C. j Stephenson, former Indiana Ku j I Klux Klan dragon, which he hopes . will liberate him from finishing a j ’ life term In the Michigan City | state prison for the murder of an ' Indianapolis woman, was delayed ' 1 in Hamilton circuit court today. Judge Cassius M. Gentry said 'that hearing on the writ of error eoram nobis petition probably will! i not come before the court until i the April term.

The petition alleges that Stephenson. convicted of first degree murder In connection wtih the death of Madge Oberholzer, a former statehouse employe, did not | testify In his own behalf at his , first trial in 1925 because of threatened violence. The hearing originally was scheduled for yesterday. Since the state intends to introduce no new evidence it has requested that the case be conductjed by Will M Sparks of the U. S. I circuit court of appeals in Chicago. I who presided at the first trial. He I was then circuit court judge at ■ Rushville. I Tn his petition Stephenson con-1 , tends that members of the klan had intimidated him at his trial and he decided not to testify because he feared for his life. MRS.
