M’CRAY TANGLE IS COMING TO CRISIS IN THREE COURTS Numerous Possibilities for Action in Legal Proceedings— Grand Jury to Resume Investigation Here Friday. Developments in the tangled financial situation of Governor McCray were rapidly coming to a head today. The situation; The Marion County grand jury, having heard men whose names were signed to notes sold by McCray, will resume its investigation at 9:30 a. m. Friday. Hearing on the involuntary petition in bankruptcy filed against McCray in Federal Court will be held in Ft. Wayne Oct. 20. Hearing on suits on notes filed against McCray at Kentland will begin Oct. 29. With these three things in prospect indications were that definite developments can be expected by the end of this month.

Possibilities Numerous There are numerous possibilities. The principal one hinges on the question of •whether McCray will be indicted by the grand Jury. It is known that persons who have stated under oath they did not authorize McCray to sign notes for them and that they knew nothing of notes signed with their names and made payable to McCray have been before the Jury. While the utmost secrecy surrounds the grand Jury investigation, there are numerous Indications that the Inquiry is thorough. There have been numerous stories concerning the handling of State funds. Versions of these were given the Republican State committee recently by Janies P. Goodrich, former Governor and head of the McCray “rescue pool,” and by Ora Davies, State treasurer. Neither has appeared before the grand Jury. When the investigation started Charles W. Moores, special prosecutor, indicated there might be occasional adjournments to assimilate testimony and to prepare for the calling of new witnesses. This is believed to be the reason for only occasional one-day and one-half-day sessions of the jury. Appearance Not Immunity Governor McCray has repeatedly expressed his willingness to appear before the grand jury, if his lawyers permit him to do so. This would not tnake him immune from indictment, contrary to what appears to be a general Impression. A case in point was the Lake County Federal liquor investigation in which a number of defendants subsequently indicted and convicted appeared before the jury. Second In Importance to the grand Jury investigation is the bankruptcy proceedings at Ft, Wayne. McCray's attorneys are attempting to prove the Governor is a tiller of the soil and as such is immune from bankruptcy action. The entire case is expected to be hinged on this question. If the court rules McCray is not immune and declares him bankrupt, the trust agreement so carefully drawn up at the request of McCray will be nonoperative. It is believed also that the persons interested in the pool headed by Goodrich and to whom McCray turned over many of his assets would be put in the position of ordinary creditors and may lose much of the McCray property of which they have obtained possession. Some May Have to Wait If the suits on notes at Kentland are successful, the probable outcome there will be for creditors to obtain Judgments, making It necessary for them to wait for their money. If the bankruptcy suit Is successful, the action of the court in these cases probably would be nullified. Meanwhile, new facts concerning the Governor’s transactions are coming to light. The Chicago Tribune today printed two financial statements said to have teen made by McCray, one as of Jan. 1, 1923, and one as of Aug 31, 1923. The Tribune declares it has discovered Indications the Governor has been trading in land during the last eight months. According to the Jan. 1 financial statement the Governor listed his resources as $2,174,772.32 and his liabilities at $386,674.10, leaving a net worth of $1,788,098.22. The Aug. 31 statement as presented to creditors showed assets of $3,323,417.90 and liabilities of $2,652,682, leaving a net worth of $670,735.90. “The first financial statement was used to sell McCray paper; the second to appease creditors,” the Tribune charges.

WIDOWSMAYLOSE HOIS IN REALTY ‘BLUESKY’ DEALS Scores of People Inquire About Properties Held by Defunct Firm, Volumes of complaints, inquiries and conflicting data continue to pour in on David A. Coulter, receiver for the defunct Realty Finance and Building Company, 203 National City Bank Bldg., from persona who have had dealings with the company. ‘‘More than fifty people have been in to inquire as to the status of their homes," said Coulter, who sits in the company’s office trying to unravel the financial tangle. He is being aided by Fritz G. Heinrich, former secre-tary-treasurer, now under arrest on embezzlement charges. Specific cases of how money was lost for customers, many of whom sunk their life’s savings with the company, are hard to isolate, Coulter said, due to the fact that bookkeeping is in “a mess.” Widow Gave $3,600 Home One attorney, however, stated that a widow client of his who stood a chance to lose her life's savings, had given the company title to her property for $3,600 on a promise of the company to erect a home for her on another lot, said to be worth $9,000. The company mortgaged the lot and the house, the attorney said. “I will not give her name, because she !s in frail health and relatives fear the shock of losing her money will kill her if she would read it in the paper. I am afraid it is all gone, though.” Mrs. Teresa Ilg, widow, employed at the Indiana Girl’s School, sold her lots at Coyner Ave. to the company for $4,750 and was to get anew home at Forty-Sixth and College, It Is said. The company retained title to both places, giving her a contract for the College Ave. property. $156 Was Original Capital No abstract on the new property was furnished, and the family does not know it they will get the new house or n6t, a daughter said. Mrs. Ilg is seriously 111. Records at the courthouse show the original company was started with $156 by Lyle T. Laub, now sought by detectives. Laub and Heinrich with their two wives owned all the company, capitalized at SIIO,OOO. The company was placed in receivership by Circuit Court.

ENGINEER KILLS . SELF BY POISON 4T Worry Over Splitting Switch Possible Cause, Belief, No definite reason has been found for the suicide of Leonard C. Fuson, 32, 350 Limestone St., who died in the admitting room of the city hospital shortly after drinking poison Wednesday afternoon. Fuson purchased the death poison at a drug store at Bloomington and Washington Sts., stating that his wife wanted it to kill insects. Walking to Greeley St., Fuson drank the poison. Mrs. Fuson said her husband left home early in the morning, telling her that he was going to draw his engineer’s pay from the Big Four Railread. Worry over splitting a switch while acting as engineer last Sunday might have been the cause of his act. Officials of the railroad said that Fuson had not been suspended after the accident.
