FAIL TO INDICT
IN MOB KILLING
Jury Holds Sheriff Not to
Blame for LynChingS.

BIZ IHited Press
MARION. Ind, Oct 9.-Sheriff
Jacob Campbell of Grant county
was exonerated completely of blame
in connection with the lynching of
two Negroes on the courthouse lawn
in Marion last Aug. 7, and no in
dictments were voted against any
one in connection with the lynching,
in the final report of the grand
jury to the circuit court today
Herbert Cameron, 16-year-old Ne
gro. was indicted on statutory and
first degree murder charges, in con-
nection with the death of Claude
Deeter and attack upon his girl
companion 1t was this attack
which led to the Iynching of the two
other Negroes held for the attack.
The report generating Sheriff
Campbell read, in part.
The testimony shows that he
conducted himself and directed
others acting with him, in pru-
dent manner and, had he acted diff
ferently, it is more than probable
that race riot would have ensued
and several innocent people would
have been injured or killed.

Lone Arrest Is Climax of
Surprise Swoop as

BB United Press
BOSTON, Oct. 9.-Charges of
Massachusetts, dry leaders that
liquor peddling was widespread in
connection with the twelfth annual
convention of the American Legion
we're followed today by surprise Wis
its by federal prohibition agents to
several Boston hotels.
1t was not an organized cam
paign against bootleggers catering
to the legion trade, federal prohi-
bition officials said, but a tour of
inspection"
One suspected bootlegger was ar
rested.
Reports that several others had
been elected from Hotel Statler,
legion headquarters, we're denied by
prohibition authorities.
Peer Into Guests Rooms
The agents peered into several
rooms at various hotels, but did not
disturb guests.
Approximately forty dry officers,
including Dennis T. Lorden, agent
in charge of the local prohibition
units, participated.
Lorden declined to express an opin-
ion as to liquor condition in Boston
during the Legion convention.
TITS an embarrassing question for
one in my position" he said. "Of
course there has been some drink
ing. We have merely been trying to
enforce the law"
Comment on Revelry
Referring to wild revelry in Bos-
ton streets Tuesday night and to
charges of Mrs. Henry w. Peabody
of rampant liquor drinking and
peddling during the convention. o,
L. Bodenhamer, national command
er, said the present convention has
been "the best conducted" one ever
held.
He charged that hoodluins-under
Legion age-took advantage of the
general hilarity. There had been
some Legion drinking, but the
rowdies were not Legion men, he
said.
The Rev. George Kettell, national
chaplain. admitted there had been
some drinking, but added that
Legion conventions are becoming
more sober each year
Superintendent Arthur j. Davis
of the Massachusetts, Anti-Saloon
League, said liquor conditions in
Boston during the convention were
not ideal, but better than they
would have been in the old saloon
days.
Refuse Repeal Demand
The legion today declined to con-
slider the question of repeal of the
eighteen amendment.
A resolution presented by the de-
partment of New York and call
ing for repeal of the prohibition
amendment was ruled out Of order
by Commander Bodenhamer, who
declared the resolution was. not in
accord with the clause of Che le-
gion's constitution preventing the
body from acting on purely politi-
cal matters.
Ralph T. .O'Neil of Topeka, Kan.
was expected to be elected at to-

GIRL IS NAMED
new LOUISIANA
Chief OF State
"a Year Old Aid Lifted to
His Cabinet by Governor
Huey Long.
BY BARRY J. HOLLOWAY
United Press stan Correspondent

BATON ROUGE, La. Oct. g.
Miss Alice Lee GrOsjean, Governor
Huey P. Longs young and pretty pri-
Vate secretary, presided over the de-
partment of state today as Louisi-
anas first woman to hold that posi-
ton.
Miss Grosjean's elevation to an
office in his cabinet was announced
by the Governor Wednesday, few
hours after the death OF James j.
Bailey, who was serving his fourth
term. Baileys death, following a
weeks illness, of pneumonia, was I'M
expected.
The new secretary is an attractive
brunette, "a years old. She entered
the Governors service when she was
18, and two years later divorced her
husband, James Terrell Of Ell
Dorado, Ark
During the recent senatorial cam
paign, which resulted in Longs
nomination, Terrell threatened to
sue the Governor for alienation OF
Miss Grosjean's affections, but the
suit never was Illeu.
Won't Run for Office
Miss Grosjean, who eight years
ago was graduated from a Shreve-
port high school. said she would
not seek the office when her COM
mission expires in 1882.
Rather. Miss Grosjean said, she
prefers to go to Washington as sec
rotary of Governor Long, United
States senator-elect.
A slight young woman with wavy
chestnut hair, Miss Grosjean tilted
back in her big chair at the Sec
rotary of states Office.
Il didn't ever dream l would be a
state official" she laughed, al
though like every child l had
aspirations to be President OF the
United States"
Politics, however, are not new to
the attractive young woman.
She has been active in four cam
paigns of Governor Long, when he
ran for public service commissioner,
two gubernatorial campaigns, and
his recent successful campaign for
the Democratic nomination to the
United States senate.
Member of Prominent Family
The young Governors meteoric
political career has been a sue
cession of startling incidents. but
probably no act of his caused as
snuch surprise as his appointment
of Miss Grosjean. The Governor said
however, that he was following
precedent.
Several other Governors have
appointed their secretaries to the
office of secretary of state when a
vacancy occurred" Long said.
I feel that Miss Grosjean is COM
spetent to fill the Office" He added
that she had the Endorsement OF
political leaders.
Miss Grosiean is a member OF a
prominent Louisiana family, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. George
,Grosiean of Shreveport.
Long has been a stormy figure In
state politics ever since he first ran
Cor public service commissioner.
His tenure as Governor has been
marked by bitter political feuds and
efforts to have him impeached. Re
gently. however, after his very sub
stantial Endorsement by the voters
Dpposing factions agreed to q
t'truce."
