REPORTS CONFLICT
ON PRISON MURDER

Governor Harry G. Leslie today
was confronted with conflicting
statements regarding the cause of
the recent murder of a prisoner at
the Indiana state prison, Michigan
City.
When he read a report submitted
by John A. Brown, secretary of the
state board of charities, he learned
that overcrowding at the prison and
the inability to separate mental de-
fectiveS caused the murder.
However, the day after it oc-
CURED Chairman John L. Norman
of the prison trustees came to the
statehouse with the explanation
that overcrowding was not the
cause.
Leslie. thus far, has offered no
comment.
Previously he has told of the
prison overcrowding and asserted
it is a constant menace to officials
there.

GreencaStle, was the man killed.

Remained at Cathedral
Altar During Heavy Bonn
bardment of Rheims.

BIZ United Press
RHEIMS, France, May 28.-Louis,
Cardinal Lucon, 81, the cardinal
hero of Rheims, died here today.
The cardinal had been sinking
since Sunday, and his death was
not unexpected.
Cardinal Lucon was born at
Maulevrier, diocese of angerS, on
Oct. %, 1912, and was created a
cardinal priest on Dec. 16, 1907, at
the same consistory at which Card
inal Gasparri, former papal secre-
tary of state was elevated. He
ranked fifth in precedence among
the cardinal priests.
The cardinal won nation wide adj
miration during the World war
when, despite a heavy bombardment
at Rheims cathedral, he stayed be-
side the cathedral altar even when
the leaden roof collapsed, carrying
with it the heavy pillars.
After the war, Cardinal Lucon
headed a move to reconstruct the
ruined cathedral, one of the most
beautiful in France. Many Ameri-
cans contributed.
The cardinal became archbishop
of Rheims in 1906, and was the dean
of the French cardinals.

Tom, As, a fellow prisoner, from
South Bend. The murder occurred
May 20, following an argument over
which of the two best could count
sheep, it was said.
Brown and Judge w. H. Eichhorn,
member of the charities board from
Button, investigated.
Their report was submitted to
Leslie Monday. He made its content
known, without comment, Tuesday
night.
It set out that Tom previously
had been confined in the insane
hospital at the prison, but was
turned loose among the regular
prisoners to make room il the
crininally insane department for
prisoners more demented.
Norman had said Tom was not
an inmate of the insane hospital,
but had worked around there"
The charities board report points
out that the normal capacity of the
prison is $500 and the hospital 232,
but there are 2.057 prisoners in the
prison and 235 in the hospital,
making segregation impossible.

New Trial Sought in Suit to
Ban Building at 46th
and Boulevard Place.

Continuation of the fight to pre-
serve the northwest corner of Forty
sixth street and Boulevard place
against the invasion of business
property, was ordered today by the
city plan commission.
Albert Stump, plan attorney, was
instructed to file motion for a new
trial and to appeal the case against
the Ostrom Realty Company, if Cir
cult Judge Harry o. Chamberlin
denies the right of a new trial.
A permit to build a business
structure was granted during the
Duvall administration although the
corner was zoned for residential use
only. The OStrom Realty Company
started excavation on the basement
when suit was filed to restrain the
city from interference with progress
Of the building.
Stump contends the permit was
invalid because the location was
zoned for residential usage, although
the plan commission had recon-
mended rezoning to permit the
structure. III We lose CnaC case
Forty-Sixth street will be ruined"
commented George O'Conner, plan
body president.
1--WE might as well throw up the
sponge as such practice is against
the entire theory of city planning"
declared j. H. Anterior, plan mem
Der.
The plan commission may have a
change of heart" on the question of
approving the contract between Carl
H. Bauer and the works board for
erection of 200 benches on city
property at suburban business cor
nerS.
The commission unanimously re-
fused to approve the contract at
last meeting, but Bauer obtained 4-3
approval by appearing and explain
ing his plan for placing advertising
posters on the benches. Decision
will be deferred two weeks because
a 5-3 vote is required to pass a
measure under the plan rules.

names of witnesses called before the
Marion county grand jury were be-
ing kept secret as the probe into
alleged election fraud continued to-

ments against poll officials is
whispered in reports coming from
the jury room, as result of evidence
obtained in the three weeks the
probe has been underway.
-Four poll officials have been ar
rested in connection with ballot
tampering discovered on election
day. They probably will be called
before the jury within the next two
weeks. it is indicated.
