Stephenson Isn't
Law to Me-Remy
Prosecutor Charges De-
fense Is Trying to
'HoodWink' State.
Times Stnn Correspondent

NOBLESVILLE, Ind, July g.
ID. c. Stephenson may claim to be
the law, but he isn't the law which
governs my conduct In this case or
any other case" Prosecutor William
II. Remy told Judge Fred Il. Hines
today I'm a formal statement, de-
manding that Stephenson be placed
on trial first on the charge OF
numbering Miss Madge oberholtzer
Of indianapolis
The statement in full:
"As prosecuting attorney of
Marion County, I am here with my
associates to assist the court in the
trial of David c. Stephenson,
charged with homicide. am not
here for the trial Of Earl Gentry or
Earl Klinck at this time.
Evidence Before Judge
These three defendants were in.
dicted together and for the same
offenses, but their Is no doubt in
the mind OF any one as 10 where
the weight OF the responsibility lies.
The evidence. already adduced in
the petition to be let 10 bail Is be-
fore the court, and from the char.
acter Of that testimony, the theory
of the prosecution has become APP
parent.
"If the State Is able too make
out n case against the defendant
Stephenson Il will proceed against
Gentry and Klinck as soon as pos
sible.
eff the State Is unable to make
case against Stephenson II goes
without saying that II would be
unable to convict the other two
defendants, who, under our the
Ory, merely assisted In the crime
charged.
In such a case as this. ordinar-
lily the defendant whom the State
expects TO hold chiefly responsible
would be tried first. Any other
order Of trial would be unwise and
inexpedient from every standpoint.
1t would be unwise In that II would
disclose the States case to the chief
defendant before his trial.
Formal Demand
"The State has heretofore indi.
Gated 10 the court It's preference in
this matter. The State now formal.
ly elects TO try the defendant Steph-
enson first. As tho case stands now,
all three Of these defendants must bo
tried separately.
THE fact that only two have re.
quested a severance does not change
the actual situation. Since all three
must be tried separately, the state
claims the right to determine tho
order OF their trial.
"In this request we rely upon
the uIvarying practice Of the
courst. During the nineteen
months have served as prosecut.
ing attorney, and during the year
and a hall prior thereto, when /
served as chief deputy. this right
was never questioned, II has al
ways been the practice In Indiana
ana tnrOugnOut the country gen
orally. We find no precedent In
the annals of the Criminal Courts
Of Indiana where the court has
compelled the state TO proceed
against its will In n matter Of this
sort.
