STEPHENSON CASE ARGUMENT IS STARTED

Remy Reads Dying Story Piece by Piece and Cites Substantiation. (Continued From Page 1) kind of a girl tliey said she was she would have gone to a hospital as his wife, or would have married him. Clean, Decent Girl "No, Madge Oberholtzer was not that kind of a girl. She was a clean, decent, honorable girl, who had been trapped by these fiends, and wouldn’t have anything more to do with them,’’ said Remy in a triumphant shout. "That’s to her everlasting honor.” At intervals during • his speech Remy would advance to the counsel table and shake his fist in challenge to defense attorneys. "Where is Shorty De Friese? (Stephenson’s chauffeur on the trip.) Where’s Shorty De Friese! He would make the greatest witness in the world for the defense, if this story wasn’t true. Where Is Shorty today? Answer, Mr. Inman or Mr. Holmes or whoever is going to make the argument,” the prosecutor said, pausing before the defense table. “I’d believe Mrs. Schultz before ten thousand Rigdons,” Remy said at another point, "The State has the testimony of witnesses who don’t belong to any gang, testimony of witnesses not hired by Madge Oberholtzer —who are working for their living, a railroad conductor, Pullman porter, railroad men, hotel men. Flays Holmes "Oh yes,” said Remy, remembering something, "Mr. Holmes you asked the hotel clerk Ayres, If he had not been paid to testify, and If he had not told a man named Rosen. The question you asked Ayres was Just a dirty insinuation against Lee Ayres, Mr. Holmes, but you didn’t dare back it up, you didn’t produce Rosen, you didn’t dare back it up. Remy thundered at Holmes, who sat in his chair looking straight ahead, as If not hearing the charge. Remy turned to the testimony of Levi Thomas, porter on the Pullman car in which she was conveyed to Hammond. “And the girl said 'Oh dear, put the gun up,’’ and Remy again walked ove rto Inman and shook his head in Inman’s face as he eyed him. “Put I’m coming to that later," Remy said as he stopped himself and turned to another subject. "And the testimony of Beatrice Spratley, the nurse. And the men who were summoned to Madge Oberholtzer’s bedside —the best Indiana had. Men who made a monkey out of Eph Inman when he tried to cross question them. “Madge Oberholtzer had beaten the poison and had it Hot been for the supturation that set in, she would have lived. "Dr. Virgil H. Moon, professor of pathology at the Indiana University School of Medicine, the school where half the defense’s medical witnesses CUT THIS OUT—IT IS WORTH.

Allen of 26 Forbes St., Rochester, N. Y„ suffered for years with rheumatism. Many times this terrible disease left him helpless uud unable to work. He finally decided, after years of ceaaelesß study, that no one can be free from rheumatism until the accumulated impurities, commonly called uric acid deposits, were dissolved in the Joints and muscles and expelled from the body. With this idea la mind he consulted physicians, made experiments and finally compounded a prescription that quickly and completely banished every sign and symptom of rheumatism from his system. He freely gave his discovery, which he called ALLENRHU, to others who took It, with what might be called marvelous success. After years of urging b* decided to let sufferers everywhere know about his discovery through the newspapers. He - has therefore instructed Hook’s Dependable Drug Stores, Haag Drug Company, Goldsmith's Drug Stores and druggists everywhere to dispense ALLENRHU with the understanding that If the first ptnt bottle does not show the way to complete recovery he will gladly return tour money without comment.—Advertisement.

Too Tired To Go Out Nights? Beware of Chronic Fatigue

Thousand* of mm and women think that la because they work too hard that they are “all-in” every evening—too tired to go out to a show, or to play with their children —when In the great majority of cases the real cause of their weak, worn-out feeling Is that they ate victims of chronic fatigue. Don’t confuse chronic fatigue with the “healthy” fatigue you feel after vigorous exercise. Chronic fatigue comes from within.

graduated. Dr. Moon, recognized officially by the county offlcei\whose duty it was to arrange the autopsy said that wound, that wound on her breast, that abscess on her lung, was brought on by the fang of D. C. Stephenson. "Remember how Dr. Harger modestly and unassumingly sat here on this stand .and answered those rapidfire questions? They not only were expert, but they were experts on this case. Shotgun Defease “Well, there was a defense. Not a well organized defense. Not a straightforward defense. It was a sort of shotgun defense. "And the defense said ‘We’ll get Eph Inman, and sometime he’ll catch a witness and we’ll prove an alibi.’ I’ve handled more than half a hundred murder cases and this is the first time I ever saw a defense that didn’t know what its defense was going to be—-didn’t . even give an opening statement. "The State of Indiana made its opening statement, told the Jury what its case was going to be; even told who Its witnesses were going to be.” Striding over to a point near the defense table, Remy faced the defendants and their group of attorneys and shouted in their ears, “If you had a defense, why did you chrtnge the defendants, day by day, from chair to chair, and why did you, Mr. Holmes, sit in front of one of the defendants until you had to be moved? "Why the evidence show's that Earl Klinck was a deputy sheriff and the prisoners didn’t even li’now him. He was a deputy sheriff assigned to the particular service of I). C. Stephenson, the man who .said he was the law In Indiana, and Marion County paid the hill, "Doesn’t that Klinck alibi show the way th& wind blows? Doesn’t that show them up? I’ll say that It shows them up,” Remy declared laughing dramatically, "They tried to alibi Klinck, No Defense "If they had a defense, why did they try to explain things the way they did? Madge Oberholtzer tells you how she got those wounds and It Isn’t denied in the evidence, “They had to admit the trip; they had to admit the wounds; they had to admit It all so they fell back no the suicide theory, "Oh, that was shameful, Mr. Inman, to bring cut such kind of testimony. "Stephenson’s own personal physician, who had treated him ■ for alcoholism—that expert, lie tried to (ell you that It didn’t hurt her to ride from Hammond to In. dlanapolis, in an automobile, that it didn’t hurt her to spend the night In a garage, because nothing could have helped her. That’s what they want you to believe, "Dr, William gives up too quickly. A good doctor doesn’t do that. He hangs on to the end, like a orlmlnal lawyer in a desperate ease who hangs on until the last ray of hope is gone. "Then tliey started In to write the blackest page in tills case. It was the last resort. The best toxicologist* in Indianapolis had testified for the State and they had to do something, They started In to blacken that girl’s character, and they used some mighty good blackening." Remy then reviewed for tha Jury, the cross-examination of the defense witnesses who apepared to tell of Madge’s acquaintance with Stephenson, No Dates "There was Dr. Allstoek —by the way, the only time the defense fixed a definite date was in the Klinck alibi. They didn’t dare fix dates. You knew we’d blow you out of watew if you did," screamed Remy. "We did blow you out of the water that time, and you never tried it hgain, Mr. Inman,” Remy made the rafters ring. At other times ho would lower his voice so that only the Jury could hear what was said. He was unsparing of the defendants and their attorneys, hurling bitter charges at them time after time. At other times he became sarcastic, especially when he would frequently quote tha now famous phrase, "I am the law in Indiana,” or "I have been in a worse mess and got out.” "There was Allstack, a Klan organizer under Stephenson. There was Mrs. Bohultze, who said she had never been in Btephenson’H home. A few moments later her husband took the stand, and It developed he was an organizer under Htephehson, and he said his wife had been In Stephenson’s home, and that he had taken her there himself. Calls Higdon Loafer "Then there was Rlgdon, another defense* witness. Anything nobody else would testify to. he would. Loafing around the Legislature; In Stephenson’s office every day. Interested he said. In watching politicians manipulate the Legislature. There In Stephenson’s office with Klinck, a deputy sheriff of Marion County paid by the people.

Chosen Inspector of Police

Arthur R. McGee, named police Inspector by Mayor-Elect Jolrn L. Duvall. peered to blacken the girl’s character. My goodness, what an array. Straider, Stephenson’s former secretary, who has been at tee trial every day, but one, why they didn’t produce anybody, but the gang to testify against this girl and that was when all else had been blown to the winds. Maxine Elliott, Stephenson’s stenographer, in the office every day, told of seeing Madge there, but contradicted the others, she in that office every day, never saw Madge there until January, she said.” At this point Remy stopped for noon recess. Court took an hour for lunch, and resumed at 1 p. m. Remy began talking shortly before 10 a. m., after Judge Sparks had ordered argument to start. Remy Confident Without any preliminaries, Remy rose from his chair, strode across the floor with the confidence of a field marshal, straightened his slender body and faced the Jury, a congenial smile on his face. In his characteristically low but audible voice, he said: “Gentlemen of the Jury, we’ve had some rather trying days. We’ve had to give unsparingly of our precious time. “The State has done its duty In this case to the best of its ability. It is now for th£ Jury to determine whether the evidence against D. C. Stephenson, Earl Klinck and Earl Gentry has removed beyond a reasonable doubt the question of their guilt.” Remy paused, took one step toward the three defendants and glared at them. He then returned hia attention to the jurymen. Fair Trial "I don’t know of any case in the history of Indiana, in the entire history of jurisprudence, where the defense has had a fairer trial, a fairer judge. I know the State is satisfied. "I'm going to speak to you briefly. Brevity/ in the law means nothing. The delay and delay and delay in the law by artifice and all those other cunning means —” Although Klinck and Gentry, were listening Intently to what Remy said, Stephenson wrote furiously on a scratch pad, held on his knee. A sneer played on his countenance. Reads Law After reading the definition of first degree murder as set out In the Indiana statutes, Remy, laying the book aside, again faced the Jury. "G>t'ntlemen, Madge Oberholtzer is dead. She would be alive today were it not for the unlawful act of D. C. Rtephenson, Earl Klinck and Earl Gentry. They have destroyed her body and have tried to destroy Iter soul, and In the last few days they have tried to dishonor her morals.” Already Remy had reached the heat of his argument, and was swinging his body to and fro, as he became more and more elquent. “Oh! They didn’t- attack her character directly—they didn’t dare do that. They knew if they tried it they would open the very flood gate of evidence. So they tried it by innuendo. All the means they had at their command, however few. they tried,” Remy shouted fervently. “Their own private little coterie of men who frequented Stephenson’s home, and who received their appointment at Stephenson’s hand —those were the men tliey put on the stand. Because they could find no others.” Waving the dying declaration of Madge Oberholtzer, Remy cried .out: “Madge Oberholtzer's story still stands untarnished!” Packed Audience Remy was appearing before the largest audience that has been in the courtroom thus far. The tiny room was lterally packed. “Her dying declaration is before you again with corroborating and supporting evidence from witness after - witness', creditable witnesses,” Remy continued. ’’lt stands not only with the solemnity of the declaration of a person who faces certain death, it still stands, most of it not even denied. They didn’t dare deny it.” Taking the copy of the dying declaration from his desk, the prosecutor read It sentence by sentence to the Jury, touching oh the State’s evidence and giving his argument on each point. “ ‘I first met David C. Stephenson Jan. 12.’ That is corroborated by the best evidence the State could possibly have brought here, the man who introduced Madge Oberholtzer to Stephenson. “Soon a Mr. Gentry came for me,” Remy read, then said: - Proved by Mother “This part is corroborated by the telephone company who identified the telephone, number as Stephenson’s number. It is corroborated by Mrs. Oberholtzer and by the fact

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

that Madge left her home with some friend. If Mrs. Oberholtzer has wanted to tell untruths in this case she could just have named the man. “I was afraid not to drink the liquor and took three small drinks.” “This is corroborated by Levi Thomas, porter on the Pullman car, who said she was ill and Vomited in the Pullman drawing room.” Remy then read the part about where Stepheneon said he was going to Chicago and wanted Madge to go with him, but that she objected. Feared Mann Act “They didn't go to Chicago,” Remy said. “No, if they had gone to Chicago they would have crossed the State line In a railroad train and that would have violated the Federal law. and even D. C. Stephenson doesn’t think he lsthe law In the whole United States. He limits himself, I hope, to Indiana.” The prosecutor then touched on the part ofthe declaration concerning the revolver Stephenson carried and how cartridges were found In the hotel, saying this part was not denied by anyone. "Culbertson, the clerk of the Washington Hotel, says he made reservations for tickets In Stephenson's name. This is not even denied by any person in this case," Remy said. Madge "Forced” Remy then took up the argument as to whether Madge went voluntarily on the party. “That Gentry was ta en at the last minute, gentlemen of the Jury, these men who are trying to escape the consequences of their act, at the last minute, come here and ask you to believe that Madge Oberholtzer went voluntarily on this trip. Ask them to explain why Gentry had to be in the stateroom, if it was that kind of a party.” Advancing to the defense table and shaking nis fist at the crowd of attorneys and defendants, Remy yelled: “Explain that Mr. Inman, if you can. Explain that, any of you men, why Gentry had to be taken along, if this was a voluntary- excursion on Madge Oberholtzer’s part. If it was a voluntary excursion, why didn’t they let her get her hat? "The conductor picked out Klnick as the man who gave him the tickets. Even if Klinck was sitting behind twenty-five persons, who were shifting around continually Klinck couldn't hide any more than Gentry could hide behind Holmes while a witness was looking for him.” Trip to Station Remy touched on the trip to the station and Madge's statement that Stephenson and Gentry sat beside her in the auto. "The only man who denied this is a man who went out on the street to buy a newspaper. He saw a woman on March 15 sitting iu a sedan with the window down. He had never met the woman but once in a hotel. That was when she asked him to locate a man for her. A man who said ‘l’ve never talked to Mr. Holmes or a living soul about this case until I took the stand.’ “Mr. Holmes is a pretty smart lawyer, but he is no mind reader. Mr. Holmes, the man who tried to give the alibi for Klinck, is generally pretty sure of what his witness will say. Why, It’s ridiculous. Ro much for that witness.” The jury paid strict attention to what the prosecutor said. On occasions the spectators laughed at Remy’s irony and they were gaveled into silence by Judge Sparks. “He said he was the law in Indiana,” Remy read. “That’s what he told Madge Oberholtzer and circumstances surrounding this case must lead every thinking man in the State to think that he was the law, and sometimes I, myself, think he was the law—that is, in some places. I don't believe D. C. Stephenson is, was, or ever _ will be the law In Hamilton County—at least he must know It by this time. "He bit her, attacked her, • * * And it isn't denied by any evidence in the case, gentlemen of the jury.” Remy was relating a coherent story of the case from Its beginning until the hour of her death step by step. He turned to time when Madge Oberholtzer, after her harrowing experience was returned to her home. "Not knowing about Mrs. Rchultz being at home, Kliiu'k brought her there. Didn’t knock Just opened the door—hut Mrs. Schultz was there. Providence—"And Klinck. caught, turned his head one way and then the other to avoid recognition. Told her, ‘l’m Mr. Johnson of Kokomo. She’d got hurt in an automobile accident!’ "And Klintk wants you to believe he took prisoners to the Indiana State Farm and got back 11 o'clock the same morning. Oh, if the Marion County sheriff’s office had shown such speed when I). C. Stephenson was under indictment, and was being sought—and Stephenson on a fishing frolic —and they later found him conveniently waiting in his officearmed.” Paraphrasing Madge's allegations in the deathbed statement Remy con. tinued: “Took her off a train at Hammond. Stephenson threatened to shoot her. She said ’I saw the conductor.’ And that conductor, standing right there, picked them out, first one and then other. "Oh, they tried and tried and tried to break down that identification some way, and they couldn’t do it. She begged Stephenson to wire her mother. The first thing she thought of was her mother.” Remy fondled the original telegram, the office copy and the delivered message. He walked over to Inman and flicked them in Inman's face. Leaning forward Remy said, "W ien we produced these telegrams Mr. Inman’s face got so long his chin tore a hole in bis shirt,” stamping his feet. liemy then procured the sheet from the register of the Indiana Hotel at Hammond, which bore the signatures of W. D. Morgan and wife, Franklin, and Earl Gentry, Indianapolis. "And when those hotel clerks

cime in her they sold There’* one and there’s the other.” Gentry "Norse Maid” Remy read extracts from the dying statement where Miss Oberholtzer said, "Gentry put hot towela on me, and bathed my wounds in witch hazel.” "Now, wasln’t that kind of Gentry? Gentry, the nursemaid, tenderly ministering unto the wounds of Madge Oberholtzer in that hotel,” Remy cried out In mock seriousness. Again Remy read from the dying statement: "Stephenson said he was sorry, but that he was three degrees less than a brute. I said he was worse than that.’ "I guess there’s no controversy about that.” Remy declared. "She had lost everything that a good woman had. When she got her hat she knew Just what she was going to do. “Stephenson and hia quart of milk! Oh, how they have camped on that quart of milk!” Sur-rebuttal of the defense this morning was brief. Defense attorneys first asked half an hour for the purpose of rounding up their witnesses. Eph Inman and Ira Holmes, helmsmen of the defense craftr told Judge Sparks that their witnesses had been obliged to travel a considerabled istance, and asked the court’s lndul* gence for a half hour. Judge Sparks acquiesced, but re* plied: "I’ve ridden about as far as the witnesses.” Sparks, who has been spending his entire time in Noblesville, went to Rushville. his home town, Wednesday night to attend a function given by the Bible class over which he presides. Frank Stone, 25, 1129 Larch St., Indianapolis, automobile race driver, was the first witness. He testified in sur-rebuttal for the defense that two days prior to the Governor's inaugural banquet he was In Mr. Stephenson's office *and saw Stanley Hill and Madge Oberholtzer there. The three were discussing plans for the seating arrangement at the banquet. * On cross-examination Attorney Cox* accused the witness of having been in the employ of Stephenson as a whiskey runner from Florida to Indianapolis. This the witness denied. Despite the rain a large crowd jammed the courtroom at 9 o'clock impatient to hear the "pleadings.” "Mr. Stone are you acquainted with D. C. Stephenson,” asked Eph Inman chief defense attorney. "I am, I have known him somewhere in the neighborhood of three years.” "Ever work In connection with Klan headquarters?” “I did. indirectly. I had charge of the shipment of supplies.” "‘Stone, have you ever met Stanley Hill?” v "I have." Testified Wednesday Stanley Hill was chairman of *he committee in charge of the Governor’s inaugural ball and banquet the night of Jan. 12 at th 6 Indianapolis Athletic Club. Appearing Wednesday as a State rebuttal witness. Hill testified that Madge Oberholtzer was his guest at the banquet and on that fateful occasion he introduced her to Stephenson. Hill’s testimony was offered to strengthen the same statement in Madge’s dying declaration, and to refute defense testimony that Stephenson and Madge went around together in 1924. “Did you ever see Madge Oberholtzer?” “I have. I saw her in Mr. Stephenson’s office.” Dr. Roecoe Carpenter, Indianapolis, head of the Cavalier Motion Picture Company, was the last witness in sur-rebuttal. He said the David C. Stephenson did not own any stock in his company, as testified Wednesday by Ralph Roudebush, a State witness. No More Witnesses / As no more defense witnesses were present, Judge Sparks ordered the arguments to begin. Attorney Ira M. Holmes then presented Judge Sparks with typewritten Instructions which the defense wish given the jury. They were 161 In number. The prosecution will also offer their ideas on instructions. Judge Sparks will glv© such as he thinks necessary. Blasted Story Roudebush had blasted the testimony of two defense witnesses Dr. Valley Ailstock. and Dr. Chester L. Claws >n, both of Columbus, who had testified that one night in January they had talked with Stephenso- in Columbus and that Miss Oberholtzer was with Stephenson at that time. Roudebush had stoutly denied the presence of any woman in Stephenson’s automobile on the night in question. Rebuttal Closed The State closed its rebuttal suddenly Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 after a record crowd of spectators had waited through a two hour recess. When court reconvened after the noon hour, Judge Sparks announced anew recess to 3 p. m. to enable Remy to gather his witnesses. Roudebush was the final witness. Roudebush, a poultry man living near Noblesvllle, declared he was In Columbus the*night of Jan. 14 or 15 and saw Stephenson and Dr. Vallery Ailstock on the street. Dr. Ailstock had previously testified that Miss Oberholtzer was in .Stephenson's company this night. Roudebush said he stopped and talked with Stephenson and did not see any woman in his automobile. I'ni the Law Asked what he discussed with Stephenson, Roudebush said: "Well I Mr. Stephenson about some stock I'd bought in the Cavalier Motion Picture Company. He said he guessed the company had fallen through and he said, ‘lt's no use to complain. You know I’m the law in Indiana and I’ve got the money to back me up—so what can you do?’ ” Roudebush said he did not see Dr. Chester L. Clawson, a Columbus chiropractor, who testified he was along when Stephenson, Mias Oberholtzer and Ailstock were together.

Mason. ‘‘Did you talk with Captain Gerhard! of the Navy, Sept. 4, 1925, at Lakewood, N. J.?" she was asked. "I did.” "Did you say to him then that the things in the papers quoting you as criticising the Navy Department, and officials were lies?” "I did not.” Denial Qualified "Did you deny newspaper statements quoting you?” "I only denied that I had sal'd the Secretary of the Navy was a murderer. I only denied that I criticised the secretary personally.” "Did you tell a newspaper reporter that Commander Lansdowne had made no protest against the Shenandoah flight?” "No, I said he had made official protests against making the flight.” “At the time he called on me, Captain Foley said he wanted to impress me with the importance of the court,” she went on. “He said it had all the powers that a Federal Court had. “I said I did not wish to make any statement before I went before the court. He kept insisting that I tell nlm what I had on n.y mind. Insist on Facts "Despite the denial by Secretary of the Navy Wilbur I told him that the official correspondence showed that my husband protested against ( the flight. That official Correspondence was gone over.” At the insistence of Moreland, Mrs. Lansdowne named Mrs. George W. Steele, wife of "the commander of the Lakhurst (N. J.) station as the woman who delivered the “fals* statement” to her. "There wa3 nothing in that statement to show that it came from Captain Foley or the Navy Department, except the Governmen water mark,” Mrs. Lansdowne said. "Was there any sign on the paper?” asked MaJ. Gen. William S. Graves. “No, sir.” RAILWAY COMPANY WINS Federal Jury Returns Verdict for Defendant in Suit.
