SEEK GEM BANDITS
Marion Robbers Believed to
Be Hiding Here.

Police today checked the posi-
bility that three of the five bandits
who held up the Roessler jewelry
store at Marion Friday and OBJ
tained $4,000 loot might have come
to Indianapolis following the gem
robbery.
Marion police notified local au-
thorities that the jewelry bandits
registered at a hotel there last
Tuesday as Indianapolis men, and
gave their descriptions.
Detectives Englebright and Hub
bard reported a "tip" that three
known gunnen are in the city. De-
scriptions of the three were some
what similar to those of the gem
robbers.

Special Prosecutor John w.
Holtzman said that the prose-
cutting staff desires to bring the
Governor, Coffin and Marsh to
trial as soon as possible and
that every effort will be made
to hold the trial this year.
Date for arraignment of the Gov
ernor and associates is the regular:
day in Criminal Court. Unless some
special arrangements are made, the
defendants must take their tlirn
with ali common offenders facing
charges before Judge Collins ON
Oct. 3.
Each OF the defendants was silent
today upon the charge.
Governor 'Loves Them All"
The Governor, when he sur
rendered at the sheriff's Office for
arrest late Friday, made no cons
ment other than to remark to news
paper men: 1T love you ALL"
Today, reached at the executive
mansion by telephone, he said he
had nothing to say. Asked who his
attorneys will be, he said:
"I haven't thought anything
about it."
Marsh, at his home, 26 Downey
ST., refused to discuss the case. He
said late Friday that he would not
add to his statement given to The
Times several days ago, that he had
not participated in any offer of
bribe to McCray.
Coffin Is Mum
Coffin said, upon Surrendering
Friday, that he had nothing to say.
He appeared at ease and talked
complacently with reporters about
trivialities.
Despite their silence it Is expected
that the first move of the defend
ants will be to attack the indict-
ment upon the ground that the
statute of limitations invalidaes it.
This move could be made before or
on arraignrnent date.
Several Eaoves could be made to
preclude their arraignment, or even
their appearance for arraignment,
upon that date.
The indictment charges that the
trio conspired, in December, 1928,
to offer McCray a bribe of $4,000
and a guarantee that no jury would
convict him upon financial fraud

The alleged offer to McCray was
made more than two years ago. The
statute Of limitations is operative in
two years.
