Question Over Act Separat-

KENTLAND LOSES OUT
G. A. Williams Quits Bench
in Belief He Lacks
Jurisdiction.

By Times Special
KENTLAND, Ind, Nov. 6.-New-
ton county is without circuit court
through refusal of Judge G.. A. Will
1iams to preside under the aSsump-
ton that bill passed by the 1929
legislature designed to separate the
Jasper and Newton counties circuits
is effective.
The bill separating the courts OF
the two counties is similar to one
recently held valid by the Indiana
Supreme court affecting Delaware
and Grant counties. In both in
stances, Governor Harry G. Leslie
failed to affix his signature.
Committee Seeks Solution
Calling members of the Newton
county bar before him, Judge Will
liams announced he would no
longer handle cases as he was
firmly convinced that the supreme
court ruling made the separation
measure effective and he is with
out jurisdiction in Newton county.
A bar committee composed of M. E,
Graves, H. L. Sammons, DeloS
Dean and Abraham Halleck has
been appointed to study the situa-
ton.
Both Judge Williams and Charles
Halleck, prosecuting attorney, are
residents of Jasper county. It's court
at Rensselaer, is continuing 10
function with Judge Williams pre-
siding.
Two officials Elected
In the election this week both
parties had candidates for judge
and prosecutor, under the assump-
ton that Newton county will have
a court separate from that Of JAS
per county.
When doubt arose as to the status
of the separation bill. Judge Will
liams refused to hear any contested
matters in Newton county. confln-
ing himself to mere formal actions
and now has ceased those, also.
Returns on the judge and prose-
cutor offices we're included in the
election report, and in the ordinary
course the next step would be issu-
ance of commissions to those chosen
In the event he refuses to so act,

What Gid he do to cause authori-

NOTHING much, to hear Rick
L ' enbacker tell it. Only single
handed attack on seven enemy
planes in which he shot down two
of them and scattered the rest.
Only ten minute engagement,
the official records show. but those
ten minutes saw what is now re-
garded as the greatest individual
feat by any aviator in the World
war.
1t was on the morning of Sept.
Is, 1919, SO Rickenbacker has re-
lated in his book, Fighting the
Flying Circus" He started for the
front lines in his Spad, flown over
Verdun and headed east toward
Etair.
He had received his, commission
as captain of the Ninety-fourth
squadron, United States air service,
a few days before. He already had
won his right to be called an ace
by having shot down seven enemy
planes-only five were required for
that. Naturally he was feeling
pretty good and aching for fight.
Suddenly, he picked up a pair
of two-seater planes below him.

ideal position for attack. Luckily,
they hadn't seen him; the seven

THE new captain of the Ninety

nosed his Spad downward. gave her
the gun and went into screaming
dive toward the tail of one of the
FokkerS.
The German pilot saw his COM
ing and tried to duck. But he was
too late; Rickenbacker's fingers al
ready were on both triggers of his
machine-gun and the German was
directly in his line of fire.
a stream of bullets like water
from a garden hose tore through the
German fuselage, killing him in

then crashed to earth.

plunging straight through their for

planes ahead.

attack and were ready to put down
their heads to escape" Rickenback-

along after them, getting the rear
machine into my sights as I drew
nearer to them.
"a glance backward over my
shoulder showed me that the four
remaining Fokkers still were cir

could begin an attack"

at him from below.
"But the victory was not an
easy one. The pilot suddenly
kicked his tail around, giving his

at me.
Il had to postpone shooting until
I had more time for my own aim

ond stolen q covered several city
blocks and during the chase q fusil-
