MACHINE GUNS USED FREELY IN BELFAST RIOTS Three Killed, 30 Wounded in Disorders Throughout Ulster. CHILD BOMB VICTIM LONDON, March 6.—The Irish provisional government at Dublin has given assurances to the British government it is capable of dealing with the revolting members of Limerick and Tipperay battalions of the Irish Republican Army in Colonial Secretary Winston Churchill announced In the House of Commons this afternoon. Four hundred recalcitrant members of the Irish Republican Army are threatening to take possession of the military barracks in Limerick and a clash with loyal troops is threatened, according to a Limeriek dispatch to the Star. BELFAST, March 6.—Violent disorders in which three persons were killed atd more than thirty wounded, raged in Belfast and elsewhere in Ulster throughout the week-end. Bombs were thrown, armed mobs patrolled the streets and snipers were firing continuously. The soldiers and police used machine guns against the rioters. Three men were shot during a clash between civilians and police in County Tyrone. A child was wounded In Grosvenor Road, Belfast, by a bomb at noon. This was the latest of a long list of child victims. ARMED FACTIONS HOLD PARTS OF LIMERICK LIMERICK, March 6.—Armed troops of three opposing factions in Ireland were In possession of different parts of the city today and fears of an outbreak kept citizens in a state of anxiety. Reports were rebellious army troops numbering between three and four hundred entered Limerick yesterday and commandeered the leading hotels and railway station. It was announc'd they had come to enforce the recent proclamation of the Mid-Limerick blrgade of the I. R. A. repudiating the authority of the Free State and pledging allegiance to the republic. One hundred and forty troops of the Free State, under direction of the provisional government, were here to take over the military barracks, which a considerable force of British troops and auxiliaries was preparlrg to evucuate. With the arrival of the rebels, the British commander ordered out his four armored cars and sent troops to patrol the streets In event of trouble. The Free State trope patrolled in the neighborhood of their billets, but made no effort to interfere with the general policing of the town. Beyond seizing the hotels for nse as billets, the rebellions I. R. A. intruders made no hostile move. It was believed their intentions to attempt to take control of the town as soon as the British evacuated. The British, it was reported, were inclined to continue their evacuation and let the opposing Irish factions decide the issue between themselves, but the British commander announced he would be responsible for order until that time. The Free State troops, while not fraternizing, have been on good terms with the retiring British, but the newcomers were some of the wild lads from Cork, Clare and Limerick Counties who have been among the most savage fighters against "enemy occupation.” Vesuvius Still in of Eruption NAPLES. March 6.—The eruption of the to l anoe Mt. Vesuvius, after an earthquake shock showed no signs of abating today. Smoke and lava were still belching from the crater. A young American novelist descended Into the crater after the earth shock and escaped uninjured. Itirector Malladga of Vesuvius observatory also descended into the crater to view the Inferno and received slight burns.

SIPE BLOCKS MOVE TO GET AT EVIDENCE (Continued From Page One.) that question. I am willing to answer any questions regarding any matters on the list of property turned over to the bonding company. I want to do the right thing here, but I think I will not answer.” There was no reference in the list of holdings turned over to the county auditor of property now in the hands of the bonding company, which had any reference to any purchase of stock in the Hamilton-Harris company. Sipe denied he had borrowed any money from Lucius B. Hamilton or any member of the firm. Under oath and in public court, Sipe admitted that he understood that his shortage would reach $140,000 but estimated the value of his securities turned over to the trust compauy as being of a value of about $70,000. “It will depend on how the stock is handled,” Mr. Sipe explained in ilxing the probable value at $70,000. He admitted that he drew large sums of money from the bank and admitted transactions indicated on the list of property turned over to the bonding company. He declared that at the present time he had no bank account nor any funds. He said there were a “few odds and ends” which he had not turned over to the bonding company. He said that there was one note for $5,000 which he had not turned over. He refused to state to whom the money was loaned. He declared he had turned over all of his property and assets In an effort to square his accounts.

DECLINES TO GO INTO DETAILS. He refused to go into detail concerning the receiving of $5,000 In a check which he, as clerk, was obligated to turn over to Mrs. Parrish, the plaintiff in the suit. He admitted as far as he knew she had not received the morey. He admitted in an wer to a question of Mr. Schlosser regarding a ”$1,500 transaction” that such a trausaetlon took place, but refused to give details. Schlosser asked, “When you made sales of your stock, you put the money back into the clerk's office?” "Yes, I did,’’ Sipe answered. Sipe admitted loaning $8,700 to the Pivot City Realty Company, but did not go into details. Following Sipe’s testimony, he was returned to Jail by Sheriff George Snider. Attorneys on both side stated their positions In the receivership matter before Sipe testified. He sat in the courtroom hearing the statements of counsel concerning his misuse of fuuds. Judge Robert Dalton, Judge pro tem. overruled a motion of Attorney Charles W. Moores to strike the petition for a receiver from the files. The hearing was resumed after the noon recess. County Clerk George V. Coffin today was making an effort to collect sums of money ranging from SIOO to $5,000. If parties owing Sipe do not pay up or return the stocks they hold, Mr. Coffin states he Intends to file replevin suits. CLERK TO SEE BONDING COMPANT. The county clerk also will file suit soon against the bonding company on the official bond of Sipe for SIOO,OOO, Attorney Schuyler Haas stated today. Demand has been made by the county clerk upon the bonding company to turn over all stocks and money to the clerk, but the bonding company has not met the demand. Frank Childers chief deputy to Mr. Coffin, stated at noon today that SSOO has been received from a representative of William H. Armttage, who is the chairman of the executive com rittee of the Marion County Republican League. Mr. Sipe made a contribution of SSOO as a campaign fund. This was turned over to Mr. Armitage, who gave it to Jesse E. Miller, treasurer of the league, It Is stated. The money Is now back In the hands of the county clerk. Judge Collins Instructed the Jury to Investigate "all facts and circumstancer. surrounding the alleged misuse of funds” and to determine what persons, firms or corporations received money from Sipe. Judge Colling Impressed on the grand Jury that they are under oath to do their duty in the case and insisted that they spare no one. He told them to inquire diligently into misappropriations, conspiracies and methods of keeping the records in the clerk's office. He Informed them that examiners of the board of accounts will give them all the assistance necessary. County Clerk George V. Coffin announced he expected to receive money In amounts ranging up to $5,000 from persens who obtained loans from Sipe. Judge Collins instructed the grand Jury as follows: To the foreman and members of the grand Jury of Marion County: The statutes of Indiana make it the duty of the court to call you together from time to time during the term and to give you sir'll information and such additional instructions as it may deem proper in relation to any charges and crimes returned into court or Jikely to come before the grand Jury. Under the inst rue; ions heretofore given you were Instructed among other things to inquire, “into wilful and corrupt misconduct in office of public officers of every description.” It becames my duty now to direct your attention to the facts that on the 28th day of February, 1922. Richard V. Sipe, the duly elected, qualified and acting clerk of Marlon Circuit Court, tendered his resignation to the board of county commissioners of Marion County, which resignation was accepted and his successor appointed. I further direct your attention to the fact that on the day following his resignation an clerk of the Marion Circuit Court an affidavit was filed In the Marlon Criminal Court charging said Richard V. Sipe, clerk of the Marion Circuit Court, with the embezzlement of five thousand dollars ($5,000) ; that he was immediately placed under arrest and, upon his failure so give bond, was im prisoned in the Marion County jail and Is now in said jail in the custody of the sheriff of Marion County. • 100,000 SHORTAGE ALLEGED TO EXIST. Through admissions to officers of Marion County and statements in the public press a shortage of more than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) is alleged to exist in the off ce of the clerk of the Marion Circuit Court. Under the statutes of Indiana, the clerk of the Circuit Court also is clerk of the Superior, Criminal, Probate and Juvenile Courts. Such clerk is required to give bond with surety as required by law In a penal sum fixed by the board of county commissioners and approved by the board of county commissioners for the faithful discharge of the duties of his office and the payment to the proper person or persons of all monies that may come into his hands as such clerk. The statutes further provide the clerk of the Circuit Court Is authorized to receive money in payment of all judgments, dues and demands of record in his office, and all such funds as may be or’dered to be paid into Court by the Judges thereof; and such clerk with his surety shall be liable on his official bond for all money so received by said clerk and paid into such courts under the orders of the pudges therof, to any persons who may bo entitled to demand and receive such money or funds from him.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, MARCH 6, 1922.

HARTMAN CASE TO GO TO JURY BY 6 O’CLOCK (Continued From Page One.) contradictory and were untrustworthy. Ho laid great stress on the fact that Hartman, while a candidate for city judge, was associating with men who turned out to be burglars and thieves, and Insisted that he was “tarred with the same brush." He made little reference of Francis, seemingly not caring to depend too muh upon the evidence of the confessing burglar, but instate*. it had been fully substantiated in its important points by other witnesses, Mr. Holmes wasted no time In his argument in placing the blame for the prosecution at the door of the Indianapolis j News. ! “I am at a loss to know, from the remarks of the assistant prosecutor,” he ! sad, “whether this man is being tried for receiving stolen goods, for being a | criminal lawyer or for not being aeceptI able to the Indianapolis News. GentleI men, the reason he is on trial here is because he was a candidate for city judge against the wishes of that nerws- ' paper. RECEIVING CAPE | KNOWINGLY QUESTION, j “The real question here to be decided ! is whether Mr. Hartman received a fur i cape knowing it was stolen, not whethi er he went to Dayton, Ohio, with Franj els and Kunkle, or if ho measures up !to your standards of a city Judge or dared to be a candidate for the office of city Judge. “The dog at the end of the horn listening to his master s voice,’ that Is this ! prosecution. It was brought at the dl- | rection of that perfidious newspaper. He next turned his attention to tho circumstances of Blodgett’s trip to Louisville and tho Francis “confession.” “1 have been going to Jails for twentyfive years to Interview prisoners and never yet have I had a prisoner brought 1 into the office of a board of safety to interview at my leisure, and that is what they did for Blodgett at Louisville. Newspaper reporters visiting Jails to ln- ; terview prisoners usually are not ac--1 corded the courtesies that would be ex- | tended the President of the United States. DECLARES THERE WAS DEAL OF SOME SORT. “There was a deal of some sort In this matter at Louisville and the cards were dealt from tho north side of Washington street, west of Meridian” (the News office is located in this block). This deal kept a warrant, gotten out by Dr. Katterteury, whose home Francis robbed, from being served on Francis when he I came here to testify, j "The influence of that paper, the lu- ' diannpolis News, did that and I think 1 that so far as Chairman Burlingame of j the Louisville board of safety, Captain De Forester of the detective department and Frank Francis are concerned that this deal was one of profit for them. When Detective Frank Elvalna came to Indianapolis to see Hartman's attorneys last November ha came here, I believe, to ree if they had any definite knowledge of where this money caine from and the details of It, in order that he might go back to Lonlsvllle and make them split i wlt’.l him. | “I charge that this prosecution was ! brought about at the behest of Indianapolis News and that it is a political : i rosecutlon. It was brought because : Hartmau dared disagree with its decrees, ! because he became a candidate without ! its consent. But he was only a pawn in the game to get Lew Shank. That Is why a package was laid on Burlingame's desk by Blodgett, why Francis was taken to I)e Forester's office, why De Forester told Francis ’there is a lot in this and only us to split It between.' ” POLICE SCORED BY ATTORNEY. The Indianapolis pelts were not spared by Mr. Holmes. Afler attacking the testimony of Detective William Rugensteln i and the discrepancies between his testimony at the mandamus salt in October end in tho present trial, Mr. Holmes said, referring to attempts made by the State to show Rugensteln was working only on automobile theft cases and not on bootlegging cases: “In this community the police department considers It more Important to arrest bootleggers than a burglar or a murderer. Every day we read of doors being broken down and floors ripped up and half pints and larger quantities of liquor being found, but you never heard of a policeman heating down a door os digging np a floor to catch a burglar. Iu his address to the Jnry Assistant Prosecutor Miller 'spoke of Francis as suffering from tuberculosis and said he doubted if he would live a year. This drew fire from Holmes who said, in his talk : "This man Francis, this king of burglars, made a deal at Louisville whereby he was to be prosecuted for forgery and not for burglarly on condition that he come to Indianapolis and testify here. I never saw any law that says a man shall be tried for burglary unless he Is suffering from tuberculosis or that a warrant shall be served on him for burglary unless ho has the disease. AGREES FRANCIS IS “SOME LIAR." “Iri one respect I believe Blodgett told the truth and that was when he said he beliered Francis was the biggest liar in tho world. Certainly you would not convict a man on the testimony of an arch criminal who had been granted Immunity by tbe authorities of Kentucky and Indiana. And (his prosecution has produced no evidence from any source except from Francis and his wife that Hartman had any knowledge that these goods were stolen." Assistant Prosecutor Miller apologized at the start of his address for Francis. "The State holds no brief for Francis," h-. <-(d “He Is a imd man. a tliief and burglar for many years. Wo admit alt t. out we have corroborated tho testimony given by him to a point where

Thousands of housewives have found that they can aave two-thirda of the money usually spent for cough preparations, by using this wellknown old recipe for making cough syrup. It is simple and cheap but it has no equal for prompt results. It takes right hold of a cojgh and gives immediate relief, usually stopping an orditiary cough in 24 hours or less. Get 2Va ounces of Pirex from any druggist, pour it into a pint bottle, and add plain granulated sugar syrup to make a full pint.

It’s truly astonishing how quickly it acts, penetrating through every afr fiassage of the throat and lungs—oosens nd raises the phlegm, sootnes and heals tho membranes, and gradually but surely thannoying throat tickle and dreaded cough disappear entirely.

you must give his story credence." He attacked Hartman’s testimony and that of his wife severely. “Hartman said ho went out to 2506% North Delaware street where the Francis family was living in response to note on his desk. This note was addressed ‘Lura,’ and was signed ‘Frank.’ There were no last names and no address given. How did he know where to go. Did he just start out looking fer a woman named Lura who knew a man named Frank and comb the city for her 7 "RIDICULOUS AS WELL AS FALSE." “That is ridiculous on the face of it. That was just a start and false one, too. He acted a go-between all the way through for Francis and Kunkle. He even told Mrs. Cornett at the North Delaware street address to pull down the blinds that the police were looking for Moore (Francis). He said he understood Augenstein wanted him for bootlegging. Only a bootieggorl And this is the man who was running for city Judge, a man who would have great deal to do with binding criminal over to the bind Jury. | “He went to Dayton where Francis was charged with carrying concealed weapons. Why shonld he have gone there of there ; was net a common interest between them, if ho was not tarred with the same | stick. “He went to I.ouisville to get his buddy out of trouble. He shield him from trouble all he could. Even Kunkle sent his trunk out to Hartman’s Mlunt street home, the haven of refuge; and Hartman protected them until It got so brazen and rotten that he couldn’t do it any longer. Then he tried to cover up. He Is a man who associated with crooks and who tried to undermine our courts, the only thing that can break up this sort of thing.” Prosecutor Evans planly showed the strain the trial has ben to him. lie would stay in the courtroom a few minutes either at the table or pacing up and down inside the railing; then he wolld go into the Judge’s private room and stay there a few minutes. The nervous strain apparently has had its effect. The State built up Its case around the evidence of Francis and his wife and depended largely upon circumstantial evidence to support it. This evidence took the greater part of a week to present. The defense, on the other hand, placed Hartman on the 6tand and he entered a general denial of all charges against him. His testimony was supported by that of hig wife, Laura Hartman, and her two sisters, Ogla and Mabel Griswold. These four witnesses together with Ira M. Holmes, attorney for Hartman, who took the stand and gave testimony impeaching that of Francis, were tbe principal wittnesses for the defense. It took the defense almost three days to complete Us evidence. , Introduction of evidence came to an

end Saturday afternoon when William H. Blodgett of the Indianapolis News, who obtained the alleged “confession” from Francis at Louisville last fall; William H. De Forester, chief of detectives of the LoulsvUle police department, and Frank Elvaine, formerly a detective on the Louisville police force, took the stand as rebuttal witnesses for the State. At the conclusion of their evidence it was a question whether they had been! of more value to the State or to the I defense. Blodgett denied flatly he had offered any financial inducement or any other kind to Francis to make his confession, or had laid any package, supposed to contain money, on the desk of Chairman Burlingame of the LoulsvUle board of safety, as had been charged by the defense. However, he did admit he has said “Francis is the biggest liar on earth.” Captain De Forester denied any money had been used to obtain the Francis confession or he had told Francis “there Is a lot of money in this for us.” CORROBORATES HOLMES’ TESTIMONY. Elvaine substantiated almost every part of Mr. Holmes’ testimony, except the part referring to the use of money to obtain the Francis confession.
