Stephenson Keeps Up Battle For Freedom i Files Affidavits In Hamilton Court NoblesVHle, Ind., July 31.—(UP) —D. C. Stephenson, convicted of murder in 1925, has charged that he didn’t testify in his own behalf at his trial because he was afraid of mob violence. The former grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan bolstered his theory that he was ‘framed” with the filing of six affidavits in Hamilton circuit court. One was signed by an Indianapolis attorney, Ira Holmes, who assisted with the defense of Stephenson in 1925. Holmes said that he advised the former clansman not to testify for fear of mob action. Four other affidavits pointed out that their signers had heard threats against Stephenson’s life at the time of the trial. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Madge Oberholtzer of Indianapolis. One of the members of the jury which convicted Stephenson also filed an affidavit. Ralph F. Finley said he voted for the guilt of the defendant but was under the ini pression that the sentence was only from two-to-fourteen years. Other affidavits, mentioning threats heard against Stephenson, were signed by William F. Newby, who at the time was a high school boy; Frank M. Wise, a Noblesville business man; Ralph Roudebush, a local painter and decorator, and Harold Beeler, former prosecuting attorney of Hamilton county. Stephenson is now in Hamilton county jail. He is awaiting action by the Indiana supreme court on his retrial petition. Acting as his own attorney, Stephenson is seeking his freedom for the 12th time. The state asks his return to Michigan City state prison pending action on his trial petition. o Democrat Want Ads Get Results MASONIC Called meetings, F. C. degree Tuesday, July 31, 7:30 p.m.; M.
