Immediately. according to
the authorities, the lie detector
in front of the young husband of
Rheta fluttered with the contra
diction:
"Lie! Lie!"
Later Captain Duffy issued this
statement:
1--WE talked to Earle along the
lines Of love and devotion to his
mother. He told US the feeling
between himself and his mother
was greater than among the
others.
I'VE told him then that this
tragedy could have been started

Young .Wynekoop was reported
in pitiable condition after a

WAR OVER GOLD
POLICY Of J. s.
SPREADS
Federal Reserve Officers Hit at
Program; Morgenthau Barred
BY Bank Board
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service

The rift between those support.
ing and those opposing the Admin.
istration'S gold policy widened to-
day as the new Acting Secretary
of the Treasury, Henry Nor.
genthau, jr., went to Warm
Springs to lay the latest develop
mentS before President Roosevelt.
These developments included:
l. Federal Reserve banks are
now selling instead of buying
Government bonds. Heretofore,
the Reserve banks have been
fairly heavy purchasers of Fed
eral securities in the open mar
ket. In the past week, however,
they have reduced their hold
ingS.
Council Hits Gold Policy
2. The Federal Reserve Ad.
visory Council opposed by reso-
luton, the current gold expert
ment.
3. Secretary Morgenthau has
been excluded from meeting
with the Federal Reserve Board.
The law provides that the Sec
rotary of the Treasury sits with
the board exofficio. but an old
ruling has been dug up which
excludes the undersecretary,
which is Morgenthaus official
title, even though he is Acting
Secretary.
4. The Treasury itself is sup
porting the Government bond
market through funds from the
Postal Savings system. the Farm
Credit Administration. and the
Federal deposit insurance fund.
It was denied, however, that the
Government was buying its own
securities simply to support the
market. Instead, it was said
the Government considers it's
own securities the best invest
ment possible.
S. A quiet investigation Is
under way by government agen.
cieS into charges that "a con.
spiracy" is under way by prom.
inent New York bankers to dis.
credit the gold experiment by
short-selling Government Sc
curities.
President to Hear Story
All these matters, and some
others involving Treasury person.
mel in the new set-up, will be
dumped in the Presidents lap by
his new acting Treasury head.
Whether there will be any
change in the fiscal direction the
Administration has been travelling
to be seen. AdviceS from
Warm Springs would indicate
not.
Moreover, the President Is
thoroughly convinced that his
currency program has
thesubstantial support of Con-
gress. Quiet surveys by Admin.
istration officials are said to have
disclosed this to Mr.. Roosevelt's
satisfaction, Notwithstanding the
detection of a few Democratic
stalwarts like Senator Carter
Glass of Virginia.
