He seemed to know every one that
ever served on jury in Muncie. He
pointed out that this one was rela-

Features Dearth Hear

Thursday the Delaware County
prosecutors office had an opportun-
ity to air grievances regarding the
conduct of the Dearth court at Mum
Gle and made the most of it. Prose
cutor Joe H. Davis and his assistant.
Deputy Prosecutor Paul S. Brady,
took most of the time of the Indiana
Senate as witnesses for the State in
the Impeachment of Judge Clarence

Court.
Their statements regarding jury
Irregularities were damaging to the
defense.
Other witnesses included Lemuel
A. Dawson, former jury commission
er pro tenn. in the Dearth court, and
Court Clerk Perry w. Mansfield.
Dawson started out as State wit
ness and wound up as witness for
the defense. His transfer was eff
fected following recess of the court,
during which time he spent in con-
ference with Judge Dearth and De
Tense Attorney Van Ogle, former
prosecutor in the Dearth court. At

venire of fifty. Dawson stated that

The first indication of sentiment
on the part of the Senators came
when Attorney Moses B. Larry, for
the defense, insisted that Dawson,
who had been recalled as a defense
witness, be permitted to answer re-
garding the character Of some Of the
jurors drawn.
The prosecution objected vigorous
ly and the question as to sustaining
the prosecution objection was put to
a standing vote.
The defense was overruled by a
vote of 26 to 20.
Among the Senators voting to per-
nit the witness to answer, which was
the request of the defense, were Sen
ators Evans, Quillin and Clancy of
Indianapolis.
BY their vote the Senators ended
a long harangue and halted the ques-
tioning.

court of Delaware County, was the
next and last witness Of the day. He

cused of the murder of Ben Hance
and his wife.
Wolfe was found guilty in Dearth's
court of having murdered Ben Hance
and his wife on a country road near
Muncie. The Hances had been ac-
cused Of betraying Gerald Chapman,
bandit king, since executed, to the
Muncie police. Wolfe is alleged to
have been a friend Of Chapman.
Dawson, an automobile dealer of
Muncie, told the court that he had
known Dearth for more than thirty
years and had always been on friend
ly terms with him. He was called
to serve as jury commissioners pro
tenn, he stated, to take the place of
John c. Hampton, now mayor of
Muncie, in the Iatter's absence.
Describes jury Drawing
Asked to describe how he had
drawn juries Dawson explained that
his first assignment from the court
was drawing a special venire of so
to try Wolfe, and said:
"For the first fifty we Jake
Cavanaugh and u, went to the
office of the County Treasurer and
looked at the tax duplicates. We
selected four or five names and
Cavanaugh said, Let's GO and j
went with him. We went into the
stenoCrapher's room to get the
names typed. Cavanaugh said
I've got some names here that we
can use
when he said that we used his
names and didn't get any of the
names l had drawn OH that panel"
In and Out Box
The witness then described how all
the names were typed on slips of
paper and their journey to the office
of the clerk of the court. THE box
was empty when we put the names
into it and as soon as we did that
we again drew them out" Dawson
explained.
Cavanaugh read the names off the
slips which they had prepared but a
few moments before according to
Dawson and he put them down on
piece of paper.
Curiosity seems to have gotten
the best of Dawson because he
testified that he couldn't under
stand why we had to put the
names i'm the box ii we were going
to draw them right out again and

Brady drawled.
He told of how Mamie Wright
served on the jury three times and
each time under a slightly different
name. She was Mamie, Mayme and
Mrs. Frank Wright, while on the
tax duplicate it was given as Marie.
He denied that the controversy IN
the Dearth court is a fight between
two organizations.
Efforts of the defense were bent
toward showing that good people"
landed on Dearth juries, although
Van Mugs admitted that there were
Irregularities in their drawing.

-
Asphalt Depth.

interested citizens have besn Nm
vited. .4,
1t is understood that City Engi-
neer Chester c. Oberleas is preparing
for the board new specifications
which will cut the depth of both
asphalt and concrete pavement, but
strengthen the reinforcement of con-
crete.
Asphalt specifications now call for
six-inch concrete base, one and one. "
half inch asphalt binder course and
one and one-half inch asphalt surface
course. The board plans to cut the
top course to only one inch.
Concrste specifications call for a
six inch base, steel rod reinforcing
and two inch surface course of
concrete. --~
1t is proposed to change this to
six inch base, steel mesh reinforcing
and one inch top course cutting the
top course one inch. ~e
The changes would bring asphalt
paving costs down closer to con.
crete costs. Considerable argument
by engineers as to whether cutting
the depth of the top asphalt course
will lessen the wearing quality of
asphalt paving is expected in view
OF the fact that modern motor traf.
tic has ruined many indianapolis
asphalt streets in less than ten years. 4
