Stephenson swore vehemently and

Although the disappointment at
the naming of Chief Johnson came
in the midst of Stephenson trial in

Klan leaders, intense interest in In
dianapolis politics overshadowed the
seriousness of the criminal charge
against him.
Forgetting, for the moment, the

in a passionate denunciation Of Du
vail and dived into a mass of docu-
ments piled on his bunk a foot high,
throwing papers right and left, Chris

Christian has been subpoenaed to
