BUT FEW FACTS SHOWN. (t'nlteil Press Service) Indianapolis, Oct. 4, —(Special to Dally Democrat) —That Robert Metzter, member of the board of safety took a republican salloou keeper to chief of police Parrott and the saloon man was forced by threats to contribute to the democratic campaign fund, was a point of evidence brought out by the state today in the trial of Mayor Bell on election conspiracy charges. Metzter is named in the indictments. August Gluffre, the saloon keeper, said Parrott asked him whether he had said, "To hell with the mayor, I’m a republican,” and that he denied that he had said that. David Roush another saloon keeper said he had been in business eighteen years and when he refused to pay fifty dollars to Herman Adams a city employee, the police every afternoon drove the imtrons from the place. He finally paid twenty dollars, he said. The state indicated today that it might close Thursday. Thomas Taggart, national committeeman, "gave something” to Robert (Hawkshaw) Henderson, of Terre Haute the day of the primaries here, and later Henderson exhibited mohey in one and two-dollar bills with the statement, “I've got the stuff,” according to the testimony of John C. Nugent, former night chief of Terre Haute, in the trial of Mayor Bell here today. Nugent is the former appointtee of Mayor Donn Roberts of Terre Haute. o LEAGUE ADMITS MEMBERS At the meeting of the Epworth League on next Sunday evening admission of members will be a feature of tlie program. Quite a number of the young people have signified their intentions of becoming members of the league. o Democrat Want Ads Pay.
