YEAR’S STATE ROAD WORK IS ABOUT AT END Pessimistic Outlook Is Expressed by Highway Director. Probability that no more mileage would be added this fiscal year to the State hghway system was forecast today by John D. Williams, director of the State highway commission. The mileage which may be taken over by the commission is limited partly by the appropriation for maintenance and partly by the mileage paved. The last Legislature pared to the bone the appropriation for the maintenance department of the commission when'it reduced it $500,000 from that of the previous year. The department is now operating under an appropriation of $3,200,000. Mileage Given , The commission paved 265 miles of the highway system during the fiscal year which ended Sept. 30. Williams saijl, and little likelihood exists for more than this to be paved next year. A pessimistic outlook was expressed by Williams in his prediction of the commission’s inability to pave a very large number of highways next year under its appropriation. In expressing the view, he declared a limit may be reached in the amount of maintenance work which may be done on the gravel roads of the State. Maintenance at Limit On at least a half dozen roads, maintenance work had practically reached its limit. On these roads maintenance work has required the scraping up of such a large amount of road base that the base will not carry enough metal on the surface to hold up traffic. In order to keep these roads fit for travel it would be necessary to spend nearly as much money for a base as it would to pave. He cites the thirty-five-mile stretch of gravel road from Plymouth to Peru as a particular instance and declared this road would stand up but a little while longer unless its base were renewed.

JURY PICKING IS HALF OVER (Continued From Page I) John L. Taye, who was disqualified as not a property owner. Clinton Thompson was then summoned to fill the vacancy, and on and on the process dragged. Humor Relieves Monotony of the morning session was relieved by humorous remarks \ of some of the talesmen. Eph Inman, chief defense counsel, asked C. 11. Johnson a farmer, if he had any relatives in Indianapolis. “Yes, a man who works at Crown Hill cemetery.” “What relation is he to you?” “He married my stepmother’s sister,” said Johnson. “That’s no relation, Your Honor,” objected Kane, rising to his feet, and for the first time sinee the trial started a week ago Monday, Inman agreed with liitn. - Inman also asked Johnson if he knew Asa J. Smith, Indianapolis attorney. Johnson said he did not. Smith was the lawyer who prepared the dying declaration, on which the State will expect to convict Stephenson and his aids. Johnson said he had no acquaintance with Will Adams, former Supreme Court reporter, or Newman T. Miller, former State fire marshal, whose name Inman uses occasionally to enliven the proceedings as a possible suspectof “seeing members of the venire about the case.” Then there was George Snead, farmer. Inman asked him if he had an opinion as to thee guilt or innocence of the accused. "My opinion is that a grand jury’ before it can return an indictment must have some suspicion of guilt,” Snead said. "You would expect and require the defendant to prove themselves innocent?” asked Inman. “Exactly that.” Judge Takes Hand Judge Will M. Sparks interrupted. "Now. Mr. Snead, if the grand jury went to indict you for stealing corn—not saying you have or would —that indictment would be no evidence that you actually did steal the corn.” “No, Judge, but you can’i tell what I might do.” "Mr. Snead, the court would presume you Innocent and you would not have to take the stand in your own defense. Would you still feel biased?” “Well, I feel a suspicion, Judge, to be honest with you;” \ Loud laughter in the courtroom. Still trying to aid Snead, the judge was interrupted again by the farmer, who interjected; “I haven’t passed sentence yet, Judge.” “Well could you enter this case with an unbiased mind?” He "Could” “Y'es. I covld,” Snead replied, with strained entpnasis on the “could.” “But, would you?" “I always do what I say I will.” “But, I don’t know you. 1 never met you.” the judge answered, still laughing. Then William Richwine, a school hack driver. He was a talesman after Inman's own heart. He confessed ilj the defendants were found guilty he’d be reluctant to impose any sort of a penalty. “If I was on this jury, and these fellers was guilt, I couldn't sentence them. I wouldn’t sentence them,” said Richwine. “You mean you are opposed to capital punishment?” asked Inman. Opposed to Death “Yes, that’s it, I —l couldn't sentence them to death.” "Well, we'll let the prosecution wrestle with those problems,” said Inman, soothingly. “Wei!, I don't think it right in the first place for a man to be murdered, and I coujdn’t sentence a man to be murdered,” returned the hack driver. Judge Sparks took a hand. “I believe the juror is laboring under a misunderstanding of the penalt> for first degree murder.” "IH set him right. Your Honor,” said Inman.. “Now Mr. Richwine, if the defendants are found guilty, it is in the discretion of the juror whether you will give them a

was simple and Impressive. Four friends of Mrs. Stroud sang a hymn of benediction. Hundreds of persons attended the service. Burial was at Crown Hill. As the burial service ended, a man bowed with grief, lingered. Presently, he picked a single red rose from a floral piece renting on the grave. It was the mute farewell of a stricken husband, and brought quick tears to those who observed it.
death penalty a life-imprisonment, or front two to twenty-one years. Now don't feel frightened at the possibility of a death penalty.” Richwine opined that he wasn't frightened, but he “didn’t know.” "Y'ou mean you couldn’t sentence them to the penitentiary even?” “I don’t know.” “Y'ou are very kind hearted,” said Inman. Stephenson and the other defendants. were taking a great interest in the examination. “Now let’s get down to brass tacks,” said Inman, "Y'ou’d enforce the law wouldn't you?” Prosecution Glares The defense attorney was in the curious situation of insisting that if the defendants should be found guilty they should be found guilty. After more argument, Richwine said. “Well, the law has to be enforced. I guess, but I don’t want to be the one to do it.” Apparently satisfied, Inman passed on to the next juror, while the prosecution glared at Richwine. When court opened this morning, Judge Sparks excused William Price, in chair one, a farmer, because of his age. Judge Sparks also temporarily excused W. O. Inman, who has occupied chair eight, several days, in order that he might attend to some pressing personul affairs. MARION HAS BIRTHDAY Senator Watson Chief Speaker at Centennial Celebration.
