| RENSSELAER,, Ind, Oct. 18-For
some reason which had best be left
| to the Imagination for the immediate
| present, a part OF the records Of the
Jasper Circuit Court in the original case
of Bayard Taylor vs.. Chicago, Indiana
and Southern Railway Company, Carroll
| C.. Hunt and Warren T. McCray, have
disappeared from the files in the Court
{ house here
Specifically, the record that is now
missing ever since Warren T. McCray
| entered the race for the Republican nom
nation for Governor, is an interpleader
nled by the New York Central Railroad
on May 81, 1915
| In the court records there is an entry
| which reads:
May 81, 1918, N. Y. G. nles inter-
pleader. Court declines to hear any
| thing In vacation.
| Diligent search through the files, musty
and otherwise, of the Office Of the clerk
| OF the court reveals nothing of the
| original interpleader
Diligent inquiry made OF attorneys
who appeared In this case has so far
failed to disclose all that the interpleader
! contained.
MCRAY'S FRIENDS
SILENT ON AFFAIR.
Friends of Warren It. McCray simply
will not talk about 1t In public.
They profess TO have forgotten the af-
fair, or to have become confused regard
ing its details and none cares to attempt
TO supply at present the missing link in
a story Of a railroad that reads like o
Wallingford serial
How and when this record disappeared
is a tale that lies as deeply buried as the
why Of its disappearance.
The only public clew TO II lies In two
other notations on the court docket here
These notions are as follows:
June 12. 1918. Received of New
York Central Railroad Company the
sum of S1I281.87.
JUDsoN II. PERKINS. Clerk.
June IL. 1913. Received of Judson
III. Perkins, clerk. the sum Of SILL
4 seI.6T In full satisfaction OF the judg-
meat and the Judgment Is released.
BAYARD TAYLOR.
/ It is interesting to note that the pay
ments above referred 10 were made about
/ two weeks after the interpleader was
filed, that the court WAS still IN vacation
/ and no hearing was held on the plea OF
Intervention on the part OF the New York
Central Railroad in the case OF Taylor vs.,
I the C., l. & S. X. r., Warren T. AcCrAy
and Carroll c. Hunt
/ Among the things that Mr.. MeCray Is
not now referring TO in his campaign
/ speeches is this case, which went from
+ the Jasper court to the supreme Court
Of Indiana, and the record Of which lex
cepting the interpleaderl is now In the
Office Of the clerk OF the Supreme Court
Mr. McCray may know the contents
Of this missing document. Perhaps some
/ Of the gers OF the J. W. Fesler
campaign know.
II. X. MAY HAVE cory
NO LONGER INTERESTED.
Anyhow, a rather tall, light-hairef
young man with great inqulsitiveness
called at the Jasper County clerks OF
fee last spring during the Republican
primary light and sought this MISSING
document.
The present county clerk, who waited
ON him, declares that the young man
could not ind the missing record then,
and that he personally has never seen u.
Undoubtedly some place IN the arch
Ives Of the New York Central Railroad
there reposes copy OF this document.
But the New York Central Is no longer
interested in the case.
J II paid a Judgment to Taylor, which
proceeding appears to have ended tho
whole affair IN which the present Re
publican candidate for Governor had a
very deep interest and concerning which
he now IS saying nothing-absoluteIy
nothing.
For better understanding Of the valuo
in this campaign OF The pleading that
is missing from the files OF the Jasper
Circuit Court, one has only TO peruse tho
voluminous record Of the appeal Of the
case 10 the Supreme Court.
From Il very clear insight into the
character of the Warren T. McCray Of
several years ago may be formed.
From Il a few examples OF the fluent
letter writing ability OF the man who
aspires to be Governor are obtaiuable.
Such words as "collusion," "conhden-
tial," please destroy This" "you are not
TO knox anything at ALL" etc, make very
interesting reading
