HOLD CONFERENCE WITH
CLIENTS IN JAIL CELL
Petition ReiterateS Claim
That Evidence Against
Men Held in 0berhoItzer
Case Is insufficient to Gre
ate Presumption of Guilt.
BY Blythe Q. Hendricks

Times staff COrresnondent
NOBLESVILLE, Ind, July
16.-Motion for a new trial on
the petition to admit to bail D.
G. Stephenson, Earl Klinck
and Earl Gentry, held in Ham
ilton County Jail on charge Of
numbering Miss Madge Ober-
holtzer, indianapolis, was filed
by attorneys with the clerk Of
the court here today.
Immediately following filing of the
motion, the defence attorneys, Eph
Inman. Alfred Cowan and X. r.
Johnson. Indianapolis, and Ralph
Waltz and Floyd Christian, Mobiles
vile, conferred with their clients in
tho pail.
The petition to admit TO bail was
denied by Judge Fred r. Hines. OF
Hamilton Circuit Court, last month.
Two Reasons
The two chief reasons set forth
by the defense are that the decision
Of the court is not sustained by suffi-
cient evidence and that the decision
is contrary to law.
About fourteen pages Of memoran-
DUN Is contained in the petition.
It is stated that the evidence Is
not sufficient to create a presump-
ton of guilt because 1t is apparent
the State relied upon the filed dec
laration of the principal factor in Its
case.

Claim Suicide


It Is also asserted that the state
ment itself shows Miss Oberholtzer
took bichloride of mercury with sui
cidal intent and attempted TO keep
the fact that she had taken II a
secret.
The motion states that testimony
Of medical experts shows none OF
Miss Oberholtzer's physical injuries
were sufficient to have caused her
DEATH.
The motion says in part:
"One of tn remarkable features
of the testimony concerning the al
legged filed declaration is that IT was
written in the law office of Asa
Smith and Griffith d. Dean, two
days before Madge Oberholtzer knew
of it's existence. But this remarkable
instrument is characterized as being
the statement of Madge Oberholtzer'
being in full possession Of her facul-
ties and having full knowledge OF
her impending death, and its strikes
one as being rather presumptious
on the part of these lawyers TO have
her characterize her condition and
describe her knowledge OF her condi-
ton as one of impending death two
days before she knew the instrument
had been written"
Peculiar incident
The facts that Dr. John K Kings
bury "just happened to be present.
when the lawyers presented the dy-
in gdeclaratio nto Madge Oberholtzer,
and that he told her then for the
first time that she could not re-
cover is characterized as a peculiar
incident"
The motion points out that st is
hard to understand, why It was II
on March 2s. 1925, all hope Of re-
covery had been abandoned. that on
April. 2, a blood TRANSMISSION could
have been resorted to forthe purpose
of saving her life"
It then goes ON to say that at
seems improbable that blood trans
fusion would have been resorted to
If the doctor knew in advance it
would do no good"
1t is not believed Judge Hines will
consider the motion before July 20,
when an adjourned session Of court
will be held.
As a matter OF face. he may refuse
to consider the motion at that time,
as the adjourned sesfIon was called
for certain specified matters and the
Stephenson case was not on the
list.

BANK OFFICIALS VIEWS
INCORRECTLY REPORTED
President Savage Did Not Approve
Banking Monopolies. As Was
Stated, He Declares.

Banking monopolieS were con-
iemned, not approved. by Francis NJ.
Savage, president of the Central Saw

cut Avenue Citizens Association
Wednesday night, he said today, in
explaining that he had been misinter-
preted and had been misquoted by
The Star in it's account of his speech
Thursday.
Recalling his three-year fight against
branch banking, which, Mr.. Savage
said, leads inevitably to monopoly"
he declared this system discourages
thrift because depositors get a small
rate of interest. and also lessons the
chances for advancement for young
men engaged in the banking business.
The concentration of banks in Eng
land, France and Canada was pointed
to by Mr.. Savage as an evil which
retards the growth of communities, and
he said, the same trend is apparent
in this country now.
Mutual savings banks We're con-
demned by Mr.. Savage. who said the
depositors receive interest at the rate
of per cent or better.

Sheriff. IS FETED
BY DIVISION CHIEFS
Rush of Development Under
His Regime Pointed Out
by G. E. Clark.

Lieut.. Col. Clarence Q. Sheriff., dI
rector of the office of public building
and public parks of the National CAPT
tai, was feted last night at the
Racquet Club by chiefs and assistant
chiefs Of divisions of the Office which
he is reSigniug to become city man
ager of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Much of the recent development Of
the city was due TO the efforts Of Col.
Sheriff., according To speakers. who
expressed regret at his leaving, but
felicitated Cincinnati on acquiring him
as city manager.
Under his enthusiastic and far
sighted guidance the idea of a compre-
hensive park system for the National
Capital and outlying districts has been
galvanized into new life" said G.. L.
Clark.
Has Sped Work.
In the four short years of his In
cumbency more steps have been taken
toward a really satisfactory solution
of the District park system than in
all the preceding years of its history.
The acquisition of land for park pur
poses has gone forward at an IN
precedented rate in spite of all the
laws delays and the insolence of land
owners
problems of legislation" continued
Mr. Clark, have been met and con
quered The Memorial Bridge, which
has been under consideration for half
a century, more or less, is now an
assured fact While public sentiment
has gradually come to acquieSce IL
this project, it Is by no means a coin
cidence that its fulfllment should
have occurred during the regime OF
Col. Sheriff.. II is the result of hard
consistent, enthusiastic work on the
part of the retiring director, and will
now stand as a monument to his en-
ergy and as thing of beauty and Of
just pride to the whole country"
Sees Bright Future.
While expressing regret at the com
ing departure of Col. Sheriff., Mr..
Clark said that fortunately we, and
the District of Columbia as well, can
console ourselves with the thought
| that Col. Sheriff. will be succeeded by
a man who will prosecute his unfin
ished work with zeal and ability. and
who, in his previous career, has shown
that initiative which augurS well for
the future activity and usefulness of
this office. If 1 should venture upon
the ticklish path of prophecy. l would
foretell an era of helpful public serv-
j., ice for the office of public building
and public parks equal to that which
has just ended.
