Pleas Is FroWned On
Fee Snatching for Parole
at Pend!eton.
BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY
Times staff Correspondent

PENDLETON, Ind, April H.
Lawyer lobbists, who for high fees
try to get paroles for prisoners, are
taboo with Indiana state reforma-
tory trustees.
This fact was demonstrated Wig
orously at the quarterly pardon
board meeting Of trustees held in
the Office of Superintendent A. f.
Miles Of the reformatory Friday
night.
While lawyers and politicians
swarm the corridors at similar
meetings of trustees at the Indiana
state prison at Michigan City. only
one lawyer and one politician were
on hand for the trustees meeting
here.
Both were the same mani.
Glenn Harris, Gary, former power
full Republican member of the
house Of representatives, who still
rates high with Governor Harry G..
Leslie.
All Pleas Denied
He was cooling his heels in the
outer corridors until nearly mid
night and then a message was re-
layed to him by Gaylord Morton,
Leslie's secretary, that all pardon
board cases in which he was in
terested had Beg. denied"
One man was about to be paroled,
when Miles told of an incident
whereby he believes the prisoner
passed a, 500 check out to a lawyer
to bring the parole plea before the
board.
"This board is against these 500
lawyer fees" Paul Honan (Dem.,
Lebanon), board member. declared.
"a lawyer can not do a prisoner any
good before this board and shouldn't
be allowed to take the money"
One Member Irate
Glenn w. Harrison (Rep., Attica) f,
member OF the board, was not pres
ent. His term expired March o.
and he is reported to be irate at
Leslie's failure to reappoint him or
name a successor.
Seventy cases were considered by
the trustees, sitting as a pardon
board. Continuances, denials, pa
roles and communications of SEN
tence were granted-all subject to
the Governors approval.
During the afternoon the board
held its monthly parole meeting
for minimum sentence men, 10
bases being considered. Ninety eight
we're paroled. Five parole violators
were reported returned to the in
stitution.

After a two-year term, his Gin

In the legislature he was an in

He wrote no memoirs.

The station was crowded
with saddened friends. There
were tears. Muffled murmurs
passed through the throng as
the casket was transferred.
Most of the crowd was from
the same station in life as the
man who rested in the casket.
Others were roughly dressed
torn sweaters - overalls-
dilapidated hats-side by side
with tailored morning clothes.
Longworth, who began his po-
litical career here-a son of wealth
had made friends in all walks of
life.
The sun was just rising when the

Widow Dressed in Black
Transfer of the casket which re-
posed in the private car of Charles
Clark, Montana copper magnate,
was supervised by Colonel Campbell
Hodges, military aid to President
Hoover, who also was aboard the
train.
Mrs. Longworth was dressed in
black. A heavy veil concealed her
face. She walked with Mrs. Harri-
son, hurrying directly to the wait
ing limousine. Archie and Kermit
Roosevelt followed her.
AS the casket was taken from the
train, a huge blanket of pink roses
was placed over it. The casket bore
the inscription "Longworth, 1881"
Inside the private car hundreds
of floral offerings could be seen.
Many Of them were placed on the
train as it sped northward from
Aiken.
Few Autos In Cortege
Police held back the bare-headed
crowd which pushed forward as the
casket was handed into the hearse.
The doors closed, the hearse moved
away and Mick" Longworth began
the last stage Of his journey home.
Only few autos we're in the
cortege as it wound through the
streets, out through Eden park, once
part of the immense Longyorth
estate, to lockwood.
The crowd dissolved as the last
