CHICAGO, Nov. IL G.N.S0.
Put on the wrong track by negh-
borhood gossip, the thieving slayer
of Mrs. Bertha de Meyer, reported
"miser," Melted only a few pennies,
police said today.
BOND OVERLOOKED
The twice divorced recluse, who
had been on relief for several years,
was found choked to death yeSter-
day and her squalid apartment
ransacked. Overlooked in the
search for loot was a $1,000 build
ing bond and a 5000 stock certifi-
cate which had shrunk in value to
less than $500.
Investigators were convinced
that her only remaining wealth
was a $3.50 savings account, save
for the few pennies in her purse
the killer had emptied.
RUMOR OF FORTUNE
The woman, it had been rumored
in the neighborhood, was a miser,
with a fortune hidden in her flat.
Detectives today sought the slayer
among hangers on in the district.

MAXWELL GIRL,
FACING 20 YEARS,
PACKS EFFECTS
Bid For Pardon Held
Teachers Last Hope

DREWRY'S BLUFF, Va, Nov.
12.-Edith Maxwell, 23-year-old
mountain school teacher, occupied
herself today packing her few pos
sessions, preparatory to entering
the penitentiary within the next
few days and starting a 20-year
sentence for the murder Of her
father, Trigg Maxwell.
The State Supreme Court Of APP
peals in a brief opinion handed
down yesterday refused her appeal
for a new trial, and the tWo-year
legal battle to save her from prison
ended.
MOTHERS TRIAL NEXT
Mrs. Ann Maxwell, mother OF
the teacher, is also under 1ndlct-
ment for the murder and will
probably go on trial within the
next few weeks.
Mrs. Maxwell collapsed when she
heard the high courts refusal to
grant the appeal. Edith took the
decision stoically, saying she had
"hunch" that she would lose.
She seemed more concerned
over having to return to Wise,
the mountain community where
she was born and taught school
before the killing, than over 60
ing to prison, explaining that her
former friends would laugh and
jeer" at her.
PARDON SOUGHT
Arrangements are being made
so that she can surrender at the
penitentiary in Richmond rather
than return to Wise.
Plans are under way to ask the
governor for a pardon on the
ground her conviction came from
prejudice against her.
Trigg Maxwell was killed in
July, 1885. The girl admitted
striking him over the head with
her shoe when he attempted to
beat her when she came home late
from a party.

 If the power which the National Labor Relations Board now seeks to assert through the subpoena directed to the Conover.Mast corporation and MT.

 T do not approve of system that curtails production when we have as many hungry people as we have today, but I do believe that as long as the farmer has to sell in q world market he is entitled to the same protection the govern- inent has given to industry for the last 100 years.
 The mayor criticized the supreme courts inValidation of the NRA and took issue with Clifford for what he termed the latters "too optiin- istic view of the ease with which social reforms could be accom- plished under existing conditions"
 Clifford predicted further improve ment in "the general welfare" if private enterprise Is encouraged, while F'rankfurther saw the future in terms of still greater govern mental control of private interests.
 Murphy urged labor to settle dis. putes by peaceful bargaining and to abandon sit-down strikes. Of nnan- agement he asked that 1t treat workers as men and not as part of the production machinery.

 Tho board was informed that Bar- clay would ignore It's subpoena in an open letter from Elisha Hanson Of Washington, attorney for the editor and the ConoVer-Mast Publishing Go. The subpoena, Hanson said, vi- plated constitutional guarantees Of freedom of the press and therefore was void. I.
 Tho article in Mill and Factory was critical of the, Weirton Steel hearings and accused the board Of bias In favor of tho Committee for Industrial Organization. The article described the hearing as c "colossal burlesque" and Q tragedy to many townspeoplc.

 Most of the (Weirton) workers expressed original opinions as to why they thought tho trial was being conducted.

 Patrolmen Anthony stango and Thomas Fibre notified headquarters of the accident shortly after mid- night and immediate police radio broadcasts warned oil cars to Do wary for the fugitive car. The DO. iiee picked up the badly battered body of tho elderly woman and placed 1t aboard 6 North East Transportation Company bus, oper. ated by Clarence Dyer, Of 100 Cole street. Patrolman John Breen, off duty at the time, assisted Dyer in taking the woman to tho hospital.
 Gllroy Followed Car
 Francis dilroy, of l2 Spencer ave. nue, reported to police that he had been following the Mauzerol car out East Main street when the acci- dent took place. He said that Mau. Eerol had cut In sharply on him and that he had attempted to oyertake him and got lais marker numbers to report the incident to police. When the woman was struck, he said, the Mauzerol car speeded ahead and easily outdistanced him. The car Is Q new model sedan.

 Leading Up To Accident
 Following their visit with tho oth. or sister, he said he and Evelyn went to the Farmers Grill on East Main street and stayed there half an hour, drinking beer during the stay. It was here that he met James Mc0ce, according to his story.
 From the Farmers Grill, the three, Mauzerol, his sister and Mo. Geo went to The Elton, where they danced for Q short time, and then MauZerol and Mcdee started back to the Farmers Grill to get Me- Qee'S car which had been left there when he joined the MauzerolS.

 Her Fatal Injuries
 Medical Examiner Edward II. K!rschbaum made an examination of the body today. Hospital au. thorities said that the woman died of c fractured skull and c laceration of tho brain, and possible internal injuries. The hit.and-run car, which is being held for the examin. ation of the coroner, at tho police headquarters garage, shows evidence of how tho woman received her fa. tal injuries.
 The right front fender Is badly dented, indicating that the woman was first struck by this portion of the car. A post ct the right end of the windshield bears blood stains and bits of hair, and c deep dent, which evidently was caused when struck by the woman'S head.

 It appears that the woman was struck against the fender, glithered along to the windshield post, was defiocted to the right side of the car, and tossed to the ground. The right door window is shattered into tificountable pieces and slivers. Tn. dication of the force of the impact Is manifested by the fact that DOT. kiong of the window were found in
