Stephenson's attempt to obtain freedom from the state prison through Laforte circuit court, was issued to-i day by the state supreme court. The court set Dec. 2 for hear- 1 Ing arguments on whether the writ shall be made permanent. The writ was issued on petition of Attorney General Philip Lutz. Jr., and Ed warn Barce, deputy attorney general, in behalf of Louis C. Kunkel, warden oi the state prison. Charging that Judge Wirt Wordm of LaPorte circuit court is invading jurisdiction of the state supreme tribunal, the state's attorneys asked that he be restrainjd from acting further, in the formar Ku Klux Klan leader's habeas , corpus petition. Judge Worden recently overruled the state’s motion to quash Stephenson's petition and was scheduled to rule tomorrow on the state's request for a change of Judge. Petition for the writ of prohibition. presented to the supreme court secretly late Monday, charged that by considering Stephenson's petition, Judge Worden is nullifying two competent judgments in the klan leader’s conviction on the charge of murdering Miss Madge Oberholtzer, Indianapolis, in 1925. Lutz pointed out that the supreme court already has upheld the Hamilton circuit court u..0-tion tion and a LaPorte circuit court denial of a petition for habeas corpus. i “Unless Judge Worden is restrained he will usurp jurisdiction of the supreme court and retry the entire murder case,” the attorney I general charged. “The Hamilton and LaPorte circuit courts are of equal authority and neither has authority to re- . view the acts of the other. Attempt to do so marks an attempt ’ to assume authority vested with I the supreme court.”

The nation has wrought, partly through a series of national legislative enactments and partly through individual efforts of citizens, an Infinitely sounder econ-| , omic machine than ihat which colI lapsed a few years ago. “The president Is t'o be praised land not criticized In his efforts to subsidize humanity, giving it exactly what it deserves in the way of poor relfbf, unemployment protection and at the same time placing business on a sound basis.” FAMOUS DRAKE i CASE IN COURT Government Prosecuting Alleged Fraud In Famous Estate Case Chicago, Nov. 21 — (U.R) —The clipped speech of a Chicago detective was used by the federal gov-1 eminent today in blasting the web of 16th century glamour which it claims 41 defendants in the Drake estate main fraud case spun around unsuspecting middle western investors. A far ciy from the romantic days when Sir Francis Drake and his Golden Hind roamed the seas . in quest of Spanish gold, the scene today shifted back to April of this year when members of the ; Chicago police force raided the headquarters of the Sir Francis Drake estate. James Zegar, the policeman assigned to investigate the case, was rece.'led ‘o the stand. It was Zegar’s findings which 'aunehed this second government attack on the Drake estate promoters. The first was concluded . ; in 1933 at Sioux City, la., when Oscar Hartzell, brains of the organization, was sentenced to 16 years in the federal prison at > Leavenworth, Kan., for using the mails to defraud. The present case is a continuation of the same charge. Zcgar's testimony continued ■long tiie lines followed yesterday when he told of posing as a nephew of a Drake estate investor i \nd visiting the Chicago headquarters. He was informed, he said, that before the end of April, 1935, the Drake estate promoters would close their books and that the first of fabulous payments to investors could lie expected soon. A police raid followed and four of the present defendants, along ■vith their records, were seized. The four were Otto Y'ant, Joseph Hauber, whom the state claims pcsed as a federal agent. Lester Ohmart, and Delmer C. Short. A ifth man, James Kiikendahl, -ince has died. Zegar's testimony today wvallowed by similar evidence preented by Lieut. Edward Kelly. Zegar’s immediate superior. Waler Johnson, postal inspector in charge of the investigation, and Morris Meyers, assistant state's attorney, who was present in Kelly's office when the prisoners and records were examined. While the government’s case is based on a charge of using the mails to defraud. prosecutors -laim that even the verbal claims made by Hartzell and his companions were enough to warrant prosecution. The government claims that donations acquired in this way total more than $1,350,000. More than $500,000 of it, they claim, has been collected since Hartzell's first conviction in 1933. Hartzell's claim on the Drake estate was based on his contention. the.t the famous English buccaneer had a son by a former marriage which apparently was not recognized by relatives. The estate went to a brother of the pirate instead of to his son. he claimed, the question of payment depending only on how- long it would take to convince the English government that the cla.iin was valid. 0 I More Strict License Provisions Ordered Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 21—(UP) More strict licensing provisions were ordered today by the Indiana ttatfe Pharmacy hoard to curtail establishment of “synthetic” drug vjtes operated principally to sell liquor. “The action is not aimed at legitimate liquor stores nor at drug ■totes selling liquor properly,” Edtar A. O’Harrow, Bloomington, president of the board, explained. “More stringent pt ©visions were teeded to curtail store? advertised as drug stores but not equipped to j operate," O'Harrow said. The new rules provide that stores must have "necessary equipment for dispensing and connpounding prescriptions, and the drug stock mist include cointnonly used chemi--als, drugs and preparations.”
