TAKES HIS CASE
TO CIRCUIT COURT
Prosecutor Cannot Get Convictions
Before City Judge In Blind Pig
Prosecutions.

Muncie. Ind, Sept. s.-Four blind
tiger cases pending before City Judge
Ralph S Gregory were fled in the
Circuit Court by Frank Feeley. depu-
ty prosecuting attorney for the city
court, after he had filed a motion be-
fore Judge Gregory for the dismissal
of the cases because the evidence lis
insufficient to obtain conviction in
this court"
Feeley said that although he is op-
posed to this crank dry business"
and "fanatical persecution game of
certain crowd" he is disguised by
the regularity with which prisoners
accused of liquor law violations es-
cape punishment in the city court.
we are going to stop this blind
tiger business in Muncie, and l don't
care who knows it, Feeiey said.
The way that kind of thing has been
going on here Is a disgrace to the
town. If I am given proper support
I am going to stop this thing OF
laughing at the law.
II know It would be impossible to
secure convictions in the four blind
tiger cases in the city court, 40 l have
ordered them dismissed there and
have filed them in the Circuit Court"
Judge Gregory said the cases will
come up in his court in spite OF
Feeley's action. The Judge was not
disturbed, he said. by Feeley's atti-
tude and said he would pay no at
tention to "all that foolishness OF
Feeley."
IF Feeley wants convictions in my
court he must produce the evidence"
was the only comment Judge Greg
DRY made.
Feeley and Gregory both are re-
garded as supporters of Mayor
Bunch. Persons here who believe
law enforcement has been lax under
the city administration are wonder
ing how Feeley got angry enough to
go before Judge Frank Ellis, whose
attitude in the so-called graft cases
has not endeared him to the city ad-
ministration.
