Was Favored Prisoner, Is
Missing Anyway.
POLITICIANS SMILING

Republican politicians around the
courthouse today smiled knowingly when
they learned that Prosecutor Claris
Adams had summoned Charles 0. Nc
Nulty former saloon keeper and friend
/ of the Goodrich -Jewett faction of which
/ Sheriff Robert F. Miller is a member, to
appear before the grand jury tomorrow
/ to testify in the jGil probe.
Adams issued a summons for McNulty
| to be brought from the state farm, where
he was sentenced TO three months on
! charge of operating a blind tiger, but
McNulty is not at the farm.
The former saloon keeper is in Mich
| igan. The board of pardons recon-
mended q parole after he had served but
! two weeks Of his sentence, and Gov.
Goodrich granted it.
McNulty was in the county Jail only
few days before he was taken to the
farm. ami could not have been familiar
With conditions at the jail
PERSONALLY CONDUCTED
TO FARM BY SHERIFF.
The former proprietor of the Bull and
Bear saloon in the Board of Trade build
ing was personally taken to the state
farm by Sheriff Miller.
1t is unusual for the sheriff to take
man to the state farm, and his action
in this case was looked upon as a high
favor"
McNulty, in presenting his case to the
pardon board, declared that he did not
purchase the whisky for sale, but 70
regale a bunch Of members OF the Marion
club. a republican organization.
He had been sentenced to serve ninety
, days on the penal farm and fined 5000.
Even before McNulty had served one
day on the farm an effort was made by
politicians to have him released.
Adams stated that he was unaware
that McNulty had been paroled.
James Boner. former Evansville pOiti
elan and one who had received favors at
the Jail. has also appeared before the
Marion county grand jury during the jail
probe.
BoNER ONE OF
FAVORED JAIL INMATES.
The federal officers did not call Boner
during the probe as he WAS described by
other prisoners as being one of the Jail
inmates who were favored by being given
work in the Jail kitchen.
Among the federal prisoners who ap.
peared today before the county grand
jury were .. STARK. Waiter Haag II. VI.
Jackson. Ave Lamb. Louis Miklos. Clar-
ence Wilhelm, Robert Brown, Morris
Chase. Harry Durk, Lee Mink. John
Fisher and Leonard Gordon.
iaag and Durk were the only prison
ers Of those examined today who test-
fed before the federal court
sympathy talk for Miller was going
the rounds today after he was forced
of the ticket by the republicans. who
feared that he would be too heavy a
loud TO carry Ia the election.
The feeling is being created that
Sheriff Miller has ''been PUNISHED
