countryside Of northern Indiana

carried across the Indiana Sum-
mer night 10 an audience OF
fiop-eared, unappreciative cot

A mile and a half from the
Notre Dame farms, Adolph
Stopper. the driver. noted the
deep purple shadow OF stalled

of the night.
In the best road tradition Of
the Midwest, he braked his
automobile easily TO a halt 10

assistance. A bulky. broad
shoul dered sinister figure
stepped into view. Without
uttsring a sound, the ghostly
form raised its right hand,
pointed a pistol at the window
and deliberately fired six shots
in rapid succession into Stop

Then the figure melted into
the shadows.
The astonished driver was
aroused 10 action by the noise
OF the tearing slugs ripping
their way through the sedan.

toward his sweetheart for just
a split second-the & ance

down her dress.
Hold her, CharlIe--hold her

This building is remarkable
for its Renaissance entrance. an
example Of classic, fifteenth CEN
fury architecture so superb that
its origin is doubtless Italian.
The supposition is that two or
three centuries after completion
of the original monastery
which was begun in 1185--the
entrance was superimposed on

Gets 8 Months
For Car Stealing

Then II appears, he violated
his California parole and headed
for Indiana where his next
tangle with the authorities took
place in April. 1885, when he
was arrested on a federal charge
of car stealing. At that time he
was confined for eight months
in South Bend Jail because the
car was stolen in st. Joseph
County.
But McCarty proved himself
10 be so smooth and learned. and
so greatly impressed the authori-
ties, that they interceded for
him and asked Federal Court TO
place him on probation.
Every one who came In con-
tact with this man. it-seems. did
everything possible to help him
90 straight. And now they were
TO learn how smooth and elusive
he really was. Months went by
without the slightest trace OF
the elusive law breaker. At no
time did the local, state or fed
eral officers slacken their search
for the wanted man. Their de-
termination to apprehend him
strengthened rather than weak
ened with the passage of time.
So so IL was that on Thurs
day afternoon. Jan. 5, 1889,
Sheriff Hosinski, Deputy Brugg-
ner and State Officers Ray
Dickinson and Don Woodward
drove from South Bend to
Mishawaka TO trace an alcohol
runner. The four officers cruised
about the vicinity of Misha-
waka that afternoon without
finding their man. Finally they
drove into the heart Ok the town
to check the license numbers on
parked cars,

With a shrug. the would-be
gunman surrendered. He wheeled
about TO face the officers. sheer
ing sarcastically. A sharp ex-
clamation broke from the lips
OF Sheriff Hosinski, who ran up
10 join the group.
This man Is Lawrence Nc
Carly"
Local, state and federal Off
GERS were convinced without
shadow of a doubt that Nc
Carly killed Melba Moore, and
they all concurred that the ends
of Justice would be served best
if he were compelled 10 serve
his original sentence because he
could never legally be paroled
again.

Neither OF the girls could throw
any light on the subject, and
additional questioning OF the
boys that night and the follow
ing morning failed 10 produce
any further information.
Sheriff Hosinski issued an ap-
peal for public cooperation in
the hunt.

His office was almost immedi-
ately flooded with a deluge Of
transformation.
And then came his first break.
Mrs. Csrmelita Hawkins was
announced. She sank into
chair and began hesitantly:
'-Sherif. read about that
murder out on Bittersweet
road"
Hosinski nodded quietly and
waited. The young, attractive
woman said nothing more for a
moment. then:
"Sherih-the shot that killed
Melba Moore was really meant

ceived her startling announce

Somehow he learned that I
had discovered his illegal ac-
tivities and from then on he
ruled my life; forced me 10
reveal my every move; threat
ened me constantly; and 1 lived

At this point the detective In
terrupted 10 remark that 1t
seemed strange 10 him that Mrs.
Hawkins had tolerated McCar-
tvs domination: but she insisted
she had been afraid to turn him
in TO the authorities lest he
make good his vicious threats.
Mrs. Hawkins, you say You
believe the bullet that ended
Miss MOore's life was meant for
you. Why: the sheriff asked
suddenly. aside from your gen
eral fear OF this man Is there a
more definite reason ."
"Yes." she answered. 'T have

A True
Detective
Story

year-old McCarty was wanted
as a parole violator by federal
agents for failure TO make
monthly parole reports, and so
the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton spread its nets for him.
Next the detectives learned
that, when only 19, McCarty had
slain a taxi driver in a California
robbery. The man had been sp-
pretended and convicted OF first
degree murder at Redwood, Cal,
in November, 1919. A life sem
tence was melted out TO him TO
be served in San Quentin Prison,
where he served IS years OF this
sentence and was paroled on
June %, 1884.
His excellent record at that
institution showed that McCarty
had spent his time in the study
OF law-and undoubtedly his in
tense interest in this subject had
stood him in good stead when he
obtained his freedom, the police
thought.

The next day an abandoned

he left nothing behind TO give
us the slightest clue TO his iden-
tity." the sheriff lamented.
And the passing days revealed
nothing enlightening. Sheriff Ho-
sinski. Deputies Brugger and
Lackey, and State Trooper Fred
Morley of the Ligonier barracks
returned to the murder scene
and re-enacted the crime with
directions provided by Stopper

2 Miserable Boys

A few minutes later the car
pulled up before the Moore
dwelling in Granger. Stopper
gathered the unconscious form
OF his beloved in his arms and
carried her tenderly to the low
rooted porch. Frantic calls
brought the girls parents.
Sheriff William Hosinski OF
South Bend found the parents
sobbing in each others arms
while the two boys huddled
miserably together awaiting his
arrival.
They told excited, disiointed
stories OF the tragedy. The Of
ficer listened carefully and got
the substance OF their almost
incoherent ramblings. then he
detailed Deputy Frank Brug-
gner 10 examine the death car
while ne made arrangements for
removing the body.
The deputy found that all six
shots had reached their mark.
One slug was lodged between
the running beard and the bot
tom Of the left front door while
another had penetrated the glass
Of the rear left window.
The rear left fender OF the car
had been hit, the gas tank had
been punctured and a part OF
the auto top was ripped away.
The slug that killed Media
Moore had passed through her
body and imbedded itself in the
upholstery.
When the deputy reported his
findings 10 his superior the
sheriff remarked dryly:
He sure didn't waste any
shots. Now let's see what we can
find on the scene Of the shoot

this time he repeated his threats
and warned me under pain Of
death to keep my mouth shut"
II was evident that the woman
was feeling, even now. none too
safe in divulging her fantastic
story. The sheriff carefully con-
cealed news OF the interview
with Mrs. Hawkins while his
deputies spread their dragnet 10

Months Of work, akin to

other experts, could start the
eight months task of taking

The junction OF Bittersweet
