BIRGER INDICTED AS A RESULT OF riamed With Four of His Followers in Killing of Highway Patrolman and Latter's Wife. Nashville, 111., June Charles BIrger, southern Illinois gang leader, already under indictments for the murder of Mayor Joe Adams of West City, was indicted late today for the killing of Lory L. Price, state highway patrolman, who, with his wife, was abducted from their home at Marlon the night of last January 17. BIrger and four of his former followers were Indicted on the testimony of Art Newman, former lieutenant, who was recently arrested in California on a charge of complicity In the Adams killing last December 12.

Says BIrger Shot Price. Newman declared BIrger himself shot Price three times at the barbecue stand near the charred ruins of "Shady Rest," BIrger's roadhouse in Williamson county, but Price was still alive and talking when he was thrown into a field near Dubois, this county, sixty miles north of the roadhouse, and was machine-gunned to death by other members of the gang at dawn, January 18. The body was found in the field February 5. Mrs. Price, Newman declared, was taken In a separate automobile by four henchmen who shot her to death with four bullets in the back and threw her body down an abandoned coal shaft, four miles north of Marion, and covered it with timbers and large pieces of corrugated Iron.

Search was started for the body, but slow progress was made because of recent cave-Ins. Otiicrs Indicted. Those indicted with BIrger were Connie Ritter, Ernest Blue, Leslie Simpson and Riley Simmons. iNeithet- Newman nor Fred Wooten, now in Atlanta prison, whorti he also implicated, were indicted.

Blue and Simpson also are at large. Simmons is serving a term in Leavenworth prison for counter- felting. BIrger, who has been In the Franklin county jail at Benton, was denied a change of venue there today by Circuit Judge C. H. Miller.

Counsel contended that feeling against BIrger was so antagonistic that he could not be given a fair trial in the Adams case. Judge Miller ruled, however, that the motion could not be granted because It was not filed at the term of court in which the indictments were returned. Counsel agreed to go to trial within two weeks.

He said they drove to Price's house in Marion In two automobiles, wth BIrger, Wooten and Newman in Newman's coach and Ritter, Blue, Simpson and Simmons In BIrger's sedan.

Price got in the back seat with Birger, Newman said, and Mrs. Price was put in the other car and BIrger directed that his henchmen "do away with her." "On the way to 'Shady Newman asserted, "Birger abused Price and accused him of talking too much, to which Price replied: 'Charley, you know I have been your friend and would not double cross Then BIrger would call him foul names and threatened to kill him.

"Price walked in and sat on a table, his back to the door and facing Birger. Ho was not alarmed. BIrger was in a rage. "With a terrible oath he accused Price of tipping off some one to burn the cabin (January 8).
