testified that Barrett told her, IT
killed a government man who was
after me-"
Mrs. Klein also listened while Mrs.
Lethonia Forbes, Oxford, O., de-
scribed the same scene. Mrs. Forbes,
who had been spending the day with
Mrs. McDonough, testified that she
and her hostess were standing at
the curb saying goodbye, when they
heard the shots.
Listens to Killer
She just was preparing to return
to her home, she said. When they
heard the shots, she testified that
she and Mrs. McDonough ran into
the house, and later went out into
the garden where both Klein and
Barrett had fallen.
Yesterday, during cross examina-
ton, Mrs. Klein listened while
Barrett admitted that he had been
married to half a dozen different
women, and had lived as husband
and wife with two others, both of
whom bore him children.
She heard him say that, though
he had expected for more than a
year to be arrested by Federal off,
GERS for his sales of stolen cars,
which he transported from one
state to another, he had no fear of
these officers.
Barrett, Too, Misses 1t
She saw District Attorney Nolan
unwrap the wrinkled brown suit
which her husband had worn when
he was killed, and offer them to
Barrett for examination. When
Barrett refused to take the clothing
into his hands, Mrs Klein clutched
Barbara Ann closer to her.
A minute later, Mr.. Nolan held
the death gun out before Barrett.
This is the gun with which you
killed Klein?" Mr.. Nolan asked.
AS Barrett admitted it was, Mrs.
Klein wiped tears from her eyes.
The diamond on her finger glistened
again.
But George Barrett apparently
didn't notice it.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-12-07

Barrett, rather boastfully, told of
dabbling in the diamond business.
He purchased at one time, he said,
a four and a half carat diamond
from pawnbroker for 1885. He
sold it for $1,000 profit, he continued,
the suggestion of a smile playing
about his lips.
Mrs. Klein lifted a hand to her
eyes momentarily. The rays of
light caught the flicker of small
diamond on her left hand. 1t was
modest stone, evidently the en-
gagement ring given her by her
husband
On Goes the Story
Barrett went on with his story.
But few, perhaps, had caught the
traced it's faint sparkle to Barrett
tale of his $1,000 profit, Perhaps
Mrs Klein didn't either.
For one week, now, the widow of
the slain man has listened to testi-
mony in the trial. Much of that
testimony has been from the lips of
women. Much of it has been about
women.
Mrs. Klein has listened, with her
three-year-o daughter, Barbara
Ann, on her lap, while two women
testified that they saw Agent Klein
drop to the ground, a victim of the
bone-handled gun which Barrett
carried thrust inside his white shirt
on Aug. 16, 1885.
She has heard efforts being made
to introduce into the evidence,
through government counsel, that
Barrett twice has been tried, but not
convicted, for the murder of his
mother. She has heard him admit
that he did not attend either the
funeral of his mother or that of
his sister, Rachel, who is said to
have died of wounds he inflicted.
Sons Play in Building
While her two small sons, Nelson
B. Jr., 9, and Richard c.. 7, played
under the supervision Of building
| attaches, the widowed mother heard
Mrs. Emma Murphy describe the
shirt-sleeved man who shot their
father.
She listened as Mrs. Agatha Nc
Donough. middle-aged housewife Of
West College Corner, Ind. in whose
garden Agent Klein was killed, told
of removing the death gun from
Barrett's fingers, as he lay bleeding
on the ground.
She heard Mrs. McDonough test
Fly that Barrett opened the gun to
assure her that all five bullets had
been exploded. Mrs. McDonough

Santa Claus soon will be here!
Have him leave several little pa

Back in Washington, officials of the

lowing note:

barring the entire incident, includ-
ing his telegram to Mr.. Mathews Of

anything about the proposed bonus
march, except what was stated in his

ical Corps, for a number Of years

Pershing.
Col. Keller has been chief Of the
surgical service at Walter Reed for 16
years and in addition, for the past five
years, has been commanding officer
at that hospital. In this period, he
supervised extensive and intricate
treatment for a large number of vet
Grams of the World War who were
permanently crippled in addition to
the normal surgical work of the gen.
eral hospital.
Col. Keller was graduated from the
Medical College of Virginia in 1899
and served as active assistant surgeon
OF the United States Public Health
Service for one year. when he entered
the military service as contract sur
geon. He was commissioned a first
lieutenant in the Medical Corps in

HORNER TO PUSH
RELIEF TAX AGAIN
Another Effort Will Be Made
to Pass Sales Levy to
Raise Funds.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, May 16.-
Leaders of the State Democratic ad-
ministration mustered their forces to-
day for new drive to win emergency
passage Of sales tax legislation to pro-
vide relief funds despite four sue
cessive failures in the House of the
Illinois Legislature.
Still determined to put through on
an emergency basis a bill to increase
the sales tax from 2 to 3 per cent to
raise $4,000 900 a month as the States
share of the costs of caring for ,200,-
600 relief clients, Gov. Henry Horner
early today announced the new at
tempt would be made next Tuesday.
Leaders to Try Again.
The decision was announced after
long conference with Patrick A.
Nash, national Democratic commit
teeman; Mayor Edward ]. Kelly of
Chicago and other Democratic chief
tains, who came to the Governor to
form a plan Of action after yester-
days failure to win the 102 votes
necessary to pass the tax bill with its
emergency clause.
Confronted by reports that the
States relief clients are facing actual
privation, the leaders decided to try
again rather than pass the bill with
out its emergency clause Without this
clause the measure coulo not become
effective until July /.
Meanwhile, with the unofficial count
Of but 90 votes registered in favor
Of the bill in yesterdays roll call,
other developments came quickly. The
Illinois Workers Alliance issued a
call for a mass march Of the un-
employed on the State capital May

Tending the bread and beans Of our

J. Dalton Of the Blue Light Cab Co. !;
Mrs. E. Morgan Price Of the Whittier
Parent Teacher Association: Maj. o.
c. Luxford and Robert L. Porter.
Roberts Favors Present Form.
Roberts testified he favored the bill
exactly in its present form.
Representatives Quinn, Democrat. of
Pennsylvania. and Patman both ques-
toned Roberts about various features
Of the measure, and he expressed the
belief it's enactment would result in in
creased safety on the streets.
Roberts also explained there are A.
900 taxicabs in Washington, "the
largest number per capita in the
world" Patman called attention to
the $4,000 maximum liability provided
in the bill for any one judgment for
bodily injuries and remarked that this
amount would fall short of full pro-
lection.
Supported by Citizens.
unless you diminish opposition to
high amounts" Roberts declared, you
could not get passage of the bill"
Roberts told the subcommittee that
as far as he knew all the civic organi-
cations in the District, including the
Federation of Citizens Associations,
favor this type Of legislation.
Patman then suggested that motor
busses be made to comply with pro-
visions in the bill and Roberts said he
would have no objection to their in
clusion.
Patman likewise suggested that the
amount for injuries be raised to S5,-
900 and to $4,000 for total permanent
disability or death and to $1,000 for
property damage.
Not Against Higher Scale.
Roberts explained he would not op-
pose the increased scale If he could
be assured the higher amounts would
be supported.
Quinn declared, however, that rails
ing the amount for property damage
from $500, as provided in the bill, to
81 900, would contribute to "racketeer-
ing" He said he knew of cases in
Pennsylvania, where a relative of a
car owner would take the vehicle,
wreck it and then collect the insur-
ance.
When Roberts completed his testi-
mony the hearing was abruptly ad-
journed until 10 am. tomorrow. An
early session of the House caused the
adjournment.
