Governors Action ArouSeS
Hammond Citizens.

+ Because he is small and has a

ana state reformatory trustees rec
commended communication of sentence
for Charles McManion, Chicago

This explanation of the recent &C

today by Gaylord Morton, Gov
ernor's secretary in charge of par
dons and paroles.
II was opposed to communication of
sentence for McManion, but the
trustees recommended it," Morton
declared. Homer York, of the board
of trustees, said it was done solely
because the youth looked so inno-
cent he didn't seem to deserve to
face twenty-f1ve-year sentence"
Upon recommendation of the
trustees, the Governor changed the
sentence to from two to twenty
five years" which will make Nc
Manion subject to parole as hav-
ing served his minimum time next
January.
Hammond citizens are aroused
over the Governors action. Nc
Manion was given a fiat twenty-five
year sentence after having con-
fessed to seven holdups, they de-

ticipated in holdup at Schneider,

killed and a railroad detective
wounded.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-Profes-
sor Douglas Clyde Macintosh, Yale
theology professor, and Miss Marie
Averill Bland, New York City nurse,
today were denied consideration
by the United States supreme court
of the decision of last spring which
denied them citizenship because of
their conscientious scruples against
war
Professor Macintosh refused to
take the citizenship oath without
making the qualification that he
would bear arms only in event of
what he considered a just war Miss
Bland fatty refused to swear to
bear arms at all, although willing
to assist the nation in any other
way.
Five members of the court held
that this was sufficient to bar from
citizenship.
Four members, headed by Chief
Justice Charles Evans Hughes, who
wrote a violently dissenting opinion,
held that they should be admitted
in spite of their conscientious scru-
pies.

day were:

She told of seeing Mrs. Simmons
at the Riley hospital following the
downtown hotel luncheon for the
cheer guild fthe institution.
Mrs. Simmons was nervous and
pale" she said. She seemed to
be affected, as We all were, by the
cripple children coming in at the
hospital"
Mrs. Todd said she did not see
Mrs.t Simmons at the luncheon.
DR.. Rollo N. Harger, Psychologist
at the Indiana university school of
medicine, was to take the stand this
afternoon to tell that in examining
the organs of Virginia and Alice
Jean after their deaths he found
large quantities of bichloride of
mercury in addition to the Strych-
nine.
This testimony is to be used by
the state to clinch its allegations
made earlier in the trial, that Mrs.
Simmons had attempted to poison
her children two weeks before the
fatal picnic at Memorial park.
Relatives on Stand
Other witnesses this morning were
John Simmons and his son George,
who denied poison had been in the
Simmons house.
The husband also denied that his
wife had been in the South Merid-

Although he is mentioned con-

All this has added to his reputa-

lessening the partisan tinge of the

Another factor of Importance in
the show is the fact that Lee BAYS.
old Second district chairman, who
came within half vote of being
elected chairman last year, is to be
one of the principal guests.
Leaders of the Peters opposition
have been attempting to keep open
any wounds that may have resulted
from that fray, but if Bays still

concealing this feeling.
1t is probable that Bays will be
asked to introduce McNutt, If he
does, it will be a triumph for sup

present are three congressman
