C. W. Criiig. chief clerk of the Michigan City prison; Joseph Stepp, parole agent of the board of trustees, and A. A. Evans and Walter Clark, prison guards, were in the automobile with Stephenson. Previously, on two similar visits, Stephenson had been taken to the Marion county jail first, but this time he went directly to the county building and into the grand jury room. Simultaneously wCth his arrival, it was learned that the grand jury had disagreed with the plan of Prosecutor Remy to delay the latest inquiry into Indiana politics until cooler weather, late in August. Remy had been ordered by his physician to take a month’s rest and Special Prosecutor John W. Hqltzmann had planned to take a vacation. The jury, however, insisted that it hear Stephenson’s story fronljf his own lips before it reached a decision on whether or not it should recess through August. A preliminary report to Criminal Judge James A. Collins had been prepared in which the jury was to say it would adjourn. This was to have been presented to Judge Collins today. It was believed that Stephenson was brought here so suddenly and questioned at such an early hour in order to give the jurors plenty of time to make up their minds about adjournment} before 12 o'clock. Technically, the jury term of court, although it usually closes on Friday, does not end until midnight tortight—the last weekday in the month. Witnesses believed to have laid the background for Stephenson’s appearance before the grand jury had been questioned during the pie&iding five days. One of these was Miss Mildred Meade. Stephenson’s former private secretary, who is believed to have been responsible for delivery of the two little black boxes through L. G. Julian of Evansivljc to Special Prosecutor Ems,’ey W. Johnson at Washington, Ind, last week. Another was Rep. Russell V. Duncan of Indianapolis, a member of the 1925 legislature. He was called on three separate days and gave the most extended testimony of any witness to appear before the grand jury. It was reported to have concerned Stephenson’s alleged control of the legislature and the questioning was due partly to Stephenson's own boast that ho was the master of the lawnaking body. ; “When I cracked the wrip, most K MAX St a SHORt g Fop, Some.

of the men in that legislature jumped to do my bidding,” was the substance of a charge Stephenson repeated several times. When Deputy Prosecutor H. Sheaffer emerged from the grand jury room for a monemt, he was asked if Stephenson was doing much talking. “Well, he always does, doesn’t
