PROBE ALLEGED
ABDUCTION OF
SON BY WRITER
County Grand Jury Opens
Inquiry on Complaint of
Mrs. Bedford Jones.

Investigation into the alleged kid
naping of son, by H. Bedford
Jones, well-known writer, was start
ed Friday by the Marion county
grand jury on complaint of his for
mer wife who lives in Evansville.
Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson con-
firmed a report that former nurse
of the Jones family, Mrs. Alma
Erickson of Evansville had been
summoned to appear Monday.
The nurse is supposed to have
brought the child to indianapolis
for treatment by a doctor more
than year ago.
Believed Within Rights
Jones is alleged to have taken
the boy to California, after getting
the nurses permission to accom-
pany the child to a picture show.
This eliminated long fight in
Evansville courts between Bed
ford-Jones and his divorced wife
over custody of their three children.
Wilson declared recent informa-
ton from the Evansville judge who
tried the divorce case would indicate
the father was within his rights
in taking the child.
However, unexplained circum-
stances surround the case and will
be investigated" Wilson said.
Gain Nation Wide Attention
Marital difficulties between Bed
ford Jones and his wife during the
three years they battled in Evans
vile courts gained nation wide at
tention.
The youngest son was placed in
custody of the nurse by the divorce
trial judge who ordered that he be
brought to indianapolis for treat
ment.
Since the divorce, Bedford Jones
has remarked and is said to be liv-
ing in California with his three chill
dren.
The two older children are re-
ported to prefer living with the
father.

which even brought criticism from
some people. believing her too
Stoica. to have feelings" has
borne fruit at last.
Her calm, her enforced tran.
quillity, her almost miraculous
tearleSSneSS in the face Of a Wom-
ans bitterest grief, have ensured
a safe entry into the world of
baby who might quite easily have
died long before his time to be
born.
Details, however, were almost
as elusive as they were during
the search for the lost first
child. Colonel Lindbergh, true
to his dislike of publicity, for
hours this morning would neither
confirm nor deny, reawakening
fears in the hearts of millions
that something had gone wrong.
Country Waits News
Surely it would be too much
to believe, if this second hap
piness of their lives were turn
ing into tragedy!
The country waited breath
leSSly as soon as the first mur-
murs of unconfirmed news we're
sounded, but Lindbergh would
not speak.
At the Morrow home, where
the telephone was not left to
ring unanswered as in the flying
colone's house, the answer was
first of all:
"We have no comment to
make"
Then later:
There will be an announce
ment at 9:15."
Surely this looked like good
news?
The queer silence bred strange
rumorS.
Everyone who heard the un-
certain news thought of how
many hearts it must rejoice.
Even outside the family circle
the Lindberghs. the MorroWS,
and their nearest friendS-there
is Betty Cow, home in Scot
land to recover from the shock
she suffered at the loss of her
first beloved charge. How her
heart must leap at the thought
that there another little boy
for her to care for!
Only those who know how,
and why, the murdered baby
died can hear the news without
rejoicing.

TAX LAW To BE
REVISED, SAYS
SEN. SNOOT
Finance Committee Chairman
Has Received Hundreds
of Protests Over Rates

Prediction of a continued
business recovery today was
coupled with prophecy by
Senator Smoot (R.) Of Utah
that the December session Of
Congress will revise the new
tax law to relieve incquities
now resting with crushing
force on certain lines of bust
ness.
Smoot, who is chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee. said
he had received hundreds of let
ters protesting "ruinous" rates on
certain products.
Smoot was joined in his posi-
ton by Representative Baldrige
(RD of Nebraska. Baldridge
particularly attacked the bank
check tax, and demanded a gen
eral manufacturers sales tax.
Both pointed to the section of
the Hoover acceptance speech in
which he said that where taxes
are running particular industries,
there must be early revision by
Congress.
Business Picking Up
Smoot was highly optimistic
about business conditions. He
said:
"The bottom has been reached
and conditions are daily grow
ing better. 1 hope the improve
ment will not be too swift,
because there are always reces-
SiOnS after sudden SpurtS."
Most of the surpluses in many
lines have been used up, Smoot
said, and factories will have to
go to work to supply demand
now, thus creating payroll and
speeding industry generally.
Foreign Trade Holds Own
The British empire trade con-
ference at Ottawa will not deal
American foreign trade blow,
Smoot believes. He declared:
American foreign trade has
held up better than domestic
business during the depression"

objected and was sustained. The
mayor asked:
MAY 1 testify that I never
gave those two payments of
$4,000 to Russell T. Sherwood
for deposit anywhere?"
at appears from the record"
said the governor, that Sher-
wood deposited in the Horn
blower & Weeks trading ac-
count two sums for $4,000
each on June II, 1927. Do you
know anything about that"
81 do not"
The mayor, during the discus,
sion of his banking methods
said at one point:
"L- never kept any books" :.a
Again Walker asserted:
"The whole thing is sup
position that got $4,000 on
June 9 and held it until June II
and then gave it to Sherwood.
It's ridiculous"
Turning to his counsel, Walker
said:
This is vicious"
Governor Roosevelt told walker
it appeared from the evidence
that from time to time sums were
paid by the mayor to his sister
thrO11oh Sherwood
Admission by Walker
Walker admitted this was cor
rect. The money was trans
mitted by check, he said.
"Have you any knowledge of
allegations that these checks
paid by Sherwood to you sister
were drawn on a special ac-
count on the Central Hanover
Bank?"
81 did not know it before this
investigation" Walker replied.
Did you know that your
credit balance on that bank was
not sufficient to pay these
checks unless other money had
been put in by Sherwood"
81 did not"
Turning to Seabury, the gov
ernor asked:
"Is there anything to show
that sums were deposited in the
bank similar to amounts drawn
out for the mayors sister,"
"NO," said Seabury.
The governors legal adviser,
Martin Conboy, asked Walker If
payments were made to his sister
by Sherwood in 1929.
Sister a Widow
"Yes," replied the mayor.
"Since she became a widow,
have been helping her."
Attorney Curtin, stopped by the
governor from repeatedly object
ing to questions, declared:
81 want to show, your excel
lency, that the mayor helped
his sister long before the time
Judge Seabury is talking about.
But Seabury did not offer to
put those deposit slips in evi.
dence. 1t is the way he does
things"
Curtin insisted that whenever
Walker paid money to his sister
he had personally made deposits
in the special account.
There was a long delay while
Curtin and the governor checked
the deposits and Withdrawals in
this account.

CASE To JURY
BY NIGHT
FIier'S War Record Cited in
AcquittaI Plea; Praise Also
For Mrs. Keith-MiIIer

COURTHOUSE, NJ A NJ I
Aug. 16 (I.N.S.) - Capt. Will
liam n. Lancaster s record as a
soldier and the asserted failure
of the State to furnish proof of
guilt was the structure on
which Chief Defense Counsel
James NJ. Carson today based
his plea for the acquittal Of
the British flier, charged with
the murder of Haden Clarke.
The case today neared the jury
after two weeks of sensational
testimony. Carson declared:
"This man was for years a
professional soldier of honorable
record.
Look through his record and
see il you can find the slightest
taint or suspicion of cOwardice.
POINTS AT ISSUE
"It is beyond the farthest
reach of my imagination that q
man Of Captain LancaSter'S
principles and courage could
commit such a deSpicable and
cOwardly crime.
"The prosecution case rests
upon five points:
First, the tremendous, un-
selfish, apparently undying love
Captain Lancaster bore for Mrs.
Keith-MilIer. We don't deny it.
Second. the threats of Tan
Crel and Russell. Assistant
States Attorney Jones yester-
day abandoned that precious
pair and told you to pay no at
tentiOn to their testimony.
Third, the defendant bought
a pistol in st. Louis. We have
not denied it, but we have ex-
planned it.
ADMIT FORGERY
Fourth, forgery, if you call
it that, of the suicide notes.
We have admitted forgery Of
the suicide notes and have un-
dertaken to give Captain Lam
casters explanation.
Fifth, he asked whether
Haden Clark could speak again
after he was shot. Yes, that
Clarke might tell why he shot
himself.
"These five circumstances
might create a suspicion of
guilt but would not prove it be-
yOnd a reasonable doubt"
Captain Lancaster's pale face
was impassive. Mrs. Keith-Miller,
he woman in the weird triangle,
also was in court.
Deploring her morals, Carson
praised the courage of Mrs. Keith
Miller in the highest terms.
"Her GalIantry"
"Her weaknesses, for many
years secret, were brought out
in this court. Her sOrdid story
has gone out to be read, con-
demned, perhaps glOated over,
in far corners of the world.
Only because of her matchless
gallantry has it been made
public"
Mrs. Keith-M Miller. whose depor
alton hearing before immigra-
ion authorities is scheduled for
listened impassively.
Lancaster appeared confident.
Verdicts Possible
Five jury verdicts were possible.
They were:
Asquittal.
Conviction of first degree
murder with no recommenda-
ton to the jury. This carries
a mandatory sentence OF death
in the electric chair.
Conviction of first degree
murder, with recommendation
of clemency. The verdict for
conviction must be unanimous,
but a jury vote of seven to
five for clemency carries a
mandatory sentence of life
Imprisonment, with or without
solitary confinement.
Conviction of second degree
murder, with sentence of from
20 years to life, recommends
ton of the jury not binding
on the judge.

Postal Rates

The Envelope Manufacturers Association. talking things over in convention, thinks postal rates ought to be reduced It is evil dent that the envelope manufacturers think present letter rates restrict their business. And doubtless it is true. People send fewer letters at three cents than two cents. It iS especially true of business institutions They make one letter do the work of two, or they deliver advertising circulars, monthly bills, etc. by their own carriers instead of using the postoffice. A reduction of half cent might bring the postoffice more revenue.
 However. that may be. the air mail rates are certainly too high. It costs eight cents for letter up to one ounce. and B cents for every additional ounce or fraction. mak- ing 2l cents for an ounce and half and 34 cents for two ounces and half. The basic charge itself seems high: and if there is any logical explanation for the excess charge on more than one ounce, it has never been given to the public. Aviation men, who ought to know, say these rates are out of line and there would be far more air mail. and more profit in handling it, if the rates were lowered. It should be good for general business. too.
