RENSSELAER,, Ind, March l.
Efforts of Jasper county authorities

trial on a charge of aiding in the
robbery of the State Bank of Rens-
selaer, Sept. Z last, have brought a
series of developments which may
disclose that the wanted man is the
brains of huge conspiracy in bank

with plot are in custody in Okla

held, pending further investigation
into bond thefts. The men held we're
arrested when they appeared as wit
nesSes for Davidson in his fight to
prevent extradition to Indiana.
Starts Another Fight
Charles A. Halleck, Jasper county
prosecuting attorney, and Sheriff
Harry Rouse have returned here
after spending several days in Okla
homa City, where they succeeded in
winning the extradition fight only
to be blocked when Davidson's
counsel instituted habeas corpus
proceedings.
Halleck and Rouse will be in
Oklahoma City Thursday when the
habeas corpus case will be heard.
They plan to take with them several

Davidson'S claim that he was not
here at the time of the bank rob-
berry. He asserted that on Sept 7 he
was in st. Louis, Mo-, in fighting
eXtradition, and will make the
same claim in the hearing Thursday.
Loot Evidence Found
When taken into custody by Ok
lahoma officers as a fugitive, David

pons from bonds included in loot
from the local bank as we'll as cou-
pons from bonds missing in other

In the extradition case, Prosecutor
Halleck was pitted against Norman

Bond has been denied Davidson
in advance of the present hearing.
In the previous case he was under
$4,000 bond, but he and his attor-
neys did not appear until after
