NEW DOCUMENTS
TO Be SOUGHT IN
CORRUPTION QUIZ
Man Living in Northern In
diana City May Be Brought
Before Jury.

An effort to obtain new evidence
for presentation before the Marion
County grand jury in its investiga-
ton Of alleged graft and corruption
in Indiana politics will be made
Friday. it became known today. A
man living in a northern Indiana
city is expected to be brought be-
fore the grand jury soon.
1t is said that he has certain docu-
ments relating to political deaIs.
The evidence which he possesses is
not in direct relation to the activi-
ties of D. C. Stephenson, former
"old man" of the Khan who is serv-
ing a life sentence in Indiana State
Prison for the murder of Madge
Oberholtzer.
Friday Move Question
Whether or not the probe body
will resume the corruption quiz Fri
day was still in question. Prosecutor
William H. Remy said he had not
decided what could be done Friday.
The jury shelved the corruption quiz
all this week and the jurors enjoyed
a Thanksgiving day vacation today.

trial for Stephenson on the murder
charge is expected at any time.
He will base his move on the fact
that County Clerk Albert II. Losche
did not sign the transcript Of the
case when it was taken to the Ham
ilton County Circuit Court from the
Marion Criminal Court. For this rea-
son, Kiplinger will declare that the
Hamilton court was without juris-
diction in the matter.

DEFENSE MEETS
EVERY POINT IN
HALL MILLS CASE
No Detail Too Small in Most
Carefully Planned
Action.

BIZ Untted Press
SOMERvILLE, N. j., Nov. 25.-
AS carefully prepared a defense case
as ever was presented in a court
room soon will be before the jury
in the Hall-Mills trial.
The seven counsel retained by Mrs.
Frances Stevens Hall and her
brothers, Henry and Willie Stevens,
have essayed in minute detail to de-
fend their clients from charges of
murder in connection with the death,
four years ago, of the Rev. Edward
w. Hall and Mrs. Eleanor r. Mills.
Step by step the testimony of
States witnesses has been met with
evidence calculated to refute or at
least to balance that presented by
Special Prosecutor Alexander Simp-
son. No point in the States case
has been considered too minor to
escape attempted rebuttal.
The highlights of the defense thus
far have come with the testimony Of
the Stevens brothers, speaking from
the witness stand in their own be-
half. Mrs. Hall probably will tes-
tify tomorrow. There was no ses-
sion Of the trial today.
AS an example of the minutia
dealt in by attorneys for both sides,
one might take the testimony of a
milkman. called by the State to say
that there was a door open at the
rear of the Hall home in the early
Of Sept. Is, 1922, and that
he was forced to close the door be-
fore proceeding on his route.
To Offset Mis-, the defense called
an architect to establish there was
no door that turned outward in the
rear Of the Hall house.

will be applied to maintenance of
the church and help defray its ac-
tivities.
1000 Seats in Community Hall
In a community hall done In cream
and black marble, 1000 people may
listen to weekly musicales, watch
motion pictures, or attend amateur
theatricals.
The roof of the church has been
made to yield a fine open-air tennis
court, which can be converted at
will into an open-air theater or COW
cred play yard for children.
The entire cost of the various
units to date has been $792,S25.
Eventually the church hopes to ex-
tend it's social help into the city's
courts and pals.
Where Life Streams Converge
From the heart of city radiates
it's life and influence" DR.. Seaman
comments. THAT is why our church
was put where it Is.
Then came the plan of service, a
plan for a church open seven days
a week, a church presenting the
beautiful in music and architecture,
a church providing Christian educa-
tional features, healthfhl recreation,
and clean entertainment
For youth and age, and, above all,
church spreading by deed and word
the spirit of Christian friendliness."

BLAMED IN
BOND Thief 7
Believed That Robber Hid IN
Basement or on Mezza-
nine Floor of Bank.

That the thief who stole S71, son
in Liberty bonds from the j. T.. wild
& Co. Bank, 1913 e. Market St, hid
in the basement or on the mezzaniue
floor and slipped into the bond cage
when confederate called away the
man in charge last Friday, was one
of the chief theories followed today
by detectives investigating the case.
The theft was not learned publicly
until Wednesday.
Officials, describing the layout of
the bank, said that a runway eN.
tends behind all TIE teller cages ami
the cashiers and bond cages. The
doors leading from the runway to
the basement and the mezzanine
floor are side by side and are d.
rectly opposite the door to the bond
cage.
Received Call
A II. Humphrey, who is in charge
Of the bond cage, recalls that on Fri
day he received a telephone call
from an unknown source and during
the time that he was answering the
call the cage was left unguarded.
When he reached the phone the per-
son calling had hung up. That was
the only time that no one was in the
cage during the day, he said.
Belief expressed that, while he
was out of the cage and at the
phone, the thief slipped out of one
or the other Of the doors and into
the cage, where, in a minute, he
could seize the bonds. Liberty bonds .
are all easily negotiable, without
question.
September. 1928. s21 900 worth Of
bonds were stolen at the Indiana Ma /
tional Bank. In this case 1t is re- /.
called that the bond official of the 4
company was called across the lob. .
by to answer a telephone, and after
trying to get some one on the line
to answer, returned to his desk to I
find the bonds missing. Later the |
thief was arrested in Canada IN con
nection with another bond theft and /
never returned here for trial, al /
though some Of the bonds were re-
covered.
Check Verifles Amount
It at first was thought that the /
days supply of bonds, totalllng !
$271, 900 had been taken at the Wild
Bank, but a check verified the
$71,500 amount. This is covered by
$75, 900 insurance with the Standard
Accident Insurance Company at
Detroit.
Interest in the theft rs increased
by the fact that on the same day of
the theft a man posing as a sales.
man for a banking supply house,
held up employees of the Rural st.
branch, Fletcher Savings and Trust
Company, and escaped with $4,000
in money. Employees of the Wild
bank say that man of the same
general description, posing as q !
supply salesman, was in that bank
the day before.
Local police have not been notified
Of the theft and private detectives /,
are working on the case. Humphrey I
said that serial numbers of the ,
missing bonds will be sent out at
once, in an effort to forstall cashlng
of the bonds.
