Indianapolis July 13. The indictment of Mrs Martha Dixon for the murder of her husband less than a month ago prompts a novel defense. Doctors say she is not insane but a pervert, driven by a belief in reincarnation of her deceased husband. The defense argues lack of criminal responsibility. She remains at home near Bristow awaiting trial next month.
