'FORMER DECATUR TEACHER IS HELD AT INDIANAPOLIS ((IIVUM KU FROM I’iGE ONK) ates" who had hardly been Inside his college. The scheme that Dr. Briggs used was simplicity itself. After assuring himself that his prospective "graduates" had a couple of hundred dollars, he prepared registry books to show that they had entered for instruction prior to Jan. 1. 1927. tints conforming with state law. Then he gave them rental receipts to indicate they had shared his offices from the time of •’enrollment." Some Students Actually Instructed Some of the students actually received a few days or weeks of instruction. although this procedure evidently was unnecessary. Many of them received "credit’’ for previous instruction in colleges they had never heard about, much less attended. Dr. Btiggs. as dean, said he had authority to do it. While the dollars rolled in from his regular college. Dr. Briggs also maintained a branch for negroes. There the scale of prices was lower, but the diplomas were just as pretty. The dean at the same time gave legitimate instructions to students interested in naturopathy. Indeed, it appeared that originally he had confined himself to such lessons, but became angered at the restrictions imposed by the legislature to eliminate “quacks". Some of the students who appeared at his college for the legitimate instruction were persuaded to be hurred through the "mill.” Dr. Briggs assuring them i* was “all right.” It was in the guise of a legitimate student that the newspaper reporter appeared at Dr. Briggs' negro branch and was directed to the white school. But the doctor waved aside his ambitions to learning in urugless healing. It wasn't necessary to take instruction. the novice healer was

assured. Even after receiving a diploma, the newspaper investigator tried to get some knowledge of naturopathy, hut the doctor boasted he had put 150 graduates — legal and otherwise — through the state examinations. The price for quick and lessonless diplomas seemed (o be around $l5O although Dr. Hrlkks was not adverse lb accepting less. Briggs is married and evidently well educated. He was graduated from Earlham college in 1917. receiving a degree of Bachelor of Arts, and was a student at other bona fide schools in his particular endeavor. Mis. Hrlkks said her husband taught school at Decatur, Ind., for two years. "Knew It Was Coming Mrs. Briggs who is in no way connected with the operation of the school told officers that she had expected the arrest of her busband. "I knw it was coming", she said. "I have tried and tried to get him out of this business and back into s'.hcol teaching. "I knew that he was going something wtoag", Mrs. Briggs continued, "but to save me. I couudn't tell you in just what instances or give you the names of the men to whom he issued diplomas which were fraudulent.” she told detectives. “1 knew he was taking in more money than I saw or knew of and for that very reason,” she said, "1 have been staying down here at the office since about the first of June."

Weeds not cut by July Ist will be cut by the city at the property owner’s expense and charged on the tax duplicate. City of Decatur Street Department.
