Indianapolis. Ind. July IL (CP)-
The indianapolis Times disclosures
today purporting to connect Gov. Ed.
Jackson with the ku klux Khan "in-
visible government" in Indiana came
JUS. as the ten month old investisa-
ton for which Times was largely
responsible reached its most crucial

An impasse had been caused by
the failure of D. G. Stephenson to
provide Prosecutor William H. Remy
of Marion county with documentary
evidence Of his charges. Remy had
been promised such proof during a
four hour conference that he and his
aides held with Stephenson at the
Michigan state prison last Tuesday.
It was to be delivered by friend
of Stephenson-reveal by the
Times. a Scripps- Howard newspaper,
as Lloyd O. Hill. the former Khan
leaders, attorney.
Remy had not Received the papers
Sunday and he was reported prepar-
ing a statement which was to say
that Stephenson lad not made good
hij promise.
The statement did not become
public. because of the Times revela-
tons.

Satisfied With Ford's Apology

Shicago. July II up = Aaron
Sapiro-"just an accident of destiny
in the vindication of the Jewish
people," as he described himself
is completely satisfied with Henry
Ford's published apologize for what
Ford's Dearborn Independent has
said about the Jews.
So satisfied is he. in fact. that he
said after returning home from
Canada last night that he believed
his million dollar libel suit agains,
Mr.. Ford and the Dearborn hide
pendent would be settled out OF
court-possibly today.
"The retraction. apology and re-
cantation have fulfilled the pur-
poses of the suit. SO far as the
main intention is concerned" he
said.
Il certainly have no desire to
cause Mr.. Ford any embarrassment
whatsoever. and ! mean that to APP
ply from all standpoints."
Mr.. Sapro. Chicago lawyer
whose activity in agricultural eco
nomics and cooperatives drew the
editorial fires which kindled the
libel suit, said that negotiations for
an out-of-court settlement have
been conducted lover the heads"
of Mr.. Fords counsel. He said he
believed the public retraction was a
bigger surprise to Senator James A.
Reed of Missouri and Stewart Ham

others concerned.

Stephenson, but the failure of two
grand juries to return indictments
had disheartened him.
What was regarded as an offer to
cooperate with officials was contain
ed in a statement by Boyd Gurley.
editor Of the Times.
1.-THE great court of public opin-
ion." Gurley said, will now pass on
the questions raised by D. c. Steph-
enson last September when he said
he could prove by documentary evil
dence that political corruption exist
ed in the state.
The announcements that other
documents will be published can be
confidently relied upon. What they
prove or disprove will be left TO the
citizenry'
An extra edition of the Times con-
tanning its disclosures reached the
streets in time to catch workbound
Indianapolis.
Speculation turned today to the
possible effect of the statute Of linn
=
secutions not commenced within two
years of the occurrence OF the al
legged criminal act. Attorneys said
the statute makes exceptions in
cases wherein it can be proved there
was a conspiracy to suppress the
evidence necessary to convict. In
such cases. the statute Is inopera-
tive.
The conjecture advanced by the
Times today was that the check it
reproduced was the same that Floyd
Christian. Noblesvilie attorney. en-
amined months ago.
Christian was quoted by the Times
as saying it was the check. He saw
it, he said, while Stephenson was
awaiting his sentence to life impris-
onment. Other checks of similar ma
ture were described by the attorney.
Stephenson told him. Christian
said. that the checks represented
some huge amount. 100000 I be-
lieve, and he said most of it went
, in TO politics"
| Remy has at his command a wea-
pom that was not available during
the first two grand jury investiga-
tions. While grand jury is not In
regular session. under recently en-
acted law, the prosecutor may file
criminal information on his own re-
sponsibility and trial may be had on

Both came back to the game later,
but not together. and crap" game

Joined. Edel threw the dee for sew
cral of the players, incl, ding Mas
triano, but did not put in my money.
At or half past toJr o'clock,
when the game broke up. Mastriano.
fIesse testified, threw all lis winning
on bed and in plain sight of every
one, took account OF tbs finances.
There was between $50 Grd S75 in
the pile. Hesse said, and on being
asked whether or not he remember
ID the denomination of any of the
bills. answered that there was at
least one yellbwback so bill and
three SO bills. Hesse returned to the
room shortly after this for n cup OF
coffee. he testified. and when he
came back Mastriano was still there.
During the course of the cross
examination of Hesse. he stated
that he had seen a whiskey bottle
in Mastriano's possession but there
was no further questioning along
that line.
Andrew P. Dowick. a schoolmatc
of Mastriano's and an acquaintance
Of Edel's. was next called to the
stand and testified to the events at
the card game in the Hotel MATHS
of which Hesse had given the de-
tails. His testimony added little to
that already given except to bring
out definitely that Mastriano had
ventured nothing in the crap game
and that as far as he knew, Mas
triano had at least SIS in his pocket
during the course of the evening.
Following Dowick. Harry Field.
clerk of the Hotel MATHS. was sworn.
Field proved to be another of the
group with whom Mastriano had
played cards and dice on that last
night before his disappearance and
his testimony, too, was confined to
the events at the game.
Asked what time Edel had come.
into the room for the last tilne.
Field stated that 1t was about
1910. He remembered the time, he
said, because Edel had asked.
what time it. was" within a few
minutes after he came in and
someone. he couldn't remember
who, said ten minutes past H."

Field. however, maintained that

that Edel was not present at that
time.
A short recess was taken during
