FAINT HOPE OF
WRIT TO STEVE
Attorneys Argue on Habeas
Corpus Appeal.

That D. c. Stephenson, serving a
life term in the Indiana State
Prison Immediately will not win his
freedom on writ Of habeas cor
pus was indicated today, when oral
arguments were heard by the Su-
preme Court on appeal from La
Porte Superior Court.
Argument of John H. Kiplinger
of Rushville, Stephenson's counsel
in appeals to Indiana's highest
court, was interrupted several times
by Judge David Myers.
Shortly after Kiplinger got under
way, Myers suggested that the at
torney was attacking the jurisdic-
ton of the Hamilton Circuit Court
where Stephenson was convicted of
murder and not the decision of
Judge Harry L. Crumpacker of La
Porte, who refused the writ last
December.
Kiplinger contended, as he did at
the hearing in La Porte Superior
Court, that because the transcript
of the Marion Criminal Court was
not attested by the Marion County
clerk before sending it to Mobiles
vile, where the case was tried, that
it was void.

Nothing to Warrant Speedy
Investigation Contained
in Message, Declares
] Prosecutor.

Nothing to warrant any imme-
date investigation was contained in
the message from D. G. Stephenson
former Republican boss of Indiana
carried today to Prosecutor William
H. Remy by Robert H. Moore,
Stephenson's attorney, from Mich
igan City, according to Remy.
Moore and Remy breakfasted at
the Columbia Club. They were to-
gether for more than an hour.
Stephenson several days ago,
through Moore, issued from his cell
at Indiana State prison statement
that since he had been double
crossed" by high State officials he
now was ready to "tell ALL"
Remy was as reticent after talk
ing with Moore as he was in COM
menting upon Stephenson'S first
statement.
He indicated then that Stephen
son had disappointed officials so
many times that he did not have
much faith in his latest promise
Remy said today, however, that
his talk with Moore was salts
factory" He said whether he went
to Michigan City to give Stephenson
an opportunity to elaborate upon
his message depends upon develop
ments here.
A number of more pressing
matters must be cleared up" here
first, the prosecutor said.

power-of- attorney from him num-
Der 1872.
He has sent 1913 letters to attor-
neys. Some letters were not deliv-
cred to petitioner because they were
not signed or were so signed that
identity of writer could not be es-
tablished and under the rules could
not be received by prisoner.
Some letters written by him were
not sent to persons addressed, be-
cause they contained matters for
hidden by the rules. Some OF these
were returned to prisoner, others
held by the warden in his files.
Power of Attorney Given
b. Soon after entering the prison
Warden DAILY advised petitioner
that he could not conduct his bust
ness from the institution; that he
would have to give some one power
of-attorney or authorize his attor-
neys to take care of it for him.
According to the-evidence includ-
ing prisoners own statement, pow
ers-of attorney we're delivered by
him to at least four different per-
sons of his own selection who con-
ferred with him a number OF times
under the usual prison regulations.
We find no evidence that his
choice of attorney in fact was ever
denied.
c. Prisoner admits visits and cor
respondence with attorneys-at-law,
persons holding power f-attorney
from him, and business associates.
He has been given special writing
privileges in regard to business al
fairs: also the privilo~s Of receiving
and sending kilograms to some OF

ers under like circumstances. NO
prisoner is permitted, while IN
prison, personally to conduct his
business, but must delegate au-
thority to an attorney or business
associate, and we believe that Ste
phenson has had ample opportunity
| to do that.
D. g. E. The records show, and
period from Sept. 20, 1926, to date
of this inquiry there was no inter-
ruption of his visits or correspon-
dence except while he was in Sc
clusion, from Oct. to "a, 1925;
from Nov. IL to Dec. 20, 1926, dur

confinement March 81 to 80, 1927.

prisoners are not permitted to give
interviews to newspapers. The

board is of the opinion that War
den DAILY was within his rights in
denying this privilege to Stephen
son.
II. MISTREATMENT
The board is of the opinion that
the evidence does not sustain the
charges of cruelty and mistreatment
of prisoner as set forth in the petit
ton. This conclusion is based on
the following facts:
q. Prisoner refused to give any
facts or disclose any specific infor-
nation as to who threatened him
or in what manner. except that this
information was first received by
him from a source outside of the in
stitution and he would not disclose
any information as to its source.
b. In answer to the question of
what he meant by the statement
compelled to bow in obeisance," he
replied, That is not my language.
1t seems ambiguous and you are as
qualified to answer it as much as ]
am. I do not know what that state
ment refers to-"
Interview Held
/ He He also modified the state
ment as to the number of times he
was subjected to 'inquisitions" and
stated that he was interviewed five
or six times a day for three or more
successive days, in the wordens and
Deputy Warden's offices by the
Warden, Deputy Warden and John
Norman.
These officers state there were
but two interviews, one in the
Warden's office when Warden DAILY
Deputy Warden Claudy and Mr.
Craig, chief clerk, were present and
the other in the Deputy Warden's
Office, when Warden, Deputy
Warden and Mr.. Norman were
present.
Prisoner stated that officers and
prisoners on numerous occasions
questioned him and he was certain
they we're acting at suggestion OF

0bsessed With Idea That

Board Report.

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, July L.
Every charge of cruel and unusual
treatment of himself and of miscon-
duct by Indiana State Prison off,
Gals made by D. G. Stephenson, life
termer, was found baseless in the re-
port of the Indiana charities board
to prison trustees, made public at
the prison here this afternoon
The charities board members, who
investigated Stephenson's charges in
hearings here June 7, 8 and 9, re-
ported that rather than being denied
use of the mails and conference with
attorneys for the purpose of car
rying on his private business af-
fairs, the former grand dragon has
been given more privileges than most
prisoners.
When Stephenson was before the
charities board he withdrew and
modified many of his charges, par
ticularly withdrawing the charge
that he was showed down a stair
way in a plot to take his life, the
report says
Stephenson admitted the fall was
his own fault, according to the re-
port. The charities members found
no acts of violence committed and
held that such punishments as have
been given Stephenson for VIOLA
ton of prison rules have been the
same as those given any other pris-
oner.
The report states that the chari-
ties board members considered Ste
phenson's charges of a plot of Of

UNFAIR RESTRICTIONS IN
VADING RIGHTS OF PRISONER
The board is of the opinion that
the prisoner has not been deprived
of any substantial right and that
no unfair restrictions have been
imposed upon him. This conclusion
is based on the following facts:
a. Since the admission OF D. G.
Stephenson to the prison on Nov
81, 1925, he has had ninety-six visits
from forty-two different persons
including fifteen attorneys-at-law
of whom at least four held power Of
attorney from petitioner. These -four
made forty-seven visits to the Pc
titioner.
All visits with exception of those
made by representatives of the Ma
rion County prosecuting attorneys
office, United States officials anc
one visit by business associates
when special matters were dis
cussed, were made under super
vision of prison ojcials as the rules
provide.
Seven Visits Denied
Onlv seven requests for visits were
denied. The only restrictions tt
visits found we're that prisoner wa.
not permitted to have private inter
views, and visits except those with
attorneys were limited to one houl
each.
These restrictions are similar tt
those in other State prisons and ir
our opinion are justifiable anc
necessary to the safe and prope,
administration of the prison.
Warden denies interfering in any
way with petitioners attorneys wht
have seen prisoner on practically
every visit, and an extension of time
has been given them when it wa.
requested.
Prisoner admits Warden DAILY tolc
him-in an interview that there wa!
no dispositio nto limit visits from
attorneys to one hour.

to run him as being matter fol

so they took no cognizance of them
The board finally disnisses
Stephenson's charges with an
analysis of his character, which is
summed up in these words:
His temperament and mental
attitude seem to make all restraint
very irksome to him. He regards
everyone who would thwart his de-
sires as an enemy and as a member
of conspiracy to destroy him
Their every act is regarded as an
act of hostility. as being inspired by
malice and as having a sinister pur-
pose"
