GRANT COUNTY IN QUANDARY Officials Await Results of Refusal to Obey State Orders. Soeclal to The Times. MARION, Ind, March 7.—County officials today were sitting tight, awaiting word from the State board of accounts, following action of the Grant County cotnmUsioners late Monday In refusing to comply with an order of the State board and disallow a clatiu filed by the superintendent of the poor farm, for pay for f’-bor performed by Inmates. ■"he Suite board has Instructed Field xsminers to charge back to the superintendent all moneys paid out in the past for such labor, and Instructed the commissioners to refuse to approve such claims In the future. The commissioners, however, Monday approved a claim for $155 for Infirmary inmates’ labor, acting on advice of the county attorney. The State board claims Grant County Is the only county In Indiana that pays inmates for labor, and claims such payment is Illegal. The custom has been followed here for the past twenty years and funds for the payment have been appropriated by the county council during that time. HARTMAN, FREE ON ONE COUNT, FACES OTHERS (Continued From Fare On*,) erick Van Keys, who was Cn!ted States district attorney when he Indictments were returned, may be named as special United States attorney, to try the cases as he Is thoroughly familiar with them from beginning to end, while the present district attorney, Homer Elliott, knows about them only through the files In his office and his general knowledge of the case. However, this is a matter which will depend largely upon whether or not Mr. Eillott wishes to handle the cases •mself In the event he decides to push e prosecution. SAYS H.VRTMAX FUXS TO GO WEST. Attorney Ira M. Holmes said, following the return of the verdict, Hartman expects to move to California for residence as soon as all cases now pending agatnvt him here are dlspuosed of. Hartman was acqnltted after the Jury had deliberated one hour and forty minces. The verdict wss returned at 9:10 o’clock to Judge A. M. Bain, of the Morgan Circuit Court, who eat as special Judge In the case. The reading of the verdict wss a signal for a demonstration on the part of spectators, most of whom apparently were sympathizers and friends of the de. fendant. DISPLAYS EMOTION AT VERDICT. With the return of the verdict, the composure which has marked Hartman’s demeanor throughout the trial with the exception of one occasion when he broke down and wept for a few minutes, entirely deserted him. He rose slightly from his chair, then fell on the shoulders of Ira M. Holmes, one of his attorneys, and sobbed. “God bless that Jury I God bless that Jury!” he exclaimed. Mrs. Hartman was far more composed than her husband. As the Jurors left the box, Hartman, still weeping, shook hands with each member. He also shook hands with Judge Bain and thanked him for the fair trial he had received. Twelve ballots were taken by the Jnry before a verdict was reached. The first two ballots stood eight for acquittal and •jur for conviction. On the next three allots the vote was nine to three, and on the sixth ballot another Juror swung over to acquittal. However, the eighth and ninth ballots showed a loss of one for the defense, the vote again standing nine to three for acquittal. The tenth and eleventh found only one juror voting for conviction, and on the twelfth ballot the verdict was reached. CHARGES GREW OUT OF FRANCIS’ CONFESSION. The charges out of which grew the case in Criminal Court were first made by Frank Francis, the confessing burglar, in an alleged “confession’’ at Louisville, late la September last ytar. At the time Francis was under arrest la Louisville charged with forgery and burglary. It has been the contention of Hartman ever since that this “confession” was made on the promise that Francis would be tried only oa tbe forgery Charge and the more serious charge of burglary dropped. The “confession” was made to William H. Blodgett of the Indianapolis News and Ira M. Holmes testified In the trial that Detective Franke Eivaine, at that time a detective on the Louisville police force, told him he had seen Blodgett “lay a packers on the desk of Chairman Burlingame" of the Louisville board of public safety. At all events Oapt. William H. De Forester of the detective department bad Francis brought from Jail to the office of the board of safety where he was interviewed by Blodgett. In this confession Francis charged that Hartman knew the furniture which he ka<f obtained from Francis was stolen, and Sn fact had taken part in planning its theft. He Implicated Hartman In Khar tea ranging from receiving stolen oods and stolen automobiles to violation of the liquor laws. After this a determined effort to force Hartman off the Republican ticket as candidate for city Judge was made by Interests hostile to his candidacy, but he steadfastly refused to resign. On Oct. 11, Francis and his wife Lura were brought here from Louisville by Captain I>e Forester and taken Immediately to tbe Marlon county grand Jury where they remained a long time and gave testimony resulting In the return of the Indictments on which Hartman Is cow under arrest. Late that afternoon Federal authorities unexpectedly took a hand and Mr. ana Mrs. Francis were rrrested on a Federal

warrant Issued by order of Frederick Van Nays, United States district attorney. The next morning they were taken to the office of Mr. Van Nuys, where they remained for an hour and half, and made a signed statement, lhat afternoon they were taken before the Federal grand Jury which happened to bo in session, ana were taken back to Louisville by Captain De Forester shortly afterwards. The next day indictments were returned In Federal Court against J. Herbert Hartman; his wife, Lsra; his brother, Fred; Frank Francis and his wife, Lura; Karl Kunkle and Cecil Williams, and all were arrested and released on bond the day following, Oct. 14. The Indictments were In four counts, and Included violation of the national prohibition law. transportation of stolen automobiles in Interstate traffic, and conspiracy to commit these acts. OTHER CASES PENDING. These cases are cow pending in Federal Court. On Oct. 15. the Marion County grand Jury returned Indictments against Mr. and Mrs. Hartman, Fred Hartman, Mr. and Mrs. Francis, Karl Kunkle and Fred “Doggy” Johnson. These Indictments contained charges of receiving stolen goods, receiving stolen automobiles taken from other States, conspiracy to commit a felony, and entering homes to commit burglary and transporting liquor. Hartman was charged with transporting liquor, receiving stolen goods and receiving stolen automobiles taken In other States, Mrs. Hartman was charged with receiving stolen goods. The present case is based on a charge that Hartman received a fur cape which had been stolen by Francis. HARTMAN REMOVED BY COMMITTEEMEN. About this time after all efforts to force Hartman to resign from the Republican ticket had failed, he was “removed’’ at a harredly called meeting of precinct committeemen, and Delbert O. Wllmeth, who was elected city Judge at the November election, was substituted by the Republican city committee. Hartman brought a mandamus proceedings before Judge Theophllus J. Moll In Superior Court, room 6, to compel the election commissioners to print his name on the official ballot, but Judge Moll, ruled against him after a hotly contested trial. The 'present case went to trial two weeks ago, Feb. 20, in Criminal Court before Judge Murray Bain of Martinsville, Judge of the Morgan Circuit Court, after Hartman had taken a change of venue from Judge James A. Collins.

PLAN TO MAKE VOLSTEAD LAW MORE EFFECTIVE The Volstead act which Is supposed to provide ways and means of enforcement of prohibition “has failed because it exempts nil prohibition enforcement officers from the usual civil service rules,” according to Imogen B. Oakley of Philadelphia, chairman of the civil service division of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs which this winter is concentrating in a very special way on the enforcement of the eighteenth amendment of the Constitution. "The National Civil Service Reform League offers convincing proof that as a result many of these officers, by lack of education and experience, are wholly Incapable and many more are ex-bartend-ers and ex-saloon keepers, w.Uo are opposed to the amendment and its enforcement,” declares Mrs. Oakley. “The civil service division of the general federation has, therefore, joined with the National Civil Service Reform League In sponsoring a bill which Is now before Congress* and which provides that all prohibition enforcement officers shall be put under the usual civil rules. This bill is known as House Bill 6043 and Senate 81l 1376 and every club is asked to write to Frederick R- Lehlbach, chairman of the committee on reform in civil service In the House, and Thomas Sterling, chairman of the committee on civil service and retrenchment In tbe Senate and urge the passage of the bill,” Parent-Teacher Notes At the tegular meeting of the ParentTeacher Association of School No. 72, pn next Wednesday afternoon Helen Kder will present a group of dances, accompanied by Maud Pyle, Miss Carrie Scott will talk on "Books for Children.” “What School Means to the Community
