QUASH RULINGS
in CRIME QUIZ
DUE SATURDAY
Important Decisions Waited
in Probes Launched by
Store Blast.
NO EVIDENCE PLEADED
Defendants WriggIe to
Block Prosecution o.
Series of Indictments.

Rulings on motions to quash
filed by twelve men who have been
indicted or charged by affidavit
with various alleged crimes since the
prosecutors office and the county
grand jury has been investigating
the crime situation in Indianapolis
following the fire and explosion at
the Traugott clothing store, Aug.
rs, will be given by Criminal Judge
James A. Collins Saturday.
The motions were filed Monday
when these men along with about
70 others were arraigned in Grim
inal Court. Judge Collins took the
rulings under advisement until Sat-
urday.
Booze Conspiracy Charged
Most important in the prosecutors
records is the alleged liquor con-
Spiracy case against Edward Trau-
gott, owner of the store in which
the blast occurred, Frederick
pickles .ORoark, former police
man; Homer Wright, alleged st.
Louis gangster under two other
Criminal Court charges; Paul
Scharffin, local attorney, and Donlad
Underwood, professional bondsman.
The motions averred there is not
sufficient evidence against the men
to constitute a public offenSe.
The indictment alleged the men
entered into a conspiracy to buy,
sell, manufacture and transport
liquor in Marion County. Only one
witness, Mrs. Josephine Fairhead,
7l3 S. Illinois ST., is named in the
indictment. 1t is understood the
men grouped at her residence to
consider purchase of an auto, which
the prosecutors Office will contend,
was to be used for booze running.
Felony Case Up
1t is said the grand jury has other
witnesses on this charge, whose
names have not been made public.
The case, second in Importance,
is that against Ray (Railroad)
Smith, Joey Jacobson, Harry Bur-
ton, Solly Epstein and man who
has not yet been arrested, who are
charged with conspiracy to commit
felony in false personation be-
fore Municipal Judge Clifton r.
Cameron two weeks ago.
This group, it is alleged, substi-
tuted two men for defendants in
a gambling case in which they were
all charged The men who were al
legged to have been substituted, Hy-
mic Nahamis and Max Goldsmith,
also are charged with false perso-
nation.
Wright, Player File
Wright also has filed, through his
attorney, Ira M. Holmes, motions
to quaSh charges of being an
habitual criminal and an ex-convict
in possession of a gun. Wright was
arrested following a bootleg battle
in Clinton which resulted in the
death Of Ewald Eckerle. He was
arrested in a north side apartment
with machine gun and a revolver
in his possession.
Later he was held in connection
with the Traugott investigation. He
and Charles Player returned from
st. Louis and charged with being
one of the bandits who held up the
