FATHER BARES
INSANE KIN TO
HELP MATHERS
Brother Died in Asylum, He
Says; AIieniStS to
Take Stand.

BIZ United Press
LEBANON, Ind. April 17.-Com-
pletion Of direct evidence in the
murder trial Of Theodore Mathers
81. charged with Staying the Rev
Gaylord V. Saunders. Wabash, was
scheduled in Boone Circuit Court to-
day.
Defense attorneys planned to rest
their case at noon.
II was doubted that the case
would reach the jury this week.
however, since each side is prepared
to introduce lengthy testimony by
siienists regarding the youths in
sanity plea.
Joseph E Mathers. So, father of
the defendant. said there is insanity
in the family. His brother, Andrew.
died in the Evansville Insane Hos
pital and another distant relative
now is a patient there. he said.
Says Pastor Was Insane
Saunders became insane about
three months before the Staying,
his foster-father, William D Haines,
30. yorktown. testified. He said
Saunders developed a vicious temper
and his sermons became "a general
talk on nothing"
Mathers was released from the
witness stand after reiterating under
cross-examination that his mind was
blank at the time of the Staying.
I'VE scuffled and Saunders choked
me. Everything went black and the
next thing I remember was when I
heard a shot" he said.
Il don't even remember having
gun with me that night. I suppose
I killed him I don't know. They
told me I did"
Confession Is Repudiated
He repudiated a confession given
police when he was arrested at
Wabash after the shooting.
Il never told any one that killed
him." Mathers said.
The confession, admitted as evil
dence. relates that Mathers was
given $40 by Mrs. Neoma Saunders,
widow of the pastor, to buy gun.
Mrs. Saunders was acquitted on an
insanity plea here last December.
The state contends that Mathers
and the widow planned the Staying
because of an illicit love affair.
Saunders and Mathers were ROOM
mates in Indianapolis when the
Staying occurred Feb. 2, 1884

From the Principals Office

The prevalence of disease in our
school community, along with the
condition of roads in OUTLYING dis
tricts, has served to lower the at
tendance in the various class rooms
during the past two months. The
approaching completion of another
school year make it imperative
that students attend regularly if
they hope to pass.
We have just completed a sec
ond group of the Columbia
Achievement Test. While the final
reports are not as yet in the Office
preliminary replies seem to show
that our medians compare favor
ably with National norms in these
tests. These tests are really a
battery of tests in mathematics
computations and reasoning, Eng
lish, Social Science, History, Geo
graphy, Spelling and Vocablury.
Their results can well be EMPLOYED
by teachers in diagnosing funda-
mental mistakes that can be cor
rected in the class rooms.

A Busy Day

House cleaning had just begun
Everyone hurrying about the house
doing this and that.
I just started mopping, when the
telephone rang. Hello, is that you
Betty? Yes, I'm doing my spring
house cleaning. I think I'll be too
tired to play cards. See you some
other time; goodbye. / then start
my mopping again when the door
bell rings. Why does every one
bother me when I'm cleaning.
Good morning Mrs. Johnson.
Won't you come in? I'm right in
the midst of house cleaning You'll
have to excuse the rooms. No, I
haven't been to the movies lately.
Sorry, you can't tarry long. Stop
in aagin real soon. Back at my
mopping again. At last I finish
and begin to sweep when the tele-
phone rings. Hello, no this isn't
Mrs. Brown. Sorry but you have
the wrong number.
ALI day long une telephone, and
the dor bell kept ringing. Either
a salesman or some one telling me
the news or trying to find our
news.
\ At last after running to first one
thing and then another my clean
ing was done.
Too tired to go to the movies,
too tired to talk, and too tired to
sleep. What a tiresome job house
cleaning is.
4 Folks, here is some advice Cut
your telephone wires and discon-
meet your wires from the door bell
Put a sign up saying Measles or
Chicken Pox or Away for the
Week. Call again. Then you
won't be half so tired from running
to the telephone or door bell

ground behind the house that had
come from under the boards from

Dad saw one go across the rafters
in the chicken house and we could
also see, when they went around
the roof rafters, a semicircle where
their tails swung around. After
he got farther along the house he
saw one jump out Of a feed box
and go through a partition next to
the wall and then up a ventilator.
I'm an early bird, you think
Well, Dad told me all this; | was
in bed.
After he told me this 1 set traps
where I thought the rat might
travel, and then nights Dad and
would go out to the house and gun
for them after he turned the lights
on in the house.

We got along right we'll for a few
nights and then the rats got wise
They learned where the traps were
