CANTOX, Ohio, March 3 County grand jury this afternoon re turned a first degree murder indict- ment against Floyd Streitenberger, a former member of the Canton Police Department, charging him with com plicity in the Don R. Mellett sination. Streitenberger is the fourth man to be indicted for the slaying of 2 Patrick McDermott, alleged man"’; Ben Rudner, called the ** pa. man,” and Louis Mazer were jointly in- dicted for the murder. McDermott and Rudner are now serving life terms in the penitentiary at Columbus, trial will start March 16. Streltenberger was dismissed from | the police force after he had offered 1o establish an alibi for Mazer Streitenberger said he met M downtown and asked him to drive to his home to see about The officer said Mazer did this and was in his automobile parked in front of Streitenberger's home at the time of the murder. 3 Reports have been current for months that police would become in- volved in the Mellett case.

Canton editor, today emphatically denied reports that he has made any confession or revela- tion concerning the muraer In his cell at Ohio Penitentiary where he is serving a life man who has been termed ° h 3 to the complete uncovering of the murder plot, said: “If there is any report out that I have squealed it's an atrocious lie.” Reports have been current for the Jast three weeks that McDer has . “done some talking.” The * supposition in this connection is that McDermott has made some revela- tions to his brother Bernard, who has wvisited him at the penitentiary. Officials in the investigation and Warden P. E. Thomas of the peni- tentiary have been expecting McDer mott to make a complete confession | ever since he was committed to the itentlary. From time to time ‘arden Thomas has sent word to McDermott telling him that when he is “ready to talk” his story would he heard immediately. The warden said today that McDermott has served no notice of his willingness to “talk.” S e Art a Helping Factor. Prom the Pathfinder Magazme.
