INDIANA GOVERNOR
 IN COURT TODAY

charges which resulted in his peni- tentiary sentence.
 The state will picture McCray as a man harassed by financial wor- riea facing prosecution. and yet having the courage to refuse to bar ter public office.
 It appeared certain today that the first skirmish of the trial would cen- ter around the statute of limitations which outlaws prosecution two years after crime is committed, unless the crime was concealed from pubic knowledge.
 The state charged that Jackson. rot only offered the bribe. but at tempted to- conceal it and once threatened to interfere with a parole which McCray obtained from the penitentiary.
 To Ask Acquittal.
 The defense was expected to mo- tion for an outright acquittal on the grounds that prosecution had been outlawed by time.
 It was thought probable that the state would call McCray to testify against the man now holding hi. former position. McCray's health was reported to have suffered from his prison confinement and accord ing to reports, he has not recovered
 The background of the trial is furnished by the alleged dominance which the ku Nlux klan was said to have exerted over Indiana politics while D. C. Stephenson led the klan.
 The former klan leader now is serving a life sentence in the state penitentiary for the murder of Q young woman. It was forecast that he might be a state witness in Jackson's trial.
 Stephenson has contended that his penitentiary sentence was the result of political frame up"

HOPE TO IDENTIFY
 ALLEGED F|REbUG
Suspect in WltGbury Case
 Taken Before ACcussr

Waterbury. Feb. [ tP-Louis N. Leopold. held on a coroner's war rant charging him with criminal re- sponsibility for the deaths of the two Moynihan boys in the fatal Baldwin street fire here Sunday morning, was suddenly taken from the city jail here this afternoon at 1 o'clock. He was rushed to New Haven in a police car where he will be brought face to face with Shalnitz in the New Haven hospi- tai. Shalnitz has confessed com plicity in the fire conspiracy and in a confession earlier in the week he involved Leopold. Leopold denies knowing Schalnitz but authorities say Shalnitz admits having met Leopold personally after another piece of Leopold's property at Un- ion City was successfully" burned on May 8. 1926.
 The meeting today will be one of identification.
 What may prove to be the final statement of Shalnitz. will be taken at the New Haven hospital this aft- ernoon by Coroner John T. Mon- zani of Waterbury and Coroner Eli Mix of this city.
 Shalnitz's condition had become so acute that it was believed best that his complete statement be talk en in event of his death.
 Shalnitz, who has told his wife that he received his burns and in- juries when the machine which which he was riding caught fire aId the gas tank exploded said in par tial confession to Conorer Monzani earlier in the week:
 Something went wrong. There was a terrible explosion and I was thrown into the street and dazed. Shalnitz's alleged partial confes- sion was obtained by Detective Ser geant Henry l.. Johnson of the Wa terbury police department. Referring to the failure of the tri-partite naval conference at Gem tN q, MI. d6oCItCu tId | the British government and doubt- less the American government, bit terly regretted the failure of the honest efforts of America and Great Britain, in association with Japan. to carry forward the work of arma- ments limitation begun at Wash ington.
 He did not think, and he believed i no other government thought. that they would be we'll advised to take up that subject again at this moment.
 Sir Austen hoped. however. that the governments which were repre- , scented by Geneva and other govern ments which were interested. but not parties to that conference. might profit from the lessions of that fail, ure when the time came to review the Washington convention, and, as he also hoped, to make a new one. He trusted that they would succeed where last year they failed.

 placing Navy.
 Lincoln, Neb.. Feb. (UP)-A contract has been signed for . foot ball game at West Point between Nebraska university and the U. 6. Military Academy on November 24. 1928, H. D. Gish. acting athletic di- rector for Nebraska, announced to- day.
 The agreement was signed last Friday when Gish was in West Point conferring with army officials.
 Only one game is provided for and there h little likelihood Gish be- lieves. that return game will be played in Nebraska in 1929.
 Gish said the Army posted . sub stantial guarantee for the game. He did not reveal the amount.
 The Army-Nebraska game fills the vacancy on the Army schedule left by cancellation of the Army-Navy game.
 Nebraska is attempting a shift in it's schedule which would bring the Syracuse game here next fall, cut ting down the mileage the Corn- huskers otherwise would have to travel in making two trips to the eastern seaboard. Permission for the Army-Nebraska game was given Nebraska by the Big Six conference. with Kansas uni versity casting the only dissenting vote.
 The Army game holsters up what first appeared to be a mediocre schedule for Nebraska.
