Benton, 111., July 8—Another alleged crime, this time a bank robbery, involving Charles Birger, southern Illinois gang leader, and members of his gang, was confessed yesterday by Art Newman, former first lieutenant and now bitter enemy of Birger. Newman confessed orally to C. E. Hoiles, president of the Bond County State bank of Pocahontas, 111., that he drove the car used by three robbers, who took $10,000 from the bank last Novmber. He declared Birger sent the four men to rob the bank and received onefifth of the loot as his share.

Others Here in Probe.

Return of the prosecutors from Michigan City, was the signal yesterday for the gathering in Indianapolis of persons who figured in the grand jury investigations instituted last fall after Thomas .H. Adams of Vincennes, broadcast what he claimed to be a letter from Stephenson, smuggled from the prison, making certain veiled threats to “tell oil.” Mr. Adams was in the city yesterday, but refused to make any statements as to his mission here or his plans. He was the leader in an independent investigation conducted prior to

the grand jury inquiry.

L. G. Julian of Evansville, former business partner of Stephenson, whose name was connected with the “little black box” that was! supposed to contain documentary evidence damaging 1o certain men in Indiana public life, aisq was in Indianapolis. Julian’s presence .gave rise to the belief that the prosecuting officials might be on the trail of this evidence. Julian was sought several weeks last fall as a grand jury witness and, when he finally appeared, had no information, it was understood, that would throw light on the whereabouts of the alleged documentary evidence. Adams reiterated his statements of last fall that he would “have some interesting disclosures to

make public.”

In the meeting at Michigan City will be John H. Kiplinger of Rushville, Lloyd O. Hill and Paul B. Newman of Indianapolis, and Robert H. Moore of Michigan City. Stephenson's counsel. Mr. Kiplinger left last night for the northern

city.
