YERSQUESTION
JURISDICTION PLEA
Deny Right of Defendant to
Waive Trial Where Crime
Was Committed.

The recent decision of the District
Court Of Appeals, holding that person
may waive the right to be tried in the
place where crime was committed by
entering plea of not guilty and stand
ing trial was challenged today in a
motion for rehearing filed by Herman
o Hagner and his wife, Julia c. Hag-
ner, Scranton, Pa, who are under SEN
tence Of five years in the penitentiary
in a mail fraud case.
Attorneys Lucian H. Van Doren, Will
liam E. Leshy and william II. Hughes.
jr, called the courts attention to the
failure Of the opinion of Justice D.
Lawrence Groner to take into account
the specific Limitation of the territorial
Jurisdiction of the District Supreme
Court, as set out in section ~ OF the
District Code That section limits juris-
dlction TO crimes committed i'm this
district, and in the opinion the Appel
late Court twice said the indictment
here failed to charge the commission
OF crime in this Jurisdiction.
Deny Authorities Needed.
The lawyers suggest that no author
tiles ale needed to show that a de-
fendant in a criminal case cannot
waive jurisdiction in the sense of add
ing territory TO the Jurisdiction of a
Federal court beyond the confines pro-
vided by statute
II VIII come as a considerable sur
prise say counsel, Ito practitioners
before the District Supreme Court end
possibly to that court itself to hear
that 1t has jurisdiction to try defend
ants upon indictments alleging offenses
committed in States such as Montana
Wisconsin, Maine or New Mexico pro-
waco the defendant valves his right
20 be tired in the place where the
indictment alleges the offense was com
mltted. 1t is suggested that, strictly
speaking, the defendant had no right
TO be tried in Pennsylvania In the
present case and certainly was under
no duty to assert 1t.
Review is Forsseen.
Can 1t be supposed that he must
himself declare that the crime was COM
United in Pennsylvania II so. he must
NloIate the constitutional prohibition
against compulsory self discrimination
And, II not-and he need only point to
the indictments there any better wey
OF so doing than simply by pleading
not guilty as in the present case?"
Inc opinion has not met with favor
by local criminal lawyers and should
the rehearlng be denied II is expected
an application will be made To The
United States Supreme Court for a re-
view.

TRAGIC ROBBERY
CASE NEAR END
Last of Defendants in
Murder to Be Tried.
By Times Special

NOBLESVILLE, Ind, June 81. -
With the return of Gerald Haygood
to indianapolis to answer a charge
Of conspiracy, the last chapter has
been written in the Owen Crick-
more murder case so far as Hanlil-
ton county is concerned.
Floyd Strange and Robert Inger-
sol are serving life sentences for the
murder Of Crickmore and Charles
McCammon a term in the Indiana
Reformatory for participating in
robbery in connection with the slay-
ing.
Haygood was originally charged
with murder in the first degree as
were the other defendants. This
charge was dismissed. Recently he
was tried on the charge of inflict-
ing a physical injury growing out
OF the robbery. The court instructed
jury to return a verdict for the
defendant because of lack of
direct proof, there being evidence to
show that Haygood protested
against the robbery and left the
automobile when his partners COM
mitted the crime. There was also
evidence that Haygood suggested the
filing station on the Indianapolis
Noblesville road where Crickrnore
was employed was good place for
a holdup. Now Marion county au-
thorities will attempt to prove that
he conspired to commit the robbery.
When Chrickmore attempted to
protect the money in the cash reg
lister, he was shot and died a few
days later.

Teacher Tenure
Lazo, ASSaiIed i'm
Board Demurrer
BIZ Times Special

By Times Special
ANDERSON, Ind, June 27.-The
latest move in the suit of three dis
missed married women teachers who
are seeking reinstatements to their
positions at Elwood is a demurrer by
Ralph DAILY, attorney for the Ell
wood school board, attacking con-
stitutionality of the teacher tenure
law.
The case is in charge of Alonzo
Bales, of Winchester, as special
judge.
Recently the school board attor-
ney filed a plea in abatement chal-
longing the jurisdiction of the court
to review the action of the board.
Judge Bales sustained that conten-
ton of Oswald Ryan, attorney for
the teachers, that the teachers had
right to be in court because mar
riage was not a legal cause for dis
misSal under the tenure law.
The suit has attracted statewide
interest.
Demurring to the complaint,
Judge DAILY said:
That Chapter 81 of the Acts of
the Legislature Of 1927, called the
teachers tenure law, is unconstitu-
tional; that said act was clearly
class legislation, in that it places
teachers of the same teaching ex-
perience in different classes and
narrowS the classification down to a
point where it picks out COM
paratively small group of members
Of the teaching profession and
grants them certain protection and
safeguards which other members of
the profession Of the same expert
ence and ability and years of teach
ing service are denied under the
provisions of the act"

Judgment.

FIT. WAYNE, Ind, June 27.-De-
mands for a total of Sac, 900 dam
ages and injunctionS are contained
in two suits filed in Allen superior
court here against the Northern In
diana Public Service Company.
Damage to property is alleged in
both suits, operation of the compa-
ny's coke and gas plant being
blamed. Bills for injunctions ask
that the company be restrained
from operating until changes are
made in its plant.
In one of the actions David
S. and Leila r. Vesey asks SIS 1000
damages. They allege that their
health and that Of their children
was impaired to such an extent
they were forced to move from a
house near the company's plant.
William J.. and Margaret S. Vesey
asks $4,000 in the other action.
They allege value Of property they
owned near the gas plant was re-
duced from $4,000 to $25, 900, as a
result of damage to paint and plant
foliage due to smoke and dirt.
In a similar suit, which went to
trial, damages of $82,57 were
awarded against the company.
Vesey'S Greenhouses was the
plaintiff in that case. The Gem
pany was granted an appeal to the
Indiana Appellate court, but has not
yet perfected the appeal.
