Judgment to the sheriff Of Marion Coun-
~, who is charged with execution
thereof"
Judge Sparks came to Indianapolis
yesterday after a conference on the tele-
phone with Prosecutor Evans and made
the final entry against the Haags. On
the specific request OF Prosecutor Evans.
Clerk william Kiser carried out the trial
courts orders and delivered the copy
Of the order and the commitment to the
gherifrs office.
Chief Deputy Sheriff Arson Wntsle
takes the position that something more
than a commitment Is needed to get the
Haags in the custody OF the sheriff. He
Is Of the opinion that the bondsmen
should be compelled to bring the Haags
Into court or that a bench warrant be
Issued
Even the bond side OF the case has It's
part in the legal tanglc According to
Mr.. Wiltsie, Attorney John RuckelshRus
was the main surety on the appearance
bonds of both OF the Haags at the time
the Haags were waiting trial In the
Criminal Court. The records in thu
Criminal Court shows that Andrew Stef-
fen, former cigar manufacturer, who
has since died. was on the $4,000 appeal
bonds CT the Haags to the Supreme
Court. This appeal was dismissed by
counsel while the Haags were in prison
It Atlanta.
Now the question is whether NJ, {.
Ruckelshaus Is responsible for the de-
livery OF the Haags or is the estate o.
Mr.. Steffen responsible for the delivery Of
the defendants Mr. Wiltsle Is OF the
opinion that Mr.. Ruckelshaus, as the
main surety, is the one responsible AZ
this time.
Prosecutor Evans. who "a now conduct
ing the prosecution of Mrs linda Myers
for murder, said that he would look into
the bond tangle."
Judge Sparks. when here, said the
regular judge Of the court, who is Judge
Collins, had the power to see that the
agents Of his court carried out the or
ders of the trial judge.
Mark Storen, United States marshal,
was unable to find the Haags yesterday
when he called at their Pennsylvania
street store to demand payment of more
than So 060 representing fines Of $40. COO
imposed upon each Of the brothers last
June by Judge Anderson, together with
costs and interest.
Saturday Fred 7. Cretors. chief dep
mand for payment but at that time they
asked for a delay until Monday and
promised Mr.. Cretors they would come to
the office of the United States marshal,
Mr.. Storen Monday morning. They have
never put in an appearance.
Mr. Storen seemed inclined to await
the action of the local authorities in
their efforts to apprehend the Haags,
but he said emphatlcany that he would
not tolerate any lengthy delay and
would take further steps very soon II
they evade service.
The question as to the right Of the
local authorities to commit the Hangs
to the Indiana State Farm until after
the Federal sentence Of eighteen months
has expired has been raised, but Fred
erick Van Nuys, United States District
Attorney, said the fact that the Haags
were out on parole and that the time for
which they were sentenced TO the Fed
eral prison at Atlanta by Judge Ander-
son would not expire until October would
not prevent the State authorities from
enforcing the sentence imposed upon
them In the Marion Criminal Court.
