Meyer KiSer Findings
Until Thursday.

Returning to his office today after
a tip to the Kentucky Derby at
Louisville, Criminal Judge Frank P.
Baker today announced he would
not receive the delayed grand jury
report on the defunct Meyer-Kiser
bank until Thursday.
The grand jury, it was learned,
attempted to return indictments
against four former officers of the
bank last Friday, but was unable
formally to file the indictments due
to the absence of Judge Baker. The
indictments, it was reported,
charged embeZzlement.
Herbert E. Wilson, prosecuting at
tOrney, who is in charge of the in
yestigation into the affairs of the
bank, was present, it was learned.
when the grand jury attempted to
return the indictments. When Mr..
Wilson heard of the absence of
Judge Baker, he insisted to court
attaches that the indictments were
most important"
Wilson WithhOIds Comment
Frantic efforts were made to
reach Judge Baker en- route to the
races, and urge him to appoint a
protein judge.
Interviewed at his office today.
Judge Baker said:
In order that the prosecutor may
not be subjected to criticism of hav-
ing timed a grand jury report for it's
political effect upon his candidacy,
no report of the grand jury will be
received in this court until Thurs
day morning of this week.
Grand jurors, the prosecutor and
his deputies are under oath to keep
secret the proceedings of a grand
jury"
Mr.. Wilson refused to comment
on Judge Bakers statement.
Four Reported Indicted
For former officers of the bank
r reported TO have been under
grand jury investigation. They are
Ferd and Sol Meyer, Melville Cohen
and J. j. KiSer.

v~estigator into the affairs of the
bank. Mr.. Rucker made a report to
Judge Cox and his findings were

ROAD WORKERS
CHARGE VOTE
INTIMIDATION
Commissioner Marker De-
MES Threatening County
Employees.
10000 WILL BALLOT
Heaviest Visit to Polls in
County Primary His
tory Seen.
10000 WILL BALLOT

Charges IF intimidation OF coun-
ty employees was made today to The
Indianapolis Times as the city and
county precincts prepared for bal
loting in tomorrow's primary.
The vote tomorrow is expected to
be the largest primary balloting in
the history of the county. Election
officials declared 10000 voters are
expected to go to the polls. The
vote registration was 226, 1000.
Alleged charges of intimidation
came in the race for county COM
missioner of the Second district.
Workers on county highway crews
charged to The Times that Ernest
Marker. candidate for denomination,
told them at a meeting in the coun-
ty yard that they would have to get
out and work for him or lose their
jobs after election.
Mr.. Marker denied the charges.
What 1 did say was It's the duty
of every one to whom we have been
loyal, to return that loyalty to Us
and be just as loyal" declared
Commissioner Marker as he charged
his words were misconStrued and
that the attack was mud singing"
Returns to Be Slow
And only yesterday at the poor
farm I talked, and told every inmate
and employee, entitled to vote, re-
CARELESS of whether they were
Democrat or Republican should do
so and should not be hampered in
exercising that right" Mr.. Marker
said.
Due to the large number of can
didateS in the primary and the
lengthy ballots it is expected that
returns will be slow in coming in.
Certification of precinct boards
has been difficult, it is reported by
county chairmen of both parties,
due to the lengthy and long time to
count the votes. Board members
previously selected have been with
drawing because OF belief that the
count will require two or three days
and that they receive pay but for
twenty-four hours.
Polls open at 6 a. m. and close at
s p. m.
Urge Daytime Voting
Housewives and those males able
to vote through the day are urged
to do so to prevent a jam during
opening and closing hours when
workers cast their ballots.
Many firms in the city are giving
their employees 'time-out' during
the day for balloting.
Election supplies were distributed
yesterday at a meeting in Tomlinson
hall.
A force of deputy prosecutors will
be on hand in the office of Prose-
cutor Herbert E. Wilson to answer
any complaints at the polls and to
aid police and deputy Sheriffs in
protecting the primary against
fraudulent voting.
Prosecutor Wilson requested voters
reporting trouble to telephone Lin
coin 6561.
AT TomlinSon hall yesterday. Su-
perior Judge Russell J. Ryan spoke
in the abolition of the primary cleo
ton system at the meeting to give
precinct election board last minute
voting instructions.
Results of the primary voting will
be ~canvaSSed officially beginning at
8 a.. m. Wednesday. Democratic bal
lots will be canvaSSed in criminal
court and the Republican tabula-
tons in probate court.
