"A Co. bus driver and a Capital

the day for the passengers of both the
other morning when the big ice sheet
played hob with traffic. The BUS
bound for Forest Glen, stalled on the
ice at Fourteenth street and Colorado
avenue.
Trying to pull away from the East
curb into Kennedy street, the bus
driver made exactly no progress. HIS
rear wheels spun madly and motor ana
gears whined. Time and again ne
tried and the net result of his efforts
was a sideways trip onto the street car
track. A Takoma- bound street car
pulled up behind him and the motor
man, after stamping on his gong a
few times, settled back to await de-
velopments.
The bus could go sideways and it
could 60 backward. but it couldn't go
ahead. Matters reached deadlock.
The bus couldn't get out of the way
and the street car was tied up. So the
bus driver climbed out and came back
to the motorman.
IF you'll give me some of your sand,
he said, I'll get my bus off your track. V
The deal was made, the deadlock
was broken and life went on.

; henchman, as the actual killer Of
Roam. He said that Kelsey Nor.
riSon, a "Squaw man." was the
murderer Of Anna Brown. He
admitted that it was he who had
place the nitroglycerin under the
window Of the Smith home,
though Ace Kirby had helped him
Ramsey, cattle rustler and Texas
bad man, confessed that he had
piled Roam with liquor with the
Intention Of killing him. He didn't
know the Indians name at the
time, he said, adding that Hale
had pointed him out on the street
one night as the Indian he wanted
killed. Hale had given him q
$500 automobile as part payment
on the murder, Ramsey told G.
Men, and $1,000 cash after it had
been completed. He said he took
the Indian out several times, os.
tensibly to get him drunk, but
actually to murder him, but lost
his nerve. After the fifth time
he persuaded Roam to drive to a
lonely spot and shot him in the
back of the head.
Life Terms
Ramsey was tried and convicted
of this crime and sentenced to life
imprisonment.
Kelsey Morrison confessed he
had murdered Anna Brown with
the assistance Of Bryant Burkhart,
younger brother Of Ernest, His
was the same story Of getting the
Indian woman drunk and then
shooting her in the back Of the
head as Burkhart held her. The
.32-caliber revolver used in the
killing he obtained from Hale, Nor
riSon said.
However, what Morrison did not
know was that Hale had planned
to kill his Indian wife, Katherine
Cole, and then Morrison himself.
Hale had also decided to persuade
Ernest to kill his Indian wife, Mol
lie, sister of Anna Brown, for her
head rights, and then, if neces-
sary, Hale was going to murder
Ernest.
Morrison received a life SEN
tence for his part in the murder
Of Anna Brown. Bryant Burkhart,
by turning states evidence, was
released.
Ernest Burkhart was sentenced
to life imprisonment for the muir
der Of the Smith family.
Hale, tried four times for the
murders, was finally convicted
and sentenced to life imprison-
ment.
And so, after four years of I'M
remitting toll and hardship, the

Henriette, who had even adopted
the squaw'S tribal costume, could
be seen talking to the young braves
apparently obliviouS to people OF
her own race.
Instead of combining her investi-
gative work to the women and
children, the girl apparently i'm
bued with the romantic type OF
literature concerning Indians and
Indian customs. had diSregarded
what might well be considered or
binary precautions and associ-
ated almost wholly with young
male Indians.
She made solitary excursions to
their camps, attended tribal dances
alone and unprotected, in some
instances remaining all night, and
had even gone so far as to delve
into secret Indian customs never
disclosed to the white man.
Once in her eagerneSs to fathom
the mysteries Of tribal rites, she
concealed herself in the Indian
camp and remained there until
daylight, when the barking of the
dogs caused the Apaches to inveS-
tigate. They found her hiding be-
hind a tree, barefooted, her shoes
in her hands. Surprisingly enough
the Apaches didn't resent her pres
ence, but invited her to. breakfast.
On July Z the girl attended a
large Indian dance several miles
from the camp. Her partners were
Indian braves, and she remained
until 2::30 in the morning.
In Costume
The Indians had arranged for
another tribal dance on July 10,
and Miss SCHNEIDER planned to
attend in full squaw'S costume
She ordered an Indian dress from
a half-breed girl and even Dor
rowed her beads. She asked one
Claude Gilbert, a young married
Apache, to take her to the dance
at Canyon Day, seven miles from
her camp, but Claude'S squaw re-
fused to allow him to go.
Several Indians remembered see
ing the girl standing on the porch
of her home talking to q young
brave mounted on horseback. That
was the last anybody saw Of her
until her body was found two days
later in the canyon.

DiSmounting, VelaSqueZ picked
them up. He knew to whom they
belonged, and he wasn't surprised
when a flock of buzzards circled
overhead and then glided down to
Q little canyon short distance
away. He knew too what to eX-
pect when he reached that can
yon.
Lying flat on her back in a
small gulch was the body of a 23-
year-old white girl. One arm was
extended above her head and her
clothes were partly torn from her
body, which was half buried in
the sand. Her nose had been
broken, her front teeth knocked
out and long knife wound two or
three inches deep was in her neck
on the right side. Her entire body
was bruised and beaten and she
had been criminally assaulted.
Desperate Fight
About a hundred feet above the
girls body on the edge Of the lit
tie canyon were signs Of terrific
struggle. The girl had evidently
fought hard for her honor and in
so doing had lost her life.
AS VelaSquez stared down at the
bloated features he remembered
that it was only a brief month
since the girl, a student of
anthropology at Columbia Univer-
sity, New York city, had come to
the Apache reservation to study
its people and their customs.
He had warned Henriette
Schmerler about living alone
among the Indians but she refused
to listen. Intelligent and attractive,
the young woman had been Sc
lected by the faculty to do field
research work among the Apache
Indians OF Arizona during the sum-
mer.
Obsessed with the theory that
the only way to learn Indian GUS
toms was to ''be an Indian" Miss
Schmerler had insisted upon liv-
ing alone in one Of the small
houses built by the Government
for the IndianS-houses which
they seldom uSed-inStead of with
the white teachers at the agency.
The house was situated about a
half mile from the white farmers
place and just across the road
from the Indian camps.

Despite the tangled web Of lies
and misleading clues, Omen were
slowly but surely tightening the
net around Hale and his aSso
ciateS. They sent for one of
Hale'S employees, "Ace" Kirby,
suspected Of placing the nitro.
glycerine under Smiths window.
But "Ace," on the suggestion of
Hale, as agents later learned, de.
cided the time was ripe for a rob.
berry. He selected a grocery store
on the Kansas Oklahoma border
after being informed the owner
would not be around to interfere.
Unfortunately for "Ace," the
owner was very much around and
as "the burglar climbed through
the store window he let him have

shot. So another important wit.
ness was wiped out-just like
that!
During the course Of their in.
vestigation special agents learned
that one Blackie Thompson, a
bank robber from Usage county
temporarily detained at the Okla
homa State Penitentiary, knew
something of Hale's activities.
They had spent many weary
hours of investigation on a tip

friend Of Hale's who had "con-

served to strengthen Hale's alibiS,
but they decided to talk to Thomp-
son anyway.
Thompson limited that Ernest
Burkhart, Hale's nephew, ''knew
plenty" about the murders Of
Anna Brown and Henry Roam.
And then the weak link in Hale's
chain broke. Ernest "Squealed."
He admitted implication in all
the murders, including those of
the Brown woman, Roam and the
Smith family at the instigation
Of 4lale. He apparently felt no
remorse nor did he seem to feel
he had done anything unusual.
