dulCo n. SOtllIS, Aplll ~.
This was the judges order after
he over ruled two motions by
Armitage's attorney, Eph Inman, for
dismissal Of the contempt citation.
The second motion was a general
denial in purgation and seeking dis
missal, accompanied by sworn
statement by Armitage in which he
denied all of the charges made by
Achey.
Special Deputy Prosecutor John
w. Hoffman, Democrat and former
mayor, contended the denial was not
specific, and the court upheld the
objection, overruling the motion.
Inman then asked if he might add
a paragraph to the denial, to make
it specific, but Judge Collins replied
that nothing he could add would
have a bearing on his ruling, and
that the defense could take excep-
ton if it desired"
mo Delay"
There must be no delay in this
case" said Collins, "for we are
holding up the grand jury until after
it is disposed Of"
After his attorney had been de-
feated in the two determined efforts
to have the citation dismissed, Armi-
tage told friends:
I'm glad now they're going ahead
with the trial. I want to prove that
Achey's allegations are all lies
Armitage Denies
The sworn denial said:
''The defendant. James f. Arni-
tage, alleges that he denies each and
every one of the allegations con
tanned in the information and moves
that he be acquitted and discharged.
Inman cited several cases which,
he contended, left no other course
for Judge Collins other .han to dis
miss the case.
THE general denial and veriflca-
ton under oath purges the defend
ant and must necessarily end the
case" he declared. "Such a denial
must be treated as authority. The
court cannot proceed to hear evi-
dence. This always has been the
law in Indiana"
Before prosecutors had opportu'
nifty to oppose Inman's new move,
the court took a recess.

BODY FOUND IN
BURNED BARN
Authorities Believe ProWIer
Murdered Farmer.


GOSHEN, Ind. April 21-The
charred body of Benjamin Fair. 81,
a farmer living four miles north of
Goshen, was found today in the ruins
of his barn. Authorities believe he
was murdered.
Fair arose at daybreak, his wife
said and when she awoi1e again some
time later she saw the entire barn
in flames.
The body was found just inside the
door of the barn. Beside 1t was a
rifle which he had kept in the house.
1t is thought he heard some one
prowling about the barn and took
the weapon with him to investigate.
Authorities believed the prowler set
upon him as he entered the barn and
set fire to the barn to hide evidence
of the killing.

Information Attached

The six points on which Inman

not give exact time; is uncertain:

not within the jurisdiction of the
