PRINTING MACHINE
BUSINESS GROWS

Demands for repairs on printing
and bookbinding machines formerly
resulted in out Of town firms send
ing representative to indianapolis
to make such repairs, but the Vaser
Machine Company, 420 S. Pennsyl-
vania ST, has been able to take care
of large numbers of these jobs in re-
cent years.
The company also makes a special
ty of building machines for needs in
the printing and paper box industry.
Industrial concerns are installing
their own packing machinery as a
step in speeding up delivery of pro-
ducts. Instead of waiting for sew
eral weeks for orders to be filled for
packing boxes. many concerns are
turning out their own boxes with
special machinery. ..-
The Vaser Machine Company
makes and rebuilds practically all
types Of printing machinery. The
company has added extra equipment

FAST SERVICE ON
TRACTION LINES

"The keen competition existing
throughout the industrial world at

freight agent of the Union Traction
system.
The company has a direct line and
fast freight transit between Indian
apolis and Indiana points north and
from Indianapolis, including some
500 points in Ohio and Michigan. 1t

provided between Indianapolis and

During the past year the company
has put in service forty-five new
freight cars and rebuilt many others,
as well as extended and improved
its yards and terminal facilities at
many points, in order to take care
of the increasing business. So popu-

B. Larry, for Dearth had asked
What do you know about Judge
Dearth's reputation for honesty and
integrity the verbal battle was on.
Representative DELPHI l.. McKes-
son, in charge of the prosecution, OBJ
jected on the ground that there is
no reason to drag this hearing out.
We have not attacked his integrity
but have attacked his conduct in Of
flee. The question before us is, is
he a competent man to sit on the
bench as a judge"
to consider when trying man for
corruption-men of high standing
would not be guilty of corruption
and this evidence should go in"
Limit Number
While McKesson and Larry were
making their points Attorney Fred
erick Van Mugs, for the defense
talked with Dearth, Van Ogle, one of
his attorneys and Wilbur Ryman,
co-counsel and made an offer to limit
the number of character witnesses to
twelve on each side. This was ac-
cepted by the State.
Then Fred z. Jewett. DR.. d. G.
Jump, Jesse White and John II.
Brown, all of Muncie, testified as to
the good character of the Judge.
Jewett and Jump are members of
the High st. NJ. E. Church, in Mum
Gle, which Dearth attends and where
he formerly taught a Sunday school
class.
Andrew B. Ross, a retired farmer
of Delaware County and Louis E.
SWEETS, a former Methodist minister,
testified hat they had served on
juries under Dearth and that the
defendant had never sought to in
fiuence their opinions.
How husband and wife can both
serve on juries at the same time was
told by S. c. Herman, Cowan, Ind,
whose wife served on the petit jury

WITNESSES TELL
OF SERVICE ON
DEARTH'S JUR|ES
SiXty-Five Sworn by the
Defense; Cavanaugh
Proves Boomerang.

Character witnesses and jurors oc.
cupied the spotlight in the defense
testimony in the impeachment trial
of Judge Clarence w. Dearth of the
Delaware Circuit Court before the In
diana Senate Monday afternoon. The
morning had been given over largely
to cross-examination of Dearth's jury
commissioner, Jacob Cavanaugh,
who, although called by the defense,
turned out to be a capital witness
for the prosecution, admitting
his unfamiliarity with the law gov
erning the selection of jurors and
having no adequate knowledge of the
term "freeholder." He was appoint
ed by the judge in 1922, and has
served since that time.
Witnesses Sworn
SiXty-five witnesses were sworn by
the defense, but only six gave testi-
mony regarding Dearth's character.
Several others served as Jurors
either on the regular panels or as
pickup" or both, and all sought to
strengthen Dearth's case by declar-
ing that so far as they knew the
judge had nothing to do with their
selection nor had he sought to influ-
ence them regarding their decisions.
Many were members Of the High ST.
NJ. E. Church, where Dearth is teach
err Of Sunday school class, of which
Cavanaugh is president and almost
all were politically active.
Defense counsel has announced
that only twelve character witnesses
will be called from each side upon
agreement with the House of Repre-.
sentatives' board of managers, who
are in charge of the prosecution.
Lambert First
Former State Senator David A..
Lambert lead off the character wit
nesses. He is now a township trus-
tee. Others included Fred E. Jewell,
Ball Brothers superintendent, and
DR.. S. G. Jump, both members of the
Dearth church.
John II. Brown was outstanding
among the jurors that testified in
point Of service. He testified that he
served on twenty-three Dearth juries
in two years.
Mrs. George r. Dale, wife of the
editor of the Muncie Post-Democrat,
was called to the stand to submit
available copies of that paper for the
last three years. 1t was an article
in this paper which aroused Dearth' S
ire and caused him to take them
away from newsboys. This confisca-
ton of property, suppressious of the
press and alleged jury irregularities
are the basis of the impeachment.
Senator Earl w. Payne of Bloom.
ington questioned Mrs. Dale and
brought out the fact that some of
the papers belonged to the newsboys
when they were taken away by the
