RINEHART CASE
BEFORE BAKER
Washington Bank officials
Motion to QuaSh Under
Amusement.

Mark V. Rinehart was not vice
president of the Washington Bank
and Trust Co. at the time it closed
and thus had no knowledge of the
acceptance of deposits, his attor-
neys argued today on a motion to
quash the aff1davits charging Mr..
Rinehart with embezzlng bank de-
poSitS.
Attorney Pred G. Cause said that
Mr.. Rinehart was a director, but
as such had no power to open or
close a bank, and that the state
must show that Mr. Rinehart had a
direct connection with the accept
ing of a deposit at time when the
bank was insolvent.
I'VE will show that Mr. Rinehart
was the guilty one and the bank
was insolvent more than "a hours
before it closed" Prosecutor Her.
bert M. Spencer said.
Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker
took the motion under Amusement
and asked the attorneys to file their
briefs.
Dick Miller, former president Of
the City Trust Co., and Sol Meyer,
former president of the Meyer-Kiser
bank, both of whom have filed mo-
tons to quash embezzlement indict-
mentS against them, sat beside Mr..
Rinehart in the courtroom.
The motions charged that the
affldavits prepared by Prosecutor
Spencer do not set out facts show
ing a public offense and do not state
the offense with certainty. Mr..
Meyers motion was filed today.

tory.

ner, who last week gave the boys SO
years in the reformatory when they
pleaded guilty to kidnapping Sheriff
Ed Leugers after he had arrested
them on suspicion revamped his
Judgment yesterday afternoon in a
tense court scene.
After a storm of protest creating
state wide agitation. Judge Sumner
hastily granted a motion for new
trial yesterday morning and went
into conference with the parents of
the Ray boy and his attorney, T.
Ernest Msholm, Indianapolis.
Guilty of Auto Banditry
Shortly after noon the boys APP
peared again before Judge Sumner
and pleaded guilty to aff1davits
charging auto banditry-af1davits
incidentally that Attorney Maholm
prepared because Prosecutor A. r.
StimSon Jr. had not had time to
prepare them.
Judge Sumner preceded the SEN
fencing with talk from the bench
in which he said that the Jasper
community was aroused over the
pretty ugly trick" the boys had
done when they kidnapped Sheriff
Leugers. locked him with his own
handouts, and left him in stolen
car near Bloomfield after they run
the car in the ditch in wild flight.
When Judge Sumner suspended
a sentence to the Reformatory for
young Ray and paroled him to his
parents, young Ray forgot his boast
ed emulation of John Dillinger and
cried in court with all the talent
of one even younger than IA.
Issues Warning to Boy
Judge Sumner said he was Sus-
pending the sentence because 1t
does not seem in the best interests
of society that the term be served
now.
IF you don't go right nov" said
the Judge, noticeably moved, you
deserve to be where l had to send
you last week"
Today Sheridan awaits transpor-
tation and commitment to the re-
formatory, and Young Ray and his
parents are stopping over at French
Lick Springs on the way home to
Huntington, w. Va, because Mrs.
Ray never had seen the show place
of Indiana before.
