TABLE DEATH
‘CONFESSION1
PROVED HOAX
CHICAGO New 27 (flh—Investi-
gators of the eerie death of Mrs.
Rheta Wynekoop pressed their in-
quiry for a complete solution of
the baffling mystery today bent on i
an early indictment of both Dr |
Alice Wynekoop and her son Earle i
Asst. State s Atty. Charles 3
Dougherty s^id he would go betore j
the grand jury tomorrow or Wed- ;
nesday to ask the Indictment of the j
mother and her sen—Dr. Wynekoop '
on a charge hat she fired the pis-
tol bullet the state contends killed j
Rheta ami Earle on the allegation j
he had advance knowledge of the i
doctor’s alleged purpose.
Traveling at Time
The arraignment of Earle in felony I
court today on s warrant ehnrg-
tng both him and his physician- i
mother with murder was also plan-
ned.
This course of action was an-
nounced after the police said that
the alibi Earle south t to destroy
“to save my mother from the elec-
tri o chair” had been re-established
Tlic albi—that Earle was an route i
to the southwest bv automobile with
Stanley Young at the time Rheta I
died on an operating table in the
basement surgery of his mother Dr
Alice Wynekoop—was found to be
sound the police said establishing
that a “confession” Earle mad? and
later retraced was untrue.
*‘I wanted to save my mother from
the electric chair.” Earle was quot-
ed as having said.
Pair identified
Two attendants at a ailing sta-
ti-an at Lockport. 111. Harry Hodges ;
»jd Fred Capaul. re-established the
9jm' when they identified young
wynekoop and hts (ravelin*? com-
ipnion as the men who drove up to
their place last Tuesday—the day 1
Rheta met death— with an auto-
mobile that had a blowout in a rear
tire. Wynekoop and Young were
taken to Lockport yesterday
“Well where do we go from here.” j
Young asked the of fleers. “If you
want more than his story (“the con-
fession.” was a hoax we can go on
down to Peoria where he filed a
telegram to his mother from a tele-
phone booth or to Quincy where I’m
sure I can find the waitress who
served us each a 70-c?nt r -it."
Tlie alibi angle was but one ot
several developments in the most
sensational death mystery Chicago
has had since the “thrill murder”
of Bobbv Franks bv Richard Lneb
and Nathan Leopold university stu-
dents now serving life in the state
prison at Joliet.
Ileny New Confession
One was the circulation of a
newspaper report—which was quick-
ly denied bv Prosecutor Do-it her tv
—that Dr. Wynekoop had mad* a
new “confession.” admitting site
killed Rheta to In 1 her son of a
loveless marriage tie.
When told cf this reoort the
prosecutor mer.1v shrugged his
shoulder and said:
“I wish it were true but vn have
no evidence that has not already
been mad** public/ The onlv -con-
fession’ in our hands is Dr vVvne-
koop's statement that she killed
Rheta accidentally with rhlorotorrn
and fired a shot into her lifeless
body so the crime might bp blamed
»n a mythical robber.”
A statement attributed to Dr
Wynekoop. supplementing he- ori-
ginal ’'confession'' was made nub-
ile by Police Cnpt. John Sf *g.\ In
It she was represented as saying
the reason she was named b'-nefi-
ciarv in an insurance policy taken
out on the voting woman was be-
cause Rheta herself had m: m ted

visualize it if carried out in the similar beautiful colors. As shown each
block is made of the same materials. However it is very handsome
when made of scraps of material with each rose star in different colors.
In the pattern color sugge.tions for doing this and for making the
quil* as shown are given.

FAMOUS FOOTBALL REFEREE
^ IF YOU WANT TO SEE nerve
strain look at' ’Mike’* Thompson's
job — refereeing two tons of foot*
ball brawn seeing every detail
but never getting in the players*
L way. "Mike" Thompson has been
a steady smoker for yeats. "Pm
open*minded on cigarettes" he
says "hut I’ve got to keep m y nerves
in shape so I stick to Camels.’*
fc * ■
IM. J. ("Mike”) Thompson football's most famous
referee has to keep his nerves healthy. He says:
“Because nothing can be allowed to interfere with
healthy nerves 1 smoke Camels. I have tried them all
—given every popular brand a chance to show tv hat it
can offer. Camels don't upset my nerves even when I
smoke constantly. And the longer ! smoke them tha
more I come to appreciate their mildness and rich flavor.'*
Many smokers who have changed to Camels report
that their nerves are no longer irritable .. .“jumpy.**
Switch to Camels yourself. You will find that Camels do
not jangle your nerves—or tire your tasta.
