Gets Short Shrift Before
Judge Wiltsie.

By pronouncing the heaviest possible
sentence upon George w. Miller, con-
victed bandit, who was II member OF a
gang of hold-up men who robbed the
Beech Grove State Bank Of S23, 600 in cash

guilty by a jury on a burglary charge
in this counrt. II you have any legal
reason or reasons why you should not
be sentenced, then speak It now"
MILLER HAD
NOTHING TO SAY.
II have none" said Miller, with no
trace Of the rebellious spirit which he
exhibited during the trial.
The court, In passing sentence. stated
that Miller was dfsfranchised during the
time he was In the Reformatory because
the statutes provide that such defendants
period. The court held that under the
new statutes an "lndetermlnate period Of
disfranchlsement" must correspond to
the possible time that the defendant IS
in a penal institution.

stated that no appeal would be taken.
Sheriff George Snider said that Miller
yould be taken to the retormatory
probably next Monday.

GUNMEN HERE.
"There isn't a Chicago gunman in tn e
city" said Attorney Brown IN discussing
the rumor.

brought into court at a. m, he did not
enter the courtroom until after IL o'clock

PEACE IN HANDS
OF ULSTERTTES
Sir James Craig COnfers With
Premier Lloyd George on
Settlement.

BELFAST, Nov. 5.-In violation of the
Irish truce, armed men, supposedly 6inn
Feiners, today raided the police barracks
at Kesh, locked the eOnstables in their
cells and seized the contents of the
arsenal. Rifles, ammunition and bombs
were carried away in motor cars.
LONDON, Nov. 5.-Premier Craig of
Ulster, conferred with Lloyd George here
today on the proposed conference peace
settlement in Ireland.
LONDON, Nov. 5.-Fate of the Irish
peace negotiations rested today with Sir
James Craig, premier of Ulster.
Continuance Of the negotiations hangs,
It is believed, on listers acceptance Of
Lloyd Georges new compromise. This
provides for a united Ireland with north
ern and southern parliaments both un-
der one supreme body.
Craig will discuss his session with
Lloyd George and other officials over the
weekend.
a full meeting of the peace conference
is expected to follow Craig's statement
as to what concessions Ulster is willing
to make.
1t was stated reliably that hope for
success of Lloyd Georges new cOmpro-
mise is not very strong. The plan has
been only roughly outlined and under it
both Ulster and the government are ask
ing concessions from Sim Fein which
the Republican leaders have so far re-
fused to consider. They are believed to
be standing for a united Ireland-vir-
tually- independence under one parlia-
ment or at least surrender by Ulster Of
two of its counties which have Catholic
majOrities and which Sim Feiners con-
tend should be under the southern par
Lament, if there are to be two parlia-
ments.
Michael Collins, cOmmander-in- chief Of
the Irish Republican army, and Gavan
Duffy, Sin Fein envoy to Rome, two
of the members of the Sim Fein delega-
ton to the Irish peace conference, left
for Dublin to consult with Eamonn De
Valera. 1t is understood the conference
will relate to the attempts of Premier
Lloyd George to secure an adjustment
between Ulster and South Ireland. Collins
SAID he would return to London on Mon
day.

man, announced that he has appointed n
committee to watch for vote frauds and
Charles L. Hutchinson. a Shank lieuten-
ant, offered a reward Of $500 for the first
reliable Information of attempts to violate
the election laws.
Thomas s. Meeker, Democratic city
chairman, issued a vigorous reply to
this stating: at is the natural thing to
infer that the party who is most
suspicious OF others is the party to
watch, and we therefore gladly consent
to the same proposition Of Mr., Kingston
and we will follow his example in regard
to looking out for fraud on the part of
the Shank element"

lows:
Reliable information has come to me

to steal an election.
