Arguments in the circuit court
suit of John Royse, who seeks to
mandate county commissioners to
pay him for pauper attorney serv-
ices since Jan. l, we're under way

to name him to the place. The suit
is resisted by attorneys for Lloyd
D. Claycombe, who was appointed
by commissioners, They advance
the theory that the position is
under the commissioners jurisdic-
ton.
Royse's pay warrant was refused
by commissioners and County Audi

Terre Haute Deputy Faces
Murder Trial Again.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, June 80
John Van Hook, dismissed in Clay
circuit court Wednesday on a
charge of first degree murder in
the shooting Of Austin Sweet, attor-
ney, was to be given preliminary
hearing today before Judge Sam
Beecher in city court on another
warrant charging the same offense.
Van Hook was dismissed Wednes-
day after Judge Thomas w. Hutch
inson had ruled that he must be
tried on the first degree charge car
ried in the indictment and either
found guilty or acquitted. The de-
cision upset the traditional theory
that a first degree indictment en-
bodied second degree and man
slaughter charges. and was based on
an amendment passed by the 1929
Indiana general assembly.
The Vigo county grand jury has
been called for a special session Fri
day morning to reinvestigate Van
Hooks case and will probably re-
indict the deputy.
