justification for his act.

Here in Lafayette a calm woman
went about her business as secretary
treasurer of the bank, unmindful
that she wss regarded as a. heroine
Flashes Burglar Alarm
She was Miss Margaret Cheney,
40. Four or five bandits-counts
differed-walked into the bank just
after it was opened at 8 a. m. and
ordered the one man and six women
employees and woman and a man
customer to go into the vault and
lie down. But Miss Cheney marched
straight into the vault and with one
of the bandits covering her with q
gun pressed the burglar alarm. Two
bandits had remained outside with
the car running.
The alarm flashed in police head
quarters-just across the street.
Bandits Open Fire
Captain Arman was alone in the
station, other officers being in po-
lice court. He dashed across the
street into the bank and drew his gun.
"Oh, there you are" shouted one
of the bandits and opened fire on
the policeman.
Arrnan fired, back and a volley
from several of the bandits fol-
lowed, the bank employees said.
Arman dropped with bullet in
his forehead, two or three in his
abdomen and one in leg. He died
before other policemen got across
the street.
Robbers Speed Away
The bandits, picking up a
sock of money, dashed out to
their car and sped north, taking
with them one of their number who
was wounded. He had to be carried
and left a splotch Of blood where he
had been standing.
Sheriff Charles M. Johnston, Po-
lice Chief Arthur q. Eversole,
American Legion Commander A. @.
Arnett and former sheriff William
Winehardt headed the posse.

CITY MANAGER
GROUP PLEA
GIVEN NEGLEY
Mayor to Run Municipality
on Business Lines Is
Recommended.
ASK FOR CONFERENCE
Strange and Unusual Quiet
Broods Over Scared
City Hall.

A move for election of a per-
manent mayor who will conduct
municipal government along city
manager lines was begun. today by
directors of the Indianapolis City
Manager League.
Chairman Charles F.. Coffin
asked Claude E. Negley, mayor pro
tenn. and city council president, for
conference of directors with the
entire council before Nov. 8, when
council will elect the permanent
mayor.
Negley replied he would be glad
to accede and when Coffin's letter
was received would take the matter
up with council.
City Hall Quiet
City hall was strangely quiet to-
day, the general disposition from
Negley on down being to "straighten
things out" as nearly as possible be-
fore the permanent mayor is elected.
Negley, his track cleared through
withdrawal of Ira M. Holmes from
the contest, after Superior Judge
Joseph M. Miners ban Monday, in
dicated he would do little more than
keep tine municipal ship afloat and
headed toward sane progress be-
tween now and Nov. 8.
| Coffin wrote to Negley:
"Inasmuch as by vote of the peo-
| pie, it has been determined to
change the form of government
from that of mayor and council
government to the city manager
form of government, our committee
feels that this is a most opportune
time for submitting to your honor
able body certain matters which it
is respectfully urged should have
careful consideration of your body
before a permanent mayor is Sc
| lected."
Will Complete List
Coffin said that the directors
would consult civic club leaders and
obtain list of men of high stand
ing who, if elected mayor, would
work along city manager lines, for
submission to the council
Politicians, convinced that Negley
did not intend to shake up the city
hall personnel, turned their atten-
ton to selection of the permanent
mayor.
The contest, in its early stages,
appeared to be between Negley and
Frank Cones, whom Negley named
city controller last week, i'm
mediately after council had selected
Negley for mayor pro tenn.
Dozens OF other names were be-
ing discussed, among them Bert
Morgan, former prohibition admin
istrator for Indiana, and John A.
George, former board of safety
member.
George was talked of by the CO.
horts OF George v. Coffin, Repub-
l1can county chairman, whose plans
were warped considerably when the
Dodson faction seized city hall con-
troll.
Negley SAID he had one project
Whlcn ne noped TO get started dur
ing his brief term of Office. This
was the patching of few streets
1t appeared that Negley would be
permitted to serve until Nov. 8
without legal opposition, but that
whoever the council elects per-
manently will face new quo war
ranto proceedings filed in Circuit
Court by Joseph L. Hogue.
AS soon as the permanent mayor
is selected, Solon Carter, Hogue's at
torney, is expected to direct the suit
against him.

privately that the trial was as

hints Of developments which
might equal in sensation the

which led up to the present
proceedings.
The Government lawyers let it be
known that if Justice Siddons de-
clared miStrial they would be

was among the charges.
The affidavit in the case were
made public after the adjournment.
They revealed that hour by hour
surveillance of jurors had been
kept: this evidence was revealed by
a raid on the Burns Detective
Agency.
Grand Jury in Session
The grand jury was in session
this morning. Neil BurkinshaW, as
sistant United States attorney, VINO
worked up the aff1davits, was seen
to call a witness into the grand
jury room.
District Attorney Peyton Gordon
said it would not be proper for hlm
to say whether the grand jury was
considering the matter.
Jury Is Excused
Meanwhile, the jury of two young
bobbed haired women and ten men
was released, after being locked up
an hour under guard were allowed
to go to their homes.
United States District Attorney
Gordon, while not admitting the
grand jury was considering the
case, said an indictment, if voted,
would take some time to prepare,
and, therefore, probably could not
be returned Immediately.
Gordon opened a book Of the
United States laws, at a point
marked by large yellow sheet OF
note paper, and disclosed the maxi
mum penalty for jury tampering
was one year in prison or $1,000
fine, or bpth-and for conspiracy to
tamper with a jury, six years in
prison or $4,000 fine, or both.
Amazes Court Followers
The jury tampering charges
amazed court followers. Up to last
night there had been no intimation
of such charges. But by early
morning the rumors had spread,
and the courtroom was expectant
when the trial reconvened this fore
noon.
Counsel Pomerene, dignified and
solemn, rose at court opening to
announce he had grave and seri-
Gus" evidence to submit.

presented secretly to this court" he
said.
Siddons, though apparently adj
vised of some surprise move, pom
dered moment before he asked
if the evidence were such as to
make it advisable to exclude it
from the jury and the public.
Secret Farley Is Held
Pomerene agreed that the jury
ought not to know his evidence at
the moment, but agreed that de-
chamber. There they discussed the
tense counsel could hear it.
The court then recessed while the
Justice and others retired to an ante
startling evidence long time.
There was an air of disappoint-
ment in the Government camp that
such an incident had flashed upon
the trial just at time when the
prosecution was closing its case
and the defense was about ready to
begin.
