WITNESSES SAY GIRL ASKED FOR LIQUOR

Stephenson and Madge at Columbus, Ind., Doctors Declare. (Continued From Page 1) and that they forced her to silence with revolvers at each side. / “Was anyone In the car with her?” Alone in Auto ‘No one.” “I connection with your duties as chief clerk of jthe hotel, did you know any Pullman tickets had been reserved?” “I knew some reservations had been made, yes.” “Do you know that they were used?” "I knew' they had been reserved prior to the time I saw her In the automobile, and 1 knew they were claimed after I saw her.” “Who was in the auto with her?” Holmes repeated, glancing at the jury. “By herself.” “What was the occasion that you saw her in an automobile?” “I had l stepped down the street to buy a newspaper. She nodded at me and spoke, ‘Good evening.’ I nodded or bowed slightly and spoke something like ‘Good evening,’ I guess.” ‘•Were there any other people In front of the hotel?” Near .Midnight "I dare say. It was 11 or 12 o’clock at night.” “You may cross-examine,” said | Holmes, turning his witness over to the State. Prosecutor Remy then began to question the witness, quietly, but insistently, in marked contrast to the bellowing tones and threatening gestures used by his assistant, Ralph Kane, earlier in tße morning. “You have been promoted in the last two weeks, you say. Did D. C. Stephenson have a financial interest in the hotel?” “Not to the best of my knowledge?” “He maintained headquarters there, didn't he?” “He had a room there a short time, on different occasions.” Saw' Her in Hotel "During the month of January and February you say you saw her in the Washington Hotel.” “In the months of January and February sometime.” “You don’t recall the exact time?" “No, I don’t.” “Had you ever seen her in front of the 'Washington Hotel before this time?" '*’No, T never did.” “You are very sure this was the night you saw her—March the 15th?” “I am certain of that? When I heard details of the case later on 1 ” Remy objected to the witness’ method of answering about what he heard later on. The judge tol<j the witness to merely answer questions. “To whom did you first tell this tale?” asked Remy', leaning forward in lis chair, and looking intently at the witness. “To whom did I first tell this tale?” paried the witness. “Uh huh.” “Why, to the jury," said the witness. “No one ever heard it before?” pressed the prosecutor. "No.” Told No One "And you knew the authorities of the city of Indianapolis were trying to find out all they could about this case, and yet you told not a one?" “Knew w'hat?” asked the witness. “I say you knew the authorities of Indianapolis and Marion County —the police and the prosecutor's office were trying to find out about this case, and you told no one?” “Yes, that's right.” “And you never told anybody before this morning,” said Remy. “No one.” Didn’t Tell Trio “And you never told Klinck, or Stephenson. nor Gentry?” said Remy, his questions becoming more emphatic. “Not a one of the three." “Then, said Remy, “do .V Oll know how it comes about these men subpoenaed you to come up here to testify about this if you had never told a living soul.” "No, but I can guess,” replied the witness. No Guessing “This is a trial, and we can't guess about these matters,” said Remy. "Mr. Lambert, you don’t recall the date she came in and introduced herself do you?” "I can not.” “Was this In January or February?” "True.” “Do you know as a matter of fact she went to the Washington hotel and had dinner one or two times with Mr. Stephenson?” “No.” “You knew she did It, don't you?” “No.”

State Keeps Evidence of Irvington Woman Secret

’’ - '..V' \ Mrs. Cora 11. Householder, 5850 Beechwood Ave., whom the State prevented testifying in the trial of I). C. Stephenson, Earl Klinck and Earl Gentry at Noblesville Friday. Mrs. Householder was expected to testify against the character of Miss Madge Oberholtzer. She told a Times reporter she did not want to he a witness, as she sympathized with the Oberholtzer family.

“On this night you have mentioned—you have a news stand in the Washington hotel, I believe,” Remy said, switching his line of questioning. “We have.” AH Editions “And almost all the editions are sold there.” “Yes.” "And yet you went out on the street to buy a paper?” “Yes.” “How far is the office desk from the sidewalk?” “Oh, its a matter of a 150 feet." “And where was your place of work.’’ “At the desk.” “What time did you get there that evening?” “At 6 p. m.” “And at what time were you off?” "At midnight.” Skillful Examination The prosecutor was conducting his cross-examination so skillfully that only once did the defense object. “You learned that Mr. Stephenson made reservations for tickets for a Pullman drawing room that evening?” The defense objected on the grounds there has been no testimony that Stephenson himself made the reservations. “The reservations were made in Stephenson’s name only. It has been shown,” said Holmes. Witness Fidgets What the witness' answer was was not clear, as he mumbled and fidgeted considerably on the stand. Attorney Holmes said: “No, speak up, Mr. Lambert. The reporter can't hear you.” Lambert said he knew the reservations had been made In Stephenson’s name. “Didn’t you put up the money for the reservations yourself?” “No, I didn’t handle any cash.” "Didn’t you see Mr. Stephenson, Klinck or Gentry?” “No, not at all then." Nor Shorty “Nor Shorty De Friese, Stephenson’s chauffeur?” "No. Not that night.” “Do you know Mr. Stephenson’s auto?” “I do not.” “Where were you when you saw this auto.?” Going West “Approaching the entrance from the East.” “How close?” “About ten feet.” “Were you walking fast or slow?” “I daresay I was walking rather slow. I was reading the paper.” “Oh you were walking rather slowly, looking at the paper?” “Well, it’s a habit I *have.” “What directed your attention to the automobile?” Called From Auto “Someone calling from it.” “Describe the automobile," said Remy, passing the buck to the witness; who took a few seconds to think. "Well, —the windows were down.” "You say this was on March the fifteenth?” “Yes.” “Y'ou’re certain, absolutely certain? Did you make a note of it?” “No, I had occasion to remember. ’* Many Inquiries “Are there any other inquiries for guests.” “Yes, fifty a day.” “You remember this girl in particular, however, then? You introduced yourself to her?” “I did not.” “Did you tell her your name?” “That one time, up to then, waa BOAI3 ROLLS CrN made with ‘/nmnitir CONSTIPATION

all you had ever spoken to her?” “Yes." “She never spoke to you except to make that one inquiry of you?” “No—except out there in front of the hotel.” “And she kpoko to you on this particular night? And you recall that perfectly, don’t you?” “I do," said the witness. No Witnesses "And there was no one else there? You recall that perfectly too?” "True,” said the witness. “And when you did learn of this case you never said a word to a living soul?” “Don’t misconstrue me,” said the witness. "I never mentioned my part . “Then, if Mr. Holmes a few minutes ago asked you to state when you went out there If anything h ppened, he didn't know either?” "No, he didn't know.” “Say, who subpoenaed you?” “A deputy, I suppose.” “Describe him.” Names Losey “A short man, black hair —In fact his name was Losey,” blurted the witness. “Ye— ah, l/osey," shouted the prosecutor, “Eh—hehl Losey! Do you know that Ixmey is one of Mr. Stephenson's henchmen?” “We object Your Honor,” said Eph Inman, “We object to the word henchmen.” “Henchmen has a perfectly good legal meaning. If he knows he may answer,” said Judge Sparks. “No, I don’t know.” The witness said he had seen Losey in and around the hotel with Mr. Stephenson. “Were you subpoenaed for the ball hearing last June?' ’ “No. I was only subpoenaed Just yesterday.” Cross examination was finished shortly after. Mrs. E. B. Schultze of Laurel, Ind., appearing as a defense witness, said that Stephenson and Miss Oberholtzer called at their home one evening in November, 1924, and visited with them about an hour. Mrs. Schultze’s story ran something like this: “It w'as in the evening. We had finished dinner/Mr. Stephenson and Miss Oberholtzer came to our home. Mr. Stephenson introduced her. We talked awhile. They were there a few minutes when Mr. Stephenson asked to wash his hands. He got down on the floor, ,and played with our 2-year-old baby, and he played with the baby a long time. They only stayed about an hour. It was between 7 and 8 o’clock in the evening.” Baby Liked “Stevie” “Did Miss Oberholtzer say anything to Mr. Stephenson just before they left?” Ira M. Holmes asked Mrs. Schultze. “Just before they left, she said ‘Hadn’t we better leave, dear?’ ” Mrs. Schultze also declared that Miss Oberholtzer looking down at file baby said to Stephenson, “The baby wants you to play with him again, Stevie.” Defense attorneys seemed eager to have the jury believe that Stephenson made a great hit with the baby. Husband Next Prosecutor Remy seemed satisfied with a very brief cross-examination of the witness and the defense called Edward B. Schultze, 29, her husband, as the next witness. He corroborated his wire's testimony in detail and told Holmes further that Stephenson and Miss Oberholtzer made the trip to his home sometime between the general election date and last November and the twentieth of the month. He said he was able to recall that because he and Stephenson at that time planned a hunting trip which they had on th© 20th. Schultze also told a vivid story of how Stephenson and the baby froliced on the floor. Holmes asked him what Madge said just before they left. “As I remember, sle said, ‘Don't you think we’d better start back, dear, we have a long way to go!” On cross examination Schultze told Prosecutor Remy he met Stephenson in the early days of the Ku Klux Klan. Klan Organizer “I later worked for him as an organizer.” Ko said. He fixed .the

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

VARSITY TIMES INTERESTING ITEMS FROM BUTLER CAMPUS

By Janies Carvin SOU can catch more flies with sugar than you can with vinegar, according to Prof. Neson Graham, of the Spanish department. At the start of school a committee was appointed from the 12:30 class to award a chocolate bar to the member of the class who received the highest grade on the weekly quiz. The presentation of the award takes place every Thursday. Professor Graham expressed hiinselr as being greatly pleased with the results of the plan. Study hours will be observed In each fraternity home on the campus. In accordance with the request of the faculty made to representatives of each organization at a meeting this week. The plan, approved by the committee, is as follows: Quiet conducive to study shall be maintained in each house until 5 o’clock In the afternoon and after 7:30 o’clock in the evening, on all days except Saturday and Sunday. One dollar will he paid to the member of the Collegian staff, who writes the best story each week for the paper, according to Professor De Forrest O’Dell, of the journalism department.

date of their acquaintance aa Sep tember, 1922. He told Remy he had been to Stephenson’s office, once since the assault and battery indictment was returned, but denied he had visited Stephenson In the Hamilton County jail. “Have you ever been to the Stephenson home?” "Yes, a few times.” “Did you ever see any women In the Stephenson home?” ‘‘No. Oh, I beg your pardon. I saw a woman once when I understood to be his housekeeper.” “Do you know a girl by the name of Marion Darr?” “No, sir.” Marion Darr for several months did secretarial work for Stephenson, and is expected to he called as a State’s witness on rebuttal testimony. Remy subjected Schultze to a series of questions regarding his subpoena and caught the witness completely off his guard. Schultze had said he was subpoenaed several days ago. and explained that the papers were served on him by Carl Losey, who was dropped from the State motor police force about six weeks ago. Up to this time Remy had drawn nothing from Schultze that would have been of value to the State, but, It was evident by the eagerness with which the State seized upon this fact, that they had discovered something they wanted. “Was that the Carl Losey who used to be a State policeman?” "I'es.” - “Is he now a State policeman?” Judge Sparks sustained the defense's objection to this qu£ry. “Where did you meet Carl Losey?” “Rushville.” “What was he doing?” “Taking part In a liquor Investigation.” “What were you doing there?” “I was organizing the Klan In 1 Rushville.” Judge Interested Judge Sparks, who had been lolling in his chair, sat up straight, and listened closely to the testimony. Rushville is Judge Sparks’ home town. “Did Losey tell you at that time that ‘We must all stick by Steve, and help him out.’ ” “He did not!” “You didn’t receive any money from Stephenson, did you?” “No, sir.” Losey Is secretary of the Laurel Company, which operates a commercial orchard. Judge Is Aroused Threats to clear all spectators from the courtroom for handclapping and to put Attorney Eph Inman and Ralph Kane out of the case for tumultous wrangling were made by Judge Sparks as the morning session opened. Dr. Dallery Ailsitock dentist, of Columbus, Ind., who Friday afternoon testified he talked to Stephenson and Madge Oberholtzer, alleged victim of the trio, early in January in Columbus, and that Madge wanted alcohol, was on the stand for further cross-examination by Kane. The State’s attorney and the witness were arguing over whether Allstock had resigned from the Ku-Klu Klan, of which he was Bartholomew County director under Stephenson, it developed, or whether he had been “kicked out for drunkeness.” “How many times have you been out to Porter’s Camp (near Columbus drunk?” Kane demanded. "lil ask you if on many occasions you haven't been out there on drunks? That Is the reason they kicked you out of the Klan?” shouted Kane. “No!” shouted the witness. Spectators who had been worked up to a high tension by Kane's fierce attack on the witness and defense attorney’s equally fierce objections, clapped their hands and cheered. Raps for Order Judge Sparks rapped sternly for order and _ announced that any further demonstration would result in spectators being ejected and kept out. “Are you still Klan organizer In Bartholomew County,” Kane asked. “No sir, I resigned.” "When was that?” “The first quarter of this year, when my dues ran out. “You were a member of the Stephenson branch of the Klan weren't you?” “Not exactly.” . Inman Angered "And tie ”s another reason they put you otot isn’t it,” bellowed Kane. “They didn’t put him out, he's told you a dozen times,” yelled Inman. The hgbbub of argument and con-

The stories will be judged from the standpoint of news value. Any number of articles may be submitted. Students are anxiously awaiting the performance of an election bet made by Ralph Hitch, a member of the football squad, and Prof. Wood Unger, a member of the English department. Prior to the city election last Tuesday. Hitch, who sponsors the cause of the Republicans, and Professor Unger, who Is known in political circles as an ardent Democrat, Wagered that the loser would ride the winner in a wheelbarrow from the school library around the campus. The bet has not been paid to date, and it is said that the participants are waiting for more suitable weather. Dads of Butler students will have an opportunity to get a real insight into college life Saturday, Nov. 14, when they will be the guests of the students and faculty. Letters of invitation will be sent by President .Robert J. Aley. According to present plans, the fathers will register in the office from 10 to 12 a. nt.. have lunch at the fraternity houses, and attend the ButlerDayton football game at Irwin field in the afternoon.

fusion reached its climax here a.nd Judge Sparks again pounded sor 1 silence. “Gentlemen, I won’t have this, if you want to continue in this case direct your conversation to the court, if not, someone else can handle it. Such performances are undignified and beneath both of you,” Sparks said sternly. The tumult and the shouting promptly died. Clawson Called Dr. Chester 1,. Clawson, Columbus chiropractor whom Allstock said was present at the conversation with Madge and Stephenson, was next on the stand. ‘ Just before Allstock w r as excused Kane asked him who first came to see him about the conversation. "Some gentleman representing Mr. Holmes." Ira M. Holmes Is a defense attorney. “When w'as that?” asked Kane. “Three or four months ago.” "And you went over the whole story with him?” “Not entirely.” “And when did you tell all of tAis for the first time?” At Holmes’ Office “To Mr. Holmes a week ago In his office. I w'as called there by long distance phone. I talked to Mr. Holmes about twenty minutes.” "Was anybody else present.” “Dr. Clawson.” “That Is you. Dr. Clawson and Mr. Holmes got together in Mr. Holmes’ office and talked this case over?” The witness did not reply to suit Kane. “I insist on an answer,” thundered Kane, pnuiw*sng the table with his fist and glaring wildly at the witness. “Yes.” “How much did they agree to pay you?” shouted Kane, i “Not a thing, not one dime.” Dr. Claw'son said he has been acquainted with Stephenson about three years. “Are you acquainted with Madge Oberholtzer?” “Yes, I met her at Columbus some time in January this year.” “We were standing at the comer of Fifth and Washington Sts. and a machine drew up to the curb. A man called out ‘How are you Dor?’ and it was Stephenson and . Miss Oberholtzer was with him.” “Well I talked to Miss Oberholtzer most of the time and we talked about a little bit of everything. Then sjie asked me if it was a very live town, and I told it was about the general run.” “She asked, ‘Can you get hold of good liquor or booze down here?’ and I told her there were several places.” Continuing Clawson said, “She asked me why I couldn’t get some alcohol, and I told her Doc Allstock was a dentist and that he |ought to get it, thinking to turn the joke on Doc.’’ Clawson said Stephenson remonstrated when she persisted In having Claw'son procure some alcohol, and that Stephenson said: “That’s enough of that.” Cross-Examination On cross-examination, Remy drew from Clawson the statement that he first met Stephenson at a meet ing on College Ave., Indianapolis and that during the 1925 Legislature, he saw Stephenson on an average of once a w r eek. He said Stephenson was helping him on a bill to license chiropractors. This measure failed in the Legislature. Remy subjected Claw'son to severe memory test, finding it accurate on the Stephenson-Oberholtzer automobile trip to Columbus, but rather hazy on subsequent occurrences. “You have a sort of moonshine memory, haven’t you Doctor?” Remy asked him. Judge Sparks sustained an outcry of objections from the defense table. In general. Clawson’s story’ of the incident tallied with that of Dr. Allstock. Despite the defense's failure Friday to Inject the testimony of Mrs. Cora H. Householder, 5850 Beechwood Ave., Irvington, it is believed another effort will be made later. In excluding her testimony Friday Judge Sparks indicated that the defense could find a different means of Including this testimony. She said she had been married twenty years, that her husband, from whom she separated Christmas day, 1924, Charles Householder, was a former city fireman, and that she had known Madge Oberholtzer for the past eighteen years. She said she lived three blocks from the Oberholtzer home. Mrs. Householder said that her husband was well acquainted with Madge, and that he lived at the Oberholtzer home at one time. State attorneys objected to part of her testimony. The Jury was

taken from the room, so the defense could explain to the judge the theory of attacking Madge’s reputation. Klansmen Heard Dr. Allstock late Friday told the defense that Stephenson and Madge motored to Columbus one evening during the 1925 Legislature and that Madge Insisted on Ailstock’s procuring some grain alcohol so they could make some gin. He said he saw Madge another time In Stephenson's office. Kane tried to force Dr. Ailstock to state definitely the time Steuhenson and Madge w'ere at Columbus, but lie refused to commit liimself. Ailstock said he was talking with Dr. Clawson when Stephenson and Madge drew up in the former’s big automobile. Four deputy sheriffs, who testified In behalf of KUnck, who was also a deputy last March, accounted for his activities on St. Patrick’s day, March 17, the day the dying statement says he carried Madge into her home. The four, William Anderson, Frank Kempf, James Carter and Leonard Koffell, said Klinck took prisoners to the Indiana State Farm, near Greencastle that morning, leaving at 7:30 and getting back at 11:30. He went in the Sheriff's Hudson automobile. Klinck Identified Mrs. Eunice Shultz, who rooms with her son, a Butler College Instructor. at the Oberholtzer home, las': week identified Klinck as the “Mr, Johnson of Kokomo,” who carried Madge In the house and laid her on her bed. “How long have you known Klinck,” Remy asked Kempf. f “About two years.” “Where did he live?” “I don’t know,” said Kempf. “Did you see KUnck around the Legislature last winter?” ”1 never was at the Legislature while It was in session? I was busy at the jail.” “On March 18, what prisoners left the Jail?” “I -don’t know. I was in the cellhouse that day.” Kempf didn’t remember what prisoners were taken to the farm on March 18, 19, 20, 21 or 22. Judge Halts Remy Judge Sparks halted Remy. “I remember what happened on March 17,” explained Kempf. "Because one fellow got fifteen months on the farm for robbery, and his two buddies got ten to twenty-one years and there was a lot of talk about It. I also remember It, because It was St. Patrick’s day.” Anderson also remembered March 17, because It was St. Patrick’s Day. He could not remember however, details of what happened on the Fotrlh of July, Christmas Day and Thanksgiving. “What were you doing on GeOrge Washington's birthday?” asked Remy. Anderson scratched his head as he gazed at the prosecutor with a smile on his Ups. “That was on a Sunday. Yon taught a Sunday School class that day, and I wm In the class, Mr. Remy, don’t you remember that?” Remy scratched his head, pulled out a pocket calendar and said, "You’re right.” “You’re both exonerated,” said Judge Sparks.

POLICE LEADER FAVORABLE TO CITY MANAGER Post-Election Shake-Up Is Cited as Example of InEfficiency. The usual after-election stir over police appointment was cited today as an example of the political spoils system inefficiency, city manager movement leaders. Police, it is said were a big factor in election of John L. Duvall, as mayor. During his administration Chief Herman F. Rlkhoff, a Shank appointee, has objected to political Interference. “The police department should not be tampered with by party bosses. If the city manager was not a politician and the department was removed from politics, police work would be greatly aided.” Rlkhoff said. The customary shake-up of the nine captains, fifteen lieutenants and twenty-five sergeants is expected when Duvall takes office Jan. 1. Only one or two of the officers above sergeants will retain their present rank. It is believed. DANVILLE WRECK VICTIMS BETTER Congressman Updike Discharged From Hospital.
