STEPHENSON WAITS FOR BAILRULING judge Will Give Answer on Hearing Thursday—Four Days of Evidence and Argument at Noblesville Are Concluded. STATE STRIKES BACK AT DEFENSE MOVES Statement by Charles E. Cox Draws Reprimand From Bench Dying Declara* tion of Girl Crux of Whole Murder Case. Jail or bail? This is the question, D. C. Stephenson, Earl Klinck and Earl Gentry, charged with murder of Miss Madge OberholLer, confined in the Hamilton County jail at Noblesville, are waiting for Judge Fred E. Hines of Hamilton Circuit Court to decide. Freedom for the defendants pending trial of the case or continuation of Jail life which began with their arrest just two months ago today, depends upon the ruling Judge Hines will make Thursday on the motion of defense attorneys to admit the defendants to bail. Judge Hines took the case under advisement late Friday, after four days of hearing of evidence and argument on the motion. Attorneys Contend Contentions of Eph Inman, Floyd A- Christian, and Ira M. Holmes, defense attorneys, In their arguments were 'taken as an indication of the line of defense to be set up should the case go to trial before a jury. They fought the competency of Miss Oberholtzer’s dying statement, and insisted her death was purely a case of suicide. They argued this last point at length, insisting that Miss Oberholtzer was a free agent when she obtained and took mercuric poison at the Indiana Hotel at .Hammond, March 16, that she kept her deed a. secret for more than six hours, a length of time defense lawyers said which made medical aid of no avail. State Strikes Back The State struck back with the argument that Miss Oebrholtezr’s act was the direct result of mistreatment by the defendants and of resulting humiliation and disgrace. During his argument on behalf of the State Charles E. Cox said, referring to Stephenson, “if this man had harmed a daughter* of mine, no man-made law would prevent me frorft taking his life." This remark drew a reprimand from Judge Hines immediately after • he noon recess, 'judge Hines said he could not permit the remark to pass unchalleneged, that such remarks have a tendency to breed contempt of the law and said he would give Cox an opportunity to withdraw the statement. Immediately ©ox arose and said: Criticism Conceded "I concede the court's criticism is just. I said I doubted whether the 1 statement should be made, but this crime is so unusual that no man with red blood in his veins can do otherwise than denounc* the perpetrators, particularly when one o£ the men has asserted, ‘I am the law.’ ” IX-DRY AGENTS FINEjt JAILED Russell, Former Director, Imprisoned for Two Years.

"In the good old days the shop was full of fine horses stamping around, and smiths were busy tacking on shoes. No blacksmith ever drank water when I began. It was beer. I remember the first day I began work I asked the boss where I could get a drink of water. “He laid down his tools In surprise. ‘Water!’ he said, ’Water!’ They ain't no water around this shop. A man drinks beer. How c:yi you expect to shoe horses and drink thin water?” Carey opines the horse will come back more and more, but that the old-fashioned horse-shoer Is passing for good.* “There will be college graduates to tack on the shoes in the future,” he 9aid. “Cornell University hasv v a course in it now.” Carey stopped talking long enough to sell four rusty shoes to an urchin “to play horse shoes with.” That was his sole business of the afternoon.
