cess to the prison through the first
gate they were to release their
prisoner" overpower the gate
keeper, subdue, the small night force
and liberate the chosen few.
If that failed, a gunman was to
remove Governor jackson by
death and, the story goes, Ste
phenson told his conspiratOrs
that he could then renew his grip
upon Indiana politics and pOliti-
clans and secure his own release.
The Jail delivery plot progressed
so far that the hour had been set,
it was learned. In preparation an
outline of the plot was written in
alum water and it's reading made
possible by application of heat to the
paper on which it had been penned.
, The Plot Failed
The plot failed, so runs the story,
because Of an accident to the auto
mobile in which Crawford and his
accomplices from Chicago were
travelling as they reached a point
near La Porte, only a few miles
from the prison.
Then, according to the story as
Crawford is reported to have told
lit, his nerve failed. The money had
3been dissipated. He had none with
which to pay the Chicago gunner
even at the usual low rates for kill
ing.
Although Warden Walter H. DAILY
will not confirm the story, one fea-
ture of the Crawford story was
reasily substantiated or disproved.
That was the manner in which he
obtained the money for the plots.
Crawford claimed the amount to
be close to $1,000. Read later what
Warden DAILY says about this.
This money, it was asserted, had
been placed to the credit of the for
mer mind Of Indiana's Klan when
he entered the institution and was
for his service. He could order
checks drawn against it whenever
the order for such checks did not
look suspicious.
Cashed in South Bend
The checks drawn against this
balance or fund, SO says the story,
were sent to an attorney in South
Bend who lived there for q brief
period and who was known to have

been very active in the Stephenson
Khan organization. 1t would not
and did not arouse suspicion. 1t
could easily have been explained.
This lawyer or organizer is said to
have cashedethe checks and turned
the proceeds over to Crawford.
Only the prison records can show
| the transaction and Warden DAILY
refuses to permit those records or
checks to be seen.
This is the story which it is
known that Crawford related.
Now for the statements of DAILY
and for the known facts which tend
to substitute or discredit it.
1t will not be denied that Stephen
son is in Isolation"
1t will not be denied that he was
placed in solitary punishment"
II can't tell you who the indorsers
were on the checks" said the war
den, because I don't want some at
torney to come back at me. 1 might
send any one a check on behalf of
an inmate and the person would
have right to do with that check
what they pleased"
"Not That Amount
did Stephenson send out $1,000
in checks that were cashed for
Crawford to carry on his work." the
warden was asked.
"NO-no. Not in the amount
you say" was his reply.
as it true" the questioner as
sayed, that Crawford was to use
the money in laying plans for a
plot which called for the assassina-
ton of Governor Jackson?"
Il can't help you on that" said
the warden, twirling his glasses.
Turning the conversation to the
credibility of the charges made by
Stephenson last fall, Daily became
emphatic and said:
THAT man is one of the biggest
liars I know"
'If Stephenson had anything on
anybody, he certainly had ample
opportunity to turn it loose long
before now" and the interview
was over.
The warden apparently referred to
the private conferences held by dep
uty prosecutors from Indianapolis
with Steve" during the Marion
County grand jury quiz late in 1926.
Committed to the prison from the
Vigo Circuit Court, Terre Haute,
Feb. II, 1921, for a term of five to
fourteen years for highway robbery,
Crawford was assigned to the chair
shop, where he soon became an ex-
pert workman. He was assigned to
the instruction of other men later
on and then given his job as run
ner," or material man.
He was paroled March 8, 1926, at
the expiration Of his minimum SEN
tence. This was four months after
the former head Of the hooded or
der was given a life sentence in No
blesville for the murder of an In
dianapolis girl.
Found Through Photo
Through photograph appearing
on a circular advertising his parole
violation, Crawford was found serv-
ing a short sentence in the Dayton
Ohio workhouse.
That he was afraid to face his for
mer fellow-workmen is indicated by
his assignment to the binder Irvine
plant at the prison, where the work
is much harder and dirtier than in
the chair shops.
Just how much he told prison Of
ficials probably will never be known
because prison officials respect con-
fidence. Crawford has nine years

DESPITE OPPOSITION
Governor Reappoints Five Deputy
Mine Inspectors.

CONFINEMENT VERIFIED
Charities Board Secretary Knew
Steve Was Punished.

Secretary John A. Brown of the
State board of charities stated that
while he knew that Stephenson had
been placed in solitary confinement
he had no individual record Of such
cases.
Il happened to be at Michigan
City at the time that he was placed
in the solitary CELL" Brown de-
clared. Records of all such punish.
ments are kept in a card filing
system at the prison. These are
checked over by inspectors from
this department several times a
year.
while monthly report regard
ing punishments is submitted to
this department 1t does not give
names and is purely statistical.
Therefore we do not have Stephen
sons individual punishment record
at the prison"
