A similar stand was taken by Elkhart prosecutor Charles ' Hughes, who filesl "common gatpbler’’ affidavits against purchasers of federal stamps in that county. Governor Schricker told the proof his concern about "lawlessnese and indifference” in the state. He said he worries more about that than about communism. The governor pointed his remarks at “our own people who pretend to be numbered among the good people of M>ur state.” Schricker also r praised prosecutors for helping ’ carry out his recent statewide slot machine ban., r, 1 ' Georgia Marble Vase i Is Reported Stolen i ( George Wemhoff reported to pol lice today the theft of a Georgia i marble vase from the Wemhoff t Monumental Works on Monroe . street..

At last, in March of 1950, his long fight bore fruit. Indiana Gov. Henry Schricker commuted his life sentence, thus paving the way for his release which came, a few s weeks later on parole. Five months later. Indiana authorities announced that Stephen- b son was wanted as a parole violator. He had left ill, whe*e he worked in 'the advertising business. He skipped without permission. / j{e was captured later in Minneapolis,. Minn., and he began another fight to prevent his extradition to Indiana to resume serying his sentence.

I intend to return to'lndiana and let justice take its course.” Yesterday, nattily dressed bnt with a hint of sadness, he was rer turned to the Hoosier state wsere he gained and lost so much. • j The officers who accompanied , him said he seemed strangely happy.
