BY YELLING IN
COURT REPLY
Newspapers, Grand Jurors
and Business Rivals
Are Attacked.
PUBLIC MIND WARPED
Indictment Is Held Due to
BuiIt-Up Prejudice, by
Defense Counsel.

Taking the offensive against the
charge that he solicited bride,
Coroner Fred w. Yelling attacked
grand jurors, indianapolis newspa-
pers and prosecutors Office attaches
in an abatement plea filed today
in criminal court.
Due to filing of the plea, the
coroners arraignment was delayed,
and arguments on the plea will be
heard by Judge Frank P. Baker at
1880 p. M, Jan. H. Tentative trial
date was set as Jan. 25.
The court hearing was marked by
verbal skirmish between Vehlings
counsel and the court, which ended
when Baker reiterated that he
would send a public official to
prison for violation of the law as
well as any one else"
The plea, filed by Fred w. Bar
rett, attorney, and read in the
courtroom, charges that through the
influence of conspirators and the
press the public mind was warped,
resulting in prejudice against the
coroner and subsequent indictment
of the official.
Hits Jury's Authority
1t was set out that the grand
jury had no authority to investigate
alleged law violations of the Off
cial and charged Miss Beatrice
Goldman, grand jury stenographer,
with issuance of subpoena against
Miss Minnie Sartor, clerk in Vehl-
ing's Office.
This writ resulted in the clerk
bringing coroner's records before
the grand jury for investigation.
The plea charged records were OBJ
tanned during Vehling's absence and
he is not required to testify against
himself or submit evidence against
himself to the jury.
Charges that names of witnesses
and information of the grand Jury
proceedings were given daily to
newspapers also are contained in
the plea. 1t was alleged Miss Cob

jury, and newspaper disclosures
against Vehling influenced and re-
acted in the public mind"
Blamed on Prejudice
If this prejudice had not been
prevalent, an indictment would not
have been returned, the attorneys
told the court.
Vehling was the victim of an
effort of the conspirators to obtain
his resignation and permit or ar
range for appointment of his sue
cessor, it was alleged. Threats of
grand jury action against Vehling,
unless he withdrew as coroner, also
were made, the statement charged.
The "conspirators' were described
as persons of malicious intent and
