Labor w. w. Husband requested an
explanation from S. D. Smith, dis
trict director at Chicago, of the per-
mission to give Sudovich a tempo
rary release on a bond of $1,000.
Records at Washington show that
early in June, Smith asked the la
Dor department. offices there for au-
thority to have Sudovich released
for period of not exceeding ten
days, following representation by
the prisoners attorney that his
presence was required to salvage
valuable real estate. That also is
the reason given by Oscar Ahlgren,
Whiting attorney and former state
representative, who obtained the
temporary parole.
Tardy on Bond approval
Just what Sudovich could do to
sell his real estate that could not
have been done by a lawyer and
realty dealer is not explained. -
Files of the labor dern rtment at
Washington show that Sudovich was
at liberty eleven days before even
the small bond of 81 non required
was approved by that department.
Records also reveal that the ap-
pllcation to the secretary of labor
was for a temporary release of but
ten days.
Sudovich was out thirty days.
Official prison records merely
state: Whereas, the warden of the
Indiana state prison recommends
that the said Nick Sudovich be
granted a f1fteen-day parole"
This was sent to Governor Leslie.
who approved it.
Attorney Ahlgren, somewhat bazv
as to the exact nature of the pri-
vate personal business which was
to be transacted by Sudovich, offers
the explanation that Sudovich owns
a small hotel and that it was neces-
sary for him to be at liberty to sign
the necessary legal papers for its
sale.
Gets His Client Out
He does not know whether it was
sold or not 1t evidently was his
job to get Sudovich out and he
did SO.
He visited Warden DAILY and the
Governors office.
BY the same underground chan
nels has gone the whisper through
the prison that Sudovich. upon his
return to his cell, boaSted to his
fellow prisoners and related with
great gusto the details of the
Capone party at Benton Harbor.
He may have lied. He NAV not
have been there. But the prisoners
IN Indiana's "big house" believe he
was there, and they marvel and
wonder what man must do to gain
mercy and attention.
They know him as a model pris-
oner who never breaks a rule. but
also as one of the big shots of the
liquor and racketeering game in
Lake county, when Capone extended
his empire into Indiana and in
dulged in politics, gun play, killings
and Bribery to protect his new do
main.
They do know that Sudovich
either has imagination or a memory
as to the farewell party.
The official records show that this
man convicted, in many courts, was
shown great consideration so he
might transact important private
business"

POLICE ARE ORDERED TO
RETURN BASEBALL POOL
TICKETS SEIZED IN RAID

indianapolis police, including
Chief Mike MorriSSey, we're enraged
this afternoon after Municipal
Judge William H. Scheaffer direct
ed return of baseball pool and lot
terry tickets involved in the case
against John Krause, to the Moeller
Printing Company, lot South Cap
itol avenue.
The order was received by Nor
riSSey after his return from the
safety board meeting at the city hall
this morning.
He expressed his indignation at
the order, but admitted: There is
nothing we can do but follow the
courts order"
The Indianapolis times., 1931-08-18

The tickets were confiscated in a
raid and on July 90 Krause was
fined a total of $1,010 and given
ten days in jail by Sheaffer on
gaming charge conviction. The
case was appealed.
Pleading possession of baseball
pool tickets is not law violation,
Art Deer, operator of a pool room
at 152 West Washinton street, was
given his freedom today by
Sheaffer.
He was arrested Monday after
noon for the second time in two
weeks. Police, who carried a search
warrant, said they found thirty
two books of tickets.
The Indianapolis times., 1931-08-18

And that SudOVlch also was
a courtier at the farewell"
levees held by Capone when
he was preparing to go to
prison.
Other prisoners in the peniten-
tiary marvel at the manner in
which Sudoyich, said to have much
wealth and a strong place in the
Capone affections, obtained his
temporary release from a sentence
for manslaughter, and just why the
temporary parole conceded with the
period of Capone farewells.
big Shot in Booze Circles
Before Sudovich was a murderer,
he was a dealer in booze in Lake
county.
He was the "big shot" Twice
he ran up against law and spent
a few weeks on the state farm.
But he was powerful at election
times, for he was known as the Local
agent in Lake county for Capone.
The Torris agent, according to
reports there, was Uron Marovich
There was war between the gangs.
A brother of Uron Marovich was
Nick Marovich, and records of the
federal prohibition department re-
veal that he furnished federal
agents, including George Winkler,
then deputy administrator, with
much valuable information about
Lake county dives. He also talked
about politics in that county and
especially about the 1926 campaign,
which later was The subject of in
vestigation by the government.
Sent to Leavenworth
Nick Marovich was sent to the
federal penitentiary at Leavenworth
on white slave charge.
Uron, howlever, was marked for
the spot and It was Sudovich who
was indicted for first degree mur-
der in connection with the formers
Staying. Change of venue was taken
to Porter county and Sudovich was
found guilty of manslaughter on
Nov. 2, 1929, and given the ''com-
paratively easy rap" of two to
twenty-one years imprisonment.
When the federal government de-
cided to investigate Lake county
bootleg and political conspiracies,
Sudovich was indicted and broI ht
to the federal court from the state
prison. He was found guilty and
instead Of penitentiary sentence
he was ordered on Sept. 18, 1880, to
be deported.
Despite this record for murder,
law violation, and complete con-
tempt for all law, Sudovich was
granted temporary parole on July
6, 1881, for fifteen days, and the
parole was extended for another
fiften days on further recommended
tion by Warden DAILY.
Explanation Is Demanded
This carried his liberty beyond
the period when Capone called his
liegemen and gunmen to Benton
Harbor, Mich, on July "a, leased
a great hotel and ordered his "gor-
rillas" to oust working girls sor-
ority from the hotel hall wanted by
him for the farewell party.

GAS PETITION
DISMISSEDBY
COMMISSION
Lack of Jurisdiction Given
as Refusal to Act on
Association Plea.
FIRM CALLED PUPPET
City Counsel Declares No
Public Benefit Would
Result From Move.

Public service commissioners voted
unanimously to dismiss the petition
ol the Manufacturers Natural Gas
Association, Inc, because of lack of
jurisdiction.
The company, formed here by
twenty-six manufacturers who had
contracted for gas from the Ken
lucky Natural Gas Company, had
sought to be declared a public
utility and sell gas to industrial
users in Indianapolis and Marion
county.
Commissioner Harry K. Cuth-
bertson, who wrote the dismissal
order, raised the jurisdiction point
at the opening of hearings over
which he presided.
The question of Jurisdiction was
argued before all members of the
commission, except Chairman John
w. McCardle, who is i'll, on Mon
day,
McCardle Joins Farley
Conference on the dismissal order
was held this morning, McCardle
Joining with the others in the con-
clusion reached.
During the argument Monday aft
ernoon, attorneys for the city and
Citizens Gas Company, opposing
the petition, cited the same cases
to show the commissions lack of
jurisdiction, which were cited at
the morning session by Samuel Mil
Ter, petitioners attorney, to sup
port Jurisdiction of the commission.
Cases cited involved entrance of
one utility into the field of another
and limitation of service within
given territory. But each case de-
veloped the point that service must
be extended to all within the terri
tory on like terms.
Miller contended that this paved
the way for class service such as
proposed by the petitioners. The
Manufacturers company would offer
service to industrial users only.
Hits Glass Distinction
Cuthbertson contended at the
outset that to be declared a public
utility, and thus be given the right
of eminent domain, a corporation
must hold out service to all comerS
in the territory served, without class
distinction.
To permit company to enter and
take only the large industrial con-
sumers and not offer any service for
ordinary commercial and industrial
use, would be grossly unfair, attor-
neys opposing the petition pointed
out.
Henry H. Hornbrook, attorney for
the Citizens company, declared that
IL the Manufacturers theory we're
accepted, as many as six companies
might enter the indianapolis field
with various classes of gas service.
Calls Petitioners Puppets
E. H. Knight, indianapolis corpo-
ration counsel, termed the Manu-
facturers company mere puppet"
of the Kentucky Natural Gas Com
pany. which, he said, is trying to
use the local organization to cap
ture the Indianapolis field.
No public benefit, but merely re-
duced production costs for a few
manufacturers would be the result,
he declared.
William Bosom appeared for the
petitioners as chairman of the natu-
raj gas committee of the Indian
apolis Federation of Community
Civic Clubs.
