Bird CrippIed 5 Years
Ago Welcomes Spring.

South st. Paul-John Marthaler
opined last week that spring has Off
cially returned. So has the one-legged
robin that has nested in tree on his
lot for the last five years. The robin
has history all intimately connected
with the Marthaler family. Mr.. Mar
thaler found the bird caught by the
leg five years ago. A string used in
neSt-building had become tangled
around the robins leg and when it was
freed the leg sloughed off. Each year
since that time the one-legged robin
has returned to its nest. It balances
on its one leg by bracing it's wing tip
against the branch or the ground.
It's activities have been watched with
interest year after year until it has
become the final sign of spring at the
Marthalers. When the bird returned
this year it found another robin re-
making its 1886 nest. Crippled or not,
the old robin ousted the interloper and
maintained its right to the nest which
is being prepared for the 1897 family.

BY MARJORIE ELLIS McCRADY
Fashions Editor Of
THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL


Minneapolis, May 20-The arrival of
warm weather has sent everyone
scurrying for summer clothes. Again
and again we are asked the question,
what should we have in our summer
wardrobe how should we select it..
and can it be sufficient but inexpensive
too? One at time we will answer all
phases of the question.
First, let's see what you need. You
need Stacks and shirt. You need one
white dress in pique, acetate or rough
cotton that is of the spectator sports
type and suitable for general town and
country wear, shopping, etc. You need
one jacketed print dress of the so-called
trick type. BY trick we mean it has a
changeable neckline, sleeves that drape
in several ways and an apron that be-
comes a cape if you so wish. This will
take care of all afternoon and informal
evening occasions. If you are certain
there will be summer dances to attend,
then you need one more costume -.
a double duty dinner dress or lace, net
marquisette, printed crepe or organza.
This dress has a short jacket with
sleeves that hide the strictly formal top
of the dress. 1t is called double duty
because it is dinner dress and a
formal when the jacket is removed.
Add bathing suit and you have a
summer wardrobe that will take YOU
correctly wherever you go.
AS to how you should select it
first remember to choose one basic color
and build your entire wardrobe on it.

FLED FROM KILLER

Thomas McNutt, Mrs. Sea-
brease'S chauffeur, drove with
Miss Griffin to Philadelphia Hos
pital, then accompanied detectives
to the Carpenter home.
AL autopsy by DR.. John F. Simp-
son, coroner's physician, disclosed
Mrs. Carpenter was fleeing from
the killer when the second bullet
struck her in the shoulder. The
first lodged in the brain at the
base. Police were incluined to the
belief that Mrs. Carpenter was
shot when she moved to help Miss
Griffin.
Before the youth broke into the
Carpenter house, police learned, he
panhandled a meal at the Sea,
brease residence. Police believe he
went directly to the other house,
entered through a rear window and
went to the basement recreation
room, where he smoked and drank
liquor which he selected from the
bar.

FALLS CITY, Neb., Dec. IA
tC.TPS0.-Fifteen residents of
Falls City, who invested in a
wyoming oil company years ago,
learned today their investment
will not be a total loss.
The defunct company is being
liquidated and the pro rata dis
tribution to stockholders amounts
to $.O00SS7 for each 81 invested.
Thus, those who invested 500 will
receive a check for three cents

be eight mills on each 500.

yesterday.
The front door had hardly
closed behind them, she said, when
the killer emerged from a room,
gun in hand. Mrs. Carpenter said
quietly:
"Weu give you anything you
want" and opened her purse.
SEEMED POLITE
"He seemed extremely polite
at first" explained Miss Griffin.
"He said all he wanted was
money and he wouldn't hurt U.s.,
We gave him all we had. It
wasn't much-Several dollars
but he seemed satisfied and told
us to go upstairs into the master
bedroom.
He followed us with the gun,
which he stole from a holster in
Mrs. Carpenters bedroom. There
was a length of rope on the bed.
He told me to lie down and or
dered Mrs. Carpenter to tie my
hands"
Miss Griffin said she received
a stunning blow on the head for
attempting to move while the
bandit was binding her feet.

scream. Then heard three
shots and I don't remember any
thing else for a time"
After the maniac had fled, the
young woman unloosed her bonds,

calmly taking a bath.
BATTLES HER HEAD
After he had finished he un-
loosed her bonds and led her to
the bathroom where he carefully
bathed her bruised head. Then
he retied her to the bed and left.
AS soon as she could free her
self, Miss Griffin ran to a neigh
boring estate for help.
Police learned that the chauf-
feur for a neighbor had given a
ride to the Camp Hill railroad
station nearby to a youth who
hailed him as he passed the Car
penter home at about the time
the murderer left.
Theory that the slayer was a
maniac was based on his conduct
and on Miss Griffin's report that
he wore underwear of the type
usually seen only in hospitals and
institutions.
