BEECH GROVE BANK ROBBER IS SENTENCED Clint Shaw Pleads Guilty to Charges of Manslaughter and Robbery. WAS STATE WITNESS Clint Shaw. alias Clint Sims, 20, toil; j pleaded guilty in the Marion County Criminal Court to a charge of manslaughter and also admitted his participation in the Beech GroTe State bank robbery. Shaw was sentenced from two to twenty-one years at the Indiana State Reformatory on a manslaughter charge and from two to fourteen years for his part in the bank robbery. On Oct. 16, 1020, Shaw, under the name of “Sims,” was indicted on a manslaughter charge following the death of Charles P. Jacobs, 13, after “Sims’ ’ automobile struck the boy. This charge was pending in the Criminal Court at the time of the Beech Grove State Bank robbery, and "Sims” was out on bond. Both sentences will be served concurrently. Shaw turned State’s evidence in the case against George W. Miller, one of the bank bandits, and gave valuable information to Special Investigator Claud* Worley which resulted in the indictment of Glenn Stout, Miller and others who are alleged to have taken part in the bank robbery. After Shaw was sentenced Mr. Worley announced Shaw, as well as Stout, had signed important new statements regarding the disposition of some of the $23,060 loot in cash and bonds stolen from the bank. “I cannot make public at this time the contents of the last two statements of Show and Stout,” Mr. Worley said. It is understood civil action may be taken to recover some of the money. N.Y. CONTRACTOR WOULD INITIATE HOME BUILDING Suggests Plan to Relieve Depressed Business Conditions.

“Two birds can be killed with one stone if contractors and builders will immediately start a general campaign of home building,” Richard Swinburne, one of the largest construction men in New Tork City, advises contractors, builders, and building trades unions, in a communication received by the Marion County Building Trades Council. His statement continues in this manner: “By a comprehensive program of home building the housing problem, which has troubled the Nation for several years, could be solved, and likewise the increase in industry caused by the building would tend to alleviate the conditions of Unemployment. “There can be no doubt—and figures have been complied to prove it—that a large number of houses are necessary throughout the country. There Is scarcely a city, town or hamlet which has not suffereff from the lack of proper housing facilities. This lack has caused considerable unrest. It has, by keeping the cost of rentals up, aided in maintaining the high cost of living. These things are not good for the people and are not good for the country. The only logical way to relieve the situation is by building. "If we build homes, we will necessarily increase the number of men and women employed. There is perhaps greater unemployment in the various building crafts than in any other business. It is highly desirable that this unemployment be alleviated. If contractors and builders generally entered into the spirit of a home building campaign, there Is no telling the number of persons they could employ, and employ at good wages. Thus, by such a building campaign we solve two problems—the housing problem and the unemployment problem. And they are two questions of such great national importance that it Is to the interest of the whole country to solve them immediately.” TRAIN DERAILED NEAR MILWAUKEE Passengers Aboard 'Pacific Flyer* Shaken L*p.
