firing questions at you" the judge
laughed. IL don't see how even a
good attorney would get by"
Cause told the court he had as
sured Julian that he will not be
prosecuted for any crime connected
with the disposal of the boxes.
"There is no need for fear on Ju-
Iians part" Wiltsie stated. Frenzy
has assured me of this"
First Clash Early
The preliminary clash between
Remy and Kiplnger took place early
this morning when Remy took TO
Judge Wiltsie a list Of questions
Julian had refused to answer iINor-
der that Wutsie might look them
over before he filed his motion.
II am going 70 make his man
come through" Remy declared.
At the same time Remy indicated
he would fight to bar kiplinger
from taking any further part in
the court arguments on Jul;an's
testimony.
Because Kiplinger is Stephenson s
attorney he has no right to have ac-
cess to Julian testimony before the
grand jury concerning Stephenson,
Remy declared.
1T seems a queer situatioD~to me, "
Remy said, when the court has
order the grand jury to investigate
affairs of y. c. Stephenson, TO have
one of his attorneys trying to get
Stephenson out Of the penitentiary
advising witness testifyinG in re-
gard to Stephenson affairs before the
grand jury. I certainly am not go
ing to consent 20 have any testi-
mony taken before the grand jury
concerning Stephensons affairs read
by one Of his attorneys"
Remy made this statement after
he and Kiplinger clashed in the
judges chambers when Kiplinser at
tempted to see the transcript Of the
grand jury testimony Remg had pre-
scented the judge.
Kiplinger came into the Judge s
office shortly after Remy had turned
the questions over to Wiltsie.
IT guess it's conceded Kiplinger
has the right to be present" Wiltsie
said.
IT don't know" replied Remy
"Kiplinger is Stephenson's s, attorney
and we are examining witness
about Stephenson.
Refuses Evidence
When Wiltsie asked if Kiplinger
might see the evidence, Remy re.
fused.
"No sir" Remy replied" It looks
mighty funny that an Evansville
man should go to Rushville to get
an attorney to advice him what to
testify to before the grand jury"
Remy and Kiplinger then ex-
changed caustic comments and
Wiltsie took a hand by denying he
and Kipllnger were in conference
when Julian was first brought into
Criminal Court, Monday.
THE papers had better state the
records properly or I'll know the
reason why" ne declared.
Jullan's first refusal to testify
Monday came 80 minutes after he en-.
tered the juryroom. The question
was whether or not he had received
two strong boxes from Steph-
enson. The judge ruled that he
must answer. and he replied in the
affirmative. This led to further ques-
tioning, and when asked If he knew
wherye the boxes are he again re-
fused to answer and was taken into
court. Once more the judge ordered
that the answer be given.
The boxes. often alluded to during
the investigation, are thought to
have contained the documents upon
which Stephenson based his charges
of political corruption in Indiana.
Publicity given to these charges
resulted in the grand jury investiga-
ton into political corruption, which
entered upon its fifth week Monday.
Kiplinger on Hand
Kiplinger was at courthouse all
day, and each time that Jul
ian, his client, was brought into
court he rushed to his defense and
pleaded with the judge to prevent
the questions from being answered.
In each case he, too, claimed that the
questions were of an discriminating
nature and that Julian was within
his constitutional rights in refusing
to answer them.
Prosecutor Remy. Attorney Gen.
eral Gilliom and Assistant Prosecu.
tors Niblack and Sheaffer and Spe.
cial Assistant Fred Cause all were
on hand to support the questioneTs'
contention that the queries should be
answered.
They explained to the judge that
Julian had denied any knowledge OF
the contents of the boxes and there
fore could not be held liable in any
criminal prosecution. The witness,
according to Gilliom, had said that
so far as he knew the boxes may
have been empty, that he did not
have a key and had no knowledge
whatever Of what was contained in
them.
