! chieftain. I Mayor Alban Smith, attorney for Stephenson, said a petition for a writ of error is possible In the ease but be indicated he is not ! ready to tifce that step. Smith had been quoted as laying he would attempt to gain a I parole for Stephenson In view of I ’ i e s', ement bf Thurman A. Gottschalk, state public welfare directir, that "prisons are for teform, not punishment” Gottschalk reportedly made the statement after the parole of Virgil Kirkland, 26. convicted slayer of Arlene Draves. Gary, from the state reformatory last week. The ' parole provoked wide spread criti- j ciam from principals in the famed

i "prohibition era” party slaying. |< “While I am Interested in the outcome of the Kirkland case, and i ; more Interested in getting my < (client out of prison, I still don’t see i a good comparison, in legal stand- 1 j Ing. In the two cases ' "In the first place,” Smith said, I I "the charges on which Stephenson < •and Kirkland were convicted are : ' vastly different. "Secondly, the clemency commission recently established a rule that 15 years in prison would be required before a life-term prisoner could obtain clemency.” Stephenson's prosecution and conviction for the murder of i Madge Obserholtxer 12 years ago ' brought a violent eruption in Indiana political circles. The klan chieftain charged he was "railroaded” to prison and threatened dis- • closures which would "break Hoosier political leaders. Three Marlon county grand Jur- ' ies investigated alleged corruption during a political scandal which | reached its peak in the 1926 campaign. Records Stephenson had kept resulted in indictment of 1 former Gov. Ed Jackson and Mar 1 ion county Republican leaders. The statute of limitations prevented prosecution, however. Stephenson has made repeated efforts to gain his freedom but each has proven unsuccessful. —• DECATUR WOMEN (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ON*). ‘ fourth district birthday party to ' be held at the Marion hospital on September 9, all veterans whose i birthdays appear in September being honored at the event. o ANOTHER SUIT (CONTINUED FROM r-AG> ON»)_ I suit of the other crash named both j the railroad and the city cd Decatur as defendants, today's cult. filed by D.
