SAVED BY STEEL VEST Leaps Through Window and Makes Getaway After Battle That Does Him No Harm. (AMorUttd Pita Laiatd Win.) CHICAGO. Oct 29. Martin J. Durkin, steel vested automobile thief and slayer, last night met with bis ready pistol an attempt to arrest him In his sweetheart's apartment and eluded a posse trap after fatally wounding Lloyd Aus tin, his betrayer and snooting a de tective. Sought since he killed Ed ward Shanahan, federal agent. Oc tober 11. and wanted for wounding two policemen in Sacramento, Cal.. several months ago, Durkin faced the biasing shotguns and pistols of the policemen. Jumped from a sec ond story window and vanished. Riot squads scoured the neigh borhood until dawn, but found no trace of the alayer, whose protect ive vest was believed to have sav ed him at the time of the Shana han shooting. The ambush last night was laid after information was obtained from Austin that Durkin and Aus tin's niece, Betty Andrews Werne, might come there for clothing in preparation for a flight from the city. Austin was ordered to greet Durkin and Invite him In on his arrival when the detectlvea would close In. Sergeant Gray, who was wound ed, was recognised by the alayer before Austin could give the pre arranged warning and he and Dur kin began firing. The woman at tempted to push down Gray's shot gun and Austin got Into the line of fire receiving eleven wounda from which he died early today. Durkin leaped through an open window as Gray fell and dodged detectives waiting below. They fired at him twice. Police believe Durkln's armoured vest again stood him In good stead. Previous to setting the trap, de tectives raided the home of Dur kln's mother and seised oriental rugs, furniture and radio aeta, val ued at 14,000, which they said had been stolen in California.

NOBLES V1LLE. Ind.. Oct 2. The story of Madge Oberholtzer'a mother was put Into the record to day in the trial of D. C. Stephen son, Earl Klenck and Earl Gentry, in connection with the girl's death. The mother told the circum stances of Madge's departure from borne on Sunday night March IS, the date on which the state al leges the young woman was ab ducted and of her daughter's re turn, bruised and injured, the fol lowing Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Eunice Chultx, roomer at the Ober holtser home, picked up the nar rative shortly before noon and re lated additional Incidents of the girl's return in the custody of a man who said his name was "John son of Kokomo," but whom she Identified as Earl Klenlck, one of the defendants. NOBLESVILLE, Ind Oct. 29. Mrs. George E. Oberholser, mo ther of! the girl Madge for whose death D. C. Stephenson, Earl Klenck and Earl Gentry are on trial here, took the stand today as, the states first witness. Charles E. Cox of the prose cution. In the opening statement charged Stephenson, former grand dragon of the Ku Kltix Klsn, with having a dual personality and with being a veritable "Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde," and a "se ducer of women." Mr. Cox said evidence would be Introduced to ahow how the girl was cslled to Stephensons home by a ruse, forced to drink, taken to a train anil, assaulted enroute to Hammond, lnd. The state also would show, he said, how the girl had been offered an opportunity to marry Stephenson, the day fol lowing and that she refused. Em ployees of the Indiana Hotel at Hammond, Cox said, would prove that Stephenson and Gentry re gistered there, but that Stephen son used another name. "The principal witness for the state will be Madge Oberholtrer, the dead victim." said Mr. Cox. "Under an exception to rule which generally excludes hearsay testi mony, Madge Oberholtser will tell to you, so far as possible in the circumstances, the story of her entrapment, of her being drugged. kidnaped, assaulted, beaten and of the taking of deadly poison which contributed to her death."

MITCHELL MUST STAND TRIAL IS T ( Plea of Immunity Loses On Opinion Rendered by Legal Adviser. WORDY TILT FOLLOWS Defense Counsel Questions Authority for Hearing, in Spite of Order 1 by Coolidge. (Aaoclittd eras Usatd Wirt.) WASHINGTON. Oct. 29. Co lonel William Mitchell's plea of Immunity from military trial on the charges pending against him was overruled today in the gen eral court martial proceedings against him. The court's law office ruled that when Colonel Mitchell charg ed war and navy department offi cials with "criminal" and "almost treasonable conduct in admlnlst- lering the air services," he com ! mined an offense against military discipline, and could not take re- Ifuge from punishment In the con stitutional guarantee of free : speech, as he had sought to do." j mis opinion, whose effect is merely to sustain me junsaicuon of the court and make It possible to proceed with the trial, was ap proved by the court itself after a short consultation In aecret.

Colonel Blan ton Wlnshlp. gave his opinion af ter the court, the prosecution and the defense had acreed to leave 'the point to him, hut In, render ling his decision he asked that I specific court approval be given.

The ruling applied specifically tonly to that specification in the charges which applied to Colonel I Mitchell's first Sun Antonio' state Iment criticizing the conduct of jthe air services, b,ut it was in the nature of a test, and one by one the court proceeded in rapid or jder to overrule Mitchell's objec tions to its right to try him on the remaining counts. Procedure Assailed. Representative Held of Illinois, counsel tor Colonel Mitchell, then moved that all the charges be stricken out. He said the court's record failed to show that the commanding officer had ordered jthe charges against the defendant jinvestigated or had himself inves tigated the charges as required by court martial regulations. "If Colonel Mitchell had been guilty of any offense." Mr. Held !said, "it should have been rharg !ed by bis commanding officer at that time. Major General Krnest ' Hinds, in change of the eighth ! corps area at San Antonio. ' "The record does not show that Oenerl Hinds, or Brigadier-General Rockenliach, commanding the district of Washington, thought thought any crime had been com mitted. "Where then does this strange nower come from that stretches jout over these two commands? lit does not come from the offl Icers under whom Colonel Mitchell served in Texas or in whose Ju risdiction ho is at present." Colonel Moreland, for the pro secution, replied that It waa not required under the court martial regulations that either General Hinds or General Rockenliach ac tually bring the charges, (Vjolidge's Order Knnucll. "This Is a presidential court." declared Colonel Moreland. "There la no requirement that the regu lations shall bo carried out ex plicitly, as long as the substance Is there." "The cbarges are signed by an officer In the Judge advocate gen eral'a office at the war depart ment and Colonel Moreland asid the president had designated that officer to act as accuser, as he has a right to do as commander In chief of the army and navy." The reference to "the president ial court," brought Mr. Held to his feet. "I hate In think thin la a rase where nerejaltr knowa no law," he said. "What Strang" nower Is this we are facing? This Is aa abnormal case. Indeed. I "You don't mean to tell me that the president himself had these chsrges prepsred? The trisl officer doesn't know whst be ssys unlets my ears hare deceived me.
