The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1925-11-06

James Carter, fellow deputy
sheriff of Marion County with
KIinck during March this year,
when the alleged crime happened,
was the first witness to take the
stand i'm Klincks behalf. He testl-
fled that klinck was around the
jaiI Sunday morning, March Is,
and left saying he was going TO
Terre Haute, and he further testi-
fled TO KIincIS's doing on Monday
and Tuesday.
Leonard Koffell. and William An
derson, two other deputy sherffs,
are expected to take the stand this
afternoon.
Carter followed DIR. John w. Will
liams, Indianapolis physician, who
was grilled numerically by Attor-
ney Charles r. Cox for the State, in
an attempt to defeat the defense's
theory that Miss OberholtZer com
mitted suicide.
Indications were also that wit
nesses to testify to the character of
Miss Oberholtzer would be called to
take the stand for the defense. At
least one Irvington woman has been
summoned.
Holmes in Charge
Defense Attorney Ira M. Holmes
was particular to bring out Klinck's
whereabouts about noon on Tuesday.
March II, the time at which the
huge deputy sheriff is alleged to
have carried the poisoned girl into
her Irvington home, according to
her dying statement.
al saw him i'm the jail at about
8:15 a. M. Tuesday morning" said
Carter. "T saw him take more
prisoners from the Jail and leave
for the Indiana St,Ite Farm with
them"
This reference to the Indiana State
Farm was ordered struck out on the
theory that Carter had no personal
knowledge OF what Klinck actually
did after he was out of his sight,
but Attorney Holmes got it all to
the jury by a series Of clever ques-
tions.
when did you next see him?"
asked Holmes.
Busy Day
"About II or 1870 in the forenoon.
He came back to the table where
the officers eat. 1 was with him the
rest Of the day"
Deputy Klinck put in a busy
day OH March II, the date of
Madge's return, according to tes-
timOny. Starting out with the trip
to the farm, near Greencastle,
KIinck ate lunch and then the two
deputies went out on the National
Rd. near Memorial Park Cemetery,
and made an arrest. They made
three other arrests, also that after
noon. Next, Klinck took cOIored
girl, Frankie Knight, to the In
diana WOman's prison.
''I left him after O'Clock that
day." said Carter.
According to the States testimony
already in Klirck delivered the Pull
man tickets to the conductor at the
Union Station, but did not go on the
trip. He was next mentioned by
Madge as taking her home from the
garage, in the rear Of fthe Stephen
son home, and carrying her upstairs
to her own bed in her mothers
house, giving the name Of ''Mr. John
son Of Kokomo."
Prosecutor William II. Remy
cross examined Carter.

12, you and Klinck?" Remy asked.
"Wait till / look up my notes"
said Deputy Carter pulling out
notebook.
Remy Takes Notes

Remy, taking them. Defense at.
torneys objected and Remy gave
them back smiling. after reading
them.

called Attorney Holmes.
You'll hear me in minute"
"Well, / want to hear you now"
retorted Holmes.
"YOu were deputy sheriff when
Mr.. Stephenson was indicted?"
