TERRE HAUTE CASE
TO Jury TUESDAY
Election Fraud Defendants
Attorney Concludes His
Arguments.
ANOTHER OF THE ACCUSED
CHANGES PLEA TO GUILTY
u. S. Prosecutor Will Finish His Ad-
dress Tomorrow. Having Be-
gun Yesterday.

! INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, April 3.-The
defense in the trial of the Terre Haute
| election fraud case in the federal court
| has completed its argument and Dis
trict Attorney Daley began this after
noon the closing argument for the gov
ernment. He will have all day Monday
| to complete his review of the case, and
as he has said he will occupy all the
time allotted him, Judge Anderson will
not be able to instruct the jury before
Tuesday
Former Representative A. Q. Stanley
of Kentucky closed for the defense. Mr..
Stanley took up the testimony of each
defendant separately and contended for
each that the government had failed to
make case. Eli E. Redman, declared
elected judge of the Vigo county court
by ten votes at the last election, and
Mayor Dom M. Roberts were among
the last to be discussed. He asserted
that "Redman, poor as church
mouse" had to 'go about with his hat
in his hand collecting dollar wher-
ever he could" to meet expenses and
that that fact was proof that he was
not connected with the conspiracy.
Mr.. Stanley frequently referred to
Roberts as a candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination for governor. and ar
&
him had been invented
Changes His Plea.
During the day Fred Morrisson, an
employe of the city engineers office of
Terre Haute, ana one of the twenty
eight men on trial, changed his plea of
not guilty to guilty. Judge Anderson
ordered the change ard instructed Nor
risson to return to his wife and chill
dren in Terre Haute and that he would
be sent for when wanted.
MORRISON was q city empIoye and
had served as election inspector. A
number of government witnesses testi
fled that MORRISON operated the lever
on the voting machine and went be-
hind the machine with the voters. The
defendant took the witness stand in
his own behalf and denied both charges
absolutely. The two democratic mem
hers of the election board corroborated
Morrison. One of these, William
Davera, was charged with perjury and
was held to the federal grand jury
under bond of $4,000.
Excepts to Remarks.
Mr.. Stanley took exception to the dis
trict attorney referring to Morrisson's
plea of guilty, but Mr.. Daley con-
tinued:
"I'n gamble Mr. Stanley had to tear
up part of his notes when MORRISON
told the truth here today"
Mr.. Daley spent considerable time
showing the connection Sheriff Dennis
Shea had with the alleged conspiracy
and then referred to the evidence in
general as 1t bore on the different
courts in the indictment. When court
adjourned he was telling of the many
obstacles that the defendants have
placed in the path Of the government
in its investigation of the case, be-
ginning with the "gang-picked grand
jury in Vigo county" before which
witnesses before the federal grand
tempts to influence government wit
nesses. as testified to during the pres
ent trial.
