By the Associated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, March 11.—The murder trial of Harold Herbert Schroe- der approached its close today, with final arguments by attorneys. The State yesterday dealt a blow to Schroeder’s technical plea of insanity when two physicians, npgomud by the court, reported the Mobile, Ala., ga- rage man is “unquestionably of sound mind” and was sane at the time an unknown hitch-hiker's body was found burned in his automobile near here last May 31. Prosecution attorneys contend Schroe- der killed or wounded the man and then set fire to the body. Defense counsel has stressed Schroeder’s story that the hitch-hiker died of & broken to a spot near Indianapolis and set fire the body for fear he would be ac- cused of murder. g CITY NEWS IN BRIEF.

Their debut ended as abruptly as it had begun when one, Robert Matthews, 26, of 40 Todd place northeast was overpowered by a taxicab driver they had robhed of $1.50, who disarmed Matthews and held him until police reached the scene, police said. ‘The second, police reported, fled with the spoils, but was taken into custody later in the night at the home of a Benning race track employe on Foote street northeast. He gave his name as Seymour W. Grady, 17, of Baltimore. Third Fare Left Cab. ‘The two are being held for investiga- tion while detectives endeavor to de- termine“whether or not they are con- nected with other hold-ups in the Capital. Earl Boccabella, 22-year-old hacker, of 333 Bryant place northeast, who captured Matthews, told police that Grady, Matthews and a third man, un- ident!fied, entered his cab at Third and G streets about 10 o'clock and directed him to drive to Benning. The unidentified man left the cab upon reaching the Benning road via- duct and K Boccabella drove on, pre- sumably to take the others to their homes.

Driver Wins Fight. Boccabella explained that he was pro- ceeding along Kenilworth avenue, near the Dntflct line, when Matthews re- laxed his vigilance. Taking advantage of his opportunity, the cab driver seized the revolver, clouted Grady across the forehead when he tried to intercede and then led with Matthews. ‘The taxi driver yelled for help as the cab passed pedesterians and after police received an anonymous telephone mes- sage Sergt.
