Ind., May 15 (United Press) —Characterizing the situation as “roften to the core” Prosecutor Warren W. Martin, in his preliminary closing statement, bitterly flayed testimony of defense witnesses in the trial of 18 union miners charged with rioting. “I ha vs never before seep a trial in which there was so much perjury,” Martin declared. He pleaded with the jury by their verdict to "show the world that the people of Warrick county want witnesses who have respect for their oaths.” The attack came after conflicting testimony had been produced and , Judge Caleb Lindsey had asked that the grand jury investigate trial testimony tor perjury immediately after the close of this case. Defense attorneys will make their closing arguments today and the case is expected to go to the jury late 1 this afternoon. ( .o , Construction Work Swamps Muncie, Survey Shows Muncie.

According to Richard Lieber, director of the state department of conservation, this spot should become popular, noto nly with citizens of Indiana but with admirers of Lincoln throuhout the nation “It is the hope of the state," Lieber said, “to make a national shrine of the spot, rather than a playground. That will be the objective sought it the plans are carrie dout." Those directly Interested in the project feel that Indiana has an exceptional chance to make a shrine that will be revered by all of Lincoln’s many admirers, inasmuch as the formative years of his life were spent on the Thomas Lincoln farm—the site considered for the project. eKntucky, it is pointed out, has made a beautiful memorial to Lincoln at the place of his birth and Illinois has made an appropriate memorial at the place where he spent his maturity and where his body now lies. For these reasons, it is felt, Indiana should take advantage of the opportunity to hallow the ground where he spent his childhood and where his : mother died. While plans for the acquisition of 1 part of the former Thomas Lincoln farm, directly adjoining the ground now owned by the state, are pending. ’ the department of conseravtion has started improving the site of Nancy Hanks' grave. An order tor the erection of a temporary gate, opening into the state's latest addition to the memorial situ, and the sinking of a well, have boon made only in the past few days but these orders will be rushed through iu order thqt those who are already making pilgrimages to the grave may be taken care of. A parking space, just inside the gate, will be provided in a short time, Lieber stated, and the work of developing and beautifying the ground will get under way. —o Plans Campaign For Republican Nomination Terre Haute.
