JURY TO RECEIVE HUNTCASETODAY (Continued From Page 1) political campaign which was approaching. Slpe also said Hunt asked for $50,000. Hunt maintained he asked for SIO,OOO and that Slpe said he was glad to let him have it. The defense has maintained that Hunt did not know Slpe was loaning him county money. Snyder testified that Slpe had a county account at the Security Trust Company. Ijj’or nearly two and onehalf hours Remy addressed the Jury, after both sides rested the case. Remy recounted the events which led up to the obtaining of the $lO,000 check from Slpe by Hunt, and Hunt’s giving Slpe his demand note for it. He retraced tleir trip to banks to get $40,000 in securities and the turning over of It all to Hn<}t by Slpe, “All this is undisputed evidence, the only point on which they are not together is what the money was to be used for,” said Remy. In testimony, Sips said Hunt said ho wanted $60,000 to take up a loan on the Indiana National Life Insurance Company. Hunt said he had said he wanted SIO,OOO to buy some collateral. Remy Scores Dealings “With all his-business interests, with all his business friends, Hunt had to go to Sipe to borrow this SIO,OOO at 10 per cent interest," said Remy. “He, a man with Integrity, whose word is good in this community. a director of a bank, a member of its finance committee, had to go to Richard V. Sipe for a loan.” Remy declared that in all Sipe’s business dealing with or through Hunt he became indebted, except when he purchased Franklin Stores securities. This later failed. “You’ll never sit on a jury again to see a more unwilling witness than Sipe.” argued Remy. “He didn’t want to testify; he was compelled to against his will. Everything we got out of Sipe, we got through persistent questioning. He didn’t come here in a spirit of revenge.” “Sipe, who entered a plea of guilty, paid his debt to society and has returned to Indianapolis to make anew start.” said Remy.

lse it cannot convict Hunt if there is a doubt as to his guilt. Pointing to Hunt, Wiltsie cried, “I believe there Bits before you an innocent man, a man unjustly charged, a man whose life and standing in this city repels all evidence to the contrary. A man who had no reason to take a chance of going to the State prison and absolutely condemn himself, sell his very soul, disgrace his family, his wife and four children. “It’s unreasonable, and the State hasn’t any right to ask you to believe unreasonable things,” declared Wiltsie. Wiltsie asked the Jurors to take the evidence of Hunt and Slpe and weigh It. Following the noon recess Monday, Prosecutor William H. Remy recalled Hunt to the stand and asked him whether arrangements had not been made between him and Latta, his hrother-ln-law, to cash the $40,000 In Hamllton-Harrts and Franklin Stores securities given him by Sipe.

Objection Sustained Judge James A. Collins sustained the objection of Eph Inman, defense counsel, saying all matters which do not directly relate to the SIO,OOO alleged in the indictment to have been embezzled are immaterial. Theee character witnesses testified as to the honesty, integrity and fair dealing of Hunt: Clyde Hoffman, attorney; Robert T. McClure. Scottish Rite secretary': Linton A. Cox. attorney; Otto Klass, salesman; W. S. Wilson of the Central Supply Company aijd Clarence H. Keehn of Kingan & Cos. Prosecutor Remy objected strenuously when Inman recalled Ira Chase Koehne, attorney and engineer, for cross-examination. Koehne, a State witness, testified last Thursday. Dayton Record Produced Inman insisted he had a right to cross-examine Koehne, even though the State had rested its case. Koehne, the State’s "surprise” witness, had testified Hunt had refused to make him a loan, but told him Sipe, the county clerk, handled more county public money than any other official except the treasurer. Hunt, on the stand Monday, emphatically denied such 'a conversation with Koehne. Inman introduced into evidence copies of records from the clerk of the Common Pleas Court of Dayton, Ohio, charging Koehne had been convicted of extortion and indicted on chargesof grand larceny and obtaining money under false pretenses. Inman said Koehne was "driven” out of Dayton in 1916 and charges dismissed provided he never return. Koehne denied this, saying he
