SEN. ROBINSON TO FILE LIBEL SUIT Senator To Charge Boyd Gurley With Criminal Libel Indianapolis, Sept. 17. — (INS) — United States Senator Arthur R. Robinson announced today that his attorneys were preparing the necessary 'papers for a crimlnel libel action against Boyd Gurley, editor of the Indianapolis Times, and a damage suit against the Times Publishing company, as the result of charges made in the Times that Senator Rob inson- had attempted’ to influence the Indiana supreme court. The senator had sent an ultimatum to Gurley September 13 demanding that the Tinies retract within three ( days the original charge made In an editorial on September 12. The time limit expired yesterday evening. oGILLIOM ASKS THAT SENTENCE BE INCREASED (CONTIXL’KD FROM I’AGK OJtR) open court in support of this motion, and that the clerk, ot the court be ordered to Issue subpoenaed for all : witnesses whom the state may designate.” Attorney General Gilliom began the famous contempt case against Shumaker. Recentily, he has been speak ' Ing widely in the state against 1 attempts to influence high courts. I Dr. Shumaker was found guilty of attempting to influence the court in | its decisions on prohibition eases by I threatening political reprisals unless the justices made rulings that were 'acceptable to the league. i Six ‘‘friends of the court.” ail promI inent attorneys, advised he was guil■ty of the charge and the supreme court upheld this decision and pronounced sentence. I Sentence was stayed in order to I ftcrmit the dry leader’s attorneys to , file motions on his behalf. Final I action in the case was not expected until October. Dr. Shumaker’s foli lowers have lauded him as a "martyr” to the dry cause in resolutions adopted by various associations of ministers, the W. C, T. U. and other organizations. , Tile charge that Watson had approached three justices of the court before a decision was announced was , made by Shumaker in commenting i on the letters. Watson And Robinson Involved I Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 17.—(INS) J United States Senators James E. Watson and Arthur R. Robinson to , day were drawn into the controversy between Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom and the Indiana AntiI Saloon League through publication of letters and a statement by Edward S. Shumaker, Indiana Anti Saloon J League superintendent. | The data jnade public revealed that I the charge that Senator Robinson sought to ward off the decision es '(the state supreme court, which sentenced Shumaker to the state farm | for 6 days for contempt ot court, was laused upon letters exchanged between Senator Watson and Shumaker and upon an account by Shumaker of a t.-lephone ebnversatifon ho said he had with Senator Watson. ‘ When Arthur Robinson camo to 1 me at Washington and talked to mo | about tills (the Shumaker contempt i case), he said to me that he was ex- ■ cc-edingly anxious for me to work in ; my own way. as far as 1 could coni s-isten'fy with my views in regard to l courts, to keep you from being sent .to jail.” Senator Watson wrote to Shumaker on August 8, 192.6. That Senator Wtitson responded I-to Senator Robinson’s suggestion wigs indicated by additional paragraphs ot the letter: i ‘‘l wrote a number of letters 'through Indiana,” Watson continued. ■ “That I hoped might be helpful in bringing about such n conclusion.” Senator Watson informed Shumaker in the same letter, however, that lie had learned that his penalty would be only a fine. ) The letter was dated a year before I the supreme court finally reached a t decision by vote of 3 to 2, to send Slmntaker to the state farm because he bad criticized decisions of court > members in cases of alleged bootleggers brought before the body on appeals from lower courts. ———o Schlec And Brock Sai!
