WANTS
TO KNOW WHY
NO TRIAL HELD
Says Responsibility for Trying
Sheriff Rests With the
Prosecutor.

Reviewing the record Of Sheriff Robert
II. Miller, Paul G. Davis, candidate for
Marion County prosecutor. demanded TO
know, in speech at Harrison and Pine
streets last night, why the sheriff is not
tried In Criminal Court on the indlct-
ment in connection with the Marion
County JAN scandal.
Mr.. Davis said:
