DEFENSE RESTS
IN B|RCER CASE
Motion for Continuance by
Gangsters Denied.

BIZ LnItfd Press
BENTON, Ill, July 21.-A COM
plete surprise was sprung here to-
day when attorneys for Charlie
Burger, Art Newman and Ray Hy-
land, gangsters on trial for the muir
der of Mayor Joe Adams of West
City, rested their case without Of
fering a single witness.
Closing arguments will be started
Immediately.
A motion for continuance had
been asked, on the plea that con-
LESSONS by Newman and his refusal
to join with the other defendants in
a common defense had made delay
until the next term of court neces-
sary. The State had commended
that the motion was inconsistent.
1t was denied.
Repeated efforts to effect a recon-
Citation between Burger and New
man had failed. Although once
close friends, they are now bitter
enemies. Their differences were
started by Newman's confession to
completely in the staying Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Lory Price of Marion, which
held Burger chiefly responsible for
the crime.

COUNTY BUYS
GRAVEL FROM
ONE COMPANY
Leader of Political Faction
Gets All Business for
Road Work.
NONE TO OTHER FIRM
Price Same; Otis Dodson Is
Aligned With County
Commissioners.
NONE TO OTHER FIRM

Through district county road SUI
perintendents, $10,429.64 worth of
gravel was bought in April, May and
June of this year from the Marion
County Sand and Gravel Company,
near haywood.
This company is owned and OPP
Grated by Otis Dodson, leader Of a
county political faction, and his
brother, Arthur v. Dodson.
County Commissioners Cassius L.
Hogle and Charles o. Sutton are
aligned with Dodson.
The figures are not so startling
until it Is pointed out that the Max
well Gravel Company, located north
of Broad Ripple on White River,
has the same type of contract with
the county, but this firm has re-
ceived no orders, according to
records.
Long Hauls Pointed Out
Both companies offer gravel at
Is cents yard and dirt and rocks
at rs cents yard.
Another point in the transactions
is that many Of the gravel hauls
are from Tenth ST., to Fifty Sixth
ST., in sections which could be &C
commodated by the Maxwell firm.
Others are along Raymond ST.,
which Is in the vicinity for the
Marion County firm.
None of the awards to the gravel
firm is shown on county books, con-
tanning miscellaneous expenditures.
They are carried in bill and re-
QUESTION form under Marion County
Sand and Gravel Company headings
on the district reports and allotted
on the free gravel road fund.
Payment Is Indirect
Payment of bills is indirect. The
district superintendent are paid by
the county commissioners. These
amounts are placed in their personal
accounts, passing out whatever they
need for payment from this.
The following payments were
made by commissioners to district
men for the Marion gravel firm:
April-Harvey Darnell, District 2,
Division 1, $1.146.94; A. w. Tolin,
District 6, Division 3, $1,762.27 for
Shadeland Ave. repairs north of
Twenty-Fifth ST., and north of
Forty-Ninth st. and on Arlington
Ave-, north of Thirty Eighth ST.;
Nicholas Tex, District 3, Division 5,
father Of Luther Tex, county road
superintendent, $1725O; Jerry Gray,
STAB, for repairs on Madison Rd.,
near Stop 6; Walter Askren, District
7, Division 4, $3,340.70, for repairs on
Arlington Ave-, north of Tenth and
north of Twenty-First Sts., and on
Emerson Ave-, north of Tenth st.
May--Darnell, $1,198.37.
June-Elmer Trester, District 2,
Division 8, $3.50, and Darnell, 3d.
064.36 for Raymond st. repairs.
Carried by~County Trucks
Dodson's name does not appear on
any of the receipts for the funds.
They are signed by Alex A. Case.
A small part of the amounts are
for delivery of the gravel by the
company's trucks at SO an hour. In
most cases, though, the materials
are bought at the dock and taken
to locations by county trucks.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 21.-
When 1t comes to serving on the
jury, Lawrence w. Akers, a Mem
phiS man, can tell all about it. He
has served on some kind of a Jury
every year since 1908.
Even though the duties of citizen
ship at times threaten to break UP
his home, ruin his business, and
always gives him a vacation that
he doesn't want. Akers has had
little luck in getting out Of jury
service.
When called as a venireman the
first few times he acted with good
grace, for he thought he was per-
forming civic duty. But with civic
duty calling year after year, Akers
got tired.
But the judges laugh at his ex-
cuses and ask for reasons. Akers
stays on the job.
