Thinks Defense
HAS Lots of Money"
Wilentz attacked the defense plea
OF lack of money.
II think they've got lots Of money,
he shouted. Money from cranks,
fools, all over the country"
Reilly, he declared, had a reputation
Of representing more criminals than
any other lawyer In New York.
The defense had money to bring
witnesses from East st. Louis and
from New England, Wilentz pointed
out.
He turned to the implications OF
guilt against Red" johnson.
RED Johnson had the unfortu-
nate experience of being fond of Betty
Cow, who had the unfortunate ex-
perience of finding it necessary to
earn a livelihood, and so 1t happens
she worked In the Lindbergh home.
"And so Red johnson, because he
knew her, and because he talked to
her on the telephone the day Of the
crime, or the day before the crime,
was apprehended."
johnson had gone back to Europe
he pointed out, only after . thorough
investigation Of his bank accounts, his
family and activities.
Red Johnson, said Wilentz, had long
since been exonerated of any con-
nection with the case.
mo one accuses Red johnson OF
anything in this case. except defense
counsel, and that means nothing" he
said.
Referring to the defense criticism
that he spent State funds to bring tc
this country Fisch's relatives and the
nurse who attended him on his last
illness, Wilentz said 1t was not neces.
sary to bring them to this country
but he wished to have them ready to
meet any defense attack.
Feared Defense
Would Claim Confession.
IF did not bring over that nurse
I knew one of those ex-convicts, one
of those idiots would pop up on the
witness stand and say Isador Eisch
confessed the Lindbergh kidnapping or
his death bed" he declared.
Speaking in confidential tone. sit
ting on the edge Of the table, Wilentz
said:
80 brought the nurse at no great
expense, to meet any charge of q
deathbed confession"
Miss Hanna Fisch was put on the
stand. ne said, just to show what
Fisch's family was like.
Betty Cow, he said, swinging the
discussion to the baby's nurse. had
been brought at the States expense
from Scotland-"a $12-a-week maid. ,
After her arrival in this country, hi
went on, all talk OF her guilt ceased.
The defendant, he pointed out, de-
clared his innocence, but resisted re.
moval to New Jersey for trial.
Compare that with Betty Cow" hi
urged.
Col. Lindbergh and Mrs. Morrow
had not been entirely spared" BY
Reilly, Wilentz went on.
HE didn't call them liars" Wilenti
said, but he said they might be mis-
taken"

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
STATE SEEKS
VETERANS OF
BORDER ARMY
5000 to Receive Benefits
Enjoyed by Soldiers of
Other Wars.

Six pretty Federal Emergency Re-
lief Administration stenographers
are digging these days into dusty
files of company records and enlist
ment papers seeking to make out a
complete list of all Indiana men who
chased Pancho Villa in the border
campaign of 1916-1917.
Until the last session of the Cen
eral Assembly, these soldiers, who
ate alkai dust and boiled under the
sun of the Mexican border, had been
the forgotten men" of Indiana mill
tary history. A few weeks ago, the
legislators passed an act extending
to these 5000 men all the privileges
enjoyed by veterans of other wars.
During the confusion of the World
War, many of the records of the
1917 campaign were scattered. Now,
these girls are trying to straighten
them all out. They hope to have
the survey completed before the spe-
cial session of the Legislature in or
der that bill can be introduced
for appropriations to cover the cost
of printing and binding the records.
Complete List to Be Printed
Memories of old soldiers, it is
said, are VIGOROUSLY long, but they
are also apt to be slightly inaccurate
1t is also a known fact that, in the
army, privateS address their superb
ors as Sir" but have other names
for them which they use at informal
gatherings at barracks.
For this reason, copies of the
printed record will be filed in the
Indiana State Library and distribut-
ed to each library in the state if the
appropriations are made. Old wagon
soldiers" and dough boys" can then
go to these files and find out what
their sergeants name really was.
So far as is known, 1894 enlisted
men and 229 officers from Indiana
served on the border. They COM
prised one battalion Of artillery
three infantry companies, two field
hospitals, two ambulance companies,
one signal company and one SAM
tary company.
Association Meeting Set
The present commander of the In
diana National Guard, Brig. Gen.
Robert Tyndall, was a major in
command of Indiana artillery bat
talon that saw service in Texas.
An effort is being made to have
men who served in the campaign
wear the green and orange service
ribbon. When the survey is COM
pleted, it will be possible to COM
municate with them.
Francis M. Van Natter, a color
sergeant, who later served in the
secret service during the World War,
has organized a Mexican Border
Veterans Association which will
meet May at FIT. Harrison.

 John Shell died while back in his cabin ur in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Tennessee. Con- siderable publicity resulted, due to the fact that the old man claimed he had attained the age oi l21 years.

We live in deeds not years We live in thought feeling ex- perience and achievement. Most of the people you know, still young have lived incomparably longer than did old John Shell, drowsing through the monotonous years-through the suns of summer and he snows of winter-in his hide-away on the Blue Ridge while busy world passed him by.
