A former bank president and mayor at Beemer, Wupper, whose biamous marriage led to his apprehension in Philadelphia, was rushed here by of- ficers after his return to Nebraska Sunday night. Sheriff C. H. Sass said Wupper would be arraigned Monday before County Judge Homer McDonald on charges growing out of the bank crash. Wupper was expected to waive to district court. The sheriff said the former banker had indicated he would plead guilty. As soon as a sen- tence is passed he will be taken to the Penitentiary at Lincoln. Wupper told officers his second marriage was a “closed book” and that he wanted to forget it. He did not mention his first wife, who lives at Fremont, but he was money. He asserted he had only $35 when he fled from Beemer in 1928.

April 6.—(®)— Virgil Kirkland was granted a new trial Monday for the murder of his Gary school girl sweetheart, Arlene Draves. Judge Grant Crumpacker in Porter county circuit court ruled that evidence on the first count in the in- dictmerit, that of murder by striking the 18-year-old girl with his fist, was insufficient for conviction. Judge Crumpacker’s decision was rendered after studying the evidence for several weeks. Kirkland’s punish- ment had been fixed by the jury at life imprisonment. ‘The court said there would have been “no question about ‘it” if the jury had voted for conviction on the count charging murder while commiting rape. A crowded courtroom heard the Judge read his lengthy decision. Judge Crumpacker expressed smy- pathy for the family of the dead Gary, Ind. girl who died after a drinking party there last Nov. 29.

Cermak, Dem- ocrat, immigrant Czechoslovakian who came up from coal mining to a Position of power in politics. Confidence radiated from both sides as the rival candidates pushed their campaigns without pausing for Easter Sunday. Cermak told his au- diences that he felt he will win by the largest vote ever given a mayor- alty candidate in Chicago. At tha same time he announced that if he is elected he would resign from his of- fice as chairman of the county board before becoming mayor. Thompson headquarters issued a statement in which Mrs. Bertha Baur, Republican national committeewoman, was quot- ed as saying he would be re-elected by from 100,000 to 125,000. Whatever the result, it is bound ta be unusual in Chicago politics. If Thompson wins it will give him @ longer term than any of his predeces- sors; as he already served thrice as mayor.
