ASKS JURY ACT
IN FIRE PROBE
Coroner Gives Reports on
GrayStone Tragedy.

Information gathered by Coroner
G. H. Keever after prolonged inves-
tigation of the Graystone Apart
ment Hotel fire, 239 N. Illinois st.,
in which nine lives were lost Nov.
13, will be turned over to the Ma
rion County grand jury, with rec
ommendation that they ascertain
who was directly responsible"
Such was the conclusion of a. re-
port on the tragedy made public by
the coroner today.
1t pointed out that old papers,
some dated Oct. IS, an oil-soaked
barrel and other infiammable ma
tarials were found in the elevator
shaft, where the fire originated. It
called attention to the inadeauacy
of the single fire escape in the rear
OF the building and the lack of
modern f1reproof walls.
Both the manager, Miss Frances
Welding, and the owners, O.. J.
Smith Realty Company, had been
given several warnings by inspec-
tors before the fire occurred, the re-
port stated.
Failure to remedy the situation,
even after tenants had complained,
the coroner termed criminal care
lesSnesS."
Eight tenants and one fireman lost
their lives. Fourteen were injured
in the fire, which occurred early on
Sunday morning.

STRIKE AT INDICTMENT
BY PAUL w. WHITE
United Press Staff Correspondent

CINCINNATI, Dec. 12-Attack-
Ing Charles P. Taft, county prosecu-
tor, in two courts today, the forces
OF George Remus charged that the
State by intimidation" of witnesses
is denying the former bootleg king a
"fair and impartial trial for the
murder of his wife Imogene.
At Columbus, the State Supreme
Court denied an injunction sought
by Remus, to RESTRAIN the Hamilton
County prosecutor from intim-
idating defense witnesses" The
court held there was no cause for
such action.
John S. Berger, Los Angeles pro-
moter, appeared here before Judge
Chester r. Shook with a motion to
Quash the perjury indictment re-
turned against him Saturday in
connection with his testimony in de-
fenSe of Rer1uS. Argument on the
motion was postponed until Tues
day.
An attorney for Berger, Los
Angeles promoter, outside the court
room circulated copies of a letter
to Prosecutor Taft. The letter de-
manded a retraction of the pros
ecutor's alleged statements bearing
on the perjury indictment. Berger
threatened to sue Taft unless the
latter retracted by p. m. today.
The sum named was $500,000.
Wants Indictment Quashed
III cfr al &N~
Remus, served at attorney for Ber-
ger and asked that the indictment
be quashed on the following princi-
pal grounds:
& 1. That it is defective in the
manner in which the offense sought
to beb charged.
2. That it is void for duplicity.
3. That it is indefinite, uncer-
tain and incomplete in that it
charges the defendant in truth "was
arrested and convicted of State
offense, to wit, felony without
setting forth the offense or jurisdic-
ton in which said offense is alleged
to have been committed.
In explanation Of the duplicity
charge Berger said in court that he
understood the picture of a 27-year-
old notorious convict had been
shown the grand jury and the mem
bers told it was photograph OF
Berger.
II charge the prosecutors Office
with fraud and ask permission to go
before the grand jury myself" he
said angrily.
Intimidation Charged
Remus' petition to the Supreme
Court charged pressure was being
brought to bear to influence testi-
mony" at his trial. The action was
filed by Charles Plotnack, as attor-
ney for RemuS.
Remus charged defense witnesses
have been and are being intimidated
by activities of Taft's Office" and
that unless this is stopped he will
be denied fair and impartial trial.
Two Remus witnesses, Vernon
Chumbley and John Berger, "al-
ready have been indicted for per-
jury and others have been coerced
or intimidated," the petition asserts
Another witness, DR.. Franklin E.
Shaw" the petition continues, "be-
came fugitive from subpoena
when he heard Chumbley had been
indicted.

the Burns Detective Agency, re-
Sumed testifying today in the

the money, Ruddy said, came from
Burns agency officials.
