May Be “Bandit Queen” Police Friday afternoon battered in vain at the wall of Indifference which Mrs. Arthur P. Henderson built around herself after she had screamed, "My God, that's my hus 0^ liand,’’ ns she looked at the face of the man slain by police in a gun bat tle Friday morning. Her stony indifference to all emo tion after that first shriek has con vinced police that Henderson was not her husband. It has nlso set them working on the theory that she may have been the “queen" of the bandit gang to which Henderson belonged. Ths man whom she identified as Aithur Henderson was shot and killed shortly after 2 Friday morning when he and two other men opened fire on Motorcycle Officers H. Mc Dermott and Eli Burke after they had been surprised while attempting to force an entrance to the Plggly \V'ggly store at 3922 Farnam street. Officers Hidden Across Street. The officers, hidden across the street, had challenged the trio. The men, without warning, opened fire. (In the first volley Burke had a por lion of his left ear shot away. Henderson's two companions are believed to have been wounded by the fusillade of shots which followed them as they sped east on Farnam street and made their escape. The bandits had stolen a truck from a. wholesale grocery company to use in the robbery. The truck was found abandoned a ahort distance from the store. "f Don't Know." All nttemps to extract from her some information which might lead to the arrest of Henderson's confed tJ* orate met with cold silence or replies of "f don't know." Questions regarding her husband were answered or disregarded as cas ually as though she were speaking of a stranger. In the incomplete story which she has given police, however, detectives have found many discrepancies which convince them that she Is shielding someone, possibly her real husband. Identifies Body. When she first appeared at the Heafey and Heafey mortuary Fri day afternoon and identified the body as that of Henderson, the woman told police that her husband and she had come to Omaha from Kansas ' City last Monday, and had taken a room at Forty-fifth and Frederick streets. About « p. m., Thursday, she said, two men whom she had never seen before drove to their house In a Ford touring car and asked to see Hen derson. He talked to them for a few minutes, she said, and went away with them. Chest Pledge Card.

The arrest of Hobbs came follow ing the exoneration in the law courts of Charles Ernest Robinson and his beautiful wife, who was trapped with the rajah in a Paris hot«l bedroom, as a result of Robinson's suit against the Midland b^nk for $#25,00. London. Nov. 28.—The ra*«e of Charles Ernest Robinson, suing the powerful Midland bank for $625,000 of the $750,000 blackmail money extorted from an Indian prince, became so technically involved this evening that Lord Hailing dismissed the jury and Announced that he would decide the verdict himself. The jurors, two women and 10 men. already had found that a conspiracy existed to mulct the Indian potentate after he was trapped in a Paris hotel room with Robinson's beautiful wife, Mrs. Maude Robinson, but it exon crated hcsland and wife of any con nection with the conspiracy. With that done, the jury was locked up again, ordered to determine wheth er or not the bank was liable for $625,000, Robinson charging that it had paid that out negligently after it had been deposited with the Midland institution by "Mr. A." as the prince is called to hide his identity. The jury's finding was construed by many as tantamount to exoneration of the bank of the negligence charge. The jurors said that William Cooper Hobbs, one of the alleged blackmail ers, had not intended transferring to Robinsm his rights In the $750,000 blackmail proceeds when Hobbs de posited it. They decided that in pay ing out the money, the bank merely obeyed the mandate under which it received the cleared check. Hobbs, they ruled, exercised the same authority in withdrawing the money that he had in depositing it. In a nutshell, the jurors were Un able to decide whether nr not the right to the money ever had been trans ferred to Robinson.
