And then the defense made the
startling charge that the state went
into this prosecution with uncIean

While Prosecutor Rucker was yet
resting from a two-day denunciation
of Mayor Bell Atty Michael Ryan for
Bell and Taggart charged that Ruck-
er and Deputy Prosecutor Joseph
Roach had hired David ('Bat") Mas
terson of Terre Haute to import from
Chicago a gang of toughs, and that
this gang had been placed in a camp
along the Ohio river and "schooled in
perjury" at the county's expense.
Thus it is indicated that "respecta-

Indianapolis News, because they
sued the News for libel.
