UNDER AN ALIAS
indianapolis Candidate, Unsav-
DRY Past Barred, is Barred
From Ticket

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct :S.-The
name OF Frank x. O'Brien. candidate
for juvenile court Judge on the Ma
rion county Democratic ticket, has
been removed from the ticket, and
the name Of Newton NJ. Taylor. pres
emit judge Of the court. has been sub
stitnted. Through his attorneys,
O'Brien late yesterday. admitted that
he had practiced fraud on the voters
In that he had run for. ONCE under
an assumed name. His real name Is
John r. O'Brien. He bears a police
record in st. Louis, and has been
"mugged'' by the st. Louis police.
Thus, In "a hours OF rapid action.
the past record OF q man has been
barred just prior TO election, and his
ambition to be Judge Of the children's
court of Indianapolis and Marion
county prevented. O'Brien could not
be found today. He did not appear
In court yesterday afternoon. II ne
had, he would have seen old records
of the st. Louis police that branded
him an idler, thief, the son Of q
thief, and the companion Of thieves.
These records named O'Brien as
the son of "Nosey" O'Brien, charac-
terized by the st. LOUIS police as
one OF the most notorious pickpock-
cts OF former years. John f. was
characterized as the least dangerous
Of the family. because he lacked
nerve and skill"
Had O'Brien become juvenile court
Judge, he would have sat hour after
hour every day Of the week on the
bench. posing as the father-superior
of Marion county children. and would
have advised parents and children
alike on such subjects az petty thiev-
cry. neglect, industry and general
conduct
O'Brien chose to adopt the record
OF real Frank X. O'Brien, who was
an attorney In st. Louis. He posed
as having been q member OF the Mis-
souri>> legislature, clerk Of the st.
Louis criminal court, and as having
been candidate for representative
to congress. He said he had prac-
ticed law in st. Louis fV % years.
II was learned that this was a dupli-
cation OF the record Of the real
Frank X. O'Brien. John r. came
