Mike Zabo intends to put a new
method of enforcing the Wright
bone dry act to a test here. He has
appealed to Vigo Circuit Court from
the city court where he was fined
$500 and costs and sentenced to
thirty days in Jail on a liqUAr
case.
Sam Beecher, city court judge,
sentenced Zabo after proceedings
the judge mapped out few months
ago in an effort to evade the slight
ly damp Wallace decision on the
dry law by the Indiana Supreme
Court.
The high tribunal ruled that liquor
search warrants must be issued on
actual knowledge instead of infor-
nation and belief. Judge Beecher
holds secret, one-sided hearings, fol-
lowed by search warrants, as a
method of getting around the de-
cision.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Feb. lathe
peach crop in many sections of In
diana has been almost totally
blighted, while the yield will be ma
terially reduced over the entire area,
Doyle Earring. secretary of the Indi-
ana Horticultural Society, and Prof.
G. L. Burkholder, of the horticul-
tural department at Purdue Uni
verSity announced today after COM
pleting a careful examination of
peach buds from large number of
orchards.
January Cold Fatal
The cold wave during the first few
days of January was responsible for
the loss. Coming as it does on the
heels sof two successive bad years,
the poor yield will be felt keenly by
peach growers of the State.
Prof. Burkholder's reports show
that practically all of the Hale and
Alberta peach buds in the vicinity
of Indianapolis have been killed.
Although live buds can be found on
Champion, Belle of Georgia and
Carman varieties.
Reports on Destruction
The destruction has been wide
spread. Reports from Aurora show
so to 80 per cent killing; Petersburg,
80; Vincennes, so to 80; Lafayette,
less than l alive; Mitchell, 90 to
SO killed; Decker, so to rs per cent.
In spite of the widespread killing,
the Purdue authorities advises that
by careful management, growers
who still have live buds may be able
to supply at least some of the many
consumers who demand peaches Of
the high Indiana quality.

Confining himself to the career of

the remainder of his talk to the
great emancipation as Statesman.
1.-THE honors accorded Lincoln are
not those accorded to mere man.
Hero worship never takes of the
form of granite, marble and bronze,
unless the object of that worship
first has been enshrined in the
hearts Of his people. Great souls
alone survived the test" Jewett de-
clared.

CRAWFORD WILL SEEK
GOVERNOR NOMINATION
Connersville Man to Enter Demo-
cratic Race Wednesday.

The long anticipated announce
ment of Earl Crawford, former men,
Der of the State highway commits
sion, for the Democratic nomination
for Governor will be made. Wednes-
day, his friends say.
Crawford, who lives at Corners
vile, was one of the commissioners
subjected to the fire of the State
board of accounts early in JackSon's
administration.
He was among those indicted by
the Marion County grand jury in
1925 when an effort was made in
the Legislature to enact bill which
would have enabled the Governor to
GUST all highway commissioners then
in Office. The indictments were dis
missed.
Crawford, the fifth to seek the
Democratic nomination, promises 10

and to make Il strenuous Statewide
campaign. He has been connected
with the Indiana Farm Bureau
Federation for some time.

son, Hill, Benadum, and Newman
were put in the grand jury room,
with guards inside and out. The
doors were kept open so the quartet
could be seen inside, in earnest
conversation.
Meanwhile, the State put Robin
son on the stand and the trial was
resumed.
Stephenson was on the witness
stand for almost an hour and
half Monday, but answered only a
few questions, because defense at
torneys began a battle, similar to
the one argued before, in the mo-
tons to quash the indictment, to
prevent Stephenson's testimony
from getting in the records.
Defense Blocks Answers
Defense objection blocked an
answer. Louis B. Ewbank, chief of
the defense counsel, contended the
State was able to bring prosecution
only on the contention that con-
cealment had tolled the statute of
limitation.
Therefore, he contended, conceal
ment must be shown before evi-
dence would be admissible as to
existence of the conspiracy.
Ewbank argued that because of
the number of persons alleged to
have knowledge of the alleged con-
spiracy, there could have been no
concealment.
The State commended the logical
and usual course would be to prove
that a conspiracy existed and then
to follow with evidence Of conceal
ment.
Judge McCabe agreed it was
within the discretion of the court to
govern what should be the order of
proof in the trial, but withheld
formal judgment until this morning.
Asks for Briefs
After hearing the arguments for
an hour and a half, McCabe asked
attorneys to submit briefs on the
question. These he looked over dur
ing the night for guidance in his
ruling this morning.
Stephenson'S few words followed
the defense opening statement by
Attorney Clyde Jones. The jury was
selected early in the forenoon. john
son made the States opening state
nent.

Benadum, from the sidelines
very respectfully-said:
THE court, of course, understands
the law and I have advised Mr..
Stephenson to that effect. I don't
know what his grand jury testimony
was. He alone knows that. He will
have to decide whether he will
avail himself of his constitutional
privilege"
y Good" calculated McCabe, with
apparent relief.
But Stephenson remarked: "I'm
not satisfied as to what the law is"
Put SquareIy Up to Steve
McCabe: "Its not a question of
your being satisfied. The question
is do you choose to testify or not?"
Stephenson, a bit nonpulssed, re-
peated IT am not satisfied"

chair and ordered briskly:
I 'Take the witness away. If he Is
not going to testify, bring on an
other witness"
Stephenson half rose from the
chair, saying: Il didn't mean I
wouldn't testify"
Remy arose and Stephenson sank
back.
Remy asked that the question be
repeated. The Stongrapher read the
now familiar query and Stephenson
doggedly replied:
Il am not fully advised as to my
rights and therefore I cannot an
Swer."
3 Refuses to Answer
Remy put another question: "I'll
ask you if, on or about Dec. 8, 1928,
you turned over $4,000 in an en-
velope to the defendant, Jackson?"
! Stephenson: "I am not fully adj
vised and cannot answer"
Judge McCabe, with asperity:
"You are just trifing with the court
when you make that statement. You
are fully advised"
Stephenson: II think am not"
McCabe: you are mistaken about
it, Mr. Stephenson"
Stephenson: "At least am truth
ful."
McCabe looked long at the wit
ness and then said:
There is nothing the court can
do to make him talk. Are we go
ing to sit here at the expense of
the county and let him consult with
his attorneys about one thing or
another? He was brought here to
testify, not to spend time talking
with his attorneys. My notion is
that he should be taken back where
he came from at once and stay
there until he is ready to testify"
Suggests Conference
Special Prosecutor johnson said
the State did not know what
Stephenson had in mind, but per-
haps if he were permitted a long
talk with his attorneys the point
might be cleared up.
"Of course, the court will realize,
said johnson, that we are anxious
to have him testify, or we would not
have brought him here. I suggest
the court permit him to go to the
grand jury room until 2 p. m. and
then we will see if he is ready to
testify"

Fred Robinson, former State
purchasing agent and lifelong friend
of former Governor Warren T. Nc
Cray, was the second State witness
today in the trial of Governor Ed
Jackson in Criminal Court on a
charge of conspiracy to bride
McCray.
RobinSon's testimony proceeded
without interruption until he was
called upon to relate what took
place in Jacksons Office the morn
ing the alleged bribery offer was
planned and carried to McCray.
Detail what was said in the
presence of Jackson?" was the ques-
ton from Prosecutor William H.
Remy that brought Defense Attor-
ney Silas Kivett to his feet with an
objection.
The gist of his objections centered
on the contention that RobinSonS
knowledge of the alleged conspiracy
voided the States claim of conceal
ment, without which they could
have been no prosecution because of
the statute of limitations.
No ConceaIment, Says Kivett
eff there was any offenSe, it was
not concealed" Kivett asserted.
"The defendant is called upon to
answer only those acts of conceal
ment by means of which the al
legged eoncealment was effected, as
stated in the indictment.
whereas a number of persons
are shown to have had knowledge
of the alleged offense, the only def
mite acts of concealment alleged in
the Indictment were dirctd at War

that Robinson, Noel or Lyons we're
placed under any restraint"
IF this case had been outlined in
the indictment as it was in Mr..
