4. & P. WILL
BAN Stores
SALEOF MALT
Order to Affect 1900
Stores Throughout
United States.
HOME BREWING BLOW
City Clerks Are Advising
Customers of Stop
on Supply.

Sale of malt will be banned by the
Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company
in it's nation wide chain of $1,000
stores, The Times learned today.
Supposition that some Of it's Gus
toners may be using malt in viola
ton of the prohibition law has re-
suited in this policy, described in
dispatches from New York as the
present intention" of the chain
grocery firm.
First inkling of the latest blow
to the home brewer was given in
indianapolis when A. & P. clerks
advised their customers of rumors
thai familiar malt cans soon were
to disappear from the A. & P.
shelves.
Information to local Offices at 209
West South street brought only the
information that statement could
come only from j. A. Hartford,
president of the company, in New
York City.
In response to telegraphic in
quiries, New York dispatch to The
Times verified the ban. Hartford
could not be reached at his offices,
but "Mr. Wheeler" who declined to
give his official status at New York
A. & P. headquarters admitted that
the plans to stop the sale of malt
are under consideration. A definite
announcement may be made within
fortnight, he said.
The A. & F. ban on the sale of
malt will be the most significant
retreat in the merchandising of
home brew supplies since caps, cap
pers and beer-making utensils were
swept off the counter of Kresge
stores, from coast to coast. S. E.
Kresge, their owner, accompanied
the move with a large contribution
to the Anti-Saloon League.

COPS SEEK 'TRUDY'
Swimmer Ignores Summons
for Speeding.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, March 2O.-Ger-
trude Ederle today ignored a speed
ing summons once too often and a
bench warrant was issued for her
arrest.
The English channel swimmer was
to have appeared in traffic court
today to answer a summons for
speeding on Riverside drive last
February. She had ignored the
summons often before, and did so
today.
Magistrate Abraham Rosenbluth
tired of delays, turned to Policeman
Frank O'Brien, who had issued the
summons, handed him the warrant
and told him to arrest Miss Ederle
ION sight"
1t was Miss Ederle's second clash
with the law. She pleaded guilty
in Long Island City June 16, 1927,
to having speeded at thirty-five
miles an hour, but received a sus-
pended sentence.

Truck
DriUer Flee
State Farm
Victim Knocked SenseIeSS
by Blows of Trio; Think
Club Used.

BIZ United Press
PUTNAMVILLE, Ind, March 20.
Three prisoners knocked an In
diana state farm truck driver sense
less, stole his truck and escaped into
the hills seven miles south of here
Tuesday night.
Oflcials believed they had several
clews which might lead to recapture
of the escaped men today.
The fugitives are: George Smith,
sentenced from Lake county for
drawing deadly weapons; Ray Col
lins, Madison county, sentenced for
false pretense and Halo Stage, Mon
roe county, doing time for petit
larceny.
The men had been working in the
willow factory. A truck driver,
whose name was withheld by farm
officials, stopped near the factory
building. The trio slipped up to
him, overpowered him and knocked
him senseless with blows to the
head. 1t was thought they used
their fists or wooden club.
The men leaped into the truck
and sped through the farm gates
onto the National road before guards
discovered what had happened.
Squads of guards in motor cars
started in pursuit, but had no tangi-
BILE clews until the truck was found
abandoned on a road seven miles
south of the farm. Guards believe
the prisoners picked up rides from
motorists and continued on south
into the hilly country which would
afford them many opportunities to
hide out by day and travel by night.
The fugitives were clad in regula-
ton blue denim suits, duck coats and
corduroy caps.

DONALD IS
CONVICTED IN
HAAG KILLING
Life Prison Term Penalty
is Fixed by Murder
Jury,
VERDICT IN TWO HOURS
Shows but Little Emotion;
Sentenced Deferred
Until Monday.
VERDICT IN TWO HOURS

Rupert Mcdonald shall spend the
rest OF his life in Indiana State
Prison for the murder of Wilkinson
Haag, Haag Drug Company official.
This was the verdict returned in
criminal court today against the 81
year-old Chicago youth who wes
only 18 when Haag was shot in a
holdup attempt at the Green Mill
barbecue on May II, 1926.
The jury reached its verdict after
two hours deliberation Tuesday
night.
Sentence Is Deferred
Epl1 Inman, defense attorney, in
formed Judge James A. Collins that
a motion for a new trial prelimi-
nary to an appeal, probably will be
filed.
Sentencing was deferred until
Monday.
Mcdonald kept his head bowed
as Frank Trick, 4818 Central avenue,
jury foreman, presented the verdict
to the court and clerk William
Kaiser read it.
He seemed comparatively un-
moved. His mother rushed to him
and threw her arms about him. He
kissed her and the mother, son, ; Id
two daughters gathered in a group.
Then Mcdonald was led back to
county Jail by Deputy Roland
Snider.
Ghere Awaits Trial
His brother, Nelson Chittick, not
in court when the verdict was read,
smiled when he came into the court
room and shook hands with Inman.
Mcdonald, Lawrence Ghere and
Arthur McClelland planned the
Faag holdup in an attempt to steal
Haag's $1,1o0 diamond ring, the
state contended. Gf1ere, also wait
ing trial for the murder, is said to
have fired the death shot. McClel-
land is in prison in Illinois.
The first degree murder convic-
ton against Mcdonald was OBJ
tanned under the law which makes
any participant in a holdup which
results in death equally guilty with
the slayer.
Night Session of Court
The Mcdonald case was turned
over to the jury Tuesday at the first
night session in criminal court since
the trial of former Mayor John L..
Duvall. Following five and one-half
hours of arguments by Prosecutor
Judson L. Stark, Inman and Paul
Rhoadarmer, chief deputy prosecu-
tor, the jury filed out to deliberate
at 1924 p. m.
Before 1890 p. m. it was reported
that verdict had been reached and
sealed for presentation to the court
this morning.

PROBERS TO MARK
Time AT SULLIVAN
Prosecutor Indicates No
Special Call for Grand
Jury Is Likely.
BY CHARLES G.. STONE
State Editor. The Times

SULLIVAN, Ind, March 90
Amid the maze of rumors and
theories regarding Sullivan county's
tragic banking situation, there
stand today the following facts:
First, a statement of Prosecutor
Jesse Bedwell that he sees no need
for recalling the grand jury, re-
cessed to April Is, at any earlier
date.
Second, Main street went shopping
on Wall street and found that SIN
clair oil stock was not a bargain.
Third, Edgar D. Maple, vice
president of the Peoples National
Bank and Trust Company, found
shot to death in the west entry here
Jan. IS, last, was suicide.
Fourth, James Lang, 73, who was
president of the now defunct Citi-
zens Trust Company bank and who
has returned here after being a
fugitive more than year, still holds
the confidence of many Sullivan
residents.
Prosecutor Evades Issue
Prosecutor Bedwell, commenting
on three weeks session of the
grand jury, declared, 1--WE got lot
of stuff" but indicated in the same
breath that there was little real evil
dence, remarking, "if we can find
that man who has violated the law
and we can get sufficient evidence,
we will prosecute"
The prosecutor said some evidence
was offered the grand jury that
might form the basis of criminal ac-
ton in a federal court. Naples
bank holds a national charter,
which would bring it within federal
law. Bedwell. however, refused to
become specific in reference to the
evidnce.
Despite the universal declaration
here that Will H. Hays caused the
buying of Sinclair oil stock, practi-
cally no one condemns him. Busi-
ness men here declare that Hays
lost money with other Sullivan
county residents when the stock
price slumped.
Representative men of both Sui
livan and Shelburn show no fesi-
fancy in declaring that Maple took
his own life. They point out that
Maple and Jessup F. Bolinger, presi-
dent of the closed First State Bank
of Shelburn were close friends, and
that Maple discounted notes
brought to his bank from Bolinger's
until the amount became too heavy
a load for the Peoples bank to carry. |
He Chose Suicide
Maple, made desperate the sit
uation, chose death as way out,
is the general explanation.
Lang is being treated as one more /
sinned against than shining. Good |
wishes and cigars are being
showered upon him. He is wait
ing trial on charge of forging
notes for $4,000.
Prosecutor Bedwell has not yet
announced when he intends to ask
a trial in Lang's case. Asked
whether Lang would be called be-
fore the grand jury when it re-
conyenes April Is, Bedwell replied:
"I am not yet ready to say"
With return Of Lang, William Alb
bott, who formerly operated a saw
mill near Hymera, Sullivan county, !
is pressing a claim against Lang's |
bank for 100000. A claim Lang. as
serts is lawless.
Abbott declares that he bought
100000 worth of Liberty bonds from |
Lang shortly before the bank was /
closed, but left them in the insti-
tuition for safe keeping, but they
we're never returned to him.
