Therefore, I am not dis|osed to waive this rule to meet the motion of David C. Stephenson, even though, if I have been correctly informed, he may claim to be the law, for he is not the law whicii governs my conduct in this case or any other. “I am convinced and I now so inform the court, that it would be prejudicial to the interests of the State to try Gentry before Stephenson. I am convinced that it would seriously handicap the State In the presentation of this case as a whole to try any one of these defendants before the defendant! Stephenslon is tried. My or inion has been confirmed by the attitude of the defendants. Hide and Seek “They were arrested in Marion county upon these charges and one of them gave a fictitious name to the police. On the occasion of the other arrest, they were apprehended only after a farce comedy of hide-and-seek and been indulged in. They filed a plea in abatement, it was denied. They filed a petition to be let to bail and withdrew It. “They filed a motion to strike out. It was overruled. They filed a motion to quash. It was overruled. They asked that the case be set for trial in Marion County. They filed a motion for a change of venue then, and the case-was sent here. “When it came here they filed another petition to be let to bail and asked me to produce the dying declaration of Madge Oberholtzer. They tried to keep it out and the court compelled them to introduce it. They then asked that these cases be set for trial today. We again prepared for trial. They did not indicate at that time that they would demand a severance. We promised to be there and we are here. We are here to try D. C. Stephenson and the rest, if they care for trial, but not to be hoodwinked into trying Mr. Gentry alone. Respects Court "In conclusion, I wish to say that I have the fullest confidence in, and the highest respect for. this court. Your honor has from the beginning recognized the importance of this case, and has at all times endeavored, to he fair. “We do not desire to nolle the case against Earl Gentry, and nudor a favorable ruling from ihe court, it will not be necessary for use to do so. We confidently believe that your honor will see the reasonableness of our petition. I am confident that the court will recognize that this declaration is actuated only by my desire faithfully to discharge my full duty as an officer of the Si ate under my oath. “As I see my duty I cannot conscienetiously proceed otherwise.” FIREWORKS SET OFF Marine Piece Ignites "Crackers'’ in Broad Ripple Park Display.

E. Sturmm. “This would give the cars that are crossing the square a chance to 'get in the clear before the cross traffic cars are in motion,” according to Sturm’s views. “If all traffic were halted until the square clears, the people on foot would have enough time at least to give them a degree of safetjt In crossing the intersections.” Los Angeles Plan Impressed by a recent visit to Los Angeles, H. D. Rusie wrote: “The Los Angeles crowds move with the traffic, that is in the same direction, and is not a particle of confusion. Not only that, but you are called down by officers if you do not obey signals.” In Cleveland pedestrians are handed a card of warning if they move across a street against the traffic, T. A. Carroll's letter explains. The card reads: “Warning: You have violated a traffic signal rule. Do not cross street except when the light is green, which means ‘GO.’ ” C. L. Jackson expressed the opinion that a “walk” interval for pedestrians, scheduled for trial by the board of safeyt, would congest traffic because of the number of cars that would accumulate during that period. Proposal Approved Approval of the city plan commission’s proposal that right and left turns be eliminated In the business district came from Jackson, and he proposed prohibiting all left turns at stop and go signals.

Keep all cars moving at this limit. The pokey driver is the one who causes accidents.
