forts to break down her story
she had killed her partner, Mrs.
Edith Mae Cummings, in Self-de-

DETROIT, Jan. II 0.N.S0.
Authorities today planned a lie
detector test for Mrs. Julia
Barker, one-time millionaire real
estate broker, in an attempt to
break down her story that she
killed her partner, Mrs. Edith
Mae Cummings, in self-defense.
Mrs. Barker, described as "cold
as a cube of ice." offered to take
the lie test, and Prosecutor Dun
can C. McCrea announced author
tiles were making arrangements
to submit her to one as soon as
possible.
SCOFFS AT CLAIM
Chief Assistant Prosecutor Will
liam Dowling scoffed at the claim
of Mrs. Barker that she killed
Mrs. Cummings, also one-time
millionaire real estate operator,
in self-defense.
"There is no doubt that Mrs.
Barker killed Mrs. Cummings
and that she planned every de-
tail of the crime in advance"
Bowling declared. "The cir
cumstances of the crime make
Mrs. Barker's story ridiculous.
She can't talk her way out of
this.
MRS. Barker must have
forced Mrs. Cummings out of
the car into the field where she
was killed with q gun. 1t is
our theory Mrs. Barker was
taking her out to kill her. We
believe Mrs. Cummings had
ertain papers which Mrs.
Barker had signed generating
Mrs. Cummings in the Ken
lucky land swindle.
"We know that Mrs. Barker
built a fire shortly after the
killing and burned some papers.
We think Mrs. Barker obtained
them from Mrs. Cummings at
the point of a gun"
