Corbett Johnson s Ride What has become of the government’s case against Mayor George R. Dale and others since the pitiful exposure of the falsity of the wierd story of Corbett Johnson’s ride? Just on the eve of the trials at Indianapolis, where framed-up evidence was to be used to “get” the mayor of Muncie, the Press covered the first page with a story that Corbett Johnson, the star witness against Dale and others, had been “taken for a ride” and threatened with death if he testified in Federal court. Three “swarthy strangers” took Corbett for the death ride. The story was told to the Press by Fred Bolinger and Fred Foss, Federal informers. The Press quoted Bolinger and Rose as saying that Johnson told them the story “reluctantly.” \ . Later, says the Press, Johnson was interviewed and he corroborated the story. Sheriff Puckett, who was also a government witness, and active in digging up phony evidence, stated that he was close on the track of the kidnapers and also stated, according to the Press, that he called on Corbett Johnson the next day at noon for information. Now it has been proved in court that the whole story was concocted out of the whole cloth. Judge Guthrie knows it now, although he was Impressed by the story at the time. The wife of Corbett Johnson says she called the sheriff’s office and denounced the fake, but was told to keep her mouth shut. . She kept her mouth shut until the trial at Indianapolis was over but Thursday m juvenile court she told the truth. The Press runs the story of the exposure but instead of offering groveling apologies to the victims of Johnson’s perjury, prints it as an ordinary news story, without editorial comment. Johnson, Rose and Bolinger were the set-up witnesses for the government. In his opening statement District Attorney George R. Jeffrey made a great play on the kidnaping of Jdhnson. He said in that statement that he would prove Officer Ray Powell was one of the kidnapers. Johnson went on the witness stand and gave a vivid description of the manner in which he was kidnaped. Questioned by the difltript attorney he said he had changed his mind about PowelL ‘A^ter seeing him in court, he said he was not the man, but look^ like him. ' : ij.p n I , { Johnson decided to chahlge his mind after he found dut that Powell had been on duty all night in police headquarters, at the switch board, when the kidnaping was supposed to take place. It was on the ridiculous, unbelievable evidence of Rose, Bolinger and Johnson that the mayor of Muncie and his police officers were convicted of a felony, after being compelled to go through the ignominy of arrest, indictment, imprisonment, conviction and sentence and to go to the enormous expense and worries of the trial and appeal. The kidnaping story was framed up just on the eve of the trial and the day before thq primary election, in order to break down the political influence of the mayor and his friends who were candidates and to prejudice his case in the Federal court. And now the story goes up in smoke. The proof comes that Johnson lied to the newspaper reporters, lied to the judge, lied to the jury. District Attorney Jeffrey should be removed from office immediately, another appointed in his place, and a Federal grand jury called to investigate this case. A county grand jury should also be impaneled to indict those who perjured themselves here and those who paid for the perjury. Bob Parkinson was the pay-off man. That should be a good start for the grand jury in both courts. The government and the county court cannot afford to condone this hideous miscarriage of justice. Mayor Dale told Attorney General Mitchell the thing was a frame up. Now it is proved. What will be done about it?

Advice from the Oracle The story was published this week that John Maxon, member of the county council, delivered a speech at a council meeting. The question of an appropriation for the poor of Centre township came up and John settled the entire question in his usual offhand manner, if he was reported correctly. He said immediate construction of the intercepting sewer and disposal plant would solve the unemployment problem here for two or three years. And that wasn’t all. He was reported as saying that Mayor Dale had it in his power to start on the project immediately, and if the mayor did so, he, for one, would be one of the first to give him credit for it. That sounded good, but it smells almost as bad as the river, at its most odoriferous spot on Sutton’s bend. The rest of the council did not notice the smell. When John Maxon speaks, it’s almost like listening to the Star Spangled Banner with your hat off. According to one newspaper, the other members of the council nodded gravely, but without comment, when John so generously offered the hand painted urn to the mayor. They generally do nod in assent, when the oracle speaks. Maxon is some relation to Charley Dawes and Rufus Rastus Johnsing Dawes, and might be termed in newspaper headline parlance, a gas head, just as railroad magnates are called rail heads or boss brewers as beer heads. He was brought back here from some place out west by his old friend George Cromer, secretary and attorney for the gas company, to take a ten dollar a year job on the county council, preparatory to his debut next spring as a maiden entrant in the mayoralty handicap. It took John but a week orTwo to qualify as an expert on taxation, and under the tutelage of Uncle George Cromer he became the last word on taxation problems in the local stand pat Republican group. He is quoted as saying that the mayor could use the township trustee’s ticket me to dig the sewer. If we have been correctly informed this work can be performed only by machinery, but whether this is true or not, the sewer experts have prepared plans for the intercepting sewer to be laid in the river bed. It would be somewhat inconvenient for ticket men or any other kind of me:?, to stand neck deep in the water and shovel dirt out of the river bed. If any of the dirt remained on the shovel by the time it had been hoisted to the surface, the shoveler would have another problem to solve. He would either have to toss it fifty feet or so to the bank or wade out with it and 'then return to the middle of

the river for more. Several plans have been proposed by experts for digging that blessed sewer, but the Maxon plan, or the Dawes plan, whichever you would call it, is somewhat original, to say the least. With all due respect to John and his political adviser, who didn’t do so well the last time he tried to pick out a mayor, the present mayor declines to follow the advice of the oracle, even if the other members of the county Aouncil did nod their heads In token of three hearty cheers for his approval.

MAYOR’S CORNER

tire police force who were protecting a municipal gambling} 1 / house operated by a member of the board of works in the

Hampton administration.

If I understand the attitude of the government agencies that brought about my prison sentence, I was not convicted for a conspiracy to violate the liquor law, but was condemned for a breach of contract that I DID NOT MAKE, and incidentally that no man dared to make for me, regardless of the evidence pf the complaining hoodlums who were put out of business my Massey’s police. Later I will have more to publish concerning the evi dence and the utterances of the prosecutors, but will conclude this time by reproducing, from the record, the concuding sentences of United States Attorney George R. Jeffrey in his closing argument to the jury: “Gentlemen, I have done every conceivable thing that I considered honorable and within my power to convict George Dale and the rest of his henchmen at Muncie. The duty is now up to you. The judge is sitting here, ready to perform any duty you may impose upon

him.

“Now, if you want to sit here and become the weak link in the chain of a Federal government that extends help and is willing, at all times, to help communities like this out of these matters, just say to these men, ‘You may go free. You may back to Muncie and rule these people as you have in the past. Not even the Federal government can interfere to help these helpless citizens clean up their own

community.’

“If you want to do that, just find them not guilty. If you want to give these people an honest chance to obtain a good, clean govern ment, such as they are entitled to, then tell the judge that these men

every one of them, are guilty as charged.”

I want particularly to call your attention to Jeffrey’s plea to the jury not to be THE WEAK LINK IN THE N o CHAIN OF A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. ' *arb

That was ah implication, too plain to be misunderstood, ^ net for her role in “Th#

that all agencies of the government, including himself, the ~ filthy, lying-crooks who perjured themselves, the loathsome stool pigeons and Federal agents and the hard boiled troop of Federal marshals who herded their prisoners to jail, denying them their constitutional right of bail, were infallL

ble and above suspicion.

It was put up to the jury in such a manner that they no doubt feared to return a verdict of not guilty. They did not dare to be regarded as the “weak link.” They forgot for the moment that the government chain is not confined to the office of the department of justice. They forgot that the government chain is as long as there are people in America and that each citizen constitutes a link in that chain, and that each of these one hundred and twenty million links deserves the protection of its government against such ignorant assaults upon the rights and liberties of an

enlightened people.

I vorder some times what the jury thought I was guilty of. There was no specific charge, no allegation of dishonesty or graft; the witnesses were the scum of the earth

I am in favor of moderate reductions In governmental expenses, where such reductions can be made without injury to the business of the country, but when it comes to cutting all branches to the bone in order to make votes, then it is a far different matter. The newspapers don’t care what becomes of the people ip-so-far as taxes are concerned, but they have a political reputation to uphold and are willing, as Artemus Ward once said, “to put down 4he war, even at the expense of all their wive’s relations,” in order to accomplish the downfall of the opposition party. , v**'

But inr “The First Year” she has a father and mother of ample means, wears charming frocks, and entertains various young men as suitors. In fact, the chief charm of this latest Gaynor-Farrell romance is said to be the delightful naturalness of both players who rely solely upon their own person-

The Voice of the

Kitty

‘It iniglit be interesting for the people of Muncie to knt>w the kind'Of “hogwash” that was handed to the Federal jury by the district attorney and his deputy at the trial of the Muncie “conspirators.” Tilford Orbison, a deputy district attorney, made the opening argument to the jury on behalf of the government. Young Orbison, a former democrat, is a son, of Charlie Orbison, the Ku Klux side kick of D. C. Stephenson, now embalmed for life in Michigan City prison for murdering Madge Oberholtzer. Considering the fact that in the raging days of the klan the Post-Democrat did not speak in terms of esp„_ial endearment of Tilford’s daddy, the young man may probably be excused for his vehemence in picturing me as the villain of the play. However I will leave it to my readers to analyze one or two statements made by the impassioned youth, as he addressed the jury that convicted me. Here is a sample: “Now, let us first consider the character of these men, as shown by the testimony here, before we enter into a discussion of the evidence, to determine whether or not the evidence, as produced by government witnesses, is true or not. In other words, if we get an understanding of a man’s character and of the way his mind works, we then have a foundation upon which to go in order to determine whether or not he did that particular act or acts which the government charges. ; ; “Now, let us consider George Dale, the mayor. What kind of a man is he? I think you will agree with me that he is a strong-minded man. He likes power. He likes to dictate. It is rule or ruin with him. If you don’t agree with him, out you go. Now, regardless, gentlemen, whether or not he is guilty in this case, for the time being, isn’t that the character of a man he is? I think that is evidenced by the fact that, when he went into office as mayor, he discharged all the police, immediately, without a hearing. Then he told the board of safety who he wanted as policemen. Thep, during his whole administration, he fired and hired at will. On the witness stand, you could tell that he was a man that was ruler only.” That kind of hooey might go in a Federal court room, before a jury from southern Indiana who would have had to study for months the various cross sections, of local politics before they could possibly understand what it was all about, hut Orbison would have been laughted out of court if he had attempted that line of argument before a jury of my neighbors in Delaware county. I was convicted for being “strong-minded,” and for firing Hampton’s cops, and my “character,” measured by the Orbison standard, must have been the deciding factor, for Orbison asserted that by determining my character the jury should decide whether or not such characters as Fred Bolinger, Red Rose, Plug Walburn, Cliff Cranor, Corbett Johnson and others of their stripe were to be believed. It would have been useless for me to fyave interrupted Orbison by telling him that it was not me, but the voters of Muncie who discharged the entire Hampton police force. Federal marshals would have prevented me from telling the jury that Orbison was “off his nut” and that my one direct campaign promise was that I would fire the entire police force as soon as I took office and that I simply did a thing that few mayors do after they get in—I KEPT MY

PROMISE.

After discussing some of the perjury that consigns me to the penitentiary, perjury that MUST be believed after his vivid description of my “character,” Orbison lightly tossed off this gem for the enlightenment of the jury! “Now, I want to ask you this, gentlemen. Could Frank Massey have held his job one single minute if he had not done everything that

George Dale wanted him to do? No, if he had not done that he would was becoming more and more in have suffered the same fate as those numberless policemen who wer e , debt until today, the present addischarged So Frank found out that Ins friends could not be pro- ministration is compelled to raise

tected, that he could not do it. So he had to call them together, had to call Corbett Johnson and he had to tell Plug Walburn and Clifton Cranor that he could not control the -tOld Man,’ as he termed him, and he advised Johnson to go up to Hartford City and he told Cranor and Walburn to lay low for a little while, and thaf was the end of Johnson, and that was the end of Cranor and that was the end of Wal-

burn.”

It was the testimony of Cranor, Walburn and Johnson that they violated the law without prosecution during the Hampton administration. Cranor was a member of the Hampton board of public works. Laying aside the questicn of whether any one spoke for me (and if Orbison’s characterization of my “character” is true nobody could) and promised in my behalf that lawlessness would be condoned, the speech of Orbison should have won my acquittal, with a vote of thanks from the jury for being one mayor in the

The conspiracy of perjury was hatched right here in Muncie and it is only due the mayor and others convicted on the evidence like Johnson that all concerned be brought to justice. Not only those who lied, but those who supplied the,money to hire the

Whdt Do You Think of the Star's Attitude in Regard to Slashjing Budgets, Salaries and All Other Expenses, Under a Demo-

cratic Administration?

*“F~ W. CRACKERS, Vine and /Walnut streets.—My opinion is that if the administration was Republican the Star would be insisting on raising instead of lowering expenses. Whenever the question of diverting a portion of the gasoline tax and auto license fees, now consumed, which we believe is the proper word, by the state highway commission, and turning the same ’over to the counties, cities and towns as a tax relief, invariably the Star set tip a howl and insists that the money be left in the hands of a Republican commis

sion.

i W. J. SNIFFER. 7216 East High street.—The Star is so notoriously unfair in Its treatment of the present administration, and is so intensely Republican, that it is impossible for it to give credit to a Democrati, under any circumstances. At the present time there

gasoline tax to the counties, cities and towns, there was nothing whatever said by local newspapers. However when the legislature proposed a bill of this kind, then one of the local papers set up a howl and advanced the idea, that if these funds were diverted, they should be administered by the state highway copimision, implying thereby, that there was no one in Delaware County honest enough to handle the funds in case the law was passed. The action of our local papers leads me to believe that tvhat Muncie needs, more than anything else, is a good daily, Democratic newspaper that will give the people the truth, regardless of who it af

fects.”

MRS. ROSE AMONIA SNEDICKER, Rochester avenue and Main street.—I read both the local newspapers because I can’t help myself, there being no other local daily paper to read, but I sometimes feel I would like to tufn '“Carrie Nation” and Wreck some of these newspapers on account of some of the matter contained in them. 1 am a Republican, but I believe in fair play and 1 do not believe in hypocritically laying low while some of my own party rob the taxpayers, and then, when the administration changes, and a Democratic administration is ush-

is a concerted movement to lower .ered in, try to befoul the eharac-

tylSS ANNODYNE

J891 Stfeatof avenue.—I think that about three-fourths of all this newspaper talk of lowering taxes, experses, salaries, etc., is pure l^bunk and is intended to apply only Jo those < f n opposite political belief. Wnei U wts suggested in this paper seveia' m o nths ago,

I read Wilbur Sutton’s article in the press in regard to diverting the gasoline tax, and I have been sore ever since. The idea that there is no t one in Delaware County honest enough to handle these funds in building roads and strets is a reflection not *finly on Democrats, but Repuhlicans as well.
