He admitted that some property
losses had resulted from the unruly
groups scattering newly made skill
let's and other products about the
prison yard at the reformatory.
Mr.. Coy placed all blame on the
fact that they are not employed
and there is no work for them. He
denied that either the newly ap-
pointed guards or Superintendent
A. F. Miles can be charged with the
failure to maintain discipline.

The state charges DR..
Wynekoop with murder in
connection with her daughter
in-law's death.
The 63-year-old physician sought
to show today that, even though she
can't prove how Rheta died, there
are two alternatives that fit the
facts better than the case drawn by
the prosecution. They are:
l. Murder by a burglar.
2. Suicide.
On three occasions the WynekoOp
property on West Monroe street was
burgIarized, with both cash and
drugs taken, the 63-year-old ply
sician testified under the friendly
questioning of her attorney, w. w.
Smith. This set the stage for her
contention that Rheta may have
been murdered by burglar.
Spent Morning at Hospital
To support the suicide possibility
DR.. Wynekoop said that Rheta had
terrible fear" that she would die
of tuberculosis fear that amount
ed to an obession. Added to this
was "a difference that had grown
up between the pretty, titian-haired
indianapolis violinist and her hand

With this defense built up in the
minds of the jury, the elderly ply

Exhibiting no emotion and
dressed quietly in brown fur coat
and black dress, Mrs. Saunders
heard Judge Baker set March q as
the trial date for herself, Mathers
and Roe. Following the short ar
raignment, the three prisoners were
remanded to the Marion county jail,
where they are held without bond
Through their attorneys, the three
prisoners, who are alleged to have
conSpired in the murder of the min
ister, entered pleas of not guilty.
During the arraignment, Mrs.
Saunders sat in the front row of
spectators, f1anked by Roe and Ma
theirs. She appeared cool and un-
concerned. Mathers likewise seemed
unperturbed by his surroundings, but
Roe moved restleSSly about in his
seat and craned his neck to see the
spectators jamming the rear of the
courtroom.
Examinations Planned
JudSon Stark, attorney for
Mathers, announced his intention
of filing a special plea of insanity
for his client. 1t also was indicated
that an insanity plea may be en-
tered for Mrs. Saunders tomorrow.
In the event of such pleas being
filed the state. it was learned, will
order an immediate examination Of
all three defendants by alienists
and will move to have prisoners
taken to the insane ward in city
hospital until the opening of the
trial
Merle Walker, attorney for Mrs.
Saunders. after entering her plea of
mot guilty" made a motion to
quash the indictment which charges
her and her alleged accomplices
with first and second degree murder.
I'VE object to the direct charge of
murder" said Mr. Walker. Mrs.
Saunders might be an accessory be-
fore the fact. and Masil Roe might
be an accessory after the fact.
Attorneys Plea Overruled
THE fact that the indictment says
a revolver was used to kill the Rev.
Mr.. Saunders and since we know all
the facts in the case, we feel the
indictment is not sufficiently or
specifically stated.
We know that Mrs. Saunders
was not in Indianapolis at the time
of the murder" Mr.. Walker con-
tinued, and therefore she should
not be indicted on the charge of be-
ing an accessory before the fact"
Judge Baker overruled Mr.. Walk
erS motion and declared the in
dictments valid. Mr.. Walker said
The Indianapolis times., 1934-03-02

he would file a special answer to-
morrow on Mrs. Saunders case.
AS Deputy Prosecutor Gerritt
Bates ordered Mrs. saunders and
her fellow prisoners to step up be-
fore the judge to hear reading of
the indictments, newspaper photog-
rapherS set up their cameras.
Objects to Photographers
Mr.. Walker strenuously objected
to the taking of the. pictures, de-
claring that the prisoners "have
had enough publicity already" Un-
perturbed, Mr.. Bates went on to
read the indictments charging the
defendants with "premeditated NAL
ice" in the first degree murder
charge, and murder but without
generalization" in the second degree
charge.
In announcing that he would file
a special plea for Mathers tomor-
row, Mr.. Stark apologized to the
judge for not filing it sooner.
L will state for the record" said
Judge Baker, that Theodore Math-
ers, remaining mute, entered a plea
of not guilty and you may file a
special insanity plea as soon as pos
sible."
Body Found Feb. 2
Harvey L. Fisher, Brazil, attorney
for Roe, entered mot guilty" plea
for his client. When defense attor-
neys asked about separate trials for
the defendants, Judge Baker said,
Il don't know anything about sepa-
rate trials"
Mr.. Saunders, resigned pastor of
the Wabash Street M. E. 1church,
was found slumped in the front seat
of his car at Fortieth and Meridian
street, Feb. 2. His brain had been
pierced by .38-caliber bullet.
Subsequently, police arrested Mrs.
Saunders and Mathers and Roe,
charging them with an alleged plot
to kill the minister. All three de-
PENDANTS have been held without
bond in the Marion county Jail since
the murder.

WOMEN'S FISTS
BACK FAVORITES
IN HOCKEY GAME

Quebec - (UP) 4 Women are
among the most fervent hockey
fans Quebec has, and they take
their interest in this sport very
seriously, SO much SO that they are
willing to fight among themselves
when they want forcibly to support
an opinion.
The spectacle of half a dozen
fights between women spectators
was witnessed at q recent hockey
match here, partisans Of CONNER
cial teams in this city resorting TO
time-honored privileges OF halr-
pulling, scratching and kicking.
Due to modern fashions, the Le-
male warriors were deprived OF the
use of hatpins, since these imple-
ments have gone out of style. but
talon-like nails were brought into
play quite successfully, and more
than one left the arena with
scratches on her face.
The battle started because UNI
der-dogs started outplaying ravor-
ed teams of the afternoon, ano
women supporters of the favorites
began riding iplayers on the WIN
Ming teams. Female fans who
were cheering for the under-dogs
resented this, and heated words
were exchanged, with oratory nm
ally giving way to. fists and nails:
six or seven battles OF this KIND
were staged during the afternoon

TUNNEY SAYS
OLD FIGHTERS
LACKED CLASS
Ex.Chanlp Says Historic
Pugs Were Tough, But
Had Poor Technique

New York (UP) fight
ers of early days had plenty of
staying power, but their ring teach
nique was very poor, in the opin-
ion of Gene Tunney, retired world
champion pugilist.
fTunney quoted extensively from
ancient mythology and Greek, Ro-
man and modern classic literature,
in an article published in the April
issue of Golden Book Magazine.
He cited examples from Homer,
Virgil, Henry Fielding, William
Hazlitt, Victor Hugo, William
Thackeray, Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle and Bernard Shaw, and
compared the old champions with
well-known ring favorites Of to-
day:
chested bravado of a Jack Shar-
key" Tunney says, describing a
Homerian stalwart, and finds the
Roman fighters used ''roundhouse
swings, SO characteristic of King
Levinsky and used occasionally by
Max Baer." At the same time, he
says, the Romans had "a high type
of courage exemplified in the mod
ern ring by the never-say-di atti-
tude of such fighters as Stanley
Ketchell, BARLEY Madden and
Harry Greb."
Bernard Shaw, according to
Tunney, 'knows more about box
ing and what makes 1t tick than
any of the other litterateurs who
have tackled the subject. 1t is too
bad that Shaw found 1t necessary
to seek obscurity and poverty as a
struggling dramatis.< He would
have found fame and fortune as
an up-an-at-'em sports writer. 1t
still isn't too late foar him to aban-
don his cobwebby attic and take
up the career for which he was in
tended.
Tunney declares that the writ
ing of william Hazlitt had pro-
found effect on my ring career"
and says Hazlitt wrote the most
rousing account of a prize flight
ever written in English. The ac-
count is published in the Golden
Book at Tunney's request.
have taken exception to his inter-
est in classic literature, Iunney
says that his only objection to
writing the article was that 1t
might sound too much like some
body's idea of Professor Tunney
delivering literary lecture. !,
IT hope my readers will feel that
I am merely trying to show what
an honorable place boxing has
achieved in world literature. Be-
cause of this hope those VINO
control the destinics of the game
in this country will do everything
to keep it Clean"
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1934-04-04

President william Harridge
thought: Its q bit too early to
make any prediction but / believe
that the margin between the first
and last place teams will be consid-
erably smaller this season than in
several years"
Manager LIE Fonseca Of the Chi
cago White Sox is ready to bet
anybody a hat that they can't pick
the four American League clubs
that will finish in the first division
this season.
"They don't have to name how
the teams will finish" commented
Fonseca. "Just name the teams.
1 don't believe rortune-teller can
do it."
Action Ahead
Five fans, the league president
and a manager would seem to rep
resent a fair cross-section of the
outlook for an interesting race in
the American league this season.
For the past four years the same
four clubs-New York, washington,
Philadelphia and Cleveland-have
finished in the first division.
Since 1926, only three clubs
Detroit in 1927, and st Louis in
1928 and 1929-have been able to
break up the first division mon
opoly of New York, Washington,
Philadelphia and Cleveland.
Anything Can Happen
From the present alignment OF
strength it would seem that the
American league Is pointing for It's
most successful race since the Yam
KEGS won the pennant with a per-
centage of .591 in 1926. In adj
dition to having five potential PEN
nant contenders, any one of the
leagues other three clubs. Chicago,
st Louis or Philadelphia, might
pull surprise and edge its way
into the first division.
