estimated today as A. B. Good

tax collections for the school city
are $1,0O0,0OO behind last years.
This sharp decrease in collections
Good said, would make the school

may be a slittle as ten days or as
much as twelve, according to Good
Although the school city is not
indebted to its limit, the Indianapo-

ege could be paid.
Many teachers voluntarily have
expressed their willingness to teach
without pay rather than have the
school term shortened.

Is GruUe-RObbery Threat
BLacknaaiI? Court POnders

Does the corpse Of a husband re-
main the property of a widow?
That was the involved point OF
law engaging the Indiana supreme
court today as it listened to oral
arguments in the appeal of Ralph
Meek, Greencastle, who is alleged TO
have eXtorted $500 from a widow on
the threat of despoiling her hus-
bands grave.
We are in the business of grave
robbing and We have an order for
body about the size of your nus
bands. If you don't want his grave
robbed leave 5000 in the red barn
across the street
That was the note Meek is al
legged to have sent Mrs. Mary Ann
Halton. Cataract. Owen county, and
for which he was given one to
f1ve-year sentence in Owen circuit
court.
Property status of the corpse was
brought 10 the high courts atten-
ton today by Hubert Hickam,
Meek's attorneys, who contended
the blackmail law only covers cases
in which a threat is made against
the body or property of any one.
Hickam offered numerous citations
to prove that his client can not be
convicted Of blackmail.

GAN FRANCISCO, May %
~ A new fight to exonerate Tom
Mooney in the 1915 Prepared
ness day bombing scheduled to
open in superior court today at
the trial he has demanded on a
long-dormant murder indictment.
The last legal barrier was re-
moved late Tuesday when the
state supreme court refused to
issue a writ of mandate dismiss
ing the seventeen-year old indict-
ment which charged Mooney
with one of the ten bombing
deaths.
Only a brief trial which may
terminate in a directed verdict of
acquittal seemed likely in view
of the states refusal to prosecute.
Such procedure, observers be-
lieved, may defeat the very pur-
pose for which Mooney demand
ed a new trial, that he be given
a chance to prove, as perjured,
evidence which convicted him in
1917. This, he hoped, would
bolster his prolonged fight for a
pardon.

JUDGE ORDERS
SUIT AGAINST
BANK OFFICERS
Cox Grants Permission to
Receiver to Demand
S1,150,OOO.
CHARGE DISHONEST ACTS
Washington Trust Leaders
Guilty of Criminal
Moves, Is Claim.

Permission to file three suits
seeking S1,150,00O was granted today
by Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox to
Oren S. Hack, receiver of the
Washington Bank and Trust Com
pany.
Grand jury investigation of
transactions involving former Off
Gals of the defunct State Savings
and Trust Company was ordered to
begin Wednesday by Prosecutor
Herbert E Wilson.
Suits which Hack is to file will be
based on alleged dishonest and
criminal acts OF directors and Off
Gals of the Washington bank, which
was closed Oct. 81, 1890
Of the total sought, $1,000 900
would be asked in a suit alleging
directors by omission, commission,
malfeasance, misfeasance and non
feasapce' caused loss to the bank.
False Entries Charged
Among the specific allegations is
one that the directors permitted
Edward Morris, former president,
who died Of carbon monoXide poi
soning from the exhaust of his au-
tomobile, to negotiate loans with
worthless paper as security.
They also charged directors per-
mitted false entries, allowed re-
ports to the state banking depart
ment which did not disclose the
true condition of the bank, and
made loans to corporations in which
they were interested.
Second suit would be based on an
indemnity bond of the Fidelity De-
post Company of Maryland, which
was for protection of the bank
against loss due to dishonest and
criminal acts of officers or en-
ployes.
Cites Confidential Report
Basis of the third suit will be an
allegation that $4,000 was lost to
the bank through unlawful action Of
directors in declaring dividends
when it is declared the bank did
not have net earnings or surplus
in sufficient amounts to warrant
dividends.
The allegations on which the suits
would be based, Hack declared in
petitions for permission to sue, are
based on statements in a confiden-
tial report to Brandt G. Downey,
replaced as receiver by Hack on the
order of Cox
The State Savings probe will CEN
ter on a charge that $4,000 was
carried as an asset of the bank,
when in reality it was a liability
of the State Property Company, a
subsidiary, Wilson said.
Bank Statements PrObed
Bank statements showing notes
totaling 100000 also will be inves-
tigated. Wilson declared that the
actual total of the notes was $780,
900 when the statement was made
to the bank examining department.
Assistance of Mrs Ida BrOo &C
countant who audited the records
at direction of Circuit Judge Earl
r. Cox. and the accounting firm of
Spradling. Carter e. Jordan, will be
asked in presentation of the rec
ords to the grand jury, Wilson said.
recommendation of the deposit
ors' committee of the closed Bel
mont State bank will be submitted
at a meeting to be held Saturday
at the Belmont theater. c. A. Kiln

day.
Action in another bank case to-
day was taken by Superior Judge
Russell J. Ryan, who delayed APP
pointment of a receiver for the Ac-
ton State Bank to await outcome
of an attempt at reorganization.

Baker said trial would be on a
count other than the one on which
Berger was given year sentence at
the state penal farm.
Reiterating criticism of Governor
Paul V. McNutt's new state Glenn
ency commission, Baker called De-
tective Roy Peats to discuss filing
of new charges against Berger or
going before the grand jury TO seek
new indictment of banditry.
Berger is alleged to have con-
fessed holding up three filling sta
tons, menacing attendants with a
toy pistol. He was indicted on only
one charge and Baker, accepting his
age as 20, sentenced him to a year
at the penal farm. Penalty for rob-
berry by persons 81 or over is one to
ten years in state prison.
Last week, persons of influence
appeared before the clemency COM
mission with appeals in the youth S
behalf, with the result that he was
paroled after serving four months
of the year sentence. That was the
spark which detonated a blast of
indignation from Baker, with the
clemency commission as the target.
Baker soundly berated the board
for what he termed going behind
my back" and said the parole was
an example of what money and
influence can do. If Berger mad
been from a poor family and with
out influential friends, no such
leniency would have been shown
him." Baker charged.
