This fascinated the young farm
youth. No doubt that is why after
taking a short business college
course. he managed to get a job
of bookkeeper and Stenographer
with a garage and tire vulcaniz-

no doubt that is why, when he had
saved up five dollars, he thought
right away of going into some
phase of the automobile BUSINESS
for himself.

POISON KILLING
OF BROTHER
ADMITTED

MKHART, Ind. Nov. 6 Q.N.S0.
The mark of Cain was upon him
as he lolled in his cell today, but
34-year-old Lester B. Slack seemed
nonchalant enough as he con-
fessed the poison toast" Staying
of his brother.
He killed Elgy Slack, the happy
go-lucky brother four years older
than he, Lester confessed, accord
ing to police, by slipping a lethal
potion in his wine. He did it, Les
ter said. to collect two $500 inSur-
ance policies in which his elder
brother had named him benefi-
ciary.
The money was sought by Lester
to finance wedding trip with
Mrs. Helen Kercheval, 34-year-old
divorce.
The plan of the Mishawaka
painter was to enjoy honeymoon
in a trailer-supplying the funds
from the insurance Of his brother.
But Helen will never wear the SO
wedding dress she had bought for
her great event. Instead, she was
unconsolable today in her grief.
Not so Lester. He sat cheerfully
enough in the Elkhart Jail, read
ing lurid magazine stories to his
cellmate, Negro held for drunken
driving. Said Lester:
"NOpe. Elgy never did me
wrong. Yeah, he was a good
brother to me. Sure, we played
together. But needed the
dough-"
Lester was off.hand about his
crime until it was revealed to him
that States Attorney Glen r.
Sawyer planned to ask Judge Or
rim M. Conley to call the grand
jury next week to indict him on
a charge of first-degree murder.
Then beads of perspiration
stood on his forehead. He made
a feeble effort to recover his
poise. He said:
Eyes, I'm familiar with that
kind of poison. I used it to kill
rats and SparrOwS. Of course,
I'm sorry now. Don't guess 1
could have done it had our
mother been alive"
