SHERIFF NABS * AUTOISTS IN BOOZE RAID Get Two Speeders and Arrest Four as Drunks. SEEK TEN OTHERS Broad Ripple Resort Is Target of CleanUp. Two alleged speeder* and four persona charged with being drunk are under arrest today as a result of a clean-up campaign by Sheriff George Snider at Broad Ripple. The authorities have the license numbers of ten other speeders who wGI be arrested. The persons ehargfd with being drunk were arrested at Garden Point, a Broad Ripple resort, Saturday night, and those charged with speeding were said to have been going to or from the resort. Robert I>e Vault, Broad Ripple town marshal, assisted Sheriff Snider In the ■riean-up. P Garden Point la regarded as one of the potential causes of reckless driving by Intoxicated autolsts In Indianapolis. Ihe Broad Ripple couucil has passed an ordinance to take effect June 6, requiring all roadhouses and places of ausement to be closed promptly at midnight. DISCOrBAC.K CITY DRrNRS. "This practice of the 'drunks' from the city coming out here affer the cabarets In the city close is going to be stopped,” said Marshal) De Vault. "VYe are faced with the problem of combatting this evil every summer. However. since the passage of that ordinance, which I Intend to enforce rigidly, 1 believe It will stop in a measure. "Every one who comes to Garden Point, man or woman, who Is drinking or baa liquor ‘on him.’ will be arrested." declared the marshal. Garden Point was characterized as a place where the ‘‘big boys” gather, by Marabal I>e Vault. "We will keep at It nntll we break It np,” said Sheriff Snider today. ' Tell them that for me. We will get them if they rlolatte the law.” Sheriff Snider said that the persons who frequented Garden Point usually purchased their liquor In town and took It out there. Aa the raiding party approached the resort early Sunday morning a party of man and women leaped into a large expensive automobile and drove furiously away. Aa they escaped they threw fn in the automobile three pints and a quart of white mule. The men arrested for drunk gave their names as Carl Morris, who was fined Kl 5 and costa in Squire Mohr's court; ohn Beechman and Clark Horan each drawing a fine of $lO and costs. George McCartT, arrested at the same time, pleaded not guilty and win be tried In the squires court today. He Is In Jail In default of a SSO bond. Only two speeders gave their names and addresses. They said they were Paul Mueller, 600 East Sutherland avenue, and Norman Heiden, 901 East Morris street. Sheriff Snider and his deputies also Investigated reports of a roadhouse at Thirty-Fourth street and Ralston avenue, said to be frequented for Immoral purposes by negroes. Five remonstrances, bearing 109 names, and asking Sheriff Snider to close the place were sent to him. Every signature was that of a property owner. One of the letters stated the resort was a place of Immorality, drunkenness, vile language, music and dancing, and complained negroes came to the place every night at about 9 o’clock and stayed aa late aa 3 o’clock in the morning. Large automobiles bearing cases of bottles were said also to come to the resort.

WINDOWS PAINTED AND Gl AID POSTED. The windows are painted so passersby cannot see within. It is said the negroes posted watchers around the house to warn them of the approach of police and these watchers threw tne rays of a spotlight in passing automobiles to assure themselves they did not contain officers. At the time of Sheriff Snlfier's raid, early In the evening, these negroes were in the house cooking, prepirlng, the sheriff said, for the nlght'e entertainment- As he had no search warrant, it was Impossible to search the place, but kherlff Snider said be was conduced the was resorted to for Immoral purpose*. 119 scare the three negroes a warning against misconduct and left. The place will be watched In the future, he Indicated. It tv located in the midst of residences owned by white suburbanites. The peo- ■ pie who live the-e are not of the class which desiree tc hare such a house among them. •HIP-POCKET PARTIES ARC IN VOGUE. "Hip-pocket'’ parties are said to be in rogue at both Garden Point and the Casino Gardens. Many of th wild automobile parties, in whi-h drunken drivers are often at the wheel, are said to start at the latter point and then end tticlr night of revelry at Broad Ripple. Saturday night, which usually Is the gala night of the week at both places, no general attempt was made to conceal “hip pocket'’ operations at the Casino, although a uniformed policeman was stationed there as evidence that the law was on dnty. At Garden Point, however, no drinking was observed within the building, but liquor was plain'y evident among the crowds outside. For weeks deputy sheriffs have been patrolling Keystone avenue In an effort to break up the practice of automobile speeding. The sheriff has had information that nearly all cases of reckless driving originated at Garden Point, but despite a careful watch the officers seemingly have been unable to apprehend those participating in the orgies.

SELECTION OF JURY DELAYS MURDER CASE OF MRS. CLARA CARL

By TIMES STAFF COBEESrOXPEST. SHELBYYILLE, Ind., May 22.—Objec tlon on the part of talesmen to capital punishment today slowed up efforts of attorneys to obtain s Jury in the case of Mr:- Clara Carl who went on trial In Circuit Court here charged with the mur- \ der of her husband, Frank Carl. Aa invariable question asked prospective Jurors by attorneys for the State was as to their attitude on capital punishment. The statement that he opposed such punishment was suff.clent to bring about the discharge of a venireman. The defense attorneys confined their questions largely to the attitude of talesmen on circumstantial evidence. Before noon more than thirty of a panel of seventy-five had been excused. Attorneys, howevor, expressed their hope that a Jury would be obtained late this afternoon. Mrs. Carl goes to trial surrounded by one of the most striking situations en- ■ countered la criminal annals of Indiana, j The State has announced its Intention of 1 not only introducing evidence regarding * the alleged murder of Mrs. Carl’s second husband, the late Frank Carl, but also to Introduce evidence surrounding the deaths of Robert Gibson, the first husband of Mrs. Carl, and of Alonso Carl, the father of FranL Carl and the fatber-ln-lav of Mrs. Carl. The outstanding facts of this strange case are as follows: Frank Cari, husband of Clars Csri, died at his home In Philadelphia, Ind., four miles west of Greenfield, In Han- | co-~k County, on Ang. 6. 1921. Alonzo Carl, father of Frank Carl and father-in-law of the defendant, died at the home of his son, June 6, 1921. Frank Carl and Mr3. Clara Gibson Carl, the defendant, were married in In- \ dlanapolls on Sept. 14. 1920. According to Prosecutor YValdo C. Glng of Hancock County, Alonzo Carl, who died first, made a deed shortly before his death, transferring bis property I to his son-in-law, who resides In Denver, ; Colo. The value of the property Is estimated from $2,500 to $3,000. It Is aaid that Frank Carl had no prop- ] i erty and so left no estate. He was 111 | for about three weeks before bis death. I It Is thought that the Rtare will rely i 1 to a great extent upon the testimony of ! doctors regarding tho Illness of Mr. Carl. |

It Is charged that Alonzo Carl's Illness was similar to that of his son. It Is stated that the State is prepared to Introduce certain alleged damaging evidence regarding the death of Robert Gibson, tha first husband of the defendant. It Is said that the S:ato is prepared to produce a porl-mortem examination report on the body of Gibson. His body was burled at Nelsonvllle, Ohio. The State contends that Mrs. Carl married Frank Carl under the impression that he was a wealthy man. The State la expected to define the motive of the alleged murder of Mrs. Carl's second husband in the opening statement. Mrs. Carl has entered a plea of not guilty and attributes her Indictment to ’’idle go*s!p." Tho case was venued from Hancock County to this city on a motioc of the defendant. It Is estimated that the trial will last from two to three weeks.

"I Just wish Mr. Swift would run along as best he can this year until next year when we can relieve him and he won't have anything to worry about. c> “I’ve got nothing against Mr. Swift, I think he’s a fine man—but he doesn’t know what he’s doing. John Elliott knows what he Is doing—but he hasn't any authority with that board. "I’m glad to get back to Indianapolis. I've como back satisfied with this place.

This desperate negro, with a mania for robbery of strolling couples, has terrorized the big woods along the creek never hesitating to shoot when a victim failed to obey his oft repeated command to ’Stick >m up.” One night, about three months ago, he fought, single handed, a fierce revolver battle with a squad of police night riders. At the time It was believed ho was wounded. Today, doctors at the city hospital found a bullet scar on his shoulder verifying the belief that one of the policeman's bullets bad found Its mark that night. night Policeman Davidson was walking along in the woods. He saw the slinking figure of the negro two score feet away. He was walking toward the dark figure when hs was ordered to "Stick 'em up.” The negro held a revolver In his right hand, ready to shoot from the hip. Davidson drew and fired, running toward the negro who was standing his ground and shooting at the policeman. Davidson waa within five feet of ’•The Terror" when he had emptied his .40 and one shot from the negro's weapon powder-burned his face. Dodging behind the concrete foundation of the dance hall of old Labor Park, Davidson reloaded his r-volrer. When the policeman emerged, the negro had disappeared in thY> dark, Davidson reported his battle to police headquarters, telling of his belief that he had wounded "The Terror.” Early today a report came that a man was suffering from a bullet wound and needed hospital attention.

Among other things found in his room were fifty handkerchiefs, many of them initialed. Police believe they represent name* of many person* who doubtless had been held up and robbed by the neg To. but had not reported their experiences.

RULING MAKES IT EASY FOR BOOZE HOUNDS Federal Officers Will Allow Barreled Liquor to Ee Bottled. Booze, from barrels to bottles to bootleggers to buyers Federal authorities fear this Is going to be the result of a recent ruling of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue at Washington permitting owners of whlffky to transfer bonded whisky In warehouse* from barrels to bottle* without tax, on condition that the whisky be returned immediately to the warehouse. The ruling is put in force, it Is said, to prevent wastage of the stored liquor through seepage and evaporation. However, Federal authorities point out It i esffier to steal a bunch of boPeles than a bulky barrel; also, that -a barrel of whisky carried In the hip pocket would be far more likely to attract police notice than would a half pint bottle. Rumors have been current recently that all the liquor now stored In warehouses throughout Indiana will t.e concentrated in one warehouse In order that it may be more easily guarded.
