Muncie, Indiana, Fr.’day, March 4, 1932. The Mayor is Indicted (BY THE MAYOR) The information has reached me that I have been indicted by the federal grand jury for alleged offenses that may be known to the grand jury, but the nature of which j are to me unknown and will be until I have an opportunity to read the charges. All I know about it is that federal agents working out of the Detroit division of the department of justice, so called, have maintained headquarters at the Y. M. C. A. for some time, where they have systematically obtained perjured statements from hoodlums who were ushered into their presence by two disreputable rats, one of whom was discharged from the police force and the other is under suspended sentence for contributing to the delinquency of a small boy and who is known to have perjured himself in a trial in the Federal court. The Federal before the Federal grand jury were almost without exception persons whose lawless activities in Muncie have been terminated by police activity and whose names adorn almost every page of the police arrest book since I have been in office. It is unfortunate that the local daily newspapers were forced by the unexpected abduction of the Lindbergh baby to haul out the box car scare head type that they have been saving up to herald either the second coming or the mayor’s indictment and will have to content themselves with a lesser exhibition of display type. And as I write this a sudden idea assails me. Possibly 1 have been indicted for stealing the noted flyer’s curly headed tot. Since I have committed no Federal crime that I can think of at present, or that anybody else in Muncie can think of, it is just as reasonable to charge me with kidnaping the world’s leading infant as it is to take the word of bootleggers and gamblers whom I have sent to the ranks of the unemployed, that I have done anything else in conflict with Federal law. I am exceedingly tolerant of the action of the Federal, grand jury in returning the indictment. They are all" strangers to me and to the city of Muncie and had no way of judging the facts except as they were presented by Wit-
nesses.
The witnesses were selected ,by the Y. M. C. A. conspirators and sent down to testify. How could they know that Bolinger had been fired from the police force because of his utter worthlessness and crookedness ? ' How could they know that Plug Walburn had been put out of the gambling racket, busted by police activity and transformed from the king of the underworld into a red apple salesman ? ( What did they know about the nauseating Clell Maple or John Cox and how do they know that this administration sent Pete Barlow to the penitentiary, made a big butter and and egg man out of Billy Finan and men without a country out of Earl Everett, John Grubbins and Billy Morrison? I don’t thing either of the Billies or former Contractor Grubbins testified before the grand jury. It was even too strong for them to be seen in the crowd that was hauled down from the Alcazar pool room by Cliff Cranor. It is fitting that the fourth day of March should have been selected as the date selected to nail me to the cross to make a Roman holiday for Jim Watson and the saintly George Ball. One year from today, on the anniversary of this auspicious occasion, take your cameras down to Indianapolis and to Washington and take a snap shot of the Great Exodus. And as sure as there is a God in Heaven I will exert myself to the utmost to see to it that every filthy criminal, high and low, that took a hand in this conspiracy to destroy me will be punished for the crime.

The Death of Mr. Lockwood
(BY GEORGE R. DALE)
The Post-Democrat through the absence of the editor
last week failed to add its voice to the chorus of newspapereses’ umi
comments on the death of George Lockwood, publisher of
the Muncie Press.
The editor of the Post-Democrat knew George Lockwood for many years. We were personal friends although I violently dissent from his ultrq-reactionary political writ-
ings.
It is George Lockwood the man, instead of Lockwood the editor, that I choose to remember and whose memory we cherish. It is George Lockwood and I were singularly close. He held a personal regard for me and I for him that could not be shaken by occasional outbursts in his paper and in mine that might indicate to the general public that we were personal enemies. The man had attributes of the great as well as editorial faults that I believe were wholly due to contacts with hard boiled politicians who were pygmies as compared with George Lockwood. When I think of some of hte men in the Republican and Democratic parties who were eulugized occasionally by George Lockwood, I am constrained to wonder how he could do it,/knowing the man as I did, but nevertheless I believe he was really honest in everything he wrote. It pleases me to remember the words of George Lockwood as we stood together on the same platform last Fourth of July night at McCulloch park, where he appeared at my request to introduce another great newspaper man, Boyd Gurley of the Indianapolis Times. Facing that vast crowd of forty or fifty thousand people Mr. Lockwood turned to me with amazement and said: “Mayor Dale, you are doing something for the people of Muncie. This great crowd means something.’’ 1 wish George Lockwood could have lived his full span of life. I didn’t think I could miss a man so much, whose newspaper had occasionally stabbed me to the heart. I wish 1 could tell him that 1 never really meant what I said when 1 threw occasional jibes at him in my own newspaper. However, we really understood each other.
