A ROOT CELLAR IN
THE WHITE HOUSE.

Soon alter PRESIDENT
Coolidge succeeded to the
|office of President a reporter
asked him if he did not ex-
|pect an early visit from his
father. The reply was:
f'Well, fathers a pretty busy
man; but perhaps if there
|were a root cellar in the
White House he might be in
duced to come"
To a mans mother his
glory is hers. She would
like to sit for hours at his
Elbow, feeding her interest
on every shred of the pomp
hnd circumstance that sur
round his official position.
She loves the soft purr of the
wheels of administration.
She delights too see her little
ion of long ago now courted
by grave and reverend Sen
ltors and obsequious Office
(eekers. She would like at
lines to withdraw him from
The watchfulness of secretar-
es and secret-service guards
Rnd take him to her heart
(nd rumple his hair, and
hen straighten his tie and
'mooth his thinning locks and
end him forth again as her
Fery own, to confront the
ong line of waiting politi-
(ians.
But mans father feels
constrained not to express
III his pride in a son that has
chieved greatness. The
hid has become lost in the
nan and is to be considered
saman, apart from the ties
hnship. The father does
ot teel that his sons eleva-
l0n to high place and power

Bank Asked Probe
The investigation which led to the
charges against McCray was started
at the request Of the Marion National
Bank. This bank held approximately
$4,000 worth of McCray paper and
was one Of some 200 creditors.
When the bank made the request.
William p. Evans, county prosecutor,
asked to be relieved of the duty of
conducting the investigation Evans
Is a son-ln-law of McCray. Judge
James A. Collins of the Criminal Court
appointed Charles w. Moores, U. S.
commissioner, to conduct the investi-
cation.
The inquiry was started Oct. 5.
Every possible precaution was taken
to insure secrecy. Policemen We're
stationed on the third floor of the
Courthouse, shutting off all that half
the third floor which contains the
grand jury room.
Deep Secrecy Observed
AS the inquiry started Judge Collins
called in the members Of the jury and
instructed them it was their duty to
investigate all law violations occurring
within Marion County. At the same
time, Moores requested any one with
information to present it. Newspaper
men were told that every effort would
be made to protect witnesses from the
curious and that witnesses would be
asked not to tell their names to ques-
TONERS.
The first witnesses before the jury
were Gus S. Condo, Marion attorney;
E. 2. Blackburn president of the Ma
rion National Bank. and Hume L.
Sammons, Kentland attorney, who is
attorney in numerous suits filed
against McCray. Later employees of
McCray whose names appeared on
notes were called. There was every
indication that the investigation was
to be thorough.
MoCray will be tried, If the case
comes to trial, in Criminal Court here
Many Witnesses Called
Because of the Illness of Moores,
the grand jury investigation II first
dragged along slowly. LaterH after
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1923-11-30

Clarence W. Nichols, had been named
special prosecutor and placed In
charge the investigation was pushed
vigorously. Bankers from various
parts Of the State, State officials, for
mer officials, and persons connected
with McCray's financial transactions
were called as witnesses. Meantime
hearing on the bankruptcy petition
filed in Federal Court opened before
Harry C. Sheridan, referee, and Nc
Cray was on the witness stand for the
greater part of five days.
In accordance with intentions he
frequently had expressed, McCray,
about a week ago. wrote a letter to
the foreman of the grand Jury re-
questing permission to appear before
that body. Not receiving an answer
he issued a statement saying It would
be unfair to indict him without first
having heard his testimony. Nichols
stated that 1t would be against the
law to permit the Governor to appear.

Robbery was again brought
forward today as a motive for
the murder Of Mrs. Helen Whel-
chel, 1854 Applegate ST., with
the discovery Of her pocketbook
by Ray F. Underwood, 335 S.
Taft St, on the north side Of the
Rockville Rd., fifty feet west of

empty, with the exception of a
small coin purse. 1t was identi-
fed by Miss Edna Uphaus, 81

ditional clews.

With the discovery OF the pocket
book detectives redoubled their efforts
to trace tho slayer who kidnapped
Mrs. Whelchel at Iowa and East St,
at midnight Tuesday and later drove
to the High School road bridge, one
mile north of Ben Davis. The body
was thrown over the bridge between
the tracks OF the Big Four Railroad

Her lost slipper is near that pock-
etbook, and when I'm able I'll take

father, Francis Hager. Jr., today
when informed the pocketbook had

Detectives believe the murderer
looted tie pocketbook while return
ing to the city after tossing the body
over the bridge. The fact that 1t
was found on the north side OF the
road indicated It was thrown from an
eastbound car. The pocketbook was
lined with yellow silk with two long

This is not a personal matter
Nichols said, in making It empha &c
the Governor would not be permitted
to testify in his own behalf. 1T Is a
legal matter and 1 will not disobey the
law"
Following is the letter Of James w.
Noel, McCray's attorney, to o. L.
Miller, foreman Of the grand jury,
dated Nov. %:
Dear Sir--Early in the progress of
the investigation with reference to the
Warren T. McCray matters. Charles
W. Moores. then special prosecutor.
said to me that Governor McCray
should have fun opportunity 20 ap-
pear before the grand jury and tes-
tify concerning matters brought to It's
attention by other witnesses respect
ing him. Mr.. Moores is now Ill, and,
1 am informed. has had no oppor-
tunity to converse with Clarence w.
Nichols, the present special prosecu-
tor. on the subject
we desire to notify the grand jury,
through you. that Warren T. McCray
desires to appear before the grand
jury before the completion of its In
vestigation of his matters. and to tes-
tify concerning them. and he hereby
requests that opportunity be given
him so to do.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1923-11-30
Desires to Assist

THE charges which appear by the
newspapers and public talk to have
been brought to the attention of the
grand jury are so seriouis and reflect
so much upon his reputation and the
dignity Of the office which he holds
that 1t is clearly due him and to the
public as a matter of justice and right,
and is Of public concern, that he be
permitted to give such information to
the grand jury as will assist It IN ar
riving at a correct and just result IN
its investigations. Further than that,
as a private citizen, he asks this as
a matter OF pure justice.
I'VE assume, Of course. that the
grand jury desires to ascertain the
facts in these matters and Governor
NIcCray is willing to waive his con-
stitutionaI privilege in the premises in
order to do what he can to enlighten
the grand jury in these matters.
''I would be glad to be advised as
to the time at which Governor Nc
Cray may appear before the grand
jury"
