FORMER BODY-GUARD
Was Once Tried for Mur
rder With Grand Dragon
. .of Indiana K. K. K.
JEFFERSON, Wis.— (&) —The
discovery of the badly beaten and
bullet punctured. body of Earl
Gentry, once tried with D. C.
Stephenson, former grand dragon
of the Indiaha Ku Klhx Klan for
the! death of Madge Oberholtzer,
gave Wisconsin officials a baffling
slaying mystery today.
Gentry’'s body was found late
vesterday, grotesquely slumped in
his automobile which had been
parfled near a swimming pool on
the Rock river.
Ahsence of normal amount of
blood in the car and the fact that
the body was covered with rugs
leq to a search of the home of
Mrs: Carrie Gill, 59-year-old
widow, where Gentry had lived
for several years. The sheriff said
what appeared to be hastily
sponged stains were found on the
kitchen floor.
Mrs. Gill told authorities Gen
try left her home about 6:30 p.
m. Saturday. The sheriif said he
learned Gentry spent the evening
with Mrs. Gill's niece, Josephine
Probst, at Fort Atkinson, near
here.
~ The parked automobile was first
seen near the swimming pool
about midnight Saturday. The
spot is about two blocks from the
Gill residence. When told that
Genfry had been slain, Mrs. Gill
ihgisted she knew nothing of his
movements after ha\ett her home.
Hep niece fainted when she viewed
the body.
Mrs. Gill admitted, the sheriff
said, that the rugs covering the
body came from her house.
The police said Gentry was a
native of Atlanta, Ga., and had
worked in a furniture factory and
as a city traffic officer in Evans
ville, Ind., beforé he hecame Steph
enson's body guz.rd.
He came here shortly after he
was acquitted with Earl Klinck,
another Stephenson lieutenant, in
a joint trial with the former Ku
Klux Klan leader on charges of
murdering Miss Oberholtzer, an
Indianapolis girl, in April, 1925.
Stephenson was convicted and
sentenced to life imprisonment.
The state charged the girl was
eriminally attacked by Stephen
son in the presence of Gentry and
Klinck.
FORD OFFICIALLY
NOT NRA MEMBER
No Signed Letter of Com
pliance Has Been Re
" ceived, Head Says.
WASHINGTON . —(#)—NRA still
had not received a signed letter
of Blue Eagle compliance from
Henry Ford today, though a local
dealer indicated his intention to
bid en approximately $2,000,000 of
war department contracts.
R. P. Sabin¢, of the Northeast
Motor Company, a Ford dealer and
his attorney, F. Hunger Creech,
conferred at NRA headquarters
with 1. D. Everitt of the automo
tive section. : -
After this conference it was
learned the war department was
taking bids today on a large con
tract and that Sabine intended to
compete. - =
So far as NRA officials were
concerned, a signed letter from the
Ford Motor company still was
awaited.
It was thought Sagne’'s bid
might be submitted conditionally
subject to possible receipt of the
signed letter of compliance, but
whether such a bid would be ac
cepted was up to the war depart
ment.
NRA offtcials said they had no
indication that the letter of com
pliance approved Saturday by
Hugh S. Johnson would not be
signed by a responsible Ford Mo
