prohibition agents and Prosecutor
Joe Davis, the men behind the in
veStigation of grating charges pre-
ferred against Muncie authorities,
were targets today of an attack
against their integrity, made by
Clayton Dudley, roadhouse pro-
prietor.
Dudley made his charges upon be-
ing brought before Judge Clarence
w. Dearth to be sentenced to two
to ten years for aiding an automo-
bile theft gang.
Pestered to Buy Liquor
Federal prohibition agents
bought gin, beer and alcohol in my
place and I bought it from them"
Dudley told Judge Dearth. Those
men were always Fostering me to
buy their stuff"
Dudley asserted he was being
"railroaded" to Jail by the Federal
agents because 'I didn't have
enough money to pay out"
What do you mean?" Davis
asked.
II I had enough money,
wouldn't have been convicted in the
first place"
do you mean to infer that Judge
Dearth got money from Billy Cald-
well?" Caldwell was a member of
the automobile theft ring from
which Dudley bought stolen auto
mobile.
mo, but Caldwell said he gave you
lot of money"
Liar" Davis Shouts
"You go back and tell Billy Cald-
well he's liar" Stormed the prose-
cutor and turned to Judge Dearth
with a demand that Caldwell, whose
case was dismissed several weeks
ago, be called into court to testify.
Dudley said he wanted to be called
before the Federal grand jury and
Delawave County grand jury to tell
his story.

Thorough Inquiry Pledged

1.-THE entire situation at Muncie
will be investigated thoroughly by
the Federal grand jury" Albert
Ward, United States district attor-
ney, said today, commenting on a
United Press dispatch relating
charges made by Clayton Dudley,
Muncie roadhouse proprietor, before
Circuit Judge Clarence w. Dearth
Tuesday.
George L. Winkler, deputy dry
administrator, laughed when in
formed of Dudley'S statement.
ST believe the whole thing is
fabrication" Winkler said. Charges
that dry agents or Joe Davis took
money from bootleggers are ridicu-
lous.
Prosecutor Davis employed an
lundercover man, whom I recon-
mended, to begin the investigation
of wholesale liquor traffic in Mum
Gle several months ago.
I'm order to gain confidence of
Muncie bootleggers, this undercover
man, who was not Federal prohi-
bition agent, pretended to be a beer
runner, soliciting orders for beer"

Sinclair Contempt Action Is
Added to List; Change
Aids Hearing Date.
NO LIMIT ON SENTENCE
Justice Has Full Power to
Punish Millionaire and
His HenChman.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Gov-
eminent counsel prepared today to
face a full winter of court action,
growing from various phases Of the
Fall Sinclair Teapot Dome case and
subsequent jury-tampering charges.
To the series of cases now pen&-
ing were added today the contempt
proceedings against Harry F. Sin
clair, millionaire oil magnate; Will
liam j. Burns, detective agency
head, and four of their associates.
Indictments soon in the jury
tampering case are expected, adding
another to the long series of inter-
related cases. Lawyers themselves
are confused.
Change Hearing Date
Hearing on the complaint against
Sheldon Clark of Chicago, vice pres
ident of the Sinclair Refining Com
pany, on a charge of conspiracy to
influence the Fall-Sinclair jury, to-
day was continued from next Fri
day, when scheduled, to Dec. S, the
day when contempt proceedings
against him and six others will be-
gin here.
The continuance was approved by
United States Commissioner Need
ham Turnage upon motion Of Neil
BurkinShaw, assistant to United
States District Attorney Peyton
Gordon.
Clark is under $4,000 bond, while
H Mason Day, another Sinclair
lieutenant, is under $4,000 bond on
similar complaint.
The contempt trial-to be held
before Siddons without a jury--may
last several days, it was explained
today. The corps of lawyers which
will go into court here Dec. 5, coin
cident with the opening of Con-
gress, to represent the six men
cited for contempt, is expected to
seek to have the order set aside on
various motions.
If they fail, they must show why
their clients are not guilty of con-
tempt. The burden of proof rests
upon them.
No Sentence Limit
There is no limit of sentence for
criminal contempt, that being en-
tirely in the hands of the Judge who
tries the case.
Besides this contempt case, there
is the separate Clark case, and pos
sibility of another general case
growing out of expected indict-
ments, all as a result of the Jury
tampering charges.
H. M. Blackmer, fugitive oil mag
nate, is scheduled to appear here
Jan. 6 to show why he should not
forfeit 100000 under the Walsh
act for failure to return to this
country from abroad to testify in
the Teapot Dome case.
The new trial in the Teapot Dome
case has been set for Jan. 16. That
IS the winter schedule faced by
Government counsel and the host of
defense lawyers.
1t was indicated today that IN
dictments by the grand jury which
investigated the widespread sur
velllance of Fall-Sinclair trial jury
men by Burns detectives will come
next week, probably Monday
1t was emphasized that institution
OF contempt proceedings is indie
pendent OF the indictments.
