DUNGAN BLAMES ATTORNEYS FOR CRIME INCREASE Freedom Hope Held Out to Violators by Lawyers, Flayed by Clerk. Bv United Pres* CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Jan. I.—Solution of the crime wave sweeping not only Indiana but the Nation today was placed squarely before the country's lawyers by Zach T. Dungan, Indiana Supreme Court clerk. Addressing the Montgomery County Bar Association here yesterday, Dungan declared that if the lawyers made the effort, crime would be halted. Such a check could be acconilfiHshed, Dungan said, if attorneys would refuse to appeal cases in which they realized their clients guilty. Hope of ultimate fieedom held out to criminals by some members of the bar, was cited as one of the reasons for the increase In crime. Records Cited Dungan pointed to the) fact that In every great 'crisis it ha3 been the lawyers upon who the government has called for aid. Dungan cited records of his office to Show enormous Increase in crime in Indiana as revealed by the records of the Supreme Court, Dungan said. "One of the reasons for the enormous increase is the tremendous jump in the number of criminal cases appealed.” 700 Per Cent .Jump "There has been an increase of more than 700 per cent in the number of criminal cases appealed since 1918. During 1918, twenty-four cases were appealed, while in 1924, 190 were taken .to the Supreme Court. There are now more than 300 cases pending before the court.” Dungan also brought out that the docket of the court in May, 1918, showed twenty-seven criminal cases pending while the docket for May, 1925, showed 224 cases. More than two-thirds of these appeals were liquor law cases, he said.
No More Laws “It is not fqt me to say,” Dungan declared, "what is the cause of this great wave of crime and increased criminal litigation but statistics show that in 1920 there were 3,011 persons in the Federal prisons while during 1925, just five years later, there were 5,460.” Pointing to the fact that, lawyers are conceded to be the greatest power in any community he said>He is looked upon by the children, by the mother and by the father as one who "knows.” His frame of mind in the people’s barometer. He can stampede them or he can lead and steady them. Declaring that the old remedy of “there ought to be a law to regulate it” will not work, Dungan said; The country has -more laws than it knows how to enforce and hasn’t even "made much headway with the Ten Commandments let alone the two millions 'fctatutes enacted by Congress and The Legislatures.” auto struck ibytrain A Belt railroad engine struck the automobile of C. B. Foster, 50 N. Bolton Ave., today a,t Belt railroad and Tenth St. Foster’s sen, 3, was cut by glass. B. M. Jordan, 2505 Station St., engineer was slated on assault and battery charges.
CLEAN UP DUE IN COURTHOUSE With the condemnation Thursday by the county grand jury of the condition of the Courthouse, Cassius L. Ilogle, county commissioner, today declared thst the place will get a thorough cleanlng-up. Henry Fleming, Negro, former city hall custodian, has been named Courthouse custodian. “We think it a disgrace the condition in which the Courthouse is kept, especially the grounds,” said the jurors in their report. The report said that the former custodian complained that he did not receive sufficient funds to prqcure good help. The grand jurors also said they believed it would be a great mistake to spend much money in • remodeling.

NEW COPS MAY NOT LAST LONG, CITY HALL TALK Many Charges Cited by Which Duvall Can Oust v ‘Legacy.’ John L. Duvall, mayor-elect, who will take office Jap. 4, will not submit tamely to Mayor Shank’s recent political maneuvers, during which more than 100 policemen, street commissioner’s department workers and park department staffs were "willed” as a legacy to the incoming chief executive. This was the report In political circles today. There are no funds for payment of eighty-four policemen under the 1926 budget, but the law states policemen may be discharged only after conviction on charges before the board of safety. Blany Charge* Possible But there are many charges possible under which most any policeman might be guilty. These include: Profanity, discussing politics or religion while in uniform, sitting down while on patrol duty and numerous other minor offenses. However, it was believed city councllmen-elect, who have showed dSMded leanings toward the policemen, will vote an additional appropriation to pay salaries, unintiuded in the budget. Duvall may yield to a Coffin drive to unseat Edward Rochat as street commissioner, it was said. May End In Courts Observers believe the park board situation will end in the courts. Members are determined to remain on the Job and the report is that Duvall's present attitude is to remove them. Fourteen persons in the assessments bureau and parks department left office today because their offices were abolished under the new budget. The new board of works will meet Monday,s Wednesdays and Fridays at 2 p. m., as did the retiring board, Roy C. Shaneberger, president announced.
