KOKOMO, Ind, March 17.-With
the statement that he will do a
solo probe If he can not get the
assistance of officials, Prosecutor
Homer r. Miller today prepared to
present evidence Monday that will
mean a cleanup of alleged vice
conditions here to the Howard
County grand jury.
In report to the court few
days ago, grand jurors declared
conditions we're worse here than
they have been for thirty-five years.
Members of the city police depart
ment and official boards have indi-
Gated they considered it an attack
on the city administration, but have
promised cooperation.
Gambling and liquor law viola
tionS must be cleaned up in this
city," Miller stated. IT have COM
planned about these matters to the
chief of police, members of the city
county and city attorney. All have
promised their cooperation, but
care little for high-sounding
speeches. What I want is results.
IF indictments are returned
expect to try these cases before
juries Of Howard County citizens
and will ask these juries to impose
the full penalty of the law against
such places as have been knowingly
and Intentionally operating in this
city for months and months and
have been reaping harvest from
the unfortunate.
Mayor S. E. Spurgeon said he be-
lieved the report of the grand jury
was actuated by political motives,
but Miller denied this.
The jury's term closes March "a.
The report on the investigation and
also one on the probe into the
failure Of the American Trust Com
pany, former Klan bank, is expected

Eighteen marks were left on the

Investigate Rumored Sale
of $25 Tickets.

Two squads of police were sent
by Police Chief Claude M. Worley
today to the Butler field house to
break up ticket scalping at the In
diana State high school basketball
tournament. The $4,000 reserved
seats we're sold out days before the
tournament began.
Police we're told that scalpers were
selling tickets SIS to $25 per ticket,
Worley ordered Lieut.. Edward Helm
to arrest any scalpers found.
I'VE are going to stop ticket scalp
ing right now before it gets going
for the finals" Worley said
The State "scalping" law provides
a fine of from $25 to $500.
Tournament officials did not be-
lieve the scalping was on large
scale because the tickets were so
widely distributed through the six
teen cities in the tournament.

COFFIN BRIBE
CHARGE TRIAL
OPENS MAY z
Date Decided at Meeting of
Attorneys With Judge
MCCabe.
CLAIM NEW EVIDENCE
Prosecutors Confident of
Obtaining Conviction,
They Declare.

George v. Coffin, Republican
county chairman. will go on trial
May 2 on the charge Of conspiracy
to bribe on which he was indicted
with Governor Ed Jackson and
Robert I. Marsh.
This was determined at a confer
ence today of State and defense at
torneys in Criminal Court with Spe-
cial Judge Charles M. McCabe OF
Charlottesville.
The State has additional evidence
and new witnesses to prove the con-
Spiracy to bribe former Governor
Warren T. McCray in 1923 and will
insist on trying Coffin in spite of
Governor Jackson's escape from the
charge on a statute of limitations
plea, Prosecutor william H. Remy
and Special Prosecutor EmSley w.
Johnson declared, following the
hearing.
Remy Is Reticent
Following failure of the State to
prove concealment of the alleged
bribe plot in the Jackson case, so
as to make possible a conviction in
spite Of the fact that more than
two years has passed since the al
legged crime, it was believed by many
that charges against Coffin and
Marsh would be dropped.
Remy refused to disclose the ma
ture' of the additional evidence
obtained.
Whether Attorney Robert I.
Marsh, Jackson's former law part
ner, will be brought to trial was not
taken up at the conference. which
was asked by Defense Attorneys
Louis B. Ewbank and Clyde H.
Jones, who to date represent only
Coffin.
The defense attorneys asked an
early trial.
Matter Of Politics
The defense desired the early
trial because Coffin probably will be
candidate for reelection as county
chairman, and the Republican
primary at which precinct commit
Ceemen, VINO name Cne county cnalr-
man are elected is set for May g.,
Jones told the court.
Remy scored the defense for de-
lays to date, declaring the State was
ready to try Jackson before Christ
mas and pointed out that the prose-
cutor's staff has started the bribery
trials of Indianapolis city council
men, the last one of which probably
will be set for April %.
Judge McCabe stated he would
attend an American Law Institute
meeting April 2730 and could not
set the trial until after that date.
The trial then was set for May 8,
but was advanced to May 2 on Ew-
banks request.

of the first period, 13 to 10. Mur-
ray counted eight of Bedford's thir-
teen points in the initial session.

it's lot with Bedford, as the Stone

strength.
The Bedford team began firing
away from many angles and after
ten minutes of play had elapsed in
the second half the score stood %
to 13. Coach Ivey began inserting
substitutes.
Both teams counted in quick
succession and the score went to 30
