CITY BUS LINE HEARING ENDS (Continued From Page 1) to street car company officials in advance of taking the stand. Harlan T. Reno, 3801 Roosevelt Ave., city fireman, who said his wife was the real owner of the bus line to Brightwood, which A. Smith Bowman, president of the coach company, had testified he took over from Harry Clark, was a star witness for the car company. He testified that his wife was really the owner of the company and that he took .Clark’s interests over Feb. 20. Clark admitted that he had no cash investment in the company. It is the company’s contention the Brightwood line was not in operation for ninety days before the law became effective and can not come in for a franchise under the ninety-day clause. Michael E. Glenn, city traffic inspector, called as a witness for the street railway company, said that so far as he knew no arrangement , had been made by the Peoples Motor Coach Company for loading and' unloading busses in Monument Circle. He said that he instructed police to order bus drivers to cease using the Circle as a terminal, but that the order was not observed. On direct examination, Glenn said he had talked frequently with Bowman regarding the general observance of traffic laws. He declared Bowman had complied with his instructions to the best of his ability. UJenn said Bowman once requested him to give the drivers a lecture on speeding. When a brake test was held, Glenn said only one bus was found equipped with faulty brakes. Glenn said in March, 1925, he received a complaint from the Circle and English theaters on the congestion of Monument Circle by busses. Glenn said that since he ordered that not more than two busses should be loading or discharging passengers at the same time, there had been no general congestion. Immediately on complevion of evidence in petition of the Union Traction Company to abandon four of its street car lines in Muncle and substitute bus service, the commission turned to applications of four Muncie bus operators to Operate in the same city. Petition off the Union Traction Company to operate a bus line between Indianapolis and Muncle was heard later. REQUISITION APPROVED Governor Jackson today approved & requisition from Governor Small of Illinois for the return to Chicago of Joseph Rosensweig, held by local police and wanted to face a charge of conspiring to operate A confidence game.

SHAW DEFENSE RESTS ITS CASE (Continued From Page 1) ber, 1923, was read into the records here. The death sentence later was set aside by the Supreme Court. Testimony Read Mrs. Gill’s testimony was to the effect that Shaw arrived home at 1 o’clock the night of the murder, and that she awakened- him and cooked his breakfast about 5:30 a. m., after which he went to v/ork. Crose-exam-ination of Mrs. Gill also was read. In it Mrs. Gill admitted she told detectives she did not know when Shaw arrived home the night of the murder. J. Friedman, owner of the Roosevelt Theater, testified that during the week of the murder he did not exhibit a show entitled *T Am the Law.” Mrs. Harriett Beasley testified Monday for the State that she and Hunky John, an Albanian who gave Shaw Mrs. Whelchel’s watch and ring, according to the defendant, attended such a show ihe night of the murder and that Hunky John stayed all night at ber house. In the afternoon session today Prosecutor William H. Remy of Marion county began his rebuttal. The State rested Its circumstantial case Tuesday. With Statp rebuttal, two hours of argument allowed each side and Judge Joseph H. Williams’ instructions still to come, It is thought the case will not reach the jury before Thursday morning. Admits Having Jewelry The State has proved Shaw had Mrs. Whelchel’s watch and ring, which he readily admits, saying Hunky John, 403 W. Maryland St., Indianapolis, an Albanian, gave them to him. John set up an alibi for himself for the night of the murder through several witnesses. Martinsville is making a show of the trial, crowds being unable to gain admittance. The jury goes home each night, but will be locked up when it finally gets the case. Shaw on Stand Shaw was on the stand In his own defense Tuesday. He was nervous, bis muscles twitching. Speaking in a low, mumbling voice, he categorically denied each and every State charge or bit of evidence. Roy Gill, 1235 Cornell Ave., Shaw’s brother-in-law, testified Shaw got home the night of the murder about 12 o’clock. The girl was seized at lowa and East Sts., near her home, after getting off a street car about midnight. Prosecutor ftemy promptly impeached Gil’s testimony through a sworn statement he made detectives shortly after the murder, in which he said he did not know when Shaw reached home. Fellow workmen of Shaw at Kingan & Cos., testified to seeing Hunky John at the plant the day before Shaw was arrested, conversing with Shaw. GYPSIES ARE ARRESTED Five gypsies, four women and a man, w r ere held today on vagrancy charges pending investigation of the alleged theft of $36 at th® National Oil Refining filling station, Keystone Ave. and New York St., Tuesday.

BANDITS SEIZE INDIANA TOWN (Continued From Page 1) to be met by armed men and placed under guard. Meanwhile the bandits had cut the telephone cables, light wires, and had gone to the bank where they had battered down the door. Nitroglycerine was used to blow open the vault. Considerable damage was done to the interior of the bank. A small safe inside the vault, containing a considerable amount of cash, was not touched by the gang. The bandits fled toward Indianapolis, it was believed. Farmers for miles around Brook were isolated by the cutting of the cables. It may take several days to make repairs. Office of Harry Webster, head of the protection department of the Indiana Bankers’ Protective Association, dispatched operatives to Brook at once. Indianapolis police were investigating a tip given thmem by Thomas Newman of Columbus, Ohio. Newman said an Essex coach drove on to the National Rd. just east of Knlghtstown, followed by a Hudson car about 3 a. m. He said there were five men in the Essex and they hid their faces as he drove past them. He said the car had a Newcastle auto dealer’s license. He said that as they drove into Irvington three of the men got out of the car and separated. Newman made his report after reading an account of the hold-up in the newspapers. Is State Bank The office of the State bank commissioner; Eben Walcott, said the bank, formerly a private institution, became a State bank, May 21, 1924, with a charter capital of $50,000. John F. Lawrence is president and John B. Lyons is cashier and John B. Lyons Jr., assistant cashier. Elkhart bankers and business men have completed plan* for protect’on against bandits, according vo word today. Sawed off shotguns have been placed at various places in the downtown district. Similar action elsewhere was urged by Sihgleton, the bankers’ association chairman here. , Local vigilance committee, ulannby bankers, would be composed of responsible business men and other public spirited citizens, who would have their arms ready at their places of business to turn out , at a moment’s notice, Singleton said. Members would be legally organized as deputy sheriffs. The plan has reduced bank robberies in lowa to a great extent and is being tried out in Illinois, according to Singleton. Automobiles would be available for pursuit of bandits at all times, according to the proposal of the bankers. Vigilahters would receive training through membership in the National Rifle Association. Meet at Sullivan Officials of the Indiana Bankers’ Association were at a meeting of Group 8, at Sullivan, today. This was one of a series of group meetings, at which the vigilance committee idea is being discussed. J. V. Carpenter of the Brazil Trust Company, Brazil, Ind., is president of the association. State policemen have been ordered to start to work at once when robberies occur, he said. .Although no word had been received from officers in the northern part of the State today, several were probably aiding in the search for the robbers of the Brook Bank, he said. Although the State officers have authority to arrest only for automobile law violations, the fact that the bandits break the speed laws in making their escape will permit

them to act. Schortemeier said. It would be necessary for the Legislature Jo act to give State police more power to suppress banditry, he said. The last Legislature voted down a measure to establish a State constabulary. Robert Humes, captain of State police, said today that he was working on plans to help in protecting banks. Lack of enough men confronts the plan, the robbery at Brook being a good example. Humes said he has a man at Lafayette, and one at Hammond, the two nearest points to the scene of the Brook robbery. An alarm system whereby the men nearest the scene of a robbery can be notified at once and the report sent to headquarters here is planned. Bank holdups since March include: South Kokomo bank March 27, $11,128 taken; Laketon Bank, March 31, $1,927 taken: Fairbanks Bank. May 1, $5,000; Eaton Bank, May 5, $2,300 taken; Bloomingdale Bank, May 9, $600; Farmers National Bank at Wadesville, May 11, $75 taken; First State Bank at Bourbon, 27. $15,000. Bandits were frightened away in an attempted holdup at the Farmers’ State Bank at Hazlewood, May 13. State police will aid local authorities in the drive against bank bandits, Secretary of State Schortemeier said.
