Loses Damage
Suit: Claimed
False Arrest

BIZ Times Special
ANDERSON, Ind, June 24.-Evi-
-dence that one attends church and
never tasted liquor does not neces-
sarily mean that arrest on charge
of intoxication is good basis for a
damage suit, an eleven-man jury
held here.
Wayne Stevens, farm youth, sued
Harley Hartzell for $1,000 damages,
alleging false prosecution. Last Sep
TENDER Hartzell cansed arrest of
three men on intoxication charges.
In city court, where Stevens had
been called as a witness, he was
pointed out by Hartzell as one of
the alleged drunken trio. An affi-
davit charging drunkenness was
filed against Stevens. Hartzell later
admitted he was mistaken and the
charge was withdrawn. Then
Stevens sued for damages.
The damage case trial, just ended
after three days hearing, was heard
by eleven jurors Instead of twelve
after difficulty had been experienced
in efforts to obtain the twelfth man.
At a previous trial the jury dis
agreed.

The demands included broader
parole privilege and request that
the warden not sit as parole mem

UNFAIR DRIVE
MADE BY DRYS,
SAYS GILLIOM
Anti Saloon League Raises
! Money by False Pre-
+ lenses, Charge.

That the Indiana Anti-Saloon
League is obtaining money under
false pretense by misinterpreting his
stand for medicinal liquor is the
contention Of Attorney General Ar
thur L. Gilliom. In statement is
sued Thursday lie points out how
the league workers collect money
and turn it over to Superintendent
E. S. Shunaker, who alone knows
where it goes.
The list. of these lecturers to
whom Gilliorn refers includes
State Representative Frank Wright,
father of the Wright bone-dry''
law. The statement reads in part
as follows:
"Since made the suggestion that
the Indiana prohibition statute
should be amended to conform with
the volstead act, so as to provids
for liquor for strictly medicinal pur-
poses, systematic weekly campaign
is being conducted by hirelings of
the head of the Anti Saloon League
in the churches for the collection of
money under the false pretense that
my suggestion is wet move and
an attack on prohibition of liquor
for beverage purposes. No more
dishonest Misrepresentation than
this has ever been made by any one
in Indiana. No one believes in the
prohibition of intoxicating liquor for
beverage purposes more sincerely
than / do.
''The moneys so collected are be-
ing appropriated by the collectors
to compensate themselves at. the
rate of $40 a speech and the. re-
mainder is used by their employer
for purposes known accurately to
himself. When people part with
money they should know the truth
of the inducement and the bor-
rowed livery of the pulpit should
not prevent an inquiry into the
truth
Gillion1 also urged the Governor
to take a stand for modification to
make medicinal use legal.
