DR.. WYNEKOOP
IS.'vERY SICK
COURT TOLD
Trial May Be Stopped,
Judge Admits; Doctors
Report Awaited.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-The operat-
ing room murder trial of DR.. Alice
Lindsay Wynekoop was stalemated
today with further prosecution of
the ailing woman physician depend
ent on the report of thre e
physicians.
DR.. Wynekoop was under phySi-
clans care at the county Jail in
Urinary after the fifth heart attack
she has suffered since the begin
ing of the trial. Three physicians
examined her shortly after yester-
days session of court was Cancelled
because of her condition. She is
standing trial on charges of killing
her daughter -in-law, Rheta, pretty
indianapolis girl.
The examining physicians will re-
port to Judge Joseph B. David at
the resumption of the trial on Mon
day. If continuation of the trial
offers grave danger to DR.. Wyne-
coop mistrial will be declared,
Judge David said.
After their first examination of
the aged defendant, the physicians
agreed that she is very sick" They
refused to reveal what their recon-
mendation to the court will be. The
physicians were DR.. Arthur BY
field, representing the court; DR..
William D. Mentally, representing
the state, and DR.. Frank Chauvet,
representing the defense.
States Attorney Charles S.
Dougherty said he would fight
against declaration of a mistrial
because of the defendants illness.
1.-THE nature of the defendants
illness, high blood pressure and
hardened arteries, demands that the
trial go on to the jury" Mr.. Dough-
erty said. Our information is that
the doctor might die in ten minutes
or live ten years.
1.-The state has no inclination to
hasten her death by unnecessary
strain, but there is no reason to as
sumo that DR.. Wynekoop's health
is going to improve. If we don't try
her now we won't ever be able to
try her"

The rule, pushed through by the
leadership, held general debate to
three hours, but did not limit
amendments.
Democratic leaders confidently
expected adoption of the bill by a

The senate situation, however, was
increasingly uncertain.
Senator Alben w. Barley Dem,

BUSINESS BRISK
ALL over U. S.
Pickup Exceeds Optimistic
Predictions Given at
New Years.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-A pickup
in business conditions exceeding all
the optimistic predictions that
greeted the New Year was shown
this week in reports to the United
Press from all sections of the
country.
Not only were the big indicators
of which way general business is
going-such as steel production, out
put of electric power and railroad
freight OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, but re-
tail sales were the best in the last
few years.
Merchants reported the most
active demand since 1929 for dry
goods, clothing, furniture and other
items and their shelves were rapid
ly cleared, making for a brisk bust
ness in wholesale channels. Stores
throughout the country reported the
most active post-holiday business in
years.
An undercurrent of optimism on
the part of business men-big and
small-and the general public was
responsible for the rapid pace of
recovery, it was reported. This was
indicated also by the active trading
and higher prices in the country'S
leading security and commodity
markets.

I'm Dresser; I'm Dresser" the
school teacher shouted as the Off
GERS surrounded his automobile. He
was weak from lack of food and in
a highly nervous state.
Mr.. Dresser said the automobile
which met the convictS bore a
Texas license.
The school teacher was given SIS
before the convictS released him.
He said the money was furnished
Clark and Brady by the woman
driver of the second automobile,
who appeared elated over seeing the
two convicts. She greeted them
by their first names, Dresser said.
Mr.. Dresser said both the con-
victs were armed with pistols. Brady
and Clark alternated at the wheel
of Mr.. Dresser's automobile, he
said. The teacher sat between his
captors during the long night drive.
Authorities were fearful of terri
bic depredations if Brady and Clark
have joined Barrow, as the descrip-
ton of the woman would indi-
cate.

Eastman Asks Legislation
Compelling Companies
to Consolidate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Trial
legislation should be enacted COM
polling railroads to consolidate I'M
der strict government supervision,
Joseph B. Eastman. federal trans
portation co-ordinator, reported to
President Roosevelt this afternoon.
The consultations, he said,
should be effected through inter-
change of railroad securities; in
stead of cash, thus eliminating spec
ulation.
Mr.. Eastman said he would re-
quest formally the compulsory con-
solidation legislation later.
The co-ordinator explained that
public ownership and operation of
railroads was the logical solution
of the railroads economic tangles
but added Il do not recommend it
now because the country is not in
financial condition to stand the
acquisition of these great proper
ties"
He pointed out, however, that
government control of the carriers
during the World war in this coun-
try and the operation of the
Canadian National system did not
constitute proof that public owner
ship was impractical.
He recommended that the present
policy of coordination and con-
solidation authorized in the emer-
gency act be continued for another
year before taking final legislative
steps.

Louis Dresser, Kansas school
teacher kidnapped by the pair, was
released unframed when the con-
tact was made. He identified po-
lice photographs of Brady and Clark
as those of his captors. Mr.. Dresser
and his automobile were seized near
Lansing yesterday to facilitate the
convicts' flight.
The school teacher said that when
the prisoners reached Oklahoma
another automobile awaited them

by a woman who. according to Mr..
DresSer's description, was Bonnie

companion of Barrow, who earlier
this week led the escape of five con-
victs from Texas prison farm.
Mr.. Dresser said the convicts re-
leased him on the promise that he
would not advise authorities of his

Identification of the miss
ing bankers signature on the
only ransom message deliv-
cred so far prompted the as
surance that he was not in
jured seriously.
Other evidence indicated he had
had bloody battle with his captors.
Letter Believed Hoax
Police joined with Postmaster w.
G. Robertson of Minneapolis in ex-
pressing the belief that a Crank"
wrote a letter, received by Mr.. Rob-
ertson today, purportedly from one
of the kidnapers and declaring that
the victim had been killed "acci-
dentally" and buried in a snowbank
near Anoka.
One group of the wholly unveri-
fed reports that began sweeping the
Twin Cities last night and which =
continued today said that Mr.. Brem-
er's body had been found at or near
the same town, but United Press
investigation proved it unfounded.
Other rumors dealt with reports
of various suspicious characters
having been seen at assorted places
and times. Police, though dubious,
were checking all such information.
They denied other reports that sus-
poets in the abduction were under
arrest.
Chief Begs to Act
Police Chief Thomas Dahill, who
has had only snatches of sleep since
Wednesday night, continued about
his work unruffled, but it was
learned that he had begged the
elder Mr.. Bremen to "call off the
efforts to pay ransom and let me
turn my men loose" He has sixty
seven detectives and plainclothes
men ready to go into action on a
moments notice.
Mr.. Bremen refused and reiterated
his confidence that the kidnapers
would make good on their promise
to return his son unframed if the
ransom were paid. He declined to
be alarmed by the delay in the
second contact.
Friends of the Bremers pointed
out that the ransom money had
been raised in few hours and that
the kidnapers undoubtedly had not
anticipated that the large sum
would be ready for several days.
