Family of 3 to Be Tried In Wedding Dress Murder Indicted by Grand Jury Yesterday, Gills Go On Trial Today MIDDLEBTJRG, June 3 (P) The "wedding dress" murder for which Sherman L. Strawser, rangy farm hand, is to die In the electrict chair within a week, today swept his fiancee and her parents into hasty trial for their lives. Within a few minutes a(ter Zella Gill, 16, a slender farm girl, and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lester Gill, were indicted for the slaying of Charles Gable, a fanner, the court announced their trial will begin tomorrow.

It was Strawser who implicated them. He threw himself on the mercy of the court after pleading that he killed Gable to get money for Zella's wedding gown and then changed his story before the pardon board. Asked Life Sentence Last month, with his days of life ebbing, he asked the pardon board for a commutation of his sentence to life imprisonment, basing his plea on a new story that the Gills forced him to rob. He said Gill, who was and still is in jail on a liquor charge, threatened that unless he robbed Gable and got money to get him out of jail, he would have Strawser on a morality charge involving Zella. He told that Gill wrote him a letter, he went to the jail and the robbery plot was laid.

He said another farmer was selected first as the victim but was discarded "because I knew Gable better." I District Attorney Henry J. Som mer told the pardon board he had no faith in Straw.ser's revised story and expressed the belief the youth concocted it in a desperate hope that it might save him from a murderer's death. But Attorney General Charles J. Margiotti, himself a kell known criminal attorney and a member of the pardon board, said that, if there was any possibility the Gills were Involved, Strawser's life should be prolonged so he could testify against them. Earle Gives Respite Accordingly, Gov.

George H. Earle gave Strawser, originally sentenced to die last month, a respite until June 10. Then Margiotti asked Sommer to step aside, asserting he evidently was "prejudiced," and appointed John L. Pipa, of Shainokin, as special prosecutor. Pipa took Ave witnesses Into the grand Jury room this morning and a few hours later an indictment charging the Gills with murder was returned.

i Strawser Testifies Strawser himself was taken from the Snyder county Jail to testify before the grand jury. Other witnesses were State John Herman, of Lewlsburg; Mrs. Gable, the slain man's widow; Edith KeLster, a domestic at the Gable home, and Robert Dipfenderter, a deputy Thus, in his role of Informer against the Gills, Strawser will be the state's principal witness.

Gov. Qeorge H. Earle today urged the graduating class of Susquehanna university to be liberal and join in the fight against "economic disorder." After the governor's address, he joined directors, faculty members and distinguished' guests in an academic procession and helped dedicate a new athletic field for women and the new alumni gymnasium.

Will Become Responsible "All of you here may not be accountable ir you step out of the classroom and find the world out of joint." the governor said at the commencement exercises. "It isn't your fault. But once you assume the full duties of citizenship, you will be responsible. "I would like to tell you that you are going out into a world of golden opportunity. I would like to say that you have only to be intelligent, industrious and serious minded to become a success.

Unfortunately, that's not entirely true. "No matter how learned or brilliant you are, no matter how much midnight oil yc burn, you are going to find a rough road ahead. Opportunity will not knock on your door not even once. You will have to go out and create it. You will have to fight for it.

You will have to jump in and help clean up the economic disorder before you can even start to build your own future. You will discover, if you have not already, that there is little logic In our social system as it now He urged the students not to be afraid to be liberal. "Remember that today's liberalism Is tomorrow's conservatism," he said. "The world Imoves forward, and it's better to be out In front than to trail along at the end of the parade. The world respects its leaders sometimes long after they are dead but it never thinks about those who bring up the rear.

"Don't be afraid to take the initiative in anything worthwhile, even if you have to break with tradition and precedent in doing it. Courage of that kind Is the distinguishing characteristic of a real leader. Never make a move until you are Absolutely sure you are right, but when you are sure, don't let anything stop you."

Father Charles E. Coughlin, the radio priest's advisers today served an ultimatum ot court proceedings if the Chicago park board refuses to yield at its meeting tomorrow. From a routine matter, Father Coughlin's application for a lease of Soldier field, which seats 80,000 persons, has (developed into a cause celebre with indications of spectacular legal pyrotechnics to come.

President Robert J. Dunham and other members of the park board turned down Father Coughlin last week on the ground that any controversial s))eech would be contraiy to policy. Threats Court Action Today, Samuel Ettelson, prominent attorney and former corporation who has been retained by the priest, attacked the board's position and threatened the extraordinary procedure of mandamus action to obtain use of the big stadlrim. He declared: 'Soldier field Is a public place, built with taxpayers' money and administered by public servants who should overlook no opportunity for profit that will help amortize the building cost. "Many precedents have been established for diversified use of the field.

Why, upon one occasion, the Republican party held a 'constitution day' affair for which tickets were sold, the proceeds going to the party's campaign fund." In Detroit, Father Coughlin charged that enemies of his Na tional Union for Social Justice are I trying to block use of the field for the mass meeting. On the park board's repeated re fusal to approve the lease, he said: "Evidently, they don't know the law.

Coughlin Sat on the steps of his Shrine of the Little Flower today while he told newsmen he had no ambition for power or any desire to form a third political party.

I can't last much longer." Asked if he would support President Roosevelt for reelection, Father Coughlin said "I don't know. I hope so." 'You have to give him credit," he added. "He has been the only President in the history of the country who has shown tendencies to work for social justice."
