Jackson, Ten., July IL—Federal Judge J.' W, Boss, indicted yesterday in connection with the 8350,000 failure of the People's Savings bank, was found dead today pinned under the wreckage of his automobile. s . Judge Ross left his home for an early morning ride, saying little tc friends or relatives. An hour later motorists saw the wrecked ear where it had plunged off the bridge. The hotly was taken to his home. There was intense excitement when word spread that Ross, long a power in republican politics 1n this part of the state, had deliberately run his car off the bridge. Ross was appointed to the federal judgeship of, the western Tennessee district by Attorney General Daugherty in 1922. Owen Griffin, of a local undertaker firm, said death was doubtless due to an accident. The car ran off a bridge crossing the Forked Deer river channel. Ross’ neck was broken, the body crushed and the lungs filled with water. The Madison county grand jury yesterday indicted Ross and three officials of the Peoples Savings bank of Jackson on charges of embezzlement, forgery and breach of trust. It was alleged that Ross issued fradulent drafts, drawn on attorneys who practiced in his court. These drafts, lor sums as large as $20,000, attorneys refused to pay. The People's bank officials cashed them however, it was alleged and this contributed to the shortage that caused the bank to close. ■' — —O , Boy Run Down And Killed By An Auto East Chicago, Inti., July 9.—(United Press.) —William Jframer, Jr., was held today on a manslaughter charge awaiting investigation of the death of William Churiller, 12.
