Colder Weather Is ' ; Forecast In Stale Locally Heavy Rain i Recorded In State ? United Press International J Locally heavy rain splattered Indiana today and forecasts called ' J for showers to continue until . “much weather pushes , I mild temperatures out of the state -by late Tuesday. i Crawfordsville recorded nearly , - three inches of precipitation up to J ■ 7 a.m. today—2.B6 inches to be I exact—and Indianapolis had 1.21, ‘ . Shoals 1.09, Terre Haute 1.01, , i Bloomington .97. Noblesville .93. ’ Fort Wayne .75, Portland .70, Muncie .63, Monticello .48 and Wabash .56. South Bend and Evansville at the state's extreme ends had less than one-tenth of an inch. . 'Die forecast called for showers . today and showers and thunder- , storms tonight and Tuesday. Brisk > winds Tuesday will usher in coni siderably colder weather by eve- . ning, and Wednesday will be t partly cloudy and “much colder.” , Temperatures, meanwhile, stayI ed on the unusually warm side. . Highs Sunday ranged from 63 at Fort Wayne. to 74 at Evansville. During the night they dropped EX-STATE 1 (Continued from page one) ' and William Sayer. Smith began his career with the 1 highway department at the age ' of 19 as a pick and shovel Worker, and advanced in a 25-year span as truck driver, grader man, mechanic, bookkeeper and district supervisor, to the chairmanship. The first series of highway trials brought a conviction and prison term for Smith on charges of conspiracy to embezzle public funds in sale and re-sale of backlots along the Madison Avenue Expressway. Smith’s attorney for that trial was Frank A. Symmes, who still is handling an appeal of the first conviction to the Indiana Supreme Court. Currently, Symmes has obtained a delay which postpones until Feb. 15 the date a transcript of the lower court case must be filed with the state’s top court. For this trial Smith will be represented by a Greensburg attorney, Frank Hamilton. Star witness of the second Smith trial is slated to be Mogil--ner, who was state witness against his former friends, Sayer and Sherwood. Both were convicted and sentenced to 2 to 14 years in prison for bribery while Mogilner was given a suspended sentence last July. Like Smith. Sayer and Sherwood appealed their convictions and none has yet gone to jail. In addition to Mogilner, who told of paying nearly $40,000 in bribes to Smith, the prosecution expects to call Cecil P. McDonough, former purchasing director of the highway department, William H. Sorrell, former highway commissioner, and Lloyd E. Poindexter, former superintendent of maintenance, now a highway district supervisor. McDonough is under indictment on bribery charges as a result of statements Mogilner made during the Sayer-Sherwood trial. In addition to charges concerning the Madison Avenue Expressway and the purchase of supplies and equipment from Mogilner, another set of indictments was returned against three international officers of the Carpenters’ Union in connection with highway right of way transactions in Lake and Wayne Counties.
