Stephenson Return To Prison Delayed Habeas Corpus Writ Is Sought In Case Noblesville. Ind. April 5 (UP» Hasty legal maneuvers which stymied the execution of a court i order sending D. <’. Htephenaoit back to Indiana's state prison assured him of at least an additional 12 days in Hamilton county Jail here and another try for freedom. Special judge Cleon .Mount yesterday overruled the former Kn Klttx Klan leader's request for a rehearing of his motion for a new trial. But quick action by .Stephensott prevented state ofllt lais from returning him to the Michigan state prison to resume a liftsentence. He was convicted In 1925 of the murder of Miss Madge Oberltoltzcr of Indianapolis. After Mount hail indicated In a morning session that the case was "closed." Stephenson returned to j court in the afternoon ami filed I j habeas corpus proceedings with I Hamilton circuit Judge Cassia M ; | Gentry. H« charged he was "Illegally Im- | prisoned." Stepheimon said he I should have been tried 2-» years ago on either first degree- murder or manslaughter charge’, rather than second degree murder. Judge Gentry Immediately laailed an order directing sheriff George C. Michelfelder to hold Stephenson here until April 17. A hearing on the habeas corpus proteetiings was scheduled for that tlay. The now ,-ictlon was the 41st attempt by Stephenson to gain freedom. It thwarted strenuous efforts by assistant attorney general Frank E Coughlin to send him I to prison yesterday. Coughlin hail advised prison authorities to come and get the former klansman. A prison guard a-rived in Noblesville shortly after the habeas corpus action was filed. Stephenson chargetl the "frenzied haste" of the state to remove him to prison was prompted hy "a Jittery fear on the part of the Ku Kltix Kian political bos* of Indiana. Robert W. Lyons." Stephenson has been in jail here for 13 months while awaiting results of his latest freedom attempt.
