DEATH PROBES SLATED
Four matters Of compelling pub-

il interest will face the Marion
County grand jury Tuesday when
its sessions are resumed following
months vacation, William H.
Sheaffer, grand jury deputy prose-
cutor, said today.
Investigations will be commenced
Immediately of the death dive of
the "skyrocket' roller coaster Sat-
urday night at Riverside Park in
which Miss Nellie White, 10, lost
her life, and of the second murder
at the Green Mill barbecue stand
on E. Thirty Eighth ST., Sheaffer
said.
Formal probe of the Marion
County primary of May 8, hanging
fire since Archibald Hall, defeated
for the G. o. P. nomination for Con-
gress, made charges that the cleo
ton was not regular, probably will
be delayed to get other matters
finished early.
May Act on last
Whether the grand jury will look
into the circumstances surrounding
the 100000 explosion and fire of the
Traugott clothing store and the
Em-Roe sporting goods company,
200 to 217 w. Washington ST., was
undetermined today.
eff an arrest is made" Sheaffer
said, this body will be compelled
to investigate, to indict or dismiss.
If there is no arrest, the grand jury
could initiate its own probe, and
might do so. If there are any unex-
planned circumstances which might
throw light on the cause of the blast,
the grand jurors may feel it their
duty to look into this too, al
though there is no arrest"
Along with its investigation of
the murder of Terrence (Red) King
at the Green Mill night resort early
this month, for which Philip Smith
is in jail, complete history of the
resort from May, 1926, when Wilkin-
son Haag, drug chain official, was
slain until the second murder was
committed is expected to come to
light.
Coaster Crash Probed
Y Lawrence Ghere and Rupert NC
Donald, already indicted, will face
trial for the Haag murder this fall
in Criminal Court.
The Green Mill changed hands
frequently in the last two years,
preliminary investigation have
shown.
In it's effort to fix the blame for
the fatal leap of the skyrocket, the
grand jury will be aided by the
findings of two probes already
under way. Coroner G. H. Keever
is conducting a hearing, and T. D.
Lee, assistant building inspector, is
investigating for the city.
Jerry Jones, SO, of Bis North
western Ave, who was stationed at
the brakes which failed to stop the
speeding cars as they completed the
ride. is free on $4,000 bond on a
"qe of manslaughter.
airing in municipal court is set
Sept. IA, but it is likely grand
Jury action before that time either
will transfer the case to Criminal
Court or free Jones of any blame.
Remy to Push Quiz
Fewer than the usual number of
routine cases will face the jury,
Sheaffer said, because most of these
we're disposed of late in July.
Only those cases arising in Au-
gust await grand jury action. Sheaf-
fer is at his Office today, planning
the work, in anticipation of the first
session Tuesday.
Prosecutor William H. Remy, who
has been away from his office since
Aug. /, is expected to return Mon
day for arraignment of.s prisoners
already indicted, or charged in af-
fidavits fled during the grand jury
recess.
Remy has promised he will take
personal charge of the vote fraud
probe before the grand jury, and
will lay evidence his investigators
have unearthed, as well ss that
compiled by Hall in his recount.
