Attempted TO Locate This Man"
When he was shown a photograph
of the order to release Lee p. Bark
or from the Marion County Jail,
bearing his name and the initials,
j. A. b, Judge Baker told The
Times he had knowledge of the &C.
tentiOn of Lee P. Barker and that
ne had acquiesced to the release or
der.
Judge Baker explained to The
Times that information had reached
Joel A. Baker, Criminal Court in
vestigator and probation officer.
that Lee P. Barker could be found
at the Forest Lane address.
Judge Baker added that the order
for Barker's arrest then was issued
and that Criminal Court attaches
lay in wait for Barker to arrest him.
Judge Baker declared he and Joel
A. Baker desired to clear the Grim

Accordingly. he said, Joel A. Baker
went to the county Jail and talked
with Lee Barker.

brother, Lee was released from the
Jail on his own fecognizance, Judge
Baker told The Times.

court after the Christmas holidays,
Judge Baker said. His court had
been looking for them since that
time, Judge Baker declared
Before Judge Baker made his
statement, The Times asked Joel A.
Baker for details of the release Of
Lee P. Barker.
Joel A. Baker described the search
for and the arrest Of Lee P. Barker
and his subsequent release from the
county Jail exactly as did Judge
Baker in his statement.
I released Barker on his own
reCOgnizanCe. because he promised
TO bring his brother into court and
dispose of both cases" Joel A. Baker
told The Times.
Judge Baker later was asked by
The Times whether he had dele

Marion County commissioners
we're at odds today over the con-
struction of a new detention home
for juveniles.
Request for 100000 for the cree

County Council was the first step
taken by the commissioners toward
erecting a new building or taking
over other quarters for remodeling.
Commissioner John w Newhouse
desires to build a new home near
$50 n. New JerSey-St. He estimates
the cost of the building and land
will not exceed $780, 900. Federal aid
Will be sought in paying 80 per cent
of the construction cost.
Mr.. Newhouse said he had been
assured that the government would
aid in the construction. A portion
of the site is owned by the county
by virtue of a school fund loan
foreclosure.
Architects have drawn plans for
the new building. 1t is to be OF

Dow w. Vorhies, another COM

pealed the sentence to the Indiana
Supreme Court
IN 1880 tie Supreme Court hand
ed down its approval Of the convic-
ton Of Lee P Barker. The approx
al of Dell Bankers conviction was
handed down later.
At about the time the Supreme
Court approved his conviction I'M
der She Marion County charges. Lee
P. Barker and the Federal govern
ment had a legal skirmish involving
charges Of conspiracy to violate the
Federal prohibition amendment.
Lee lost the skirmish and was
sentenced to Leavenworth Prison.
He was released from Leavenworth
Jan. l, 1882, on good behavior
parole.
Dell Barker had served three davs
Of Judge Collins 1926 sentence at
the Indiana Reformatory before
posting his appeal bond. This rec
ord deprived him Of a parole and
he was released from Chilicotbe
Federal Prison April "a. 1888. after
completing his sentence for con-
spiracy.
Criminal Court Notified
When the Indiana Supreme Court
approved the convictions of the
Barker brothers under the state drv
law, the Marion County Criminal
Court was notified to that effect on
april 5, 1890 as to Barker.
Lee p. Barker's bOndsman was no
tilted to produce Lee in court for
commitment under the 1926 SEN
tence. Lee was in Leavenworth
prison and, in explanation of the in
ability of the bOndsman to produce
him, an affidavit of Lees Federal
prison term was produced.
Search of the records fails to
show that any detainer warrants
we're filed at either Federal prison
against the Barker brothers. thus
when their terms expired, they were
released outright by the Federal au-
thorities.
When Lee p. Barker was released
from LeavenWOrth he claims he re-
turned at once to Indianapolis. where
he took up his residence at his old
home in the 100 block on Broad
way for one year, before moving to
the Forest Lane address at which
he was arrested in April, 1895. to
answer the old charge.
Address Given on Petition
The Times was told by Mrs. Lee
P. Barker and neighbors. that Lee
P. Barker had resided at the Forest
Lane address for two years.
The clemency petition, bearing
the name of Judge Baker and con-
tanning the statement: we have
been unable to locate this man. was
signed by Lee P. Barker and gave
Barker's address as 64O9 Forest
Lane, the address at which he was
arrested on Oct. 81. 1884.
A similar ClGmency petition was
issued for Dell Barker, also bearing
he name Of Judge Baker.
Dell Barker's clemency petition
-lso bore his address. 1t was given
as Acton, r. R. A ,
So far as official records indicate,
Dell Barker never was brought into
court to be committed under the
1926 sentence. until he was COM
mitted April "a. 1888.
On the Dell Barker petition, over
the name of Frank P. Baker. was

T suppose they were last to leave" Dana said.
 we left together" Scott hesi- tated, checking himself.
 "Well?"
 Look here, Dana, I'm sick of this internal questioning"
 Dana'S face was so stricken that he added, "If you must know, was leaving with them, when Paula called me back for some idi- otic reason"
 "What did she want?"
 ''Not a darn thingl" By this time Scott was raging. It was pretty hard when a man had def1- nitely, unequivocably put tempta- ton behind him to be met with suspicion and distrust. True, the temptation, in the guise of a wo- man with all her defenses down, weakly throwing herself at his head, had been no temptation at all. Scott had been revolted by Paula's exhibition. Yet here was Dana, surveying him with unhap- py, accusing eyes.
 "Dana," he said, reaching out to- ward her.
 Don't kiss me, Scott!" Dana cried. Don't come near me-"
 If that's the way you feel about it, won't," he retorted angrily.
 Dana heard him go to the linen closet in the hall. He came back into the room with a blanket or his arm. Then he turned out the light.
 In the cold, gray morning, Dana awoke after a fltful sleep. Scott was lying, doubled up on one o1 the inadequate sofas, with a blan- ket half across him. One arm sprawled grotesquely off the sofa, his hand touching the floor.
 Poor darling," Dana thought in swift remorse. She lifted Scott's arm, pulled the cover up, tucking it about him closely. Then she laid 8 repentant kiss on his fore head.

 The key grated in the door.
 Scott entered, tip-toeing in the darkness in clumsy manifestation, with the hope, Dana realized, of not waking her.
 'Scott!" she said, switching on the light by her bed.
 "Oh. You are awake, honey?" Scott halted in the act of shed- ding his coat, came over and kissed her.
 T was so worried I couldn't sleep" Dana said. Where on earth have you been?"
 Where have you been, you mean?" Scott countered genially T came home - all the way home and found that you had been running around to parties, young woman"
 Dana laughed. "You didn't stay for the meeting?"
 :No. I phoned Bill from the of- flee. I was trying to get up a bridge game, and he told me you were there."
 Didn't he ask you to join us?"
 "Yes, but I decided to come home"
 You didn't stay long, did you?"
 "No. It was lonely as the devil without you"
 So you went out to find amuse- ment?"
 "What do you think?" Scott grinned at her. His face was slightly flushed, Dana noted, and there was smell of liquor, too. She said, T know! It must have been real entertainment to keep you out after g."
 There's no reason for you to keep guessing" Scott said lightly. A little too lightly. The episode at Paula's apartment had left him more uncomfortable than he had believed possible. He had queer, guilty feeling. Though he didn't know why.
 q was at Paula's," he said.
 At Paula's!' Dana's heart, which had been beating quite normally moment before, missed beat. She repeated, At Paula's. That's what I said"
 Scott found himself becoming angry. It wasn't like Dana to act like a little shrew. What If he had objected to her running around with Bonnie? Ronnie had been in love with Dana. And Scott himself had never pretended to be in love with Paula. even slightly. She had been-until to-night-just companionable friend. It was drinking too much that had sud- denly made her silly and emotion al.
 Dana was still staring at him. Her face was white.
 T came home," Scott explained. in clipped, careful tones, land found you gone. Then Paula called asking us to come over for bridge"
 "So you went to Paula's instead of coming to the Richardsons as Bill asked you to do."
 T didn't know how formal Bills party was, and I didn't feel like dressing"
 "You stayed away until past B." Dana said. She was ashamed of herself, but the long wait, the odor of liquor and something in Scott's eyes combined to make her feel terribly shaken. Tears rolled down her face. .
 "If you don't believe me, call Irene Winchester and ask her what time we left" Scott suggested coldly.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED so FAR
 Forces are at work that threat en the happiness of lovely DANA STANLEY and her attractive husband, DIR. SCOTT STANLEY, a struggling young physician.
 Dana's grandmother, who had hoped she would marry rich RONALD MOORE, is eager for the marriage to go on the rocks. PAULA LONG, who has been hopelessly in love with Scott for years, also hopes the marriage will fail.
 Dana's half-sister, NANCY, is deeply in love with Ronald. Knowing he loves Dana, she masks her feeling behind an an tagoniStic attitude.
 Paula goes to ScOtts office and asks him to prescribe for a se- were headache. Scott is puzzled by Paula's hySterical description of her suffering.
 Paula tells Dana about having luncheon with Scott, and Dana and Scott almost quarrel when she questions him later.

TO DEBATE PETITION
One. Man Operation Of New Car
riers Requested by Capi.
tai Transit Co.

The petition Of the Capital Transit
Co. for permission to convert Its 20
new street cars to one-man operation
will be debated at public hearing
before a decision is reached, the Pub
lie Utilities Commission announced
yesterday.
Date for the hearing has not been
set. The commission is awaiting a
report from It's chief engineer, Fred
A. Sager, on the effect Of one-man
operation on safety, time Of operation
and other points.
The change was asked by Presi-
dent John H. Hanna Of the transit
company so economies would be ef-
fected which he held essential be-
cause of the 100000 wage increase
for company employees.
-ecple's Counsel william A. Roberts
has attacked the. request on the
grou.d thc; when the style of the
new cars was approved by the COM
mission that agency ~pecified they
must IL both conductor and motor
man. One-man operation, he con-
tended, would slow up car movements
and prove more hazardous.
