ness of grease, yet with a bright sun
shining from clear skies, the elevens

ries was stopped by Clifford after
three-yard gain. Berries added two
at center. Berries made a lateral

Torture of Daughter 10,
Charged to Young WIDOW

to make telephone call. Complete
ly without funds, she borrowed the
necessary nickel.
Her husband, she said, died four
years ago and she had been the
sole support of Bernice and a son,
Joseph, IL, since then. To get
enough to clothe. feed and house
them, she said, she worked days in
one place and nights another.
She offered no defense for her
drastic punishment of Bernice ex-
cept that she was nervous.
When you are as nervous and
have as many worries as I have, you
sometimes do things you are sorry
for afterward," she was quoted as
saying.
Mrs. Heitz did not sleep but in
stead paced her cell the whole night
through, Jail matrons said. This
morning she told The indianapolis
Times cynically that no matter what
she said it will be twisted around
and used against me-"
She paced the cell and dug finger
nails into her wrist. She said the
child had been constant source of
worry to her, and that she some
times became unbearably nervous
over it. The boy, she said, was
much easier to discipline.
This morning Mrs. Heitz tele-
phoned friend and asked her to
get lawyer and see about bond.
Bond was set last night at $1,000
and the charge at present is vag-
rancy. In the conversation she
blamed the screams of the child
at the time Of the burning for her
imprisonment.
When she appeared before Judge
Dewey Myers today in municipal
court he raised the bail to $4,000 and
continued the case to Dec. 5 at the
request of police, who will investi-
gate in the meantime and decide
what charge to place against her.
Both Bernice and Joseph attend
a parochial school and Bernice told
police that she had previously been
burned and treated cruelty other
wise by her mother. as punishment.
Once, she said, she had been
treated by the school nurse for
burns. On that occasion she said
she led the nurse TO believe that
she had been playing with FIRE.
