Attack Indictment | Returned On Connie | INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Filing of a brief attacking the indictment j which charged Mrs. Connie Nich- g olas with slaying Forrest Teel is £ expected to delay her return to g prison for at least another month, s Mrs. Nicholas, charged with g first degree murder in the July 1 31, 1958 death of her married S lover, a wealthy pharmaceutical 8 executive, was convicted April 18 & on manslaughter charges and sen- B fenced to 2-21 years in prison. The brief filed by two attorneys late Monday with the Indiana Supreme Court alleges that “the indictment does not state the offense charged with sufficient certainty.” ' The brief concentrates upon the omission of the word "gunpowder” from the description of the death weappn.. “There is no legal definition that makes a bullet capable of being propelled without the necessary ingredient of gunpowder,” the attorneys claimed. “A bullet carfnot be impelled from a revolver by its own motive power.” Attorneys Geroge Popcheff and Marvin A. Poore indictated there is a chance the case may be carried to the U.S. Supreme Court, should the state’s high court turn down their appeal The state has 10 days in which to reply to the brief, and the defense has another 20 days after the court's decision in which to seek a rehearing. Dunkirk Election Is Still Muddled The Dunkirk city election still 1 remains in a muddle, as the re- > S count commission, counting only' ! four of the five precincts, found that Republican Richard A. Overmeyer carried those precincts by three votes, while the Democrats contend that C. Wayne Hobson is elected by six votes, because the carried the fifth precinct, not counted, by nine votes. The commission could count only those votes cast in the four Jay county precincts, the fifth, being in Blackford county, not, having been covered by the Jay; circuit court order. Judge Burl Whiteman told the commission to count only those ballots which it had. He has not yet ruled on the report of the commission, the disputed ballots, or the certification of the mayor. . LUTHERAN Continued from pa<V nounced by the angel Grabriel and and whom mankind has since bowed in homage as to no other. ‘‘This birth has cut history in two, so that every date before and after now bears the label B. C. or A. B.” Rev. Ludwig went on to tell how ) some doubted, but doubt is more I absurd than belief. “ ‘I know not | how the Bethlehem’s Babe Could S in the Godhead be, I only know | the Manger Child has brought God’s love to me'.” In conclusion, he stated that through the niceties of bulbs, trees, decorations, and presents, may we hear these good tidings at great joy clearly ringing out our peace again this Christmas.
