The ruling marks the climax in
the long, hard fought legal battle
for the freedom of Stephenson,
waged ever since the arrest of the
trio April 20 at Indianapolis.
Hearing Last Week
Hearing on the motion was held
before Judge Hines last week, and
partook largely Of the nature of an
actual trial. In attempting TO prove
it's contention the evidence in the
hands of the state did not Justify
a murder charge, the defense called
important state witnesses to the
stand, including Miss Oberholtzer's
parents, her brother Marshall; DIR.
John K. Kingsbury, her physician,
and Miss Beatrice Spratley, registered
nurse. who attended Miss Oberholtz-
er in her final illness. The conten
tion of the defense throughout was
that the young woman's death was
a clear case of suicide.
The defense fought hard at first to
gain possession of the dying state
ment of Miss Oberholtzer in which
she told a story of kidnapping, attack
and maltreatment, March Is, cul-
minating in taking of poison by her
at Hammond, Ind, the day follow
ing. She said she then was rushed
back to indianapolis by, automobile.
and kept prisoner in a garage in the
rear Of Stephenson home and de-
MED opportunity to obtain medical
assistance for herself. until March
II, when she was taken home. She
died at her home April IA.
Statement Saved Intact
Successful in it's attempt to in.
spect the dying declaration. the de.
Tense then centered it's attack upon
1t, attempting to exclude vital parts
from. evidence. Prosecutor William
II. Remy was successful in his fight
to save the statement intact and
have it placed in evidence.
Regardless Of Judge Hines ruling,
appeal to the Indiana Supreme
Court is considered certain.
What effect the decision of Judge
Hines today will have on the trial
date OF the case is a matter of
speculation among lawyers. Many
predict that If the trio Is admitted
to bail every effort to bring the
case to trial at an early date will
be resisted vigorously. On the other
hand, an adverse decision may bring
about an agreement for an early
date.
Remy from the firsr has agreed
to speedy trial.
Stephenson, Klinck and Gentry
were arrested April 20. For a time
they were confined in Marion County
Jail but were transferred to Mobiles
vile when their case was taken to
Hamilton County on a change of
venue.

AYTON. Tenn, June 25.-"I
D reckon nothing should be
taught in the schools which
goes against The Book. / want my
kids satisfied with The Book, and
nothing more"
Mrs. Fanny B. Olinger stopped
her team on dizzy point atop the
mountain to answer a few ques-
tions about her belief in evolution
ary theories.
Mrs. Fanny B. Olinger is one of
the reasons why a great mental war
sputters and sizzles in the town of
Dayton, 1000 feet below the little
general mountain store which she
runs part way between kdyuka and
Ogden"

And this voice has merely under
scored a thousand times throughout
the craggy State Of Tennessee the
voice of Mrs. Fanny Olinger saying;

nothing that goes against The

SoIons Heard "Voice"
And it was because of this mighty
voice shouting from the mountain
peaks of the State that the Tennes-
see Legislature dared last spring to
write it's anti-evolution law and say
that no school child within the State
Of Tennessee should ever be taught
that some folks believe that the first
man looked little different from his
own pappy.
I'VE mountain folks are too busy
working and getting our grub to
think much about things" said Mrs.
Fanny Olinger, perched atop her
wobby supply wagon, powder from
her flour bags dusty on her damp
face.
'But we got The Book and we got
to stick by The Book
The Mrs. Fanny Olingers are
afraid to yield an inch. For If they
yield once, what then? Are they
not permitting the hosts of doubt
to descend upon their faith fastness
and beset them with worry and fear?

that maybe the first man was cell,
or a COB of jelly or a thing called

How square this with The Book?
Surely God, In whose image man was

ATHENS, June 25.-The
government of Greece fell to-
day before armed revolution
lists. The Michaelacopoulos cab
met resigned. The president
asked NJ. Papanastassiou to
form a new government, but
the revolutionists, led by army
and navy officers, appear to be
complete masters of the situa-
ton throughout Greece.
Public Demand
Junta revolutionary officers oc-
oupy all the public buildings in
Athens. General Pangalos directed
.ebelling military officers and men.
Admiral Hadjikriacos led naval
.orces.
The revolt is nationwide.
General Pangalos in statement

"The Greek army and navy have
instituted revolution in response

ing of just and efficient administra-
ion, to restrict the reckless squan-
1ering of finance followed by the
present government, which we de-
nand resign forthwith. We also in
send to completely reorganize the
lrmy."
Third Success
Success today marked the third
rise to national power of Pangalos,
leader of the military rebels. At the
head of insurectionists in 1922, he
conducted a successfui campaign
against Greek royalists. Again when
he returned from the turkish cam
paign the following year, he was
appointed military governor Of
Athens.
The appointment was made, it is
said, to preclude his second ambition
to overthrow the government. He
was considered 'the power behind

ican government which he apparent
y has overthrown completely
