J. Turner Detective Agency, according to stories published in two Chicago papers this' evening, hired look for "an absconder." found herself in the midst of a weird in the afternoon papers alleged to have been made by Mrs. Moore. With reference to the ownership of the derringer used by Gates when he turned on his captor and slew him. whether Gates, as he claims, had the weapon hidden on his person for the long days he laid trussed to the floor, or whether the instrument of freedom was slipped to him while Heaton was off guard is a point police have under investigation.

James P. Edwards, attorney for Gates, said after representing him in Police Court yesterday morning, that Gates purchased the derringer at Bourne Bond's in January to carry for protection during his residence in the country. Mrs. Moore said in one statement that she saw a man climb out of the window of the room in which Gates was imprisoned. Mrs.

Moore also spoke of the disappearance of a derringer from Mrs. Heaton's dresser drawer. Investigation of the tragedy was begun by the grand jury at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Gates related the story of his capture and captivity in detail. When he had concluded.

Commonwealth's Attorney Joseph S. Lawton expressed the opinion that Heaton apparently was a paranoiac. Indictments Returned. Indictments were returned against Conrad, the organist, and Cordell. the Indianapolis detective, when the testimony of W.

A. Fisher, business partner of Heaton. had been heard. In the charge of the grand jury. Conrad and Cordell in one indictment are charged with having "unlawfully, will fully and feloniously imprisoned William Gates against his will and without authority of law-.

Gates not being guilty of any crime, transporting him in an aufbmoble through the streets of Louisville and imprisoning him in a house." In the second Indictment it is charged that Cordell and Conrad "confederated or banded themselves together for the purpose of intimidating, alarming disturbing or injuring William Gates." A bench warrant for the arrest and extradition of Cordell was issued by Judge A. T. Burgevin. Police officials armed with the copy of the indictment went to Frankfort to obtain a Governor's warrant for the extradition of Cordell, who is under arrest in Indianapolis. Conrad is to be arraigned in the Criminal Court today unless Mr.

Law-ton decides to await the arrival of Cordell, who will be brought to Louisville tonight. In this event both defendants will be arraigned in the Criminal Court tomorrow. Judge Burgevin will fix the bond at $3,000 in each case, making a total of $12,000 for both defendants. Gates Father Murdered. William T.

Gates, the father of Gates, was murdered when the son was 6 years old. the morning of Sunday. March 27. 189S. by a foreigner in front of a cafe at a point on the Bardstown Road where Transit Avenue now intersects.

The slayer was sentenced to life imprisonment but escaped after a brief period of confinement at Frankfort. When Gates was released on bond by Police Judge Dailey yesterday morninff he obtained some personal property at the jail and left in the controj over herself. She apparently was friendly toward me, but 1 could see that she was an enemy and desperate. We talked about Louisville and the weather and such subjects on the way to th house. No Outward Sign of Tension.

"There was no outward sign of the tension under which that family lived. But I went into the house with Mrs. Heaton a prisoner and I stayed there a prisoner. "The next day Mr. Heaton explained to me that his wife had wished to help him trap this but that he had reasons for wishing to keep her out of the mess.

Family reasons, he saTd. My duties, he said, were' to answer the telephone and look after Mrs. Heaton and keep her from being annoyed. I didn't have much trouble seeing through that. I guessed that the 'absconder' had more than an ordinary interest in Mrs.

Heaton. But 1 couldn't see the object in the elaborate stage setting. Mr. Heaton walked around like an actor in a tragedy. Mrs.

Heaton laughed and sang as if nothing in the world bothered her. But there wasn't a night when armed men weren't on guard over that house, front, rear and sides. "All Part of rian." "I asked Mr. Heaton about it and he told me it was all part of his plan and that I had no need to worry.

The reason I noticed her was that she was walking with her hands tlrawn up in the coat, as sailors with arms drawn up in blouse walk when they are cold. "She took one hand out to open the door, which I did for her. She still had her purse hanging on her arm.

"As she climbed in she said, 'Take me to Thirty-fourth and without giving a house number. Was In Hurry. "I went to Thirty-fourth and Broadway, where she got out on the northeast corner. She took out two $1 bills, paid me and she gave me a tip of 30 cents, my first tip, as 1 have just begun driving. "She walked off In a big hurry, and I watched her, thinking that she must have a date with some fellow.

But I didn't see any one. As far as I could see, she turned into a house. "Then I went to a drug store and phoned in. The only thing I noticed was that she seemed in a bis? hurry from the time I came. There was no one with her.

I noticed a car that was behind us for a while, but I think it turned off. No one followed us, I am pretty certain. Mrs. Moore Contradicts. Mrs.

Moore, she, is quoted in afternoon dispatches from Chicago, where she was allowed to return after a questioning by police Saturday night, said that Heaton took Mrs. Heaton and her to the Thirty-fourth Street house to witness the mutilation of Gatets as he lay strapped to the floor, an continuing, said: "While I was there, presumably alone. Mr. and Mrs. Heaton being in another room, I saw a man climb out of the window where Gates was and slide down a w.Tter spout and disappear.

I am of the belief that this man supplied Gates with a I heard the shots but did not witness the killing." Then, Mrs. Moore, in night dispatches, says that Mrs. Heaton made the trip alone.

and heard Mr. Gates speaking. He said he wanted to talk with Mrs. Heaton. I told him I would take the message.

He said he merely wished to inquire what Mr. Heaton wished to see him about.

I was still thinking about it when -Mr. Heaton and a man rushed into the 'You just received a telephone he said.

Then they stopped and I felt something was wrong. Mr. Heaton always knew when the telephone was' used. He quit inquiring. During the first week I found I was free to leave the house.

But there was always a man following me. When I discovered the caliber of the men in Heaton's employ I did not feel so much like going out. During the last week of my stay I never, went as far as the front door. "Then on Saturday night, Mrs. Ilea-ton, who had been playing writh her children they had a boy 3 and 1-2 years old and a girl 6 suddenly turned to me and said: 'I can't stand this.

I'm going crazy, i I'm going to get out. I don't carewhat Mrs. Heaton Desperate. "That was about "5 o'clock. The men seemed to be about the house as usual but Mrs.

Heaton had made a close study of their habits. She suddenly grabbed her hat and went out the front door. I noticed that she wasn't followed. The guards must have been on the side ot the house. "In about fifteen minutes she was back.

She went upstairs without speaking to me, came dowg again almost immediately and stood at the front window looking at the gun men. It was just about twilight and fairly warm. The men were talking at the corner of the house near the kitchen. Mrs. Heaton made another dash and that was the last I saw of herfcUntil the police raided the house and said that Mr.

Heaton had been shot." "Mr. Gates had been tied to the bedpost in a house at Thirty-fourth Street and Broadway for three days." they said. "That would explain the stopping of the telephone calls. Mr. Heaton had intended to vivisect him and Mr.

Gates had- suddenly shot Mr. Heaton with a Derringer. "Well, that's all I know about it. Mrs. Heaion's family are big folks in Louisville and they gave me an unpleasant hour at the police station.

They seemed to think that I was to blame for it. But. I didn't quarrel with them. I was honestly glad to get out of that house alive. "Mr.

Gates said the Derringer had been in his pocket since his capture by Mr. Heaton. I don't know anything about that. I only saw one Derringer in my life. "It was in Mrs.
