FLAYS CARE OF
COURT RECORDS
NibIack ASSaiIs Failure to
Preserve Papers.

In a letter today to Municipal
Judge Clifton r. Cameron, John L.
Niblack, an attorney, declares rec
ords Of the municipal courts and the
old police court which preceded
them are in "a deplorable condi-
ton"
NibIack recalls that Cameron
made an effort about one year ago
to preserve the records, and offers
his aid to the court in the matter
with the suggestion that the Indi-
annapolis Bar Association take &C
ton.
The attorney says he had occasion
to use records of a case filed in 1925
and in the ensuing search found
some court records on the third
floor Of the police station piled with
mops and broonns in a small room.
Others were found in a sub-base-
ment room at city hall, back of a
boiler. He says a state board Of ac-
counts attache informed him that
janitor burned a box of old afi-
davits, assuming they were rubbish.
There is no system or order by
which any one could find a case
in those records" Niblack asserts.

Floyd and Earl Heindenrich were
taken before Fac w. Patrick, United

Judge, I met Earl downtown and

Floyd pleaded, adding he knew

Heidenrich corroborated his story,

Patrick dismissed charges against
Floyd and held Heidenrich to the

WALKER DENIES
He WILL RESIGN
JOB UNDER FIRE
Eight Witnesses Contradict
N. Y. Mayors Story of
Official Conduct.

By United Press
NEW YORK, May 2e-New testi-
mony intended to prove that Mayor
James J. Walkers l1emory is defec-
tive, or that he lied about financial
transactions in which he had been
named by other witnesses, will be
offered Tuesday before New York's
city-wide investigation committee.
Eight witnesses already have con-
tradicted the song-writing mayors
story Of his social conduct. OF his
franchise negotiations. Of stock and
bond deals, Of his relations with a
missing accountant, Russell T. Sher-
wood, Of Sherwood's accounts show
ing deposits Of nearly million
dollars.
One Of these witnesses testified
Friday after the mayor had con-
cluded his testimony. Testimony of
seven others who preceded Walker
had been denied, contradicted in
part by the mayor himself.
Mayor Denies He VIII Quiet
And as the Hofstadter investiga-
ton committee, conducting the
hearings, adjourned until Tuesday,
the mayor denied at city hall that
he intended to resign, or that he
intended to ask Walter r. Herrick,
park commissioner, to resign.
Herrick told the committee Fri
day that he bought $50 shares Of
Interstate Trust Company stock,
which he thought he was buying for
the mayor.
The money, he said, came from
city hall. from either the mayor or
Edward Stanton, his former secre-
tary. Herrick didn't remember
which, and he didn't recall whose
name was signed to checks in
volyed.
Walker had testified that st never
owned any, never saw any, I never
paid for any, and I never profited
by, and I never got any money
out OF any snare OF STOCK.
Walker Voted for Franchise
The significance of the stories
concerning the Interstate Trust
shares lies in the fact that Samuel
Seabury, counsel for the committee,
has shown that the stock eventually
was used as collateral for a loan to
build up a fund held by hackers of
the Equitable Coach Company,
which sought a bus franchise from
the city.
Mayor Walker voted for that
franchise. And the day before he
sailed for Europe in 1927 he shared
in letter of credit bought for mem
bers of his party by an agent Of the
bus company, although it has been
testified that Walker contributed
So 900 as his share Of the credit.
The committees questions con-
corning the stock transaction leave
the inference that it is attempting
to prove that Walker, as well as
close friends Of the mayor, was
among the promoters of the COM
pany seeking the bus franchise.

REJECTION OF
DATA IN WATER
CASE SOUGHT
Ellis Charges Figures Are
Handout' From Com
pany.

Rejection Of the rate data Of pub
lie service commission engineers in
the indianapolis Water Company
case will be asked OF the commits
sioners today on the grounds that
the figures are a mere "handout
from the company"
That a motion win be made TO
bring this about was announced by
Commissioner Howell Ellis, who Fri
day conducted a quiz Of accountants
which disclosed that no original in
vestigation was done by them on
April billings Of the company.
The commission had voted TO Sc
cure consumer data for April, as the
first month in which the new COM
promise rates we're effective.
Job Passed On
Commissioner Harry K. Cuthbert-
son, who wrote the compromise
order, was placed in charge Of the
investigation. He turned 1t over
10 Webb Gilbert, chief commission
accountant, who put Ted Michaels
and Glenn Ray, staff accountants,
on the Job.
The three were questioned by Ellis
under oath and admitted that aside
from a few simple arithmetical de-
auctions made at the statehouse.
the water company furnished all
figures.
H. S. Horse, general manager OF
the Indianapolis Water Company
after learning Of the quiz issued n
statement setting out that company
books and billings are open to COM
mission accountants and the COM
pany officials merely tried to aid
and not mislead the commission
inquiry.
Cuthbertson viewed the Ellis in
QUESTION as an affront to him and
recalled Gilbert for ross-examina-
ton before the entire commission
Friday afternoon.
Before doing this he held a con-
ference with Governor Harry q.
Leslie, but refused to divulge the
nature Of il as dbl the chief execu-
/ tive.
Orders Complete Audit
Cuthbertson said Gilbert's testi-
mony varied some from that before
Ellis. He also announced that he
had ordered complete audit and
appraisal of the water company
properties.
This was asked by new company
petition for rate increase, growing
out of an injunction suit restraining
them from collecting increased
compromise rates on the Monaghan
apartments.
Thee ompany also asked an in
terlocutory order to restore pre-
compromise rates during the audit
and appraisal. 1t was originally
announced that hearing would be
held on this, but no date has been
set, Cuthbertson explained.
A fight looms when the rate data
rejection motion is considered.

IS. We call attention to the COM
prehensive economic rehabilitation
program inaugurated by President
Hoover and authorized by congress,
to deal constructively with the finan-
cial crisis which now confronts the
nation; to the fact that neither the
Democratic party nor its leaders have
prepared any specific plan of action
different from that sponsored by the
president. but on the contrary, have,
in substance, endorsed his program;
and, that, therefore, the principal is
sue in the national campaign is
whether a Republican or Democratic
executive shall carry out the relief
measures already inaugurated by the
present administration. In these cir
cumstances, we urge the supreme
wisdom of continuing in force the
present administration, and not trust
ing to new and uncertain leadership
the great responsibility OF carrying to
conclusion the fight against depres-
sion so successfully initiated by Pres
ident Hoover"
