indianapolis, Sept. 17.-(AP)--
Letters published in the Indiana
polls Star this morning link the
names of United States Senators
James F.. Watson and Arthur r
Robinson Of Indiana in an alleged
attempt to have sentence Of the
Indiana supreme court for con-
tempt Of court modified.
The letters, said the Star, were
exchanged between f.. S. Shu-
maker, superintendent of the IN
diana Anti-Saloon league, and Sen
ator Watson. Shumaker recently
was fined $500 and sentenced to the
state penal farm for 60 days for
contempt Of the supreme court,
but was pardoned by Governor
Jackson.
The exchange Of letters followed
a telephone conversation between
Dr. Shunaker and Senator Watson
while Watson was at Lake Maxim
kuchce and Shumaker was at Sena-
tor EoblnSon's home.
Only F;nr Expected
The mex, day. OH August 8, 1926,
Shumakcr wrote Watson reminding
him that he had told him (Shu-
maker, that the supreme court
would not act on his case until
aftcr the election Of that year and
then only tine him. Senator Wat
son. replying to Shumaker's letter,
denied that such Il conversation
was held over the telephone and
said that DR.. Shunakcr misunder-
stood him. Senator Watson's let
ter said. however. that Senator
Robinson came to him at Washing
ton and asked him to do what he
could do to prevent DR.. Shumaker
from being sent to jail.
A statement last night by Shu-
maker declared that he did not call
on Senator Robinson for the pur-
pose Of having his case settled i'm
medately and prevent the con-
tempt case from being held over
his head during the campaign in
the fall Of 1926. Senator Watson
did declare over the telephone, Shu-
maker insisted, that he had con-
ferred with three judges supposed
to be unfriend!y to DIR. Shumaker
and that there would be no Jail
sentence.
RObinsOn's Story
A statement issued by Senator
Robinson last night said that he
did talk to Senator Watson at
Washington about the Shumaker
case but expressed only sympathy
for the dry leader. Robinson said
he told Shumaker he could no
nothing about having his contempt
case decided at an early date but
advised him to see Watson about it.
Watson then was reached on the
telephone and Shumaker was al
lowed to talk to him. Watson at
present is a patient at the Mayo
brothers hospital at Rochester,
MINI.
Watson's letter to Shumaker
said that what he tried to say over
the phone was that the supreme
court was on vacation and that,
therefore, he thought it would not
act on the contempt case until
after the election. Watson said he
did not intend to tell Shumaker
that the court would only fine him
