charred bodies were found in De-
cember, 1880.

home, is suing Paul Brown. inventor
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Lee Brown
All three of the Browns disappeared
at the time of the fire. Bunge seeks
$4,000 in damages.
Stripped to the waist, Bunge stood
before a jury Monday as DR.. M. G..
Murphy, Morgantown, described the
course of bullets which it is alleged
were fired through his body by Paul
Brown. Bunge has contended since
the fire that when he appeared at
the flaming house at noon, Paul
Brown shot him.
Frank Cruze, neighbor, told of
finding Bunge lying at the roadside,
wounded
Defense attorneys Wednesday are
expected to attempt to prove that
Paul Brown died in the fire. Med
ical chemists have disagreed over
sex Of the two bodies found in the
ruins.
Presumably, the bodies found were

windows of colonial mansion today
stare out across wide eXpanse
of carefully groomed grass and gar
denS and winding shaded drives
where happy children of the Bruce
j. Macdonald family once played,
mute symbols of a mother who
struggled to her doom against her
sons restless spirit.
In jail, a scant mile away, sits
Balfe MACDONALD, II, who Monday
confessed the brutal murder of his
60-year-old mother in her bedroom
on the morning of May 81.
Mrs. MacDonald's murder, exc
cuted with a pair of onyx book
ends used to batter in her skull,
brought to an end a life devoted
to her children, Bale, Janet, %,
and Gwenlaurie, 20, following the
death of Mr. Macdonald, former
mayor of Flint and cashier of the
First National bank here.
Son Flees; Caught
Balfe could not be found after
the murder. With "a 16-year- old
chum, William Tergwiller Jr., he fled
in his automobile. They were ar
rested in Nashville, Tenn, on ex-
tortion charges, identified, and re-
turned here Friday.
The youth was taken to court a
short time after he confessed to
Prosecutor Andrew Transue that he
murdered his mother.
He signed written confession, in
which he stated he struck her with
the heavy bookends after they had
quarrel over their vacation plans.
Il didn't know I killed her." Bale
said today. II ran away and learned
she was dead when I read a story
in Louisville newspaper. The con-
fession didn't help. I still have
that lump in my throat"
Sacrificed for Son
Mortified friends today recalled
the struggles of Mrs. Macdonald to
educate her son. Her sympathies
always we're WIN ner CnllQren.
Balfe's occasions Of disobedience
often brought the comment, HE has
not had the advantage of a fathers
guidance that most boys have had"
The Macdonald children grew to
young man and womanhood. Janet
married in 1927. She eloped with
Harold Palmer, youth from a fam
lily of modest means and without
social ambitions.
The daughters disappearance re-
suited in three-day search. The
pair returned, but Mrs. Macdonald
never welcomed the Palmer youth
into the family. Friction led to a
divorce two years later.
Janet later entered the Univer-

DEATH
HELD SUICIDE

COSHOCTON, Ohio, Aug. %
G.N.SO.-A coroner's verdict of
suicide was expected here today
in the death of Fred Wallace, 81,
editor and publisher of the Co.'S
hocton Tribune, whose body was
found in the Muskingum River
five miles south of Coshocton last
night by campers.
Coroner F. w. Craig and Pros
ecutor Russell E. Lyons, conducting
the investigation, indicated that
the verdict of suicide would be
returned.
When found, Mr.. Wallace's body
was weighted with a plow point
and two hammers. Wire found
around each ankle led police to
believe that a weight between the
feet had broken loose.
Officials said today they would
not question any particular per-
sons in connection with the case.
They learned that Mr.. Wallace
had been seen lettering in an
alley near the newspaper plant
late Saturday night and the fact
that he left money, his keys and
checkbooks on his office desk and
failed to enter the plant until all
employees had left indicated he
contemplated suicide, authorities
said.
