D. c. STEPHENSON
Former Khan Chief Refused
Writ Until Indiana ST.

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, December
31.-Declining to act on a question
which now confronts the lndlana
Supreme Court in the same case
Tudlra Harry l.. CrumpaCker of La
porte Superior Court, Yesterday as
charged a, petition for q writ of habcaS
cornl,s Inv which u. G. stephenson
sought his release from the Indiana
state Prison. where ne is serving Il
life term for murder.
Stephenson had sought the writ on
the ground that his trial IN the
Hamilton Circuit Court III 1870 tor
the murder of Madge Oberholtzcr, In
dianapolis girl. was invalid because
the clerk of the Marion Circuit Court
failed to Sign the transcript when a
change of venue was taken.
Calling attention to the fact that
Stephenson had raised the same queS-
ton in his appeal from the murder
conviction, now pending in the Su-
preme Court, Judge Crumpacker said
that "the Supreme Court today, with
in a week or a month may give you
the relief that you are seeking to
have this court give you now.
Makes Final Appeal.
II am satisfied as a matter of cold
blooded law that You are not entitled
to this writ. You are not going to be
deprived of any right by the denial
of this writ
Amid dramatic silence. the former
grand dragon of the IN kluX Khan

complete discharge and on this side q
new trial I would seize ON the new
trial to vindicate myself in a trial on
it's merits" Stephenson declared.
MANY would like to see any kind
of proceedings stopped that have to
do with y. G.. Stephenson. / challenge
these men to take me back before Il
court and let me tell the truth. The
trial at NOblesville, in Hamilton
County, was a moCkerY of law" he
added.
John X. kiplinSer. chief IF coun.
sci for Stephenson, said he probably
would file an Immediate appeal from
Judge Crumpacker's decision with the
Indiana Supreme Court in an effort
to get quick action.
StephenSUn'S move in taking up his
own case and the adverse decision
ended q hearing of two days. AttOr-
neys for the State asserted that the
Laporte Superior Court lacked juriS
diction. and that when Stephenson
voluntarily submitted himself for trial
in Hamilton County he recognized the
validity of the change of venue.
Downcast, hut preserving the un-
bending attitude he has maintained
through nearly two years Of uniform
ly adverse court actions, Stephenson
shook hands with few friends and
submitted himself again to the GUS
tody of prison guards. Surrounded by
"a group of heavily armed men he was
