panied by rumors that Hitler in
tended to ask Foreign Minister Pierre

serve peace, to visit him as his guest.
There was no statement that Ger
many would not. on terms which re-
garded as compatible with its honor,

resigned-giving the necessary two
years notice-in october 1888.
Thus it was indicated that Hit

Europe.
There had been talk that the note
would be an uncompromising one
Instead. it was indicated that Hit
Ter foresaw a period Of difficult ne

In his final instructions, Judge
John w. Hornaday warned the jur-
ors that in case a guilty verdict is
returned they must specify whether
Mathers was sane or insane at the
time of the Staying
Mrs. Saunders Released
A jury in the same court last De-
Cember convicted Mrs. Neoma Saun-
res, widow of the slain pastor and
co-defendant in the case, but found
that she was temporarily insane, a
verdict that resulted in her release.
Mathers attorneys contended
throughout the trial that he also
was of unsound mind when Saun-
ders was shot to death on North
Side indianapolis street a year ago.
An unexpected defense move re-
suited in the Mathers case reaching
the jury earlier than had been ex-
pected.
Ernest M. Hornaday, Boone Coun-
ty prosecutor, had just finished de-
livering the states final argument
when the defense announced that
they would make no final plea.
Judge Hornaday Immediately in
structed the jury. The judge and
prosecutor are brothers.
Threats Laid to Pastor
For several months preceding the
Staying Mathers and Saunders were
roommates at an Indianapolis en-
balming school. The pastor resigned
from his parish at Wabash year
and half ago after several con-
troVersies with members of the
church. His wife and two sons, aged
8 and IL. remained at Wabash while
he studied embalming.
Testimony at both trials brought
out that Saunders had been drink
ing heavily for year preceding his
death. Both his wife and Mathers
charged that he was perverted and
submitted them to indignities.
1t was these idignities and his
constant threats TO kill them both
that prompted the Staying, accord
ing to the testimony.

days after Saunders was slain say
ing that Mrs. Saunders had given
him $40 to buy gun. He repudi-
ated this confession somewhat dur
ing his trial, saying that he had
planned to use the weapon to take
his own life.
Trial Lass Two Weeks
On the night Of Feb. 2, 1884 Saun-
ders, Mathers and Masil Roe, 10, a
lifelong friend of the defendant,
were on a drinking party. About
midnight they drove to the North
Side Of indianapolis and the minis
ter was shot through the head. His
pocket book was emptied and left
on the running board OF his car, ap-
parently to give the impression that
robbery was the motive. Suisse
quent investigation resulted in the
arrest Of Mathers and Mrs. Saun-
ders.
Roe also was arrested. He told the
story Of the Staying and was re-
leased because police we're con-
vinced that he was not involved.
Mrs. Saunders trial lasted nearly
two weeks. Mathers trial required

FROM THE PRESS BOX
Sinister O'Brien Stalks Tennis Stars,
Menacing Amateur Body's Pure Dollars.
BY JOHN LARDNER.

O'Brien gets out Of bed early,
cleans and loads his fountain
pen and stalks the turf for
simon-pure athletes who have
strayed from the sheltering wing
Of their amateur boss.
He Is on the trail of a couple of
plump numbers right now. In fair
ness to him, I will quote his own
version of the hunting Of Fred Perry
and Francis Xavier Shields.
Special Technique for Perry.
DERRY is tough because you have
to listen to him as well as talk
to him. Mr.. O'Brien overcomes this
hazard by stuf1ing his ears with a
special preparation Of cotton which
vibrates to Just one word-"Yes." +"
Everything else bounces of.
Pred, Oh pal" says Mr.. O'Brien,
Il am beginning to have a sneaking
hunch that the reason you won't turn
pro Is because you are scared of Vines,
Barnes, Tilden and Richards. They
can all beat you. If you don't think
so. here is my proposition. I'll give
you $4,000 for signing and a bonus
of $4,000 If you win majority Of
exhibition matches from any one pro
I name. Hahzabaht it?"
Mr.. O,Brien knows right away that
Perry is not saying yes: because he
can't hear anything He knows also
that Perry is answering at great
length and with some show of spirit,
the gist Of what Perry says is this:
Il want no part Of you, Mr..
OBrien. I don't want to see
you or hear you mentioned.
You are an evil influence.
Turning pro Is the farthest
thing from my mind. Make 1t
100000 and III do it."
Well, that's higher than Mr.. O'Brien
wants to 60, so he turns to Shields.
Shields Is wavering as we 60 to press.
I'D like to be a movie star" he
says, "and If the producers feel the
same way about it, I will be. It all
depends on whether they give me an
other contract. II not, might sign
with YOU Let me see that gold brick
again. You say your mine is over
flowing with stuff like this. It doesn't
seem hardly possible"
That's how the sinister O'Brien
works. If Shields fails in Hollywood.
he probably will be trapped by the
pros and forced to accept hard cash
instead of sandwiches. No wonder TIE
amateur officials are anxious to stamp
out this vicious influence.
II they don't do it quickly. they
won't have q pure dollar left to call
their own.

M Gehrig's bid for the American
" League batting crown and
