FLOOD RELIEF
PLAN is URGE
Bill Providing Payment by
Government Will Hasten
Proposal.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
limited Press STAFF CnrreSnondnnA

WASHINGTON, Feb 17.-Presi-
dent Coolidge and Administration
leaders are seeking a compromise
flood relief proposal designed to
meet, in part, the objections Of
southern Mississippi Valley States
to local contributions, provided in
the present Administration plan.
The report of the House yester-
day of bill providing for entire
payment of cost by the Federal
Government, drafted by the flood
control committee, will hasten the
compromise plan. Among the pro-
poSals considered are:
/. Having the States pay 10 in
stead of 20 per cent of control costs.
2. Paying of the cost of emergency
flood contrrl works by the Govern
men, with the States still paying
for the land necessary to carry
them out.
3. Payment by the Government
of all costs for five years, with State
contributions thereafter.
4. Construction of the project by
Government appropriations, on a
year-to-year basis, with an eco
nomic commission, meanwhile I'M
dertaking survey to determine
just what the proportionate ex-
penSe should be.
The first two proposals have come
from high Administration officials,
while the last two were suggested
by Chairman Madden Of the APP
preparations Committee.

Boy Dru1US Pictures as
Parents Clash OUer Him
Lad, Happy as Father Is
Given Custody, Eats
Candy With Judge.

John Graf, 6, drew pictures at a
Circuit Court counsel table as his
divorced parents waged legal bat
tie for his custody.
A partial victory was won by both
sides. John Graf, railroad machin-
;st, 1923 Fletcher Ave, the father,
gets to keep the custody of his son.
The mother, Mrs. Frank King, now
remarked, can have him once a
week at her apartment at Twelfth
and Alabama SITS.
The mother sobbed when Judge
Harry o. Chamberlin made the rul-
ing. The boy seemed happy, be-
cause he claims he's satisfied to re-
main with his father, his grand
father and his two aunts at the
Fletcher Ave. address.
The parents we're divorced in De-
cember, 1924, and the sons custody
was awarded officially to the
fathers grandmother. Since then
the grandmother has died, and the
mother brought suit for modification
of the order.
1t was modified to the extent
that John can spend the night with
his mother, and each alternating
school holiday, beginning with
George Washington's birthday.
1t is unusual that the child should
be given to custody of the father.
The sister of the father, aunt of
John Jr., was awarded the official
custody of the boy. This means he
will continue to live with his
father.
John likes candy, he told Judge
Chamberlin. After the evidence was
completed, Judge Chamberlin asked
that the boy accompany him to his
private office.
Sure" said John, and he climbed
on the judges knee to eat candy

STEVE BACK ON JOB

BIZ United Press
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, Feb. II.
ID. G. Stephenson. his day in court
ended. was back in the Indiana
State Prison here today, working in
one Of the prison factories.
The former leader of the Ku KluX
Khan, now life prisoner for murder,
whose testimony in Governor Ed.
Jackson s trial was one of the high
lights, was returned to the prison at
$50 o'clock Thursday night in
custody of guards. He had been in
Indianapolis since Monday, when
he was called as a State witness.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-02-17


Jackson made the remark to Robin
son that he had not presented the
matter in the proper manner.
Only One Inference
"Then Jackson went to McCray
and said what was testified to in
this court.
Applying those things to this
case it is the duty of the court TO
consider the evidence in this case
in the most favorable light accept
able to the State, but so far and
unless there Is some conflict in the
evidence only one inference can be
drawn and that is in favor Of the
defense motion.
TN deciding this case it is the
duty Of the court to consider all
facts as shown by the evidence and
to draw all the inference that the
jury might draw.
1.-The evidence falls short on the
face of it on the point of conceal
ment. There are many allegations
in the indictment that have not
been proved. However, agree with
Mr.. Johnson that it is sufficient that
if one instance by the defendant
intending to conceal the alleged
crime would be proved"
AS soon as the court had given
the ruling, the order to return D.
G. Stephenson, former Indiana Klan
dragon, to the Indiana State prison
at Michigan City, was given The
guards rushed to the county jail
and whisked "Steve" back to prison.
Stephenson, who had been here
since Monday afternoon, was kept
in the grand jury all morning
Thursday awaiting the order while
attorneys argued the defense mo-
ton. After lunch at the Jail, Ste
phenSon was not removed from
there until after p. m. when the
return trip was started.
Stephenson attempted to testify
in the trial Monday afternoon but
was blocked by defense objections
Fred Robinson, former State pur-
chasing agent, took the stand Tues
day morning after the former Khan
dragon changed his mind Monday
night about testifying.
Finally, Tuesday afternoon he de-
cided to testify but was prevented
from doing so until Wednesday be-
cause defense attorneys kept Rob-
inson on the stand all day.
Steve Followed BY Noel.
When Stephenson did testify it
was marked with rapid fire ex-
changes between himself and the
defense counsel.
Stephenson was followed by
James w. Noel, attorney for Nc
Cray when the latter was con-
victed in Federal Court; William
P. Evans, former prosecutor, whose
resignation left the opening for
the alleged bride offer, and then
McCray, whom, under great emo
tional strain, told the court and
jury Of the offers by Robinson and
Jackson but did not say enough to
convince the court he had been
placed in fear and for this reason
concealed the alleged crime.
Harry McGlenn, investigator for
Remy, testified Thursday morning
he had seen Robert w. Lyons. for
mer Khan financial agent, who was
supposed to have been in Jackson's
office when Robinson and Jackson
made the alleged proposals to Nc
Cray, in the Miami Valley Hospital
at Dayton, Ohio, where Lyons was
operated on last Saturday for APP.

: It became known during the day
that Lyons had planned to be moved
to the courtroom here Thursday. but

been in favor Of filing the motion
to set aside the jury and return on
the directed verdict. They said
jackson was "highly in favor of
: having his case presented to the
FULLEST extent"
When McCabe left the bench all
attorneys shook hands with him.
Jones' Daughter Ill.
Jones came up and said he was
leaving Immediately because his
daughter was sick with diphtheria.
: THAT Is the one thing that in
Huenced me to file the motion with
the court" he said. my daughter
~ very i'll and could not have
continued in the case any longer
had it gone on.
I'VE felt that this would be the
ultimate end of the situation even
though we had presented our side
so we decided on the motion"
The court Sympathized with Jones
because of his daughters illness
and expressed hope that she re-
cover. Jones thanked him and bur-
riedly left the courtroom.
When the court took the bench at
4 p. m. he apologized to the at
/. torneys for being late in returning
to the court.
II don't know whenever I have
been presented with so puzzling a
proposition" he said.
No Evidence of Threat
After citing series of authorities
and court rulings McCabe then
launched into a discussion OF the
evidence.
II don't believe any witness mem
toned the Ku-Klux Khan by name
in conversation with McCray," he
said. IT believe Robinson said one
of them was a political genius and
that If McCray accepted the PROPOSE
ton he could not be convicted of any
charge before any jury. So far as
Robinson'S conversation with Nc
Cray I'm not sure if Robinson said
McCray could not afford to act on
the proposition or not.
But at any rate, nothing was
said by Robinson, that I can recall,
in the nature of a warning, threat
or that McCray couldn't afford to
reject the offer.
80 far as his talk Is concerned
there was no act of concealment as
I recall the testimony. When
Robinson first heard the talk in the
Secretary Of States Office he knew
McCray better than anyone and
said McCray would not accept the
proposition and he was right.
MIcCray Knew Own Mind
"And Stephenson in his testimony
reached a state of conclusion that
somebody said they had thrown
scare into McCray and put the
fear of God into his heart Of
course we know that would only be
an opinion.
1.-THE evidence, I think, shows
whoever said that was grievously
mistaken.
1.-THE fact as to the crime of con-
spiracy to bride an officer of the
State is, in my mind, an inference
that could hardly be drawn by
sane jury, for the reason that if
nothing else, McCray was the chief
executive of the State of Indiana
and was a man of wide experience
and he was not minded.
There is nothing before the
court in the evidence of Robinson's
visit to the Governor that shows
any evidence of fraud, artif1ce or
trickery. He came back to the men.
and reported that McCray had
turned down the I1rnnnSition Then
