3rd Grand Jury for
Indiana Corruption
Found in Black Box

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July %. -
With Marion County prosecutors in
dicating that pay dirt has at last
been struck in the D. c. Stephenson
political scandal of Indiana, a third
Marion County grand jury today was
to hit the trail of the political probe.
Two local grand juries of the past
have left a shady track in their in
vestigations. The first jury failed to
return indictments by a reported vote
Of three for and two against, but ad-
mitted that peculiar conditions existed
in the jury itself and recommended
that a second body continue the in

This second jury was absorbing the
volume of "Stephensonia" at a high
rate of speed when it was discovered
an Indianapolis politician had attempt
ed to bride Claude A. Achey, jury
man, saying he had previously ''lined
up" another member to refuse to re-
turn indictments. Criminal Court
Judge James A. Collins dismissed i'm
mediately the second jury.
The mass of recorded testimony of
the two juries plus the contents of
the famous two black boxes and the
five bundles of papers recently sex-
humed by the prosecutors, will give
the third jury plenty of summer read
ing for some time.
Prosecutors today continued to pore
over the vast mass of private papers
of Stephenson, the man who fell from
the political throne of Indiana to a
convict's cell for the murder of an
Indianapolis girl.
They expressed particular interest
in two cancelled checks, one for $21,-

clined to say in whose favor the

Pleasant Bay Park was one mass

REMARKS OF THE GANG

the Gazette is criticizing the state
highway department or the manage
ment of that department, for the
Gazette has been such a good friend
of the administration of the
time.
Practically every other newspaper
in Arizona expressed this criticism
weeks and months ago, pointing out
that the state highway department
was a splendid political machine.
The legislature, realizing this also,
drafted the new highway bill calling
for commission control of the de-
partment. The governor, knowing
full we'll what a commission would do
to his machine, vetoed the bill, thereby
killing it and the appropriations
which might have kept the depart
ment intact and financed an improve
ment Of the Apache Trail road for
which funds are lacking now.
"The governor, to use slang, is out
on the end of limb, as a result of
the veto.
> after the meeting of citizens to
devise ways and means Of improving
the Apache Trail, the governor was
scratching his head, and remarking:
They damn me if / do, and they
damn me if l DON'T referring to the
demand for an extra session of the
legislature to pass highway relief
measures.
"Of course the state is damning the
governor! He brought it on himself
and on Arizona when he vetoed the
highway bill The state wanted q
businesslike and efficient highway
department; he wanted a political ma
chine. Now both has neither-no
money, no work.
"The legislature and the people
hold the whip handle-funds- land
they ought to hold it tight until the
governor realizes that he has got to
concede to the deer people,
"For once, the Gazette is on the
right side of the political fence. -

ernment.
The Salt River Valley Water Users
association, which built the Horse
Mesa dam, long ago performed its
part of a contract under which sec
ton of road was to be built to replace
the section which according to mathe-
matical certainty would be inundated.
Now that the foreseen has occurred,
it is proposed to call still another spe-
cial session of the Legislature so that
the damage wrought by the governors
"rnle or ruin" policy may be repaired
and the scenic highway opened. But
if the governor maintains his former
attitude toward the legislature an
other special session may be no more
productive than former ones.
The disaster to the Apache Trail is
a literal example of the "ruin" which
has grown out Of the executives rule
or ruin" policy, but in the long run it
may have advantages.
