GIRL BEATEN,
SHAW IS HELD
Victim of Alleged Attack
Described by Police as
Lawyers Sweetheart.

Attorney Lawrence Shaw, 43, Sc
vile Apartments, was arrested today
by police on charges of having last
night severely beaten pretty "a
year-old Virginia Dunn, Barton
Hotel, a former deputy collector in
the Office of the United States Col
lector of Internal Revenue here.
He was charged also with having
beaten Miss Dunn's male escort.
Hospital attendants said the girls
companion had a bad cut on his
head and that the girl was badly
bruised. Interviewed by The In
dianapolis Times today, Miss Dunn
said she suffered severe bruises. She
said she supposed Mr.. Shaw was
jealous of her and said he had fol-
lowed her and her friend in their
car for 10 blocks until they had to
stop for a traffic light at Illinois and
Westinghouse.
Whereupon, she said, Mr.. Shaw
jumped from his car, opened the
door Of theirs, and began to beat
them. Miss Dunn said she had
known Mr.. Shaw several years ago
and that he had repeatedly threat
ened her for seeing other men.
At the time of the arrest, police
quoted Mr.. Shaw as having said he
had repeatedly warned the girls
companion to stay away from my
sweetheart"
This morning Attorney Lawrence
Shaw denied to The Times that he
had taken part in the affair and
insisted another man having or
using the same name must have
been involved.
Miss Dunn said, however, that
the man who last night beat her and
whose name she said was Lawrence
Shaw. had been an attorney the
last time she knew about it. Mr..
Shaw was to appear in Municipal
Court on charge of assault and
battery this afternoon.

agreement between the Board and
the Indianapolis Asylum for Friend
less Colored Children. Mr.. Clarke
retired Jan. l after serving three
years.
The suit for collection of property
and money the commissioners say
is due the county will be on the
basis of a contract signed by the
board with the Asylum in 1922
This contract was previously at
tackled in court, the contract with
Mr.. Clarke says, and, in March,
1929, a decree was handed down in
the Circuit Court of Hancock
County by agreement of the
parties"
The commissioners in the contract
say that attorney Clarke has ad-
viSed them that the decree is in
valid and the commissioners say
they have incontrovertible proof
that the county is owed vast sums
of money" by the Asylum. These
they estimate to be $4,000.
The commissioners say that be-
cause of the tangled record of the
case, it was deemed by them wise
to employ some one who is familiar
with the case. They said that Mr..
Clarke has advised them that action
should be taken.
For three years, jhe contract
points out, attorney Clarke worked
to make himself familiar with the
details of the case while he was
county attorney. The commissioners
feel that he, therefore, is qualified
to handle the case.
The contract is so worded as to
infer that the present county attor-
ney, John Under, would be in no
position to take the suit, although
he is appointed for and paid to do
the legal work of. the commissioners
as a board.
The contract is signed by Dow
Vorhies, john S. Newhouse and
Ernest Marker, Marion County
Commissioners, and by attorney
Clarke.

failed to provide any basis for ne
gotiation on European ornaments

1t seemed that the Sir John ST.
mon-Adolf Hitler meeting was mega
tive except that each knew what
the other thought.
A disturbing report of German
demands was published today by
The Daily Telegraphs special Ber-
lin correspondent, who has been
closest to the British delegation. He
summarized demands as:
1. Equal air force with Britain
and France, the mutual level to be
based on Russia's air strength.
2. A navy of 100000 tons, which is
one-third of Britain's.
3. Reunion of Germany proper
with East Prussia by elimination of
the Polish Corridor to the sea.
4. A declaration that Germany
eastern frontier was not to be con-
sidered as permanent.
5. REIMBURSEMENT of the Czecho-
slovakian frontier so as to return
100000 Germans to the fatherland
6. Economic union with Austria.
7. All treaty restrictions to be re-
moved and Germany to take place,
free and unfettered, among the
powers.
8. Russias great army to be split
into eastern and western armies so
that not more than 100000 men
would be maintained in European
Russia.
This program would antagonize
Britain and enrage France, Italy,
Austria, Poland, Czechoslovakia,
Russia, Rumania and YugoSlavia.
