GRAND JURY
EXPECTED TO
INDICT TODAY
Extraordinary Care Taken
to Guard Names of Those
Likely to Be Hit.
LONG SESSION Is HELD
Prosecuting Staff Asked to
Leave Room, Presum-
ably for BaIloting.
LONG SESSION IS HELD

The Marion County grand Jury
went into session this afternoon
out Of which was expected to come
the first indictments resulting from
eleven months of investigation of
corruption in Indiana politics and
government
The secret Of just who the grand
jury intended to indict was guarded
with extraordinary precaution, but
from the witness list of the last few
weeks the charges were expected to
include high State and high city
official and several leading Repub-
lican politicians.
Soon after the jury went into
session at 8 this morning the pros
ecuting staff was asked to leave.
This was taken to indicate that in
dictments were being voted upon,
since law provides that the jury
must be alone during balloting.
Prosecutors Confer
Prosecutor William H. Remy,
Deputy Prosecutor William H.
Sheaffer and Special Prosecutors
Emsley w. johnson and John w.
Holtznan held a conference In
Remy's office while the jury de-
liberated.
They took what appeared to be
typewriter statement into the con-
ference with them. Remy's stenog-
rapher was called in and came out
rapidly to type from notes.
At 9:55 the prosecutors were
called back up to grand jury room.
This conference lasted until 1880
a. m, when members of the grand
jury departed, announcing they
would be. back at 2 p. m and prob
ably would have something of inter
est to report soon thereafter.
The prosecutors remained in the
grand jury room. The stenographer
took a typewriter indictment in
after while.
Probe Since October, 1925
Investigation of political corrup-
ton has been under way since Oct.
II, 1926. The Times had begun
printing the mysterious letters of D.
Q. Stephenson, snluggled out OF In
diana State prison, threatening tc
disclose wholesale law violations by
officials and politicians, on Oct. 2.
Two grand juries have failed to
act. The present jury took up the
investigation July IL, prosecuting its
task with continuous vigor.
Hoffman and Johnson were
named special prosecutors by Judge
Collins after the second grand Jury
was dismissed because one of the
jurors had disclosed that he had
been offered bribe.
Sheaffer took leading part in the
inquiry during August while the
other prosecutors were away on va
| cations.
Sift McCray Charges
From witnesses called in the last
few weeks it generally was inferred
that the jury carefully was investi-
eating the charge of The Indian
apolis Times that Governor Ed
Jackson, his law partner, Robert I.
Marsh, D. G. Stephenson and Fred
B. Robinson, former State purchas-
ing agent, participated in carrying
to McCray an offer from politicians
of $4,000 for attorney fees and
guarantee no jury would convict
him if he would name James E. NC
Donald, local attorney, prosecutor,
to succeed William P. Evans.
Evans, McCray's son-in-law, was
about to resign in December, 1928,
rather than participate in prosecu-
ton of McCray upon financial fraud

Royal Windsor to Hunt Five
Missing FIiers, Hoping
Yet for Rescue.
BOAT MAY SAVE PAIR
Sir John CARING Rubber
Ship Can Ride Rough
Seas, Aviators Say.

~ United Press
HARBOR GRACE, Newfoundland,
Sept 9.--Postponing temporarily
their planned fight to Windsor,
England, G. A. Schiller and Phil
Wood will start search for the
missing planes Old Glory and the
Sir John CARING and the five miss
sng fliers.
Both aviators said they believed
there still was chance of rescuing
the missing men.
They said that the rubber lifeboat
carried on the Sir John CARING by
Lieut.. James D. Medcalf and Capt.
Terence Tully was sausage shaped
and could ride heavy seas like a
gull
Wood and Schiller planned to
continue their hunt for several days,
searching by daylight and returning
to Harbor Grace at night to refuel
the planes and to sleep
They would search, they said, un-
til the fliers had been found or all
hope lost of their being found.
Believed Near Ireland
Wood believed that Tully and
Medcalf succeeded in crossing most
of the Atlantic and went down near
the Irish coast. He recalled the
flight of Harry Hawker, whose plane
fell in the sea near the Irish coast.
Hawker was rescued.
The search was postponed today
because of bad weather. Reports
from vessels indicated rough seas
and easterly gales. The barometer
also was falling.
Speaking Of the chance of Tully
and Medcalf being afloat, Wood
nd:
Assuming that they obtained
dLftrol of the raft and emerged
successfully from the wrecked plane,
their chances Of riding even heavy
waves are good. Their raft is saul
sage shaped, permitting complete
enclosure, which may he submerged
and ltill come to the top and ride
the waves.
Danger of Being Cut
"The only danger would be that
the raft might come into contact
with the plane or some other float
Ing object that might cut it in two
Wood said there also was a chance
of finding the fliers afioat in the
plane, provided they had time to re-
lease the gasoline. He said he be-
lieved it was also possible On the Sir
John CARING to drop the under
carriage and even the engine, and
thus make lifeboat of the plane.

Movement, and the only trade union organization
which, in line with the Communist Party wages an
untiring fight against Italian fascism and capital
ism, fight that is beset with many sacrifices and
dangers.
This role Of the G. C. L. has been recognized by
all the advanced elements Of the Italian proletariat
Proof of this will be found in the fact that the
Illegal press of the G. c. L. has the widest crcula
ton among the masses Notwithstanding the fact
that the reading and keeping of illegal literature is
severely punished by the fascists. It should also
be noted that the publications of the G. C. L. are
eagerly bought by the workers, that the G. C. L.
press is able to run almost without deficit
The attitude of the workers towards the G. c. l..
was formulated in speeches made before the con-
ference on February goth both by Maximalist and
reformist workers. as well as at factory and work
shop conferences throughout Italy Everything that
is honest and militant in Italy, and among emigrant

be observed that among the members of the lead

You are trying to make believe that if the Rus

Permit me, Mr.. Marshal, to recall to YOU a few
facts which, if they do not change your opinion,
Will at least be useful in enlightenng the too MANY
