Hearing in April.
Ru Ti,nca NnecinI

BIZ Times Special
MARION, Ind, March 27.-Mem-
berS of the Grant county board OF
commissioners and Wilbur Miller,
county highway superintendent, are
marking time following service Of
notice on Miller by Sheriff Jacob
G. Campbell of charges on which the
commissioners base a request for his
resignation.
The commissioners charge inefh-
cheney in the construction of high
ways under the direction of Miller
and allege that on at least three
instances he refused to carry out
their orders in connection with the
work on roads and bridges in the
county
Miller received notice OF the
charges without comment, though
it is stated he has retained an at
torney to fight the custer order.
The charges will be the subject
of a hearing at the April meeting
of the commissioners.
Commissioner Frank S. Bradford
declares "AIr. Miller has repeatedly
refused to carry out the boards in
structions," adding that his resig-
nation is sought because of "inef1i-
cheney and not because Of any per-
sonal or political feelings"

SUE CITY ON BILLS
Titles Start Friendly
Action.
Utilities

Two friendly suits were filed
against the city of Indianapolis in
superior court one by utilities to-
day as a last resort in untangling
the web out Of which the utilities
hope to get back bills paid.
The Indianapolis Power and Light
Company is suing for $183,667 and
the indianapolis Water Company
for $208, 126.
The city has failed to pay its
light bill OF $174,561.48 for 1923, the
power company suit alleges.
The suit also alleges the city owes
S5,89313 for steam heat in 1927
plus maintenance charge of
S422.19.
The water company suit alleges
the city owes $208,126.04 for water
for fire protection.
There has been no provision in
the city budget for payment of the
bills, and attorneys of the COM
panies agreed with the city that
payment could be made only
through a suit.

MUNCIE: JUDGE
FAVORABLE TO
GRAND JURORS
UphoIdS indictments on
Which Predecessor
Made Attack.

By 1t1neS SpeCint
MUNCIE, Ind, March 27.-Harry
E. Hoffman, former sheriff of Della
ware county; Ed Quirk, city detec-
tive; Harry Stoneberger, Muncie
lawyer. and six other Muncie men,
will be forced to stand trial in cir
cult court here on grand jury in
dictmentS.
This became certain when Judge
L. A. Guthrie of Delaware circuit
court overruled their demurrerS, in
which the selection of the grand
jurors who returned the indictments
was attacked.
The defendants commended that
the jurors were not selected on the
Monday preceding the opening of
the new term of the circuit court, as
required by law.
This was due to the failure of
Clarence w. Dearth, then judge, to
order the action. Dearth is now a
defense attorney in one of the
cases.
Hoffman is charged with con-
spiracy to violate the election laws;
Quirk with malfeasance in Office and
Stoneberger with conspiracy to COM
nit a felony.
Trial dates will be set within the
next few days, Judge Guthrie an
nounced, he having given the de-
PENDANTS until Monday to complete
issues in the case.

INDIANAPOLIS citizens can see
4 little or no justification for dry
agent shooting a woman in a raid,
with her husband struck down and
little son looking on, even though
the agent may have thought the
woman was reaching for a gun.

upon the raid az Aurora, ILL.,. Tues
day, in which Deputy Sheriff Roy
Smith killed Mrs. Lillian DeKing.
Her 9-year-old son stot the dry

DRASTIC MOVE
DEMANDED IN
GALLON DEATH
Special Grand Jury to Take
Dry Killing From States
Attorney Urged.
B,N United Press

Blf UHttSG Press
AURORA, ILL.,, March 27.-Out OF
the maze of statements about the
"death-for-a-gallon" Staying of Mrs.
Lillian De King by dry raiders,
emerged today two distinct versions
that she was killed by Roy Smith,
deputy sheriff, in self defense and
that she was murdered In fanat-
icaI effort to enforce prohibition in
district where the law is regarded
lightly.
Both versions had their adherents
George Carbary, states attorney,
saying:
II am satisfied Smith shot the
woman in self-defenSe."
Robert A. Milroy, attorney who
was talking over the telephone to
Mrs. De King when she was shot
vowed he would crystalline public
wrath Into move for justice"
Unless immediate action is taken
against the dry raiders, Milroy said
today, he will petition for a special
grand jury and special prosecutor to
take the case out of the hands of
Carbary.
No Warrant for De Kings
known as dripping wet, Aurora
was aroused by the raid and STAY
ing, branding it as "death-for-a-
gallon" killing in contrast to Mich
gan's "life-for-a pint" law. A gal
lon of wine was all the liquor found
in the De King home by the raid
ers.
MiIroy said he had determined
that no warrant was made out on
the name of the De Kings; that it
had not been shown to the De Kings
by the raiders and that De King
never had been convicted to violat-
ing the dry law.
Milroy also said Ole Nelson, dep
uty sheriff, was drinking wine in the
De King home when Smith and his
raiders broke in.
Boy Bl Ines Deputy
Carbary, since he was induced
into Office last December, has been
moving vigorously against dry law
violators. His predecessor had an
nounced publicly that sentiment in
Aurora was against the dry laws and
for that reaSo4 he saw no reason
to enforce them rigidly.
Gerald, 12-year-old son of the De
Kings is at the home of his uncle,
Peter De King, who was in the De
King home when the raiders
stormed it Monday night, killing
Mrs. De King, and clubbing her hus-
band. Joseph, with the butt of a
shotgun.
Gerald, who shot Smith in the
leg when he saw his mother killed,
re-enacted the Staying Tuesday Tor
the coroner's jury of business men,
placing the blame for the Staying
directly on Smith.
The deputy sheriff, in a hospital
as a result OF being wounded, also
made a statement late Tuesday, the
first since the killing.
Husband Dazed by Blow
He said Mrs. De King seized a
gun from her husband and pointed
it at him. He said he fired at her
as he backed away.
Peter De King was emphatic in
saying that Smith shot Mrs. De
King without provocation.
Joseph De King, still dazed by the
blow from Smiths shotgun, was
free, making arrangements for his
wife's funeral. Carbary said he had
not decided what charge to place
against De King, but said he was
liable for resisting an officer.
Nilroy charged that Carbary used
disreputable methods in obtaining
evidence.
