BOOTLEG AUTO
IS CAPTURED
First Car Using War Time
Device Here Is Seized
by Sheriff.
TWO FACE BOOZE TRIAL
Ingenious Equipment and
90 Gallons of Alcohol
in Machine.

The first ru1n-running car with
smoke screen equipment to be cap
tured in Marion county since boot
leggers adopted war time devices
vas held today by Sheriff George
Winkler.
Deputies John Lindsay. Harry
Ship and Fred Tickling captured
the car in West Morris street, near
National road early this morning.
They forced Sam Curry, 1888 Pros
pect street, former policeman, and
Dale Preston, q, Of 1114 Beecher
street, the occupants to the side
of the road.
Curry, who recently was fined III
federal court for a prohibition viola
ton, insisted there was no liquor in
the car Deputies searched and
found ninety gallons of alcohol in
the rear of the new Chevrolet coupe
in q padded compartment. A large
revolver was found on the shelf be-
hind the seat.
The deputies found the smoke
screen equipment when they raised
the hood. A two gallon can was
neatly fastened to the dash. It was
filled with a special oil, which when
heated expands into thick white
smoke clouds. The oil is lead through
a small copper pipe into a special
pump. powered by the auto motor,
and blown into the exhaust pipe.
The motor exhaust provides the head
and forces the smoke out the ex-
haust pipe in the rear. The con-
traption was so neatly installed that
the deputies saw in it the work OF
an expert.
Curry and Preston we're arraigned
before Federal Commissioner John
w. Kern, on charges Of violating the
Jones law. Bond was set at $4,000
for each and the men returned to
county jail.
Deputy sheriffs have been on the
lookout for smoke screen cars ever
since the murder of Dago Frank

Royalton, north of the city. last fall.
Urban Pope. pal of Wilmington,
brought the body into the city, and
told a story of having been attacked
by hi-jackers and having escaped
with his own life and the Whiting
ton remains by laying down a smoke
screen with his car and lodging
into a side road.
The smoke attachment is placed
in operation by a simple valve oper-
ated from inside the car.

DAISY SULLIVAN IN
MOVE FOR APPEAL
Girl Forger Prisoners Case
Presented at Bloom

BW Times Sneci1J
BLOOMFIELD, Ind, May IT,
The first move in the appeal OF
Daisy Sullivan, IS, to the Indiana
supreme court was taken today be-
fore Judge Thomas R. Van Bus
kirk in Greene circuit court here.
Russell B. Harrison and H. L..
Ridenour, Indianapolis attorneys for
the girl now held in Indiana Won =
ans prison here, filed notice OF
appeal and a motion that Greene
county pay for a transcript of evil
dence upon which the appeal to
supreme court will be based.
The girl was sentenced to two to
fourteen years for forgery by Van
Buskirk. Her counsel contends she
was not represented by friend or
attorney in an informal session be-
fore the judge when she vas SEN
fenced.
The motion for the transcript al
leges the girl and her father are
without funds. The transcript will
be expensive because the hearing in
which Van BuSkirk denied Daisy'S
petition for a writ of error, coram
nobis, lasted a week.
The affidavit supporting the petit
ton for the transcript alleges:
This af1ant further states that
after her conviction and incarcera-
ton in the Indiana Woman's prison,
Attorneys Russell B. Harrison and
L. H. Ridenour appeared for her and
filed a petition for a writ of error,
coram nobis. That the oral argu-
ment on said writ was set for Mon
day, April %, and said attorneys
appeared for the defendant to argue
said writ, and to this defendants
surprise, a new hearing of the cause
came on and much new testimony
was introduced and taken down by
tn reporter of Green circuit court.
THAT said trial and hearing took
place while this afflant was absent
and confined in the Indiana Wom-
ans prison in Indianapolis, in
violation of her rights as set forth
in Section SO of the constitution Of
the state of Indiana"
1t is understood the attorneys
have uncovered some startling new
evidence of methods used by the
prosecutors Office in Greene county
in building the record against the
girl.
