B—10 GANGSTER HOLDAP SPURS BURKEHUNT Chicago Massacre Suspect’s * Picture Is Identified by New Victims. By the Assoclated Press. LOS ANGELES, May 2—Police search for Frederick Burke, 36, and August “Augie” Winkler, 32, alleged Chicago gangsters, was intensified today following action of a fourth hold-up victim who positively identified Burke as one of two men who robbed him of $3,000 in diamonds. H. B. Walters, who said his home was looted April 3, pointed without hesita- tion to a picture of Burke in the sheriff's rogue's gallery. He also identified a picture of Winkler, but not positively. Three speedy pursuit planes were placed in readiness at airports here to fly immediately to any part of the State on receipt of word of the whereabouts of Burke or Winkler. U. S. Hammel told Capt. Stensland two men resembling the fugitives and robbed him last Tuesday in his home and had obtained $60 in cash and rings worth $700. He positively identified pictures of Burke. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Cooper were rob- bed in their home in Huntington Park, a suburb of Los Angeles, yesterday of Jewelrgmva]ued at $800. Both Cooper and wife identified Burke and Winkler from police photographs. Burke and Winkler have been sought since the St. Valentine's day massacre in Chicago last year. Rewards approxi- mating $100,000 are offered for the cap- ture of the two men. They also are | charged with sensational sheotings and robberies in Detroit, St. Louls, Chicago and Louisville. e g s s ‘The supposition that Mars is peopled by highly scientific men and women is founded on the discoveries of an Italian scientist, Schiaparelli, who in 1877 found a serles of long, regular, straight lines on Mars, and expressed the belief that they were canals artificially produced by the Martians.

FATHER 1S FREED ONIURDER GHARCE Jury Refuses to Indict Man Who Confessed Slaying “to End Suffering.” By the Associgted Press. CHICAGO, May 2.—Mercy and the law united yesterday to free a 70-year- old father from a charge of murdering his daughter “to end her sufferings.” The grand jury, consisting of 23 business men, declined to return an in- dictment against the aged man, Charles Cutler, both because of his pathetic story about the slaying and because the State indicated it would be unable to prove a corpus delectt, Cutler, bent and gray, walked into a police station several weeks ago and confessed he had asphyxiated his daughter five years ago “to end her incurable suffering from heart disease.” At the time the daughter was be- lieved to have committed suicide. ‘The State said that in order to estab- lish a corpus delecti, it would be neces- sary to have witnesses who had seen the daughter both alive and dead. The State’s attorney said he had been un- able to find such a witness. The under- taker who buried the body could testi- fy to the death, but he did not see her alive, and a patrol wagon driver sawd her alive but he did not see her Bachelor Apts. 1737 H St. N.W. 2 r. and b. completely furnished —hotel service.

Benson in Divorce Appeal Case Futile. ‘The District Court of Appeals yester- day denied the petition of Gordon W. Benson to rehear his appeal from a de- cree of the District Supreme Court which awarded Mrs. Gertrude M. Benson, 1307 Euclid street, a divorce from him, on statutory grounds. Ben- son petitioned the court to modify its recent opinion sustaining the decision of the lower court upon the ground that when the case was tried he was denled the right to introduce evidence bearing upon the conduct of his wife after their He contended that the divorce decree, which also directed ; | him to pay permanent alimony, had the effect of depriving him of his property without due process of law. Mrs. Benson, represented by Attorneys Raymond Neudecker and William C. Ashford, filed suit May 12, 1926, for a divorce from Benson, naming his second wife as co-defendant. She alleged that Benson obtained a decree of divorce in Chicago on May 12, 1925, without notice to her, and thereafter married his sec- ond wife, subsequently returning to the District of Columbia. The case was heard below by Justice Gordon, whose decision now stands affirmed by the lo- cal appellate court.
