LEADER URGES
FACTS BE Barred IN
CASE>OF SHUMAKER
Watson and Robinson Ac-
ton Seen as devious Ef-
fort to Sway Court.

That every act of Senator James
E. Watson and Senator Arthur
Robinson in connection with the
Shumaker case must be laid bare to
the public was the suggestion made
today by William A. Pickens, former
president Of the State Bar Associa-
ton, in an open letter to Attorney
General Gilliom.
The letter of Mr. Pickens was
based upon the letters exchanged
by DR.. e. S. Shumaker, head of the
Anti-Saloon League, and Senator
Watson.
It is upon those letters that At
torney-G General Gilliom promptly
filed a motion in the Supreme Court
asking for a heavier sentence for
the dry leader than the sixty-day
term imposed upon him.
Mr.. Pickens served as president
of the State Bar Association last
year, retiring only in July. In 1911
he served as president of the Indi-
annapolis Bar Association and was
corporation counsel OF Indianapolis
from 1911 to 1918.
The letter of Mr.. Pickens COM
mends Gilliom for his jealous eff
forts to uphold the dignity of>courts,
and then emphasizes the Watson
letters.
1t is essential, writes this former
head of the Bar Association, that
the Supreme Court, the bar and
the public know exactly how many
letters were written by Senator
Watson and what they contained
which the Senator believed would
be ht.piul in keeping Shumaker
out of Jail.
Mr.. Pickens declares that 1t is a
fair inference from the letters that
the two Senators were willing to
try to control the Supreme Court
through political fear or favor and
that If it is shown that they did
try in devious ways" they should
be punished severely.

QUIZ SEVEN ON
SHOUTS NEAR
DEATH Scene
Two Voices Calling Signals
Heard at Place Where
Doctor Was Slain.
WITNESS STILL HIDING
Lawyer Refuses to Produce
Poultry Man; May File
Murder Charge.

/ BIZ United Press
HAMMONTON, N. j., Sept. 2e-
Seven persons who were working in
a cranberry bog near the scene of
the murder of DR.. Lilliendahl, aged
physician, were summoned for ques-
tioning today by Frank j. Harold,
chief of county detectives.
The workers were understood, to
have heard two voices, apparently
some distance apart, calling "Yoo-
Hoo" to each other about the time
Of the killing.
Mrs. Anna Cavileer said she heard
the calls three or four times, but
was not certain whether the voices
were masculine or feminine.
Beach Still Missing
Search for the missing Willis
Beach, wanted for aiding and abet-
ting" in DR.. Lilliendahl's death, con-
tinued without results today. Mrs.
Margaret Lilliendahl, the widow,
under $4,000 bond as a material
witness, was under guard at her
home.
The investigation took a surpris-
ing turn when several newspaper
men, assigned to the case, were
subpoenaed to appear this after
noon before the Atlantic County
grand jury at Mays Landing.
None of the authorities would dis
cuss the reason for summoning re-
porters, but it was assumed they
would be asked about statements
obtained in interviews with Edison
Hedges, counsel for Beach, the Vine
land poultryman.
Won't Produce Client
Hedges has refused to produce
Beach except on a court order,
claiming that he advised his client
to go into hiding because officials
had subjected him to "indignities. {"
Frank Harold, chief county de-
tective, reiterated today his con-
tention that the mystery soon would
be solved. DR.. Lilliendahl was shot
while motoring with his wife near
here a fortnight ago. Her story
that two Negroes committed the
crime has been questioned.
State prosecutors still were un-
decided whether they would swear
out a murder warrant against
Beach or what action If any they
would take against Hedges. Hedges
took full responsibility for the dis
appearance of Beach.
Jury Not TO Act
Prosecutor Louis Repetto and As
sistant Prosecutor S. Cameron Hin
kle conferred for three hours over
the case.
The grand Jury meets today, out
the case will not be presented to it,
Repetto said. "There still is one lit
tie missing link" he explained.
A report that Beach had been
seen In Baltimore hotel was being
investigated by detectives. Balti-
more is the home town of Mrs. Lii
liendahl and she has relatives nv-
ing there.
Two clerks Of the hotel said
man answering Beach's description
bought all newspapers from the
stands, clipped stories Of the MUIR
der case, and left the lobby hurried
ly, after stufing them in his pocket.

Sept. ~, lSzI.
HON. ARTHUR GILLIOM,
Dear Sir: 1 commend you for
your jealous efforts to uphold the
dignity of the courts and to en-
force a proper respect for them.
Corrupt governors and corrupt
mayors may come and go, but so
long as the judiciary has our con-
f1dence and respect we shall feel
that evil doers will be punished.
I'VE rightfully boast that ours
is a government Of laws and not
of men and that therefore our
rights are fixed and not subject
to the whims of the powerful .
"If the time ever shall come
when the courts are led in their
decisions by any influence other
than that Of pure reason. inter-
preting and applying the law. we
shall have a government of men
and shall not know from one day
to another what our rights are.
Where there is no vision the
people perish. 1t is fortunate that
one who can see the dangers Of
some present-day tendencies low
fills your great Office.
"The people Of indiana have
faith that you will go to the very
bottom of the conduct of every
one connected with the new phase
of the Shmllaker case. 1t Is
especially important that al the
acts of our Senator's, Watson and
Robinson, in this connection, be
laid bare to the public.
"The newspaper reports and
comments have cast an odium
upon them that they are entitled
to have removed. am slow to
believe that they have sought to
influence the Supreme Court by
holding up before its judges the
political consequences of their
acts. Our senators are lawyers
and they must know that a de-
cision controlled by political ex-
igencies is more corrupt and much
more dangerous than one con-
trolled by money bribery. 1t de-
stroys free government.
"It appears from Senator Wat
sons letter that Senator Robin
son asked him to try to keep Shu-
maker from being sent to jail and
that Senator Watson wrote q
number Of letters throughout In
diana which he hoped would be
helpful.
1.-THE Supreme Court, the bar,
and the public should be in
formed as to what was written
and what was said and what was
done.
1.-THE stability Of our govern
ment and the peoples faith in 1t
viii be shaken sadly when it ap-
pears that our highest court can
be controlled BY political fear or
favor. Is that time approaching?
Here is the head of a great moral
force, so called, who thinks so.
Doubtless many Of his follow
ers think likewise. 1t is a fair in
ference from Senator Watson's
letter that he and Senator Robin
son We're willing to try it. If they
did in fact try to influence the
Supreme Court In this devious
way, they deserve severe punish
nent.
There lately has been so much
corruption in public Office that
the name Of Indiana is smirched
even beyond the seas.
1T is to be hoped that an in
vestigation such as you are cap
able Of conducting and will con-
duct in this matter will leave
nothing hidden.
"Inasmuch as The Indianapolis
Times has led in exposing much
evil in high places, / am making
this an open letter and giving a
copy to that paper.
II cordially wish you well.
"WM. A. PICKENS."
