GRAND JURY VOTES
6 INDICTMENTS IN
TAR CASE, BELIEF
Court WithhOlds Identity of
IA Wanted-Name 80 In
81 True Bills.

Six secret indictments involving
Ia persons among whom may be
bills against alleged participants in
the tar and feather episode ut New
Carlisle last August. were returned
Monday morning in circuit court by
the grand jury. IN all, p indict-
ments were made against 80 per-
sons.
In the event that true bills were
found against those who administer
cd a coat Of aar and feathers to
John Krieger. beet farmer. living
near Glendora, Mich, at Hamilton,
Ind, they may be indicted on either
one or two counts. The first is RI
Otous conspiracy, which in the event
Of conviction carries a prison SEN
tencc OF from two to 10 years with d
fine not to exceed $4,000. The sec
Cnd is on the acid throwing statute
which would apply. since it is said
the tar contained creosOte and the
tar badly burned Krieger. This stat
ute is designed TO prevent the throw
/ ing Of any irritating or cOrrodinS
substance. Ii carries the same pen
atty as the first charge.
Because OF the fact that those in
volvcd in the tar and feather case
reside in Michigan, any arrests that
might be made would lie made by the
sheriff of Berrien county. and If
necessary, extradition resorted 10.
] Because several automobiles were
nIed with men. there may be a doz-
en- indicted by the grand jurors.
Warrants on all secret indictments
were ordered by Judge Funk TO be
held secret until after arrests had
I been made.
Il is said that reports published
IN the newspaper following the ap-
plication Of the coat Of tar and
feathers assigning as a motive for
the act that Krieger had burned his
wife in attempting TO force her 10
take carbolic acid were erroneous.
Il could not be ascertained Monday
but il was said that another reason
was behind the assault which might
come to light later, although Krieger
at the time was having trouble with
his wife.
Three Face Statutory Charges.
Indictments were returned in three
cases OF men charged with serious
statutory crimes. A true bill was
voted in the case OF Claudis Freed,
