YOUNG BRIDE IN
NEEDHAM CRIME
IS NOT BAILABLE
Her Attorney Found She
Had Two More Indict-
mentS to Confront

Dedham, Mass Mar 21-UP)-
One or possibly two secret indict-
ments against pretty Norma
Brighton Millen have blocked eff
forts to bail the young bride, held
as an accessory to the Needham
bank robbery in which her husband
Murton, his brother, Irving, and
Abe Fraber allegedly killed two po-
licemen.
Existence of the secret indict-
ments was disclosed when Attor-
ney George Douglas went to Ded-
ham Jail yesterday and indicated
that he might soon be able to pro-
vide the $4,000 bail asked of Nor
ma. Douglas was informed that in
addition to being indicted as an ac-
cessory after the fact to the rob-
berry. Norma also had been secret
ly indicted as an accessory after
the fact to the Staying of PATROL
man Forbes A. Mcleod, one of the
two officers killed in the $4,000
holdup.
A capias for arrest of Norma
on the second indictment would
be served if any attempt were
made to bail her. Douglas was in
formed. Later it was reported that
second secret Indictment, charg-
ing the 19-year-old minister's
daughter with being an accessory
after the fact to the Staying of
Patrolman Frank o. Haddock, also
had been returned.
81 will demand her immediate ar
raignment on this secret indictment
and on any other secret indictment
against her." Douglas said. II will
ask for low bail on all the indict-
ments and seek her freedom"
Faber's attirney, William r.
Scharton, has rejected a reported
suggestion that all of the defend
ants. including Norma, seek per-
mission for a general conference
at Dedham Jail in the preparation
of their defense.
my client, Faber, does not want
to meet the Millens on any common
ground, nor does he want to meet
Norma" Scharton said. "His plans
are laid. 1t doesn't matter wheth-
er there are a dozen more indict-
ments against him. His defense Is
insanity, and he is not culpable.'

Upward of 100000 workers

numerous minor menaces to indus

DEATH MYSTERY NEAR FAIRBANKS
 IS CLEARING UP


 Natural death, instead of murder, appears to have been the fate of Albert A. Fink, trapper of the Manley Hot Springs district, who, disappeared about two years ago from his home in that area. His body has been found near Dugan Greek.
 The remains were discovered by a searching party headed by Ira Weisner.
 The body was found at a place which, according to conclusive evil dence, was Fink's last camp. It is about eight miles from Dugan Greek beyond the niggerheads on the Hootlanana watershed. Fink's 22-caliber high power rifle, ammu- milton, shoepacks, socks, overalls, underwear, watch and other arti- cles were near his rib bones and other bones of his body, showing his death occurred while he was at camp.
 
 The presence of Fink's personal property near his reamins leads to the poss ble conclusion, United States Attorney Ralph J. Rivers said, that the trapper died na- tural death or was killed by bear instead of having been the victim of foul play.
 On statements made by Merle Albert, 16 years old, native, last June, Frank Justin, a native man, was brought to Fairbanks on sus- picion of having knowledge of Fink's disappearance. Albert at that time asserted he could lead officers to Fink's grave
