mrs. PURDY DIES,
AVOIDING TRIAL
Woman, 60, Facing En-
bezzIement Charge, Victim
of Heart Attack.

Ms. Mary Elizabeth Purdy. go years
old. died today OF heart disease in
Gallinger Hospital, where she was a
prisoner awaiting trial On q swindling
charge. Her husband, DR.. Frank L.
Purdy, q co-defendant. Is held In the
District Jail.
The trial had been delayed because
Of the condition Of the woman. She
was so i'll when brought here in Sep
tember from Detroit, where she had
been captured after a Nationwide
search, that she could only be car
ried in stretcher. DR.. Purdy had
been arrested some time previously
in Detroit.
The Purdys were fugitives from
justice for many months, following
indictment on a charge of getting
$4,000 from Mrs. Florence Means
Kay, 1900 block of Mintwood place,
by representing falsely to her that the
money was needed to enable them
to claim an English estate of vast
worth. She was to be reimbursed
when they got the money.
At the time the charge was placed
DR.. Purdy was arrested In q fash
ionable hotel here. but his wife evaded
apprehension. Afterwards Purdy left
the city.
Mrs. Purdy was In a Detroit hos
pital when found, and was accom-
panied here by nurse. Two months
later when she was to be arraigned
in District Supreme Court, Justice
Gordon refused to allow her to be car
ried in on stretcher and the matter
rested there. The then district at
torney, Leo A. Rover, said he had been
advised by a Government physician
that her condition was not likely to
improve, but he felt the charge too
serious to drop.

GAS TAX FUNDS
SPLIT AIRLY,
LAWYER CLAIMS
Legislator Maps Measure
for More Equitable
Distribution.

Legislation calculated to effect a
more equitable distribution of gaso-
line tax funds will be presented to
the next Indiana general assembly
it has been announced by a group
of st. Joseph county residents.
Led by Samuel FeiWell, st. Jo-
seph county attorney and state rep
resentative. a South Bend deIega
ton visited the statehouse to in
Spect records in the auditors OF
fee.
Mr.. Feiwell termed the present
distribution method, based one
eighth on population and the other
seven-eighths on total road mileage
as grossly unfair to the more popu-
lous counties.
For instance, Mr.. Feiwell pointed
out, St. Joseph county's last gaso-
line tax payment, according to his
estimate, was approximately
S1,25O,OOO and the return to St
Joseph county was only about
$4,000.
The return to st. Joseph was only
few thousands more than that
to counties with one-fourth or
one-fifth of the population of st
Joseph county, in which South
Bend is located.
The larger the population and
the more important the county in
regard to heavy traffic, the more
road upkeep is necessary, Mr.. Fei-
we'll pointed out.
The same situation exists, of
course, in Marion county, where the
last fiscal year distribution was only
S1l5,571.
