between defense counsel and Prose-
cutor Herbert Wilson, Miss Cora
Steele, Terre Haute school teacher
indicted for grand larceny, was
scheduled to be brought into Grim
inal court thi: afternoon before
Judge Frank P. Baker.
Trial of Miss Steele, originally set
for next Tuesday, will be for the
alleged theft of $4,000 in bonds
from the state teachers retirement
fund.
Waving arraignment Jan. 9, Miss
Steele pleaded not guilty to the
grand jury indictment of grand
larceny.
Asked the significance of the
sudden change in schedule. Mr..
Wilson said he had no statement
to make.
Asked if the change meant an
agreement had been reached be-
tween defense counsel and the
prosecutors office, Mr. Wilson re-
iterated he had no statement to
make.
The penalty for conviction on the
charge of grand larceny is one to
ten years.
Mr.. Wilson denied Wednesday re-
ports that Miss Steele would be per-
mitted to plead guilty and in return
be given a suspended sentence.
Asked today if there has been any
change in his attitude on this queS-
ton, Mr.. Wilson repeated that he
had nothing to say.

Ends Life

Verne Sankey Hangs Self
With NeCktie: Faced
Life Term.
BIZ United Press


SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Feb. g.
Verne Sankey, confessed leader in
two abduction plots, was dead to-
day, having chosen suicide rather
than life Imprisonment.
Sankey hanged himself from the
bars of his cell in the South Da-
kota state prison last night by a
moose fashioned from his necktie.
He faced a life Imprisonment sem
tence for the confessed kidnapping
of Charles Boettcher 1 of Denver
He also confessed to the abduc-
ton of Haskell Bohn, st. Paul
youth.
Sankey was questioned about the
kidnapping and murder of the infant
son of Charles A. Lindbergh, but
denied participating in that crime.
The suicide occurred while two
federal marshals, Frank Gilmore
and A. P. Nealy, stood within a few
feet of his cell He wadded up
handkerchief and crammed it down
his throat to drown any noise he
might make while strangling. The
marshals were inspecting the cell of
Gordon Alcorn, Sankey's chief lieu
tenant in the Boettcher kidnapping.
Federal officials who were in
charge of prosecuting Sankey moved
today to bring Alcorn into court to
plead guilty. They likewise prepared
to prosecute Mrs. Fern Sankey and
other persons who will be charged
with violations of the Lindbergh
anti-kidnaping law.

The only information regarding
Mr.. Bremer'S ordeal was made pub
lie through the United Press by DR..
H. T. Nippert, aged Bremen family
physician.
Dr. Nippert revealed, after treat
ing Mr.. Bremen upon his return, that
the young banker had been beaten
into submission by two kidnapers
who entered his automobile last
Jan. II when he stopped for traf-
fic signal.
The men sprang into Mr.. Bre-
mer's automobile and dubbed him
with pistols when he sought to re-
sist. The kidnapers then drove Mr.
Bremer's automobile to a place
where they had an automobile OF
their own, DR.. Nippert said.
Although dazed, Mr.. Bremen did
not lose consciousness at any time,
DR.. Nippert syealed. The Stalwart
victim was carried from his own
automobile to the abductors' car
and blindfolded.
After his preliminary rough
handling, Mr.. Bremen was not
harmed, DR.. Nippert said. He
quoted Bremen as saying:
II got to be rather Sociable with
them. They fed me well and since
there was nothing else to do, I got
plenty of sleep"
The kidnapers required Mr.. Bre-
mer to write notes, two of which
were delivered through DR.. Nippert.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9. - The

suspended until the Hoover admin

fore the bar of the senate.
Mr.. MacCracken, in letter to
Vice-President John w. Garner, re-
fused to appear before the senate
on the ground that the senate
functions were legislative and not
judicial.
Chairman Hugo Black of the spe-
cial committee which has been in
vestigating airmail contracts offered
the order proposing Mr.. Nc
Cracken's arrest.
1t was adopted after objection by
Senator William E. Borah (Rep.,

Mr.. McCrackens action was a
surprise to the senate.

Senator Borah's was the only voice

added he considered the contempt

He informed the senate he would

fifty to Seventy-five cents an hour,
and that for six weeks he drew
$3.50 a week instead of SIS week,
and paid the extra $3.50 each week
to the two town board members.
None of the other workmen on

which S12.12 still was in the fund.
The announcement from the state
CWA office said that a foreman on
Marion county drainage project,
who was accused of graft in one Of
the four cases first reported, had re-

on the job, and when the driver
assigned to that truck became sick,

paid the drivers himself.
