STEVE APPEAL
BRIEF is FILED
Two Volumes Of About
1000 Pages in Document.

Failure of the Marion County
Criminal Court Clerk to sign the
transcript in change Of venue to
Hamilton Circuit Court; objections
to speeches made by Judge Will E.
Sparks in admitting certain testi-
mony and to testimony of various
witnesses, particularly that of DR..
John X. Kingsbury, forms the basis
for the appeal brief in the d. G.
Stephenson murder case filed by
Stephenson counsel with the Su-
preme Court clerk today.
The brief is in two volumes con-
tanning total of about 1000 pages.
Sixteen copies were filed.
Kingsbury's testimony is objected
to on the grounds that it was ad-
mitted as a dying statement, al
though given by Madge Oberholtzer
on March II, 1925. She died April
IA, 1925, and Stephenson was held
for murder.
In the Judges speech to which
objection is made he points out that
it is indirect murder to cause sui
eide and illustrates the point with
the hypothetical case of a woman
killing herself because of loss cf vir-
tue.
Seventy-five points are set out In
the brief, one of which is the con-
tention that stephenson should
have been permitted to remain in
Hamilton County jail during appeal
and efforts for new trial. He is
serving life sentence at Michigan
City penitentiary.

Weather Turns Colder for
Title Battle.

CHICAGO, Sept. 22-Jack Demp-
sey weighed in at 1929 pounds this
afternoon for his heavyweight
championship fight with Gene Tun-
ney. Tunney will weigh in at 2:3O,
Chicago time.
The weather turned suddenly
colder this afternoon, and there was
a decided suggestion of rain. The
day has dawned raw and cold, but
bright sun during the morning
seemed to indicate excellent weather
for the fight.
Shortly after noon, however,
clouds obscured the sun and the
wind gre wraw again. A slight mist
was reported in some parts Of the
city.
Tickets still were available today
in considerable quantities. Lines of
buyers waited in the main ticket
office for a chance to buy seats, and
branch Offices scattered over the
loop seemed to be doing a good
business.
There was no selling of tickets at
a premium, however. and specula-
tors who acquired blocks of seats
despite Tex Richards precautions
were glad to unload them at box
Office prices.

STAFFORD new
LEGION Chief
New York Man Is Elected
Without Opposition.

BIZ United Press
PARIS, Sept. Commander
Edward E. Spafford, United States
navy, of New York, today was elect
ed commander Of the American
Legion, without opposition.
Denver, Miami, Detroit and Louis
vile entered strong bids for the 1929
American Legion convention. The
1923 convention was awarded to San
Antonio, Tex. last year. Boston,
Seattle and Washington, D. c., were
campaigning for the 1880 conyen-
ton and Hot Springs, Ark, wanted
the legion in 1892.
The convention today adopted a
resolution urging organization of a
National Department of Aeronautics
with cabinet representation equal to
that enjoyed by the army and navy.
Another resolution opposed further
reduction of American naval
strength unless other powers re-
duced proportionately.
General william Mitchell, former
second in command Of the nited
States Army's air force finally won
out in his efforts to obtain the
Legion's approval for the immediate
organization of a Department of
Aeronautics. The resolution, as
adopted today urged the organiza-
ton "as soon as possible"
Mitchell put up a strong fight on
the convention floor to eliminate the
quoted words but was unsuccessful.

CLEVELAND, Sept. 22.-Mother
love played the dominant role in a
municipal court room here this aft
ernoon, as the habeas corpus pro-
.ceedings of Mrs. Sam Smith for a
baby boy which she declares was
lost in a shuttle of hospital baskets,
opened before Common Pleas Judge
Carl v. Weygandt.
1.-The court room was crowded to
the doors as the hearing began. Mrs.
Smith, unable to leave her bed at
the hospital, where she is nursing
baby girl she says is not he1S, was
represented by her husband, Sam,
and her attorney, Charles F Nc
Connell.
Just previous to the opening of
the hearing, Luther Day, attorney
for the hospital, filed answer TO the
habeas corpus proceedings of the
Smiths, in which he said that the
hospital never did have a George
Smith" on record. Mrs. Smith pre-
viously had stated she named the
baby George"
Intense interest was evidenced
among the spectators as Judge
Weygandt pounded his gavel for
silence.

account.
Duvall denied the promises,
and said he gave Armitage
back $4,000 after the cleo
ton.
Special Prosecutor John w. Holtz-
man devoted much of his time in
argument today to a character
sketch of Armitage, designed to
convince the jury that while Ar
mitage kept saloon and gambling
house in his earlier days, and of late
years has made money by selling
materials to contractors on city
jobs, he was a man of his word.
He pictured Armitage as a man
who followed the peculiar code of
the elite gambler, code by which
he might remain silent until forced
to talk. but by which he told moth
ing but the truth when he spoke.
Ryan portrayed Arnitage as an
opportunist who "billed and cooed"
around Duvall in an attempt to
gain his favor.
Charges Double Cross
"Armitage tried to double cross
Duvall, but Duvall fooled him." said
Ryan.
Recalling that Armitage did not
communicate with DuVall between
May, and September, after the al
legged deal for the appointments was
made5 Ryan declared:
"If Armtiage was such wise old
guy why didn't he keep in touch
with Duyall, to see if some of his
appointments still were alive?"
IF Armitage had everything cut
and dried, why did he drive all the
way to Pekin, ILL.,, in the rain at
night, to see Duvall after the elec-
tion?"

fenSe spoke this afternoon and
Prosecutor William H. Remy COM

jury reached decision during the
night.

BIG RIVER, Saskatchewan, Sept.
22.-The tragic story of the Lac La
Plonge mission fire, in which the
sister superior was credited with
superb heroism, was brought to Big
River today.
Nineteen boys and a nun lost
their lives when fire spread through
the Beauval mission early Tuesday.
First word of the tragedy was re-
ceived here late Wednesday, when
the mission launch arrived with an
urgent appeal for medical supplies.
Immediately officials here set
about the task of rushing aid to the
little settlement about 120 miles
north of here, through the Sas-
katchewan north woods.
Crushed in Staircase
First to learn of the impending
danger shortly after midnight Mon
day was the Sister Superior, who
was awakened by the roar of flames
an dthe crash Of falling timbers, it
was reported today.
The Sister Superior rushed to the
alarm bell and then assembled an
outer staircase to the boys dormi-
tory. She then called upon the
young occupants to follow her, but
the victims crushed each other at
the main staircase.
At the bottom of the stairs the
nineteen bodies of the children were
found later. the report said.
In the girls dormitory there was
order and the occupants escaped
without injury. The elder girls car
ried their smaller companions to
safety.
IThe nun who lost her life in an
attempt to save the boys was Sis
ter Lea.
Rush Aid to Survivors
Two government searlanes should
have reached shore Of La Plonge to-
day with food. blankets and medical
supplies to save the lives of sixty
destitute survivors of the fire.
Big River is the northern air base
for the forest air patrol service. A
big passenger Varava plane was i'm
mediately rushed with emergency
supplies to lie a La Crosse, thirty
miles northwest of Lac La Plonge
the site of Hudson's Bay post and
Of another Catholic mission, where
DR.. Amyot of Regina, with other Of
ficials, had gone for the opening of
a small hospital the day before.
Mission 300 Years Old
The plane was then sent south
again to the scene of the tragedy,
and will return to Big River for
more aid. The first sharp frosts Of
the long winter already were crack
ling through the north, and unless
immediate steps are taken, more
deaths may be expected from ex-
posure. Food and warm clothing
were the first needs.
From the archbishop's palace in
st. Boniface. Man, the century old
citadel of the Catholic faith in
western Canada, 1t was learned that
the Beauval mission at Lac La
Blonge was one of the oldest mis-
sions Of the pioneering church,
whose record Of service and suffer-
ing in Canada extends back for
more than 300 years.
The mission lies on the Old Hud-
sons Bay Company route to the
west from Ft. Prince of Wales, now
known as Ft. Churchill.

her a man in a next door Office

Dempsey is the sentimental favor
ite. The Middle West likes him. He
is a Middle West type. This is an
other way of saying he is human.
But there is difference between
sentiment and cash on the line.
A miscellany of rurnors pollute
the rarified air Of the stockyards.
You hear that no less a parsonage
than Tex Rickard is managing
Dempsey, that it is "in the bag" for
the ex-champior to come back, that
a gambling coup, backed by $250,000
has fixed the referee. that anything
can happen.
