4 Police Now Believe That Mrs.
Henderson Is Not Mate of
Man Shot in Early Morn
ing Gun Battle.
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.

State Says
Will Attempt to Prove That
Lillian MeKenney Met
Death Eight Miles From
Where Body Found.
Evidence Shakes Hough
Rperlal Dlspateh to Tlt« Omalm Bee.
Bedford, la., Nov. 28.—Carl Hough,
on trial for his life in district court
here, today for the first titne since
the opening of his trial showed signs
of despair.
As the state gradually built up its
case and introduced testimony by
which It hoped to prove that the
prisoner had not been poisoned by
whisky just before the death of Bil
ibin MeKenney, last August, Hough's
face grew red, he twisted and turned
in his chair and began.ot show signs
of nervousness.
For the first three days of the trial
Hough had been notlreahle for his
air of nonchalance. He sat. bored,
while the attorneys for the state and
for the defense wrangled over the
Jury, and fought nvpr the testimony
which was offered. His eyes more
often sought the ceiling of the little
court room than the faces or figures
of the witnesses or the jurymen.
Breaks I'nder Testimony.
But today all that changed. The
weight of the testimony which the
stute has offered seemed at last to
break through that air of utter calm
and to take wtih it his nerve.
From the seemingly aloof individ
ual, who cared little how the trial
went, eventually Hough has changed
to a normal Individual, whose life Is
at stake.
Hough's mother, who has been In
the court room daily since Wednes
day, left shortly after noon today for
her home In Oakland, la. As she
left the court room she passed by
her son. She did no speak, nor did
she smile. She just reached out, took
Hough by the arm and gave It a
gentle squeeze, and then she went
out.
His father remained in the court
rooms. The parents nre estranged
and have refused to sit together
throughout the trial.
Throughout the day the state con
tinued to build up and present its
case. Witness after witness, was
called to testifv as to Carl Hough's
whereabouts on the night of Au

Kdgar Mitchel. Bedford garagemnn,
was called to the witness stand soon

gasoline. The man had no money
and Mitchel refused to extend credit.
Hough offered to trade an automo
bile jack for the gasoline but Mitchel
refused.
The garngeman was unable to say
whether or not Billlan MeKenney was
with Hough at that time or not. The
side curtains on the automobile were
down and he could not see into the
car.
Mrs. Grace Wright, attendant at
an oil station, was then called and
said that she had traded Hough two

“Passion of Purity," She Explains
I,r>s Angeles, Cal., Nov. S.—"Pure
passion—if you know what I mean—
that was the love we had."
Mary F. Watkins, pretty California
"business girl," folded her hands in
her lap and thus described today her
six year love affair with William Fee,
murdered banker.
"Yes, pure passion,” she said.
"That’s a paradox, I know, but it's
what I mean. T don't Intend to pre
tend our love was anything but pas
sionate, but it was pure.
"We loved each other frankly, but
it was a romantic love. My religion
would not permit me to have married
him even though he had been di
vorced.
“Of course, I might have been mar
ried in the six years I loved Will, but
other men were not interesting—they
were cold and crude in contrast to
Will.
“Will and I loved Intensively and
slncereYy as man and woman. And
now—If it has ended in this sad, fu
tile way it is because there were bar
riers of conscience and responsibility
that proved too much for us both.”

London, Nov. 28.—William Cooper
Hobbs, the law clerk of Appleton &
Co., and who furnished the "legal
brains'' in the plan to blackmail Sir
Hari Singh, rajah of Jammu and
Kashmir, out of $750,000, was ar
rested tonight.
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.

childfen in the family, both pupils a?
Windsor school, were recovering from
smallpox at their home, and that the
four other children had had th*
disease within the last month.
Dr. .A. P. Pinto, who investigated
th* case personally, believes that this
family was probably responsible for
the two other cases of smallpox at
the school within the last week, which
caused him to order the vaccination
of all pupils Wednesday.
The discovery of Blossom Brooks
illness was made while Dr. Pinto and
his assistants were vaccinating th*
pupils. Dr. Pinto recognized the
disease and immediately ordered the
girl home.
When h* went to her home later.
Mrs. Brooks told him that th* six
other children, four of them students
at Windsor school , had had the
disea«* in a mild form within a
month. They had not called r.
physician, she said, and did not recog
nize the disease.

<iue.*tion of raiding out of the party
those senators who failed to support

ly opposed in the conference by Sen

lations committee, and Norris of Ne
braska, who t« one of the insurgent
leaders. Neither ofthese senators at

Senator Borah expressed his views
