AGAIN BEFORE Jury
Former Indiana KIan Leader
Now Life Convict, Makes
Third Appearance.

By the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. December
I'D. c. Stephenson, former Kan
chieftain and now a life convict. made
his third appearance yesterday before
the Marion County jury, which for
more than a year has been delVinG
into charges of political corruption IN
Indiana.
As on his former trips. the former
dragon" was brought here by auto
mobile from the Michigan City state
Prison without preliminary announce
ment of his coming.
stephenson spent several hours in
the grand jury room. No mixing OF
what happeued, however, was made
public. After he had been before the
Jurors more than three hours. Lloyd
q. Hill. one of his attorneys, was
called into the room.
It was believed the grand jury
sought evidence from Stephenson to
substantiate recent statements that
he had not told all he knew regard
ing alleged political corruption. In a
recent court action he asserted he was
being improperly treated in prison in
an effort 10 prevent his telling more
of what he knew.
Stephenson appeared before the
grand Jury about year ago, but the
general impression was that he gave
the Jurors little information. He was
recalled last August and was under
stood to have enabled the grand jury
to gain possession of his famous
'.black boxes containing alleged doc
umentary material having a bearing
on his charges.
The present grand jury automati-
cally retires December 81. Within re-
cent months Gov. Ed Jackson, John
L. Duvall, former mayor of Indian
apolis; six Indianapolis councilmen,
George Y. Coffin. Marion County Re
publican chairman, and several others
have been indicted by the grand jury.
