Down After Chase of
Many Blocks.

Wounded by police who pursued
him many blocks after they saw he
was driving a stolen car, Charles
Mckinney. %, Martinsville, died
early today in city hospital. A re-
volver bullet penetrated his brain.
Cruising on the south side Tues
day afternoon, radio patrolmen
Walter Coleman and Dale Smith
picked up McKinney's trail in a
car that had been reported stolen
Aug. 8 from Able Wilson, r. r. 2,
Carmel.
Obviously the driver noticed their
interest. He lodged up alleys and
twisted around on side streets try
ing to shake off the police car.
A shotgun blast from the squad
cruiser punctured one tire on the
fleeing car, but still Mckinney did
not stop.
Both policemen fired their revol-
vers. Neither knows which shot
Mckinney.
Near Church and Wilkins streets
the fugitive's auto stopped, and the
driver slumped over the steering
wheel.
For several hours after his death
Mckinney lay unidentified, Then
Jerry Costello, 1916 South Illinois
street, filling station operator, was
taken to the morgue by detectives,
and told them the dead man was
Mckinney.
Mckinney was a parole violator
from the state refor1natory. and
was wanted in Franklin and Put
nam counties for chicken thievery,
police have learned.
Several times during the chase
through south side streets, the po-
lice said, Mckinney veered over
curbs perilously close to groups of
school children on their way home.
Smith shot and killed an auto
thief in June, 1880, in Brightwood
after a sensational chase, his record
shows.

GRAVEL PRICE
WAR BY COUNTY
BOARD RENEWED
Exhorbitant Cost Charge Is
Denied by Snider and
VorhieS.

Friction within the board Of
county commissioners became heated
today as Commissioners George
Snider and Dow Vorhies answered
charges of John z. Shearer, minor
ity board members, that exorbitant
prices are paid for county road
gravel.
Majority commissioners fatty de-
MED Shearer's allegation that they
could buy gravel as low as 20 cents
cubic yard.
1--WE never have had bids that
low" they declared.
Shearer attacked his fellow board
members for contracting with w. G.
Halstead to buy 5000 cubic yards
Of washed gravel at 80 cents a yard.
Explains Contract
Snider explained today that the
Halstead contract relieves the coun-
ty from fulfilling a previous con-
tract, held by Halstead, calling for
delivery Of 10000 cubic yards of
gravel at the 90-cent price.
Courthouse records revealed that
Commissioners John E. Shearer,
Charles Sutton and Snider, who
comprised the board in 1880, signed
contract with j.. Watt McCreery
for the 10000 yards at the 9o-cent
price.
They showed further that Nc
Creepy relinquished this contract to
Charles M. Dawson of the Forty
Second Street bank on Feb. IL, 1881,
to settle all debts. The bank in
turn sold the contract and gravel
plant, located oni the JeSsup farm
in Washington township, to w. c.
Halstead.
Takes Share of Blame
No gravel was used under the
original contract, but it was piled
nthe Jessup farm, the owner of
which received Is cents a yard, ac-
cording to Snider.
1--WE couldn't use 10000 yards of
gravel at this time, so that we
drew up a new contract with Hal
stead" Snider said, also declaring:
IT take my share of the blame for
letting that other contract"
