WOMAN PUZZLES
POLICE IN MURDER
Declared Seen on Porch on
Night Wealthy Bachelor
Was Slain.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, April THE
vraith-like appearance of a woman
in white in the neighborhood of Bert
F. Callahan's home perplexed police
today as they continued to search for
the slayer of the moderately wealthy
45-year-old bachelor real estate
dealer.
From apparently authentic sources
officers received reports that the fig
ure in white was seen near the Calla-
han residence on Thursday night.
The body was found early Friday
morning when colored maid, noting
blood stains on the porch, summoned
police, who forced an entrance. On
the living room floor lay Callahan
with bullet wound in his heart and
cuts on his knuckles, indicating he
.had engaged in struggle with his
slayer.
Declares He Saw Woman.
Lieut.. Chester Butler of the State
police told of being awakened late at
night and from his room across the
street from the Callahan home, see
ing the woman in white on the porch.
He said he watched the figure for
time and then fell asleep.
II surmised that everything was
o. X" said Lieut.. Butler. Il listened
for a few minutes and then concluded
that nothing was wrong I went back
to bed"
Employees at a tavern a block from
the Callahan home told of having
oil nf 40
Thursday to young woman garbed
IN a white evening gown. She en-
tered alone, drank her beer and de-
parted, the tavern employees said.
Man Believed Murderer.
Police were certain the murder was
committed by man, but, neverthe-
less, they believed the woman in
white. if found, could give important
information.
From close friends of Callahan Off
nation. No one knew of any enemies
or of any love affairs.
Robbery was advanced as the most
likely motive for the murder. as a
$4,000 diamond ring worn habitually
by the victim was missing from his
hand. A revolver kept in his home
was gone also. He apparently had
been shot with his own weapon.
Officers were still further con-
founded by the strange arrangement
OF the body. A towel had been tied
about the body and an Oriental rug
from the luxuriously furnished house
had been thrown across the chest.

said Mr.. Timberg. Hundreds were

We got some applause and the
morbidity in the ranks was something
terrific"
The combination has worked numer-
GUS times since then. All that
comaraderie. as We may have told
you, is not confined to the stage. The
comedians really are friends. or their
dressing room act fooled us.
We offer in evidence that fact that
Herman, jr.. as he left the theater on
opening night. stuck his head in the
door of the senior Rooney's dressing
room and sang out, Good night, Uncle
Pat" And not long afterward M
Rooney confided to us that he would
like to borrow the second Timberg son
for his own act. Thinks he is going
to make a great comedian.

We're No Nearer Bristol

Of late years there hasn't been as much
talk about opening a new route to Bristol
as there was once upon time. In TACT,
so far as we know, the State Highway
Department has given up plans OF WIDEN
ing and improving any of the present
dirt roads which were mentioned as po-
tential state highways some years back.
Our reason for bringing up this subject
right now is the recent discussion OF the
new Waterbury-New Haven road via
Prospect. 1t shortens present routes by
six miles.
The Prospect road was discussed as
much as the Bristol one in the bygone
years. However, Senator Joseph H. Law
lor was vitality interested in securing the
former. By persistence he finally Sc
cured state highway cooperation for this
project just as it was his persistence that
finally enabled the city to shift the bur
den of maintaining Thomaston avenue
back to the highway department. 1t
looks as if the best chance of having &
new route to Britsol via Bucks Hill or
Wolcott lies in having legislator push
the matter at Hartford.
Of course of recent years Bristol has
definitely fallen into the Hartford area.
1t is in the trading area of which this city
is Lne center. lnere HlSHC NC oolile u aug
procured for Waterbury if new and
shorter road was built, but the real value
lies in making Waterbury and Hartford,
plus the intervening towns, more accessi-
ble 1t is an hours ride to the Capital
now. There is considerable traffic be-
tween the two cities. All such reasons
add to the need for the straighter route
through the north end of our city and
passing through Bristol We did think
CWA and PWA work might result in a
new road 1t looks now as if direct legs
lative aid will only solve the problem
