STEPHENSON IS UNDERCHARGES / UL (Continued From Page 1) time the parents had become alarmed at her absence, and were arranging with private detectives to conduct a search. While they were downtown on this mission the men returned Miss Oberholtzer to her home, telling a neighbor that she had been "injured in an automobile accident.” The family received a telegram bearing Miss Oberholtzer’s name ae signature during the time she was gone. According to the wire she was in Hammond and was going to Chicago. Rolatives also received a phone call Monday night from some unknown person, saying that Miss Oberholtzer was in South Bend, it is said. The arrest Thursday was made by Detectives McMurtry, McGlenn, Lan sing, McDonald, King and Kurrasch in Stephenson's room at the Washington. Detectives went to Stephenson's room at the hotel and upon knocking the door was opened by Stephenson himself. "I am looking for Mr. p. C. Stephenson,” Lieut. McMurtry said when Stephenson answered the door. None of the detectives knew Stephenson. \ "Step in, gentlemen,” Stephenson replied. "I’m Mr. Butler, Mr. Stephenson’s personal secretary, what can I do for you.” "The fact of the matter is that you are Mr. Stephenson,” McMurtry said when Stephenson was identified by a newspaper reporter, “and 1 have a warrant for your arrest.” Stephenson demanded that McMurtry read the full text of the affidavit. After being placed under arrest Stephenson asked to use the telephone to call George Cowan, attorney with offices at 300 Indiana Trust Bldg. In the room with Stephenson at the time of his arrest was Albert Cowan, a local attorney. "Os course, it doesn’t mean anything to you gentlemen, but I will say this arrest was perfectly timed for some of those in the outside world,” Stephenson said. Although Stephenson refused to offer an explanation for the remark it was intimated that it concerned his political activities and the coming city primaries. \V ore Badge After being placed under arrest Stephenson drew an automatic revolver from his pocket and placed it in a traveling bag and also took a Horse Thief Detective Association badge from his vest. Lieutenant McMurtry ’■etused to allow Stephenson to confer with Ralph Johnson, local attorney, behind closed doorfc. Johnson is a son of C. O. Johnson, a city patrolman. While waiting for George Cowan to take possession of his baggage which he said contained "valuable papers,,” Stephenson frantically made use of the telephone in an effort to secure a bondsman. Finally after an half hour wait detectives refused to allow Stephenson to re-

main in his room any longer and he was taken downstairs. Albert Cowan took possession of Stephenson’s baggage. Stephenson told detectives that he knew “something was In the air,” and if he knew the arrest was to take place Thursday he would have given himself up. Stephenson said he had intended to leave Indianapolis for New York late Thursday on a business trip, byt a change in his plans delayed the trip. At Stephenson's request he was allowed to walk to police headquarters with three detectives. Police auto was driven back to headquarters by Detective McGlenn. Stephenson was taken to the turnkey’s office, where he was allowed to use the phone. "They couldn’t timed the arrest any better,” Stephenson said, after he made several attempts to secure a bondsman by telephone calls. Refuses Statement Upon being asked if he had any statement to make Stephenson told a Times reporter he had nothing to say. "They have done all the acting —now let them do all the talking,’’ Stephenson replied.’ "I'd give anything if I could get away from the Ku-Klux Klan,” Stephenson satd. Bond was finally obtained, when Louis Brown and Thomas Whitlock, bondsmen, signed the SIO,OOO bond. GeOrge Cowan and Stephenson left headquarters together. Power in Politics Stephenson, has been a power in Republican State politics for two years. He was an outstanding figure in organization of the Ku-Klux Klan !in Indiana, later breaking with the officials at national Klan headquarters at Atlanta, Ga. This official connection with the organization was severed, but he continued to wield great power with one faction of the Klan in Indiana. He opposed vigorously the Klan faction favorable to the Atlanta officials, headed by Walter Bossert, and in the Republican State convention of 1925 candidates hacked by the Stephenson element were nominated with few exceptions. In Marion County politics he has been aligned with the Coffin-Dodson faction of the Republican party, according to reports, and is said to favor the mayoralty candidacy of John Duvall, county treasurer. Accompanied Govarnor During the State campaign last year Stephenson was a prominent figure. He accompanied Governor Jackson on the greater part of his speaking tour and Jackson frequently used Stephenson's automobile on these trips. He frequently was referred to as Jackson's confidential advisor. Senator James E. Watson ami Stephenson Joined forces some time ago, according to political “dope," and Watson is said to have counted heavily on Stephenson’s assistance to retain control of the Republican State commmitte and to renom inate Watson for United States Senator in 1926. The clarinet was invented by Johann Christopher Denner of Nurem berg about 1690.
