B—6 U. S. C. Athlete Nabs 2 Women's Assailant, Finds One His Sister Ralph Vaughn, Star of Basket Ball Team, Rushes From Class to Catch Man By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, April 23.—Two women, one the sister of Ralph Vaughn, University of Southern California basket ball star, were stabbed with an icepick on the col- lege campus last night by a man police reported was later captured by the athlete. John A. Bertram, 25, was booked at University police “station early today on suspicion of assault with & deadly weapon. The victims were Pauline Vaughn, 21, of Frankfort. Ind, and Peggy Glasheen, 21. Miss Vaughn was wounded in the shoulder, Miss Glasheen in the leg. Hospital at- tendants said neither injury ap- peared serious. Detective Lt. W. A. Gilliland said the girls, employed at a coffee shop, were walking with Bertram’s es- tranged wife Ellen when Bertram stepped from behind a hedge. They were wounded, Lt. Gilliland added, when they grappled with him. Vaughn and other students, at- tending a night class in a nearby building, heard screams and ran to the scene. It was not until Bertram was subdued that Vaughn discov- ered one of the victims was his sister. Mrs. Bertram told Lt. Gilliland, when her husband accosted her he thrust a note into her hand. She said the first two sentences read: “If you don't come with me I'll‘ kill you and myself, too. If you come alogg I won't harm you.” There was more, she added, but he seized it, tore it up, and drew the icepick. The struggle followed. Lt. Gilliland said a bottle of poison was found in Bertram's pocket. The officer claimed Bertram first de- clared he intended merely to fright- en his wife, later admitted he in- tended to kill her then take the poison himself.

Coleman: “Let me tell you, Mr. Coleman, I have done more in the last month— by proposing to blast a few goats with modern high-powered aerial He wrote Mr, bombs—to cause the American peo- | ple to think of the awfulness of war than all of your so-called humane | associations have ever done.” Knife Victim Dies Muriel Gilmore, 27, colored, of the 100 block of Fairmont street N.W. died early today in Freedmen’s Ho: Jackson Makes Address At Legion Dinner Attorney General Jackson made an off-the-record speech at a din- ner of the Justice Department Post, No. 41, of the American Legion last night.
