Claims Conspiracy With
Company Doctors.
$4,000 IS DEMANDED
Compensation Case Alleges
Contractor, Insurance
Firm Aided Fraud.

Charge that state industrial board
members conspired with construc-
ton and insurance company doctors
to cheat Cornelius King, an in
jured workman, of "just compenSa-
ton" was made today in damage
and injunction suit filed in superior
court 2.
Defendants named are the Will
liam P. Jungclaus Company, Build
ers and Manufacturers Casualty
Company, Drs Norman E. Jobes and
Murray N. Hadley and industrial
board members.
Board members are Roscoe Kiper,
chairman; Harry j. Mcmillan,
Horace G. Yergin, William A. Faust
and Walter w. Wills. The latter
heard the case which resulted in
the damage suit filing.
Charles A. Rockwell, secretary of
the board, also is named defendant.
Injunction Is Granted
A restraining order to prevent the
board from hearing the King case
was issued by Judge Joseph R.
Williams. The hearing had been
scheduled for this afternoon.
1t also is asked that the compen-
sation order by Wills, entered Dec.
20, 1880, be declared void and that
defendants be required to pay King
5000.
King, employed as a carpenter by
Jungclaus, incurred spinal injuries
in fall from the second story of
lakewood school building to a
concrete main floor Sept. %, 1927,
the complaint sets out.
1t charges that from that time
defendants did "unlawfully and
knowingly unite, combine, conSpire,
confederate, and agree to and with
each other for the object and pur-
pose and with the unlawful inten-
ton of fraudulently depriving the
plaintiff of his lawful rights for
compensation"
Charge Agreement Broken
Allegations in the complaint in
volve alleged failure to abide by an
agreement to pay $3.50 week to
King during period of total dis
ability, not to exceed the 500 weeks
provided by law, or not exceeding
$4,000
Two appeals to the board to show
that he was partially disabled, re-
suited in the damage suit, it is al
legged. The first was dismissed when
King was prepared to produce x
ray photographs supporting his case,
it is charged, and the second was
ruled on by Wills, which ruling it
is sought to set aside.
Wills ordered a $3.50 weekly
award for ITS weeks, beginning
Sept. 80, 1927, with credit to the
company for all former payments,
the suit alleges.

GET AWAY WITH $1,427
Score of Citizens Outside,
Unaware of Raid Until
Shot Is Heard.

BIZ Times Special
AMO, Ind, April 27-Raiding the
Citizens bank of Amo early today
as townspeople looked on, two
youthful bandits terrorized three
employees of the institution, scooped
Sl427 from vault. and escaped.
Two persons narrowly escaped
being shot when one of the bandits
fired into the street as the robbery
was staged.
The town is twenty-five miles
southwest of Indianapolis.
Entering the bank a few mo-
ments after it was opened for the
day by Morris j. Hadley, assistant
cashier, the bandits bound Hadley
and two other employees, ordering
them to lie on the floor as the
vault was looted.
The two other employees were Miss
Elsie Phillips, IS, bookkeeper, anc
Chauncey Phillips, her brother, q
clerk.
Misses by Inches
w. B. levin, vice. president
parked his car in front of the in
stitution just as the bandits en-
tered.
At the same time Miss Cleo Lam
bert, 80, clerk in an Amo depart
ment store, walked into the bank
One bandit fired a shot at her,
missing her by inches, as she turned
and fled.

levin, still in his parked car
did not know of the robbery I'M
til the shot was fired. The bullet
crashed into an iron door frame and
fell to the floor.
More than score of Amo resi-
dents we're standing on the side
walk near the bank during the rob-
berry and were unaware of the raid
until the shot was fired.
After scooping the money into a
bag, the gunner ran into the street
where a small sedan, with the
motor running, was parked.
Two Plainfield men, delivering ice,
heard the shot and drove to the
front of the bank as the bandits
leaped into their car.
Turn Toward indianapolis
The Plainfeld men pursued the
bandit car northward a short dis
lance to the Danville, road, where
the bandits turned east toward
Indianapolis and outdistanced their
pursuers.
Phillips said the raiders came into
the bank about noon Tuesday and
inquired for a person, whom none
of the employees knew. When they
left, Phillips said he noted the Ii
cenSe number of the auto. The
bandits reappeared at the bank in
a different car today, Phillips said.
Hadley just had opened the door
of the large vault when the bandits
entered. His arms were cut severely
by the strings.
levin said the loss is covered by
insurance and that the bank will
be opened Thursday morning.
1t is the first raid on the bank,
levin said, and the fifth within
a few months in this vicinity.
