Three women and young man
in Indianapolis this afternoon re-
ceived With quiet joy the news that
a heartbreaking vigil of three and
one-third years for the release of
husband and father from prison
was ended.
The four persons had waited for
the message which said that War
rem T. McCray had been released
from Atlanta Federal prison.
They waited, with their hours OF
suspense lightened bit by the re-
Election that whatever the world
might have said about McCray three
and third years ago they had re-
tanned their faith in his assertion
that he never Intentionally did a
wrong and that hundreds Of the
persons who may have believed him
guilty these years ago have petit
toned the President and the attor-
ney general for his release.
May Arrive Thursday
Those who waited here at the
pretty home Of william P. Evans,
son-in-law of McCray, at 551 e.
Thirty-Sixth ST., were Mrs. McCray,
her daughters, Marion McCray and
Mrs. Evans, and her son, George
w. of Kentland, Ind.
Evans was at Atlanta to bring the
62-year-old Ex-Governor home. He
is expected to arrive some time
Thursday.
While the family had not made
definite plans, it is believed sons
of them will be at the Union Sta
ton when Evans and McCray ar-
rive.
The real welcome for homes
hungry man awaits at that pretty
home in E. Thirty-Sixth ST., away
from the eyes Of the curious, how
ever.
VIII See Grandson
Among the Joys which await the
man who, used to the power Of
money and position most Of his
previous life, has for three and a
third long years felt the sorrow Of
loss of liberty etch itself into his
heart, Is the first sight Of his only
grandson, william P. Evans Jr.
The happy 3-year-old youngster
romped merrily today, unconscious
that tomorrow or the next day he
probably will be clasped by q sad
dened, weary old man, down whose
cheeks tears may course as he re-
fleets that barring misbehavior
which would forfeit his parole such
joys as these are his for the rest Of
his days.

ing agent in the McCray admins
tration, and Robert I. Marsh, law
partner of Governor Ed jackson,
were witnesses before the Marion
county grand jury conducting the
Indiana political corruption inquiry
today.
The Indianapolis Times, in copy
righted articles, has stated that
Robinson first communicated to
Warren T. McCray, then Governor,
offer of the Marion County Repub-
lican organization of $4,000 for at
torney fees and guarantee that no
jury would convict him in his finan-
cial troubles.
| The Times also has stated that
Marsh accompanied D. G. Stephen
son, then Klan Grand Dragon, to
the office of James w. Noel, attorney
for McCray, where Stephenson re-
peated the offer.
Offer Was Refused
The politicians demanded that
McCray name James P. McDopald
as prosecutor of Marion CO, nty
when McCray's son-in-law, William
P. Evans, resigned, in return for the
offer. McCray then faced indict-
mont in Criminal court.
.McCray refused the offer, as he
did when the same proposition was
put to him by Ed Jackson. then
secretary of State.
Fred o. Butler, former secretary
Stephenson, and his wife, Mar
garet Reynolds Butler, former
stenographer to Stephenson. were
other witnesses today.

cation since Aug. /. arrived at the
Courthouse a few minutes later
and went into the jury room.
II don't know what is going on.

out"
Robinson went before the Jury at
9:07 a. m. He left little after 10
a. m. Marsh, who had beer wait
ing, entered at 1910 a. m. He had
gotten to the first floor when Deputy

rushed from the jury room on the
third floor and recalled him. He re-
mained in the jury room ten min
utes longer.
Mrs. Butler followed Marsh. At
10:45 Butler was ushered in. He left
at l1:20 and the prosecutors and
jurors held a conference until noon.
Marsh has admitted seeing Noel,
but said he did not recall having
gone with Stephenson. He denied
any offer was made.
Jackson Still Silent
jackson has refused to make any
statement since The Times printed
July as the story of the first offer
made by him.
With Prosecutor Remy back, II
was believed, the jury might be
ready to file in a few days par
tial report upon political corruption
investigation begun last fall when
Stephenson declared he could bare
widespread corruption of the days
when he was political ruler Of the
State.
