BIZ JHitcd Press
PETERSBURG. Ill, Feb. 23.-The
state has introduced woman's
testimony in an attempt to prove
that Martin Virant was the victim
of a torture Staying" by deputy
sheriffs.
The woman, Mrs. Elizabeth Spear
man. Peoria, was a prisoner in the
Tazewell county Jail at Pekin last
September when Virant's body was
found in cell hanging by his own
belt.
Two deputies, G. o. Skinner and
Ernest L. Fleming, are on trial in
circuit court here on charges of
manslaughter.
The state had charged that they
beat Virant, who was held for
questioning in a murder, and when
he died suspended the body to make
1t appear he had committed suicide.
Il saw Elem lg and Skinner take
Virant from his cell and then bring
him back, his shirt bloody" Mrs.
Spearman testified Tuesday. HE
kept complaining of pains in his
side.
He asked the deputies to call a

RECESS FORECAST FOR
STATE LEGISLATURE
Three-Day Respite May Be Ordered,
Saw Administration Heads.

Administration leaders today were
predicting a recess of the Indiana
assembly from the morning OF
March 3 until March 6.
Predictions of final adjourn
ment we're discounted because of
the work connected with the formal
enrolment of bills.
No act can be signed by the pre-
siding officers of the house and
senate except while the two houses
are in open session, but the Gov
ernor may act on bills after the
session adjourns.
If the recess plan is followed, sut11
Cient members of both houses would
be on hand March to move for the
recess, even though most of the
others, along with the Governor
Paul v. McNutt party, had gone to
Washington to attend the inaugu-
ration of President Elect Franklin
d. Roosevelt.
ReSuming open sessions the morn
ing of March 6, would give oppor-
tunity for all acts to be enrolled
and signed during that day, thus
doing away with the necessity for
holding sessions past the legal limit
of siXty-one days, as has been the
habit of most former assemblies.

LINKS POPULATION TO
WELFARE or NATION
Best Level to Be Problem,
Says Educator.

The best population level for the
United States will be one of the
most important questions to con-
front the nation in the next twenty
five years, said DR.. William Fielding
Ogburn of Chicago university, in a
lecture Wednesday night in the All
Souls Unitarian church. The Indi-
ana Birth Control League sponsored
the meeting.
He pointed out that a relatively
small population keeps the standard
of living at high scale while a
large population lowers it.
Business can adjust itself to g
small population because the buy
ing power is large" DR.. Ogburn said
He declared that the influence OF
birth control was to increase mar
riages and to cause marriages al
an earlier age. He said the birth
rate in the nation at the present is
falling and that children who are
being born are appreciated more.
DR.. Ogburn also addressed the
joint session of the Indianapolis
Council of Social Agencies and the
American Association of Socia
Workers in the SEVERN in the af-
ternoon.

or has reason to believe conferees
who will whip the appropriation bill
into shape for final passage will re-
tain the $1,101 500 appropriation for

missing on a figure between that and

the senate that even with his

a "a per cent cut under the amount
