Holmes Petition Upheld by
Circuit Judqe.

Charging that Charles Vernon
Witt and Louis E. Hamilton, alleged
gun slayers of Lafayette A. Jackson,
late Standard grocery chief, are be-
ing held illegally in the state re-
formatory, Ira Holmes, defense
counsel, today demanded their re-
turn to the custody of the Boone
county sheriff at Lebanon.
Holmes, in his petition which
Circuit Judge John w. Hornaday
sustained, stated the defendants
have not been convicted of any
crime which would warrant their
retention in the state institution.
Trial of the men on murder
charges is slated for Oct. 10 before
Hornaday. The court has not yet
ordered their removal.
Holmes said return of the muir
der suspects to either the Boone or
Marion county Jail would be salts
factory to the defense.
The murder suspects we're taken
to the Boone county Jail after they
had been granted a change of venue
from the Marion county criminal
court.
However, Boone county authori-
ties felt, at the time, that Witt and
Hamilton should be placed in the
reformatory to insure protection
against their escape.

SLASH FOUGHT
Prosecutor Sues to Force
Payment to Deputies.

Salary reductions by the county

in form of suit to force the coun-
Gil to pay salaries Of Herbert E.
Wilson's deputy prosecutors.
Prosecutor Wilson filed COM
plant in superior court four Thurs
day afternoon, asking the court to
construe and interpret an act of the
1881 legislature, giving the prose-
cutor sole right to fix salaries of his
deputies.
The complaint contends the pros
ecutor has this right, provided sal
aries of his twelve deputies do not
exceed $4,000 a year Wilson said
his estimate filed with the county
auditor did not exceed this amount.
The, council at its annual budget

CONFER WITH HOOVER
Committee to Help Out in
Local Moves for Help
During Winter.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-Owen
D. Young gathered about him here
today a group of some of the great
est business men in the nation to
initiate the most important function
Of President Hoovers unemployment
organization-the collection of funds
for relief this winter.
Billions of dollars of American
business was represented as Young's
committee on mobilization of relief
resources, one of four key commit
tees, assembled to plan nation
wide campaign for contributions
that will utilize the radio, the pub
lie platform, the pulpit, the press,
the schools, and other avenues of
publicity.
This was the first meeting of any
of the committees.
The tall well-dressed chairman of
the board of General Electric
talked with the heads of other large
corporations, bankers and railroad
presidents in the language with
which they are familiar-money.
Contributions Are Expected
Stable contributions are expect
ed from these men and their
friends, along with their services in
inspiring others to give. No esti-
mate has been made of the amount
needed, nor of how much they ex-
pect to raise.
The purpose of the committee of
nineteen is not actually to collect
money, but to inject pep and vigor
into local agencies all over the
country. Walter S. Clifford, direc-
tor of the Presidents organization,
who sat with the Young committee
today, has emphasized repeatedly
that this is not a national cam
paign, but local campaign spon-
sored on nation wide basis by his
organization.
To Furnish Background
Our aim is to be of wide service
to communities in their task of
meeting the burden placed upon
them by Observation-Disclosures
that burden may be-" Clifford said,
IN addressing the meeting.

disturb these activities, but, on the
contrary, it is designed to be help

Obviously, police said, Porter gave
the false address when applying for
and license plates at
the Statehouse.
Morton picked up the trail of a
speeding Chrysler coupe at White
river boulevard on West Washing
ton street, just as traffic began to
congest with thousands of workers
EN- route to shops and offices.
The officer saw a passenger of the
speeding car break the glass from
the rear of the coupe to thrust out
the muzzle of an automatic shot
gun.
Bullets Start Flying
Speeding sixty-f1ve miles an hour
west on Washington street the
fugitives emptied the gun at Nor
ton.
Then rifle of standard army
caliber, and a pistol went IN ac-
ton from the Chrysler, as n on
held his mount upright on the
rough street with one hand and
fired at the speeding car with the
other.
Once or twice thoughtsmy time
had come" Morton said at head
quarters later. Bullets were FLYING
SO fast around me was sure one
would get me. Once I thought the
motorcycle was shot out from under
me-"
The chase angled south to Lee
and Morris streets, where Kelly Will
loughby, bystander, was pelted on
the foot with several buckshot, none
OF which penetrated the leather Of
his shoe.
Constable Joins in Chase
There, too, r. J. White, a Wayne
township constable, observed tie
battle, and leaping into his auto
joined with Morton in the pursuit.
Morton abandoned his motorcycle
and climbed in the car alongside
White, reloading his revolver, and
trying again to stop the fugitives.
Almost on the fleeing car once, the
officers narrowly escaped collision
with another auto, and lost sew
eral hundred feet to the coupe.
In the $500 block, West Morris
street, the coupe slid to a stop, and
the two occupants darted behind
houses in the neighborhood, Nor
ton and White close behind them.
Gunman Is BIuffed
Morton rounded a house and
found himself looking into a pistol
IN Porters hands. For an instant
both stood still. Then, according
to witnesses in the neighborhood,
Morton said calmly:
GO on, shoot. You haven't got
CUTS enough to pull that trigger"
Porter threw down the pistol and
White, after shooting four times
at him, lost his man, and although
police emergency squads searched
the vicinity, they were unable to
find him.
In the coupe were found III gall
ons Of alcohol, which police believe
was hijacked, perhaps near the
Ohio line, Thursday night or early
today. Porter refused to talk. He

for federal authorities.
Cars Hit by Bullets
Morton said several bullets struck
street cars and probably hit autos
during the chase, but no reports OF
damage were received at police
headquarters.
Morton also said he thought one
bullet hit house and may have
penetrated an upstairs window, but
ne was not certain where that was.

Lewis Johnson commended Nor
