CHARGES DEAD PERSONS VOTED ■ ■■ Defeated Candidate In Recent Primary Makes Sensational Charges Indianapolis, Juno 27 —(INS) - The dead revived long enough to vote and person* who hud moved from precincts returned to their old home for a period to cast their Itallots, according u> charges of election frauds made liere today by Archibald M. Hall, dofeated candidate for the Republican l nomination for congrenn from the seventh district. However. Hall has filed n motion to dismiss his ]>etltion for a recount ln his race against. Congressman Ralph K. Updike. A grand jury investigation of Hall's sensational charges was expected, following an extensive recount of the ballots, which probably will end this I week. Among the alleged irregularities, according to Hall, were: Eighty-six persons who were dead or who had not lived in the seventh precinct of the seventh ward within the legal period of one year voted. Approximately 3,500 citizens in the north side districts favorable to Hall were disenfranchised "either through carelessness or design of the clerks." Repeating and mutilation of ballots were common. Hall said he had turned over all evidence discovered in the recount to Prosecutor William H. Remy for investigation. o — * NEWS FROM MAGLEY * The ice cream social at Magley, Saturday night, was well attended. The male quartette of the Magley Reformed church rendered several songs.
