date without a purpose.
Only about a week ago, at the demand
Of Federal authorities a squad OF po-
nrsmen were stationed on the Rockville
road to intercept booze runners.
BOOTLEGGER's TRIAL
COMES AFTER ELECTION"
They caught a carload OF hooze every
hour during the evening and they let
two OF the booze runners get away from
them.
One Of the two who got away is now
waiting the outcome Of an appealed case
in the criminal court.
He was recently notified that his case
would not come up until after election.
He has been for months selling liquor
IN the very shadow of the city hall.
His habits are known to the police,
two Of whom have watched him peddls
his wares from the car into which other
policemen sent bullets on the Rockville
road.
The police do not dare arrest him.
If he wished, he could tell the grand
jury of a prediction promise that win
never be officially recorded, but which.
ne does not doubt will be kept to the
letter.
POLICE, DISGUSTED, q
HAVE UNDERSTANDING.
Police officers themselves have become
so disgusted with the manner In which
their cases are hampered in the courts
whenever an administration fayorite IS
elected that they have agreed among
themselves to send In no more men.

They are now administering the pun
ishment they think best when they ar
rest men whom they know will not be-
dealt with. as they believe they SHOULD
be when they reach the courtroom.
The Marion County grand Jury, ere
ated by a careful process of elimination
of men who do not want to serve, is not
cognizant of conditions and no effort is
being made to inform It either by the
prosecutors office or by the 'investi-
gator"
In short, the business of electing those
among themselves who are candidates
and those who have "tied-up' with then,
has become so an-important in Indian
apolis that it is entirely possible for men
such as Roy Lingenfelter to assault more
little girls than they can remember and
still go unpublished.
No one of the authorities has time to
punish them.
The election is only two weeks away.
