oral miles to a creumery whoro
ho telephoned to the police
Tho officers who answored Ol
hausen, said that they fonud hlin
near exhaustion from ill treat
ment and gagging. A fow hours
later, acting on OlbaUBoll's Infor
mation, they arrested the four.
Corbett, tbo pollco reported, was
heavily armed nnd haltod his car
only when tho pollco machine
forced it into tho curb.
After Olhausen identified tho
four nt pollco headquarters ho
said that ho had been taken first
to Corbett's houso and that Cor
bett hud stuck an automatic pis
tol agulnst his forehead and made
him write a noto to his wife,
telling her where to go to got
tho money with which to ransom
him. Ho said that ho had writ

ate effort to stay execution of the
sentence tomorrow, lute yesterday
caused to be filed an affidavit
alleging Willos to havo been driven
Insane by his long incarceration
and petitioning the court to ap
point a commission of alienists to
again examine him. Honoring of
the petition would automatically
carry with it a stay of execution
no satisfactory examination could
be thoroughly conducted In .the
short tlmo remaining und involve
tho delay of onco more bringing
the pair into court for ro-scntenc-lng.
A stay of execution to provide
for mental examination of WIIIoh,
It Is generally recognized here,
would result In executive reprieve
for Kclley. On tho theory that
one should not hang without tho
other. Governor Patterson has
since last August prevented tho
execution of Willos through a
scries of thirty-day reprieves.
At three o'clock this afternoon
Judgo Percy K. Kelly, of the
Marion county circuit court, nnd
before whom Kclley and Willos
were tried , will push upon thu
petition for an Insanity hearing.
Close followers of the case here,
express tho opinion that there Is
little possibility tho court wilt
honor the petition.,
Falling to secure the sanity
hearing, Willos' attorney is ex
pected to apply for a" 'writ of
habeas corpus. Although- he has
literally been bombarded of late
with recommendations that the
sentences of Willos und 'Kelley be
commuted to life Imprisonment, It
Is believed Governor Patterson will
stand pat on his previously de
clared hands off policy and allow
the Judgment of the court to run
