GRAND JURORS PROBE SCANDAL (Continued From Page 1) what corroboration or facts we must get from him,” Remy said. Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom conferred with Remy this morning. Charles Henderson, attorney for Adams was also in Remy's office. ‘‘l offered my services to Remy as attorney general of Indiana. Gilliom said." I am going to assist to the fullest extent possible.” Collins Instructs Jury Following a conference with Remy, Criminal Judge James A. Collins ordered the grand jury before him and announced he wished to give -them instructions. Judge Collins made this statement to the grand jury: "It becomes my duty after you are impanelled and sworn to instruct you as to your duty and to call your attention to the order of business ..s provided for by law. ‘‘Under the third specification of the order of business you are directed by statute to inquire into v.illfull and corrupted conduct in of.ico of public officers of every de- - cription, and into any charge of extortion preferred against any such officers and,, in the fifth specification, into the violation of the criminal laws of this State generally, of which this court has jurisdiction. ‘‘Serious charges have been made against public 'Officers through the public press by one Thomas Adams, an editor. These charges have to do, as reported to the public press, of former political activities of one D. C. Stephenson, who was indicted by a former grand jury of this county, charged with murder in the first degree and, upon n change of venue to Hamilton Circuit Court, was found guilty and sentenced to the Indiana State Prison for life. ‘‘These charges should be given your fullest consideration, and to

MR. CARL SIMS
Man a few days ago at Hook's drug store, Pennsylvania and Market Sts., Indianapolis, where crowds of people are calling daily to find out about this remarkable new corrlpound. Mr. Sims has been with the Indianapolis fire department over five years, stationed at Engine Company No. 32, Broad Ripple. Ilia report about tho work of Konjola will be of interest to any person suffering with stomach trouble. “I had to quit my work for 3 months,” said Mr. Sims. “My stomach got so bad I thought I couldn’t stand the misery any longer. A gas pressure would form around my heart, and terrible cramping spells would come over me. Every day I had a headache. My food would sour and ferment. Knots would form on either side of my stomach. My liver was sluggish, so that I became dizzy and light headed, always had a bitter taste in my mouth, and nothing I took in the way of laxatives would really end the constipation trouble. “I kept reading about Konjola and thought I would try it. It certainly acted in a quick manner. I found my constipation was actually conquered. My stomach began to improve, and very shortly I could eat anything put on the table. Now 1 have enjoyed my meals and good health for several months, so I know that the relief Konjola gives is lasting. I have no more headaches, dizzy feelings or indigestion spells. 1 am relieved of the cramps and knots in my stomach, and my liver seems to be perfect. I am back on duty again, feeling better than I have in many a day. All the credit goes to Konjola, and I don’t hesitate to indorse this medicine.” Konjola is non-alcoholic. It is different than any medicine previously known. Where many ordinary rem•—Jl’ 7 or 8 herbal in gredients, which merely act as a laxative, this new Konjola contains twenty-two juices extracted from natural plants which invigorate the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels to more healthy action. The effect of Konjola on the whole Inner system brings amazing relief in cases of suffering that had been going on for years. At the same time many sick and rundown systems have been restored to anew state of health through the use of this compound. Such a vast number of men and women in this city have benefited by taking -Konjola, until now it has become the most highly indorsed medicine that is known in this vicinity. The Konjola man is at Hook’s drug store, Pennsylvania and Market Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the local public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola is sold by every Hook store in Indianapolis and by all good druggists in the nearby towns throughout this section. —Advertisement.
that end you will during the next two weeks, and longer if necessary, devote your entire time to the consideration of the hearing of j evidence in support of these charges. “The prosecuting attorney will provide you with a list of witnesses, including I). C. Stephenson, who can and will be brought before your body at the proper time and upon the proper order. To Keep Record “The official reporter of this court will be directed to be present at the session and make a record of all the proceedings. “At the conclusion of your investigation you will return to this court a true presentment of all felonies and misdemeanors committed triable within this county of which you shall have, or can obtain, legal evidence; you will present no person through malice, hatred or ill-will or leave any unpresented through fear, favor or affection or for any reward or the promise or hope thereof, but in all your indictments you will present the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. “I further direct that at the conclusion of all these proceedings that you make a full and complete report of these matters relating to these charges that in your opinion should be presented to the public.” Members of the grand jury are: Wilson Furnas. Bridgeport, foreman, William Webb, 1816 W. Washington St.; Holary Morris, 6045 Ashland Ave.; Herman F. Sprandel, 1135 Central Ave.; Otis Calvin, 5262 Central Ave., and Joseph C. Schaff, Columbia Club. In the meantime Stephenson was in his cell at Michigan City, and attorneys for Herbert Wilson, receiver for the Hoosier Tailors, Inc., were considering new moves in their effort to obtain from him a statement as to his assets. Warden Walter H. Daly Saturday refused to honor a court order of Superior Judge Sidney S. Miller ordering that Stephenson be brought here. Warden Stands Pat Although Thomas V. Miller of Muncie, Stephenson's attorney, conferred with him Saturday in regard to appeal of the murder verdict against him, newspaper men have been denied interviews at the prison. Governor Jackson and pardon board officials have refused permits to see the prisoner. Attorney General Gilliom Sunday wired to A. R. Ersldne of South Bend, president of the Studebaker Corporation, promising a full investigation of the Stephenson charges. Gilliom said, in 1 his wire, that he had asked Judge Collins to instruct the grand jury to investigate the matter. Erskine Saturday wired Adams congratulating him on the investigation his committee has been making and offering to head a committee to raise a fund to pay expenses of the probe. Erskine also wired Gilliom asking him to act. In l’esponsc to a request from Gilliam, Governor Jackson said he would defer appointment of a special committee to investigate the Stephenson charges pending the grand jury investigation. Jackson conferred this morning with Zell C. Swaim, secretary of the State Senate at the last session. Swaim would be secretary if a special session of the State Senate, as suggested by Adams, is called. Swaim refused to divulge the nature of the conference with the Governor. Adams’ Broadside Declaring his views and motives were misrepresented by Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom in a statement issued Sunday, Adams early today delivered another broadside in the direction of Indiana officialdom. Declaring Gilliom’s statement was a “tart, If not almost insulting, wire to hig fellow citizen, who was interested at heart in aiding clean government,” Adams assailed Gilliom’s failure to act In the past. “I have not refused to cooperate with the attorney general,” Adams said. “On the contrary, the probe committee asked his assistance In May, but he said it was not within the functions of his office. “What the committee wanted then was to tell him the alarming things that slowly trickled through to us concerning misgovernment in Indiana. “In his telegram to Mr. Erskine,

Mr. Gilliom uses thi3 language: ‘He (Adams) states publicly he will not submit any matters to grand juries until he has driven from public life all who are the objects of his scorn. 1 Denies Statement “I never made any such statement publicly or privately. On the contrary I gave an interview this morning in which I stated that 1 did not intend that any innocent man should suffer. I never attacked any innocent man. “He states, ‘the office of the attorney general will not be misused by offering cooperation in any such enterprise.’ The use of this expression ‘enterprise’ means that the press of Indiana and the nation is making a bargain counter of of sensation and that the press dare not fight for clean government and honest administration in public affairs. “We have repeatedly denounced the masked authority that lurked in the shadows to restrain freedom emasculate liberty and commit crime. “The probe committee only fights for justice and right. And Oil per cent of the people are indorsing our stand. I will not be silenced nor bluffed by Gilliom’s insults that our probe committee is a cheap enterprise that can be bantered about by party poiltics. “It is ridiculous that Gilliom should so suddenly act and insult us all by his innuendo. His attack on me is only tp embarass me and hamper and belittle our investigation. Efforts Blocked “Has Judge Collins so far forgotten his duty to the people that he must be prompted by an attorney general? Again, does the prosecuting attorney need requests from the attorney general? He states that he* will have Adams and all others claiming to have information before the grand jury. We have repeatedly stated in the press that the real information is under the direction of Stephenson and we have endeavored earnestly to get our information to present to the constituted authorities. Every endeavor we have mado along that line has been successfully blocked? “We are still endeavoring to get this evidence. Does the attorney general mean to insinuate that I was in the orgies at the Irvington palace and can give evidence thereof to the grand jury? “Does the attorney general mean to insinuate that I was a participant in the foul corruption that everyone knew was rumored to exist in the last Legislature? Or that I have participated in any corrur‘' -i in office? He knows, if he has read the press, that our com ittee is only endeavoring to get the netual facts for the proper presentation to the proper authorities, local, State and Federal. “I believe that we can get the further evidence better than the grand jury can get it.” Senators for Probe An overwhelming majority of State Senators favor a special session of the Senate to investigate charges of the probe committee of the Republican State Editorial Association, according to replies to a telegraphic questlonaire received by Adams from twenty-eight Senators. Gravity of the charges and the necessity for the light of truth to permeate Indiana’s dark political atmosphere are emphasized. However. Lieutenant Governor F. Harold Van Orman declared he could find no power to call the special session and suggested that the prisons committee of the Legislature be entrusted with the investigations. Senator Perry Easton of Sanborn, Knox County, (Dem.)—Telephoned from Linton that he was for any plan that would help the probe committee. Senator Thomas A. Dally, Indianapolis (Rep.), phoned: “Yes; let's ininvestigate. Senator Earl W. Payne, Bloomington (Dem.) —I favor calling special session for investigation. Ready at Any Time Benjamin R. Inman (Rep.), representing Hendricks, Morgan and Owen Counties, says—Replying to your telegram .which was not received until today; I am ready at any time to participate in the proceedings of a special session of the Indiana State Senate, for any purpose, whenever a call for such

special -session comes in the regular constitutional way. Murray S. Barker, Thorntown (Rep.)—Replying to your telegram of the ninth. Under our constitutionthe Governor only has authority to call a special session of the Senate. However, if you have the evidence of corruption or graft which you wish to present to the State Senate rather than to a court or jury, 1 am ready to meet with other members to receive it. So much has been said that casts suspicion on Indiana politics that the people are entitled to know the facts. Jf any officials are guilty of graft they should be punished. If not they should be vindicated. I am ready always to keep politics and public life clean. William T. Quillin, Indianapolis. (Rep.)—As to the calling of a special session, will say that I will gladly join in the urging of such session when it becomes evident that the duly authorized officials arc refusing to do their duty and the legal machinery of the county and State will not function. This does not seem to he the situation as yet, and therefore cannot see the wisdom of departing from the beaten paths of regular procedure To do so, while the attorney general of the State and the prosecutor of Marion County declare themselves ready and willing to do everything in their power to bring those who may be guilty to justice, would be an implied impugnation of the character, reputation and good faith of those officials. Favors Grand Jury It cannot be understood why the matters In question have not been placed before a special grand jury and, If you felt, as you say, that Mr. Remy Ms not big enough for the job’ (although his past records refute such assertion), in charge of a special prosecutor. Such course would certainly have secured justice for tha public at large and for the accused. What more could have been or is desired? I repeat, thereupon, that I cannot see the wisdom in a special session of the Legislature to do that which our officials are legally bound to do. So long as they stand ready to discharge their duty in that report. Why not give them that opportunity? Senator Shirley, Woodbutn (Dem.) —I favor Senate investigation of conditions in State. Harvey Harmon, Princeton (Dem.) —Yes, I favor Senate investigation. Am firmly convinced that any other investigation will bury results instead of producing them. George W. Sims, Vigo County (Rep.)—l am in favor of a sweeping Investigation. Due 'o excessive cosf.

Moorhead, Indianapolis (Rep.)—The State Senate does not have power to convene itself in special session. If the Governor calls a special session I am in favor of giving the present probe committee full power to make a complete investigation, with instructions to present to the grand jury all evidence of the law violations.
