M’CRAY DEBT AT BANKS $1,246,721 (Continued From Page 1) the stand for the fourth time. He corrected his original testimony by saying that March 1, 1923, McCray owed his bank $31,000 Indirect obligation, instead of $6,000, as slated by Smith originally. Amos D. Morris, former cashier of the Discount and Deposit State Bank of Kentland, of which McCray was president, was put on the stand for the third time. He said that March 1, 1923, McCray owed the bank $8.4X6.54 direct obligation. In the form of checks carried as cash items. Smith also identified handwriting on a. number of notes bearing names of various farms and companies, as that of McCray. Among these was a note for $9,600, signed “A. E. Herriman & Cos.” This note is made the basis of one of the counts in the indictment against Governor McCray charging him xvjth forgery. The note war admitted in evidence several days ago.

Witness Disappointment Tip* .State frequently made efforts on Wednesday to show that indorsed paper held by the banks had been forged and bore the names of non-existing firms. For the greater part, objections to this evidence were sustained by Special Judge Harry O. Chamberlin. Failure of E. E Blackburn, president of the Marion National Bank of Marion. Ind.. to remember details of conversations with the Governor last August and his uncertainty of manner in testifying as to investigations of companies whose names appeared on notes of $34,500 discounted at his bank by Governor McCray, clearly was a great disappointment to the prosecution. Blackburn precipitated the grand jury investigation which resulted in the indictment of the Governor. "Lost" Farms He testified that he made trips to Minnesota, Illinois and northern Indiana to investigate names on notes. Some of the companies he said he could not locate. A ripple of laughter went through the court room when he said no such farm ns the Hickory Island Stock Farm was known in Newton County. This farm, comprising about 800 acres, was generally regarded as one of the McCray's best properties. Blackburn referred continuously to an enormous bundle of papers and card indexes which be brought to the stand with him, and attempted to read his testimony. Judge Chamberlin refused to permit him to do this and he apparently became confused and left the stand after giving little testimony. His story fell far short in detail of the one he told at the McCray bankruptcy hearing in Federal Court last fall. EXHIBIT HOUSE FURNISHED L..S. Ayres Decorates Bungalow for Home Complete Show. Furniture and draperies are being placed in the “Petit Manoir” type French bungalow which is the exhibit of L. S. Ayres & Cos. at the Home Complete Exposition opening Monday at the State fairground.

GOOD IVIES ARE UP TO PUBLIC, SAY PHOTO INDORSERS Resolution Showing Need of General Support for Best Pictures Adopted, A resolution emphasizing the importance of good pictures “supported in sucji terms that boxofflee receipts will be sufficiently large to insure exhibitors' demands for them," was adopted at the last meeting of the convention of Indiana Indorsers of Photoplays at the Claypool today. The action followed a talk by Dr. Edha Hatfield Edmondson of Bloomington. in which she said, "Managers will exhibit approved pictures if their boxofflee receipts indicate the approval of the public.” In speaking of censorship against indorsement, she said that freedom to choose our own pictures* and approving or not approving them was the prerogative of the audiences and was a better arrangement than having three paid censors. The morning session was followed by an open luncheon in the Riley room. Clara Kimball Young, who is appearing at English's this week, was an honor guest. Mrs. 11. 11. Lund of Washington, D. 0., was the principal speaker and a musical program was given by Mrs. Everett C. Johnson, accompanied by Mrs. William Herbert Gibbs. Sixtv-five reservations have been made for the performanace at English's tonight, for a party of the photoplay indorsers. Light travels from the sun to the earth in eight minutes and nine seconds.
