Swat En-
Cold Kills Outdoor Flies
But You Must Stay
Those Indoors.

IT'S too early to take down
Il window screens yet, because
the chief reason for window
screens is still at large and will
come in.
The reason" is the house fly,
which should be dead at this time
of the year, but isn't due to the
fact that there has been INSULT
Gent freezing weather.
When a househy gets indoors in
the fall he almost never ventures
out again and he'll hang around
the house until he is killed. If
he is not killed he will be there in
the spring, fall in love all over
again, and produce enough chill
dren and grandchildren to make
you miserable.
Normally fond of each other,
two flies can breed in one season
enough flies to cover the entire
earth's surface to the depth Of
seven inches, but this never has
happened.
Frank Wallace, state entomolo-
gist, says that a good smacking
cold day will kill all those outside,
but you've got to take care of
those indoors.

DOCTOR ADMITS
MERCY KILLING
48 YEARS AGO
Veteran New Highlander
Vows He Would Do It
Over Again.


BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Nov. 20
A 79year-old physician who learned
his medicine under Oliver Wendell
Holmes. joined an international de-
bate on mercy Sayings today by
confessing he killed an incurable
patient 10 years ago and would do
it again.
He said he thought physicians are
hypocritical in public disapproval
of mercy killings" because he IS
convinced private sentiment in the
profession condones them in many
cases.
The doctor who thus behttled
public utterances of leaders of his
profession and threw overheard
centuries old oath of Aesculapas is
DR.. M A Warmer, Harvard grad
uate and member of the Bridge
port Medical Society.
Il was just three years out of Har-
ward" DR.. Warmer said when an
emergency call put me up against
this problem everybody is dis
cussing.
A big strapping Frenchman, a
barber, accidentally had shot him
self in the face with a shotgun.
His face was torn off from chin to
eyes and pellets of shot were lodged
in his brain. If he had survived he
would have been dangerous
maniac
L talked the case over with his
wife and his brother They told me
to do what I thought was right. I
gave the patient an extra dose of
morphine. He was raving and later
lapsad into a coma and died.
Il have never been troubled by
conscience in the intervening is
years and would do the same thing

body take care of my mother; I
don't care so much about myself"
Mother Collapses
Mrs. Maxwell, still under indict-
ment as accessory to the murder,
tainted and was carried from the
courtroom by her son, Earl.
In the crowd inside and outside
there was an atmosphere of salts
faction-a feeling that justice had
been done and that a lesson had
been taught to girls who become
"outlanders" and then come home
to the hills and want to live by the
code of the outside world
It's a lesson in what's sinful, all
right" said one stopped old man.
His companion nodded.
"Trigg Maxwell was a-doin' right
when Edith hit him." the second
man agreed.
On Trial Two Days
For two days, Edith had heard
her relatives give evidence both for
and against her. The common
wealth had tried to picture her as
girl gay and careless in her rela-
tons with men; the defense at
tempted to convince the jury she
did nothing more than exercise
her Godgiven right of self-de-
Tense" when she picked up a shoe
and battered Trigg Maxwell's head
until he had wounds from which he
died.
The mountaineer jury received
the case a few hours after Edith,
sobbing and lapsing into the hill
folks dialect which she had learned
to forget in the outside world, told
how her "Pappy" chased her into
the kitchen in an attempt to whip
her for staying out with Raymond
Meade, boy friend.
"Pappy, Don't You Cut Me"
There was a butcher knife ally
ing on the table and he grabbed
it and yelled, 'Pappy, don't you cut
me- He grabbed my by the hair of
the head and kept pulling me on
toward the kitchen. 1t hurt"
The girl described a fierce strug-
gle during which her father was
a-yelling he was going to kill me-"
II felt something against my
back and I reached around for it,"
she sobbed, dabbing her eyes with
handkerchief. 1T was a shoe 1t
used to be my shoe, but I gave 'em
to mama. 1 had to do something,
so I grabbed the shoe and hit him.
I don't know how many times :"
Her Tale Stands
Commonwealth attorneys couldn't
shake the girls story Little Mary
Catherine, too, Edith's 11-year-old
sister whose legs dangled from the
witness stand, gave as good as she
got from the prosecution. Pressed at
one point because she couldn't re-
member the detail where the butch
er knife was and what clothing her
father wore, the child leaned for
ward and yelled:
And you wouldn't remember so
good either if you had been as
scared as I was that night with
Pappy a-yelling and Accusing and
Edith a-trying to outrun him"
It would have been possible for
the jury to have sent Edith to the
electric chair, and today it appeared
that the only reason she escaped
was that there was considerable evil
dence to show that she killed in
self-defense.

A Criminal Court jury last night
retired William (Wilie) Mason and
Edward CFoggy) Dean from lives Of
crime that were climaXed by the
machine-gun Staying Of Police Sergt.
Lester Jones, Feb. T. 1888.
Today Dean, who has been
charged by police IA times for other
offenses and has spent several
months in the county jail awaiting
trial on this one was surly and
Snappy in his cell.
Mason, always mild hammered
had nothing to say about he plans
of the pair, whose future is centered
pretty definitely at the Indiana
State Farm to which they will be
sentenced to life imprisonment Fri
day by Special Judge William H.
Remy.
Just Boys in Jail"
We're just couple of boys in
jail" said Mason who has spent
eight of his "a years in prison and
who began adult life as StenQg-
rapher but never worked seriously
at it.
Dean, who began business life
as a dog-ralser, according to police
records, was born in 1902 in Indi-
annapolis and began getting arrested
in 1921 for auto theft He has been
charged 10 times by police and sem
fenced to jail several.
On two occasions Mason and Dean
were tried on charges in connection
with the murder of Sergt. Jones
during holdup Of the Peoples Mo-
tor Coach Co., and on each the
jury disagreed
Bored, Saws Way Out
Mason became so bored with the
trial on the charge in Noblesville
that ne sawed his way out Of the
jail and was not caught until some
time later. Last night he appeared
bored when he heard the jury find
him guilty.
When they get TO the state prison
they will be near former pals who
are serving life for the same killing.
They are Fred Adams, Ernest (ReO
Giberson, and George Schwartz.
William (Willie) Mason and Ed
ward (Foggy) Dean, members of a
local bandit gang, today were guilty
Of inficting physical injury during
a robbery.
A Criminal Court jury found last
night on its first ballot that Mason
and Dean had participated in the
machine-gun Staying of Police Sergt.
Lester Jones during the Peoples Mo-
tor Coach Co. garage holdup Feb. 7,
1888.
Saved from the electric chair in
two previous trials, Mason and Dean
will join three bandit accomplices,
Fred Adams, Ernest Rcd Giberson
and George Schwartz at the Indi-
ana State Prison in serving life
sentences.
Defense counsels Clyde P. Miller
and Edward w McElfreSh said they
did not know whether they would
appeal the verdict The prisoners
accepted the juryS vote calmly.
The crime was murder, but it
has been my experience that juries
are Squeamish about sending crimi-
nails to the electric chair Prose

Authorities analysed one of the

a barrel which had not yet been
opened was found to be perfectly

The only theory investigators had
regarding origin of the poison, aside
from the possibility it may have
been mixed deliberately into the
barrels, was that the barrels had
been used previously as containers
for insecticides.
