FMBEZZLER CALM

Former Newcastle Water
Clerk Begins 2 to a.
Year Term.

BIZ nitcd Press
NEWCASTLE, Ind, Oct. 31-Os-
car Grant, who as clerk of the city
water department here embezzled
$l3,821, entered the state prison to
begin a two to fourteen-year SEN
tence, without any display of emo
ton, according to Sheriff Cannon
of Henry county, who removed him
to the institution.
Prior to the sentence, Grant had
several emotional outbreaks, but the
sheriff said he was calm and ap-
peared utterly indifferent as the
prison doors closed on him.
Authorities here believe Grant
had no accomplices in the embezzle-
ment. They say he never even hint
ed that any one but himself was to
blame. A representative of the
Aetna Casualty and Surety Com
pany. which signed Grants bond for
performance of his duties as clerk,
said he questioned him and Grant
maintained he was innocent.
The representative indicated the
company would make no effort to
avoid paying the city $4,000 as a
forfeiture of the bond.

LIQUOR VIEWS
STRESSED IN
MURDER CASE
Nick SudoviCh Defense
Seeks Jury Without
Dry Prejudice.
ONE QUERY OVERRULED
State Wins Point When
Court Stops Reference
to Convict Witness.
BIZ Tim es Special

BIZ Times Special
VALPARAISO, Ind, Oct. 81
Counsel for Nick Sudovich, reputed
Indiana lieutenant of AL CapOne,
Chicago gangster, revealed In ques-
tioning Of prospective jurors in Por-
ter circuit court here, where he is
being tried on first degree murder
charge, that men with pronounced
views in opposition to liquor deal
ing are not wanted on the panel
1t is alleged Sudovich, whose
headquarters were in East Chicago,
killed Ukron Marovich, rival in liq-
uor dealing, on Easter Sunday, 1928,
supposedly the result of ill-feeling
developed by keen competition in
the business.
Each man is asked by Sudovich's
attorneys if he would be prejudiced
against the accused if it develops
during the trial that he was engaged
in handling liquor or had been ar
rested for dry law violation.
The state won a round when Judge
Grant Crumpacker sustained its OBJ
lection to the following question
propounded to veniremen by de-
Tense counsel
IF it developed that a convict
would testify in the case, would you
give his evidence the same weight
as you would the evidence of another
witness who was not convict if he
testified to the same facts?"
This question referred to Al Arm
strong, serving a life term in the
Indiana state prison, on conviction
of being a party to the Staying of
Marovich, and who will be state
witness at the trial.
During the Lake county investi-
cation by the federal grand jury at
South Bend, Armstrong made a
statement to District Attorney Oliver
M. LOOMS and Oliver Starr, Lake
county prosecutor, on which the in
dictment of Sudovich was based.
Sudovich is represented by a high
priced battery of lawyers, headed by
William J. McAleer, who was chief
prosecutor in the famous Harry
Diamond murder case a few years
ago.

ALLIANCE CHARGED
Democratic Speaker Tells
of Collins Power.

Charges that Alfred M. Gloss
brenner, Republican nominee for
mayor, and George v. Coffin, city
chairman, understand each other
perfectly" were made at noon today
at a meeting at the Indiana Demo-
cratic Club by James Deery, former
city judge.
When Coffin became a candidate
for sheriff in 1914, Glossbrenner was
one of his sponsors, and he has
sponsored every political battle of
Coffin in the last fifteen years. "
Deery said.
THE Republican nominee was
drafted, not by the so-called bust
ness mems committee, but by Coffin,
and has consented to run for mayor,
not for the purpose of serving the
city, but for the saving, as well as
the serving; of Cofin."

TORONTO, Oct. 31.-The Ontario
electorate, reiterating its faith in the
administration of Premier G.. How
ard Ferguson and the government
liquor control act. returned the Con-
servative party 70 power by an over
whelming majority in the eighteenth
general legislative election.
With but few rulings to be heard
from, complete returns from 106 CT
the 112 constituencies today assured
the Conservative at least eighty
nine seats. an increase of twelve
over the seats held in the last par
lament.
The Liberals. led by M. E. N. Sin
clair and considered the strongest
opposition. carried off nine seats
with the prospect of gaining one or
two more when returns from rural
districts are computed. The Liber-
ais held twenty-one seats in the
previous legislature.
other organizations assured Of
representation were ProgresSlveS,
three; Independent Progressives,
two. and United Farmers, one.
The number of seats gained by
the Conservatives exceeded by far
the expectation of its leader. Pre-
mier Ferguson, and party leaders
In a prediction forecast organiza-
ton leaders claimed but eighty
seats.
Ferguson, sponsor of the liquor
control act in 1926. after Ontario
had passed through ten years OF
prohibition, during his campaign
pleaded that the electorate stand
behind him and the liquor law in
that Education, and not legisla-
ton. is the only road to temper
ance."
The Liberals, advocating a plebis-
cite on the liquor issue, and the
Progressives. with a bone-dry plat
form, suffered an enormous blow
when returns from rural districts,
usually dry, showed that sentiment
had turned to Ferguson.
With such a smashing victory for
government controlled liquor sales,
it was freely predicted today by OBJ
servers that prohibition will not be
advocated seriously in Ontario for at
least a decade.
