Conviction Os Peak Upheld

INDIANAPOLIS (UPD - The Indiana Supreme Court today affirmed the false notarization conviction of Milan attorney Robert Peak in the Indiana highway scandals. ~ t . It was the first time the high court has affirmed a conviction in the Hoosier highway scandal trials, a series which started in 1957 and resulted in prison terms for six men. ; ; The high court issued a 2-to-l decision. Peak was sentenced in Marion Criminal Court on April 7 1958, to 1 to 3 years in prison and fined 11.000 for falsely attesting acknowledgement of the fake “Dean Burton” signature on a deed to two Madison Ave. Expressway back lots in Indian , a polis. May Ask Rehearing _ Barring further appeal, Peak could become the first of the Hoosier highway scandal defendants to actually serve a sentence. However, he has 20 days in which to file for a rehearing if his attorneys so elect. The lone dissenter to the majority opinion was Justice Arch N. Bobbitt. His dissent was based on technicalities. -Bobbitt said Peak was not afforded a fair trial because he was indicted on one - charge—falsely acknowledging execution of a deed before him as a - notary public-but convicted on evidence which might sustain a conviction for conspiracy to defraud the state. However, Chief Justice Norman Arterburn’s majority opinion said Peak’s contention was not legitimate that there was no fraud m his notarization of the ‘P ean ton” name rather than that of'former highway chairman Virgil (Red) Smith. "The use of fictitious names is not to be encouraged by the courts,” the opinion, concurred to bv Justices Harold Achor and Frederick tandiS, said. “It lends itself too readily to fraud by reason of concealment Involved and thus is too likely to be used against a public interest or a private interest. Peak “Not Naive” “The average person views with suspicion any use of, a name. If it involved a public official as Peak well knew to this case, who is dealing to with this persons offigl«! duties as highway commissar, there is every reason to

"I have no brakes, no air, no horn, no speedometer and no nothing. Tudor quoted him as saying. Kerstein was hospitalized but was not reported in critical condition. In addition to the baggage car and the passenger-baggage car the train had three passenger coaches, three sleeping cars and a mail car, and was hauled by three imall diesel units.

conclude the motive is not in the public interest. Such concealment cannot be condoned or approved.’ The opinion said Peak was not “so naive as an attorney as not to suspect the illegality involved in the use of the fictitious name.” The high court made a point of Peak’s and Smith’s long acquaintanceship as fellow residents of Milan, a small town to southeastern Indiana. "He (Peak) knew Virgil Smith was married,” the opinion said, "yet Peak prepared the deed and acknowledgement which stated that ‘Dean Burton’ was an unmarried man.” The false notarization conviction was Peak’s second. He also' was convicted in 1957 on charges of conspiracy to embezzle public funds and was sentenced to 2 to 14 years imprisonment and fined $2,500. Peak also appealed this. Other appeals are pending by Smith on two embezzlement conspiracy and bribery convictions, by former Indiana Adj. Gen. Elmer W.. Sherwood on a bribery conviction, by fortoer state official William E. Sayer on a bribery conviction, and by Austin housemover Marvin Preble on a false claim filing conviction All four were sentenced to 2 to 14 year terms but none has served any time yet . ‘ ~ } Heart Massage Fails i To Save Girl's Life WABASH, Indi (UPD — Miss Patricia Ann Duncan, 17, R-R.

i . 4 One Os Slurgill Brothers Escapes The three-state search for the two young southerners, who walk- • ed out of the Wells county jail Sun- ■ day, continues with added vigor to- • day. I One of the escapees. BiUy James ' Sturgill. 21, of Pednington Gap. Va., formerly resided with his still . confined brother in a Decatur apartment house. Donnie DeWayne Sturgill, the 24-yaar-old brother of the escapee, did not join the pair in the break. Walk Out Unmolested Sheriff Ray Durr of Wells county said that Sturgill and William Ray Chadwick, 22, of Wallins Creek. Ky., apparently pried open a dumb waiter, and inched their way up to the third floor, where they walked down the three flights of stairs . and out the front door. Two other prisoners also did not join the escape. The Sturgills, who had been apprehended by F. 8.1. agents and Virginia state police near their home, were scheduled to appear on the auto banditry charge Feb. 1 before Judge Homer E. Byrd in connection with the Nov. 4, shooting of Howard Vaughn, 26, formerly of route 4, Bluffton. Vaughn was slightly wounded by the shotgun blast, and since his recovery has moved to Peru. He was shot outside a Bluffton teenage hangout. Sheriff Durr said that he believed Vaughn had been mistaken for another Bluffton resident, a cousin of the Sturgills. No statement has been made by the Sturgills since their return to Indiana by state police detective Walter Schindler, of Berne. Sturgill Reports Break The break was reported by the elder Sturgill youth to sheriff Durr when he returned from covering an accident report. Chadwick has been in jail since Dec. 28 on charges of public intoxication and driving a car without a license. He told sheriff Durr that he was wanted in Kentucky on a shooting investigation. No word has been received from Harlan county, Ky„ however. Advertising Index Advertiser ... .

Congress Plunges Down To Business

WASHINGTON (UPD - The second session of the 86th Congress.. plunged today into its first full working week with early skirmishing on two major battlefronts — civil rights and missilespace spending. Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R-N.Y.) announced he would introduce today a package of five civil rights bills, including one calling for appointment of federal registrars to assure voting rights. Senate Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen (Ill.) promptly predicted that the registrars proposal would become one of the “controversial” issues of the’ new session which convened Wednesday. , _ On the missile-space issue, Rep. Overton Brooks (D-La.) charged that the administration's program was clouded by "duplication, rivalry and indecision.” He planned to announce today a witness list for House Space Committee Investigation starting next Monday.

Stuart Symington (D-Mo), a Democratic presidential prospect, accused President Eisenhower Sunday night of giving the people mistaken information about the status of the defense and —r ’ ‘--fT • • i

Other congressional developments: • — Assistant Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield (Mont.) urged the State Department to lodge a strong protest against Russia's" "arrogant” plan to test a powerful new rocket in the central Pacific. Sens. J.

Albert Gore (D-Tenn.) proposed that the Senate Democratic Policy Committee be expanded from 9 to 15 members to better reflect overall party sentiment on key issues. _ —Dirksen conceded that ‘ Eisen- s bower’s forecast of a $4,200,000.000 budget surplus for the next fiscal year would be a “terrible tempatation and frightful lure’’ to big speeding advocates. Other sources said spending this year is running $500,000,000 below expectations and the President believes chances for a general tax cut in 1961 are strong. » ' '*■ ae • , X

Annual Report Made By County Recorder ' The annual report from the Arinina county rctwli-r'i office from Mr* Mabel Striker showed that S.OM instruments were recorded I during I9M at her office with 85.025 M being collected Over a trmyesr i*rlod. the 19M; figure la the second low In num* bet of instruments filed, but third high for total amount of money collected for the county. Mr* | Striker gave the reason for the low | amount a* the insurance on chattel | mortgages. By insuring these mortgages at almost the same price a* I a . recording. the same amount ofi protection is given. She cited asi an example the 1952 figure of chattel mortgages filed at her office as 1.4H7 and the 1959 figure was, 853. .. . Instrument Breakdown A breakdown of the year’s total recordings shows marginal releases topping the list with 923 and chattel mortgages second. Others are deeds. 679; mortgages. 497; -J2JOUS. 396; releases. 317; reporta of separation. 41; articles of incorporation, 23; plats, 21; mechanics liens. 21; old age assistances, IS; assignments. 14; honorable discharges. 12; official bonds since July 1. 8. and powers of attorney, 4. In the statistical report, an estimated amount of money involved in the manipulation of instruments shows city deeds. 355, were valued at 8197.038. while 324 farm deeds were valued at $421,211. for the 679 total and $628,249. Os this total 318 city deeds were one-dollar considerations, and 276 of the farm total were likewise. City Mortgages Lead Os the mortgages filed, 233. which were valued at $2,220,515 were of farm land. City mortgages totalled 262 for an estimated $2,077,920. Two school fund mortgages totalled $4,200. The 21 liens amounted to $12,661, while the 853 chattel mortgages were totaled at $8 068.466. A total of 1,134 satisfactions, those mortgages, and liens that are paid off, resulted in $3,412,084. The total mortgages and liens amounted to 1,371 for $12,383,762. A ten-year comparison of instruments filed shows an increased tendency for less to be filed for a larger amount of money. In 1958, which was generally regarded by most economical observers as a recession, the trend, of course, was broken. But this is not a true indicator of the general trend.

Ike Receives Nikita Note

WASHINGTON (U^D— President Eisenhower today received a “good will message” from Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev. The oral message was delivered to the President by Soviet Ambassador Mikhail Menshikov during a 20-minute White House conference. “I brought a good will message from Chairman Khrushchev to the President and also conveyed Mr. Khrushchev’s New Year greetings and best wishes to the President and all his family,” Menshikov said as he left the White House. Menshikov said the planned Russian use of a large area of the Pacific Ocean as a Russian missile target area was not discussed “at all.” He said there was some mention, however, of Eisenhower’s planned trip to the Soviet Union this year. "It was mentioned that it is going to take place and that necessary arrangements soon will be made,” the envoy told reporters. Asked if he took up with Eisenhower the question of Russia s payment of lend-lease obligations to the United States, Menshikov said “That is what we're going to discuss this afternoon.’ This was a reference to a conference scheduled at the State Depart ment. Under repeated questioning, Menshikov insisted that his mes-
