Stephenson Motion Denied
Judge Hines Announces He
Is Ready to Try Trio
Immediately.
is PUZZLED BY DEFENSE
Does Not Understand Move
for New Hearing.
BY Blythe Q. Hendricks
Times Staff CorresDOndent


NOBLESVILLE, Ind, July
29.-Immediate trial for D. G.
Stephenson, Earl Klinck and
Earl Gentry, charged with the
murder of Miss Madge Ober-
holtzer of Indianapolis, was
made possible today by action
of Judge Fred E. Hines of
Hamilton Circuit Court. Judge
Hines overruled the motion of
the defense for a rehearing of
it's petition to admit the de-
fendents to bail.
At the same time he said he was
ready to call a special term Of court
at any time to try them. He said
they were in Jail wholly through
heJoIjgn actions as they had chosen
to remain in Jail rather than to
stand trial.
Judge Puzzled
In making his ruling Judge Hines
said:
II have more difficulty in under
standing why this motion was filed
or an immediate ruling asked than
have in knowing what the ruling
should be. Petitions to be admitted
to bail or habeaus corpus proceed
ings can be filed at any time. An
other might be filed Immediately
without taking an appeal on an old
one. At the original hearing, the
court denied the petition to admit
the defendents to bail on the theory
that either could be tried. The
court was willing to set down the
cases for trial and did so within a
week.
There might be some question
as to motion Of this character be-
ing sustained as to some of the de-
PENDANTS and overruled as to others.
The court will over-rule this mo-
ton.
Ready to Try
"The court is willing at this time
to call a special term of court to
try these defendants. They could
have been tried at any time they
were ready BY their own conduct
the defendants chose to remain in
Jail rather than to be tried.
There are no grounds now for
filing a petition to admit them to
bail, because they can be tried now.
The court is willing to take up all
of its time if necessary between now
and October trying these cases."
Ralph Waltz the only defense at
torney present asked thirty days
in which to prepare a bill of excep-
tions, usually preliminary step to
appeal.
Thomas E. Kane represented the
State, but took no part in the pro-
ceedings.

Large Loss in Valuation
Blasts Hopes.

Based on the pure arithmetic of

Under the 2S-cent levy. applied to
a total State valuation of $5,362 ,SO4,-

amount needed next year, nothing
but an increase in the rate can be
