ACCIDENTS OVER INDIANA FATAL TOI2PERSONS Three Die in Indianapolis and Vicinity in Crashes. Autos, trains and Interurbans were responsible for the death of twelve persons In Indiana over the week-end, three of the fatalities occurring in Indianapolis and vicinity. It was believed that Guy O. Pritchard, 26, a soldier stationed at Ft. Benjamin Harrison, was killed by a “hit-and-run” motorist. Pritchard’s body was found beside the pavement on State Rd. 31, south of Carmel, by Mr. and Mrs. William Tilson, 4425 Guilford Ave., Sunday morning. He had left the Army post at 3 p. m. Saturday for a week-end visit with his mother, Mrs. Sadie Smith, at Tipton, Ind. Post officials said he usually “hopped rides” for the trip. Crushed by Barrels Louis Laitner, 75, of 506 N. Davidson St., met death when a truck in which he was riding with George Boone, 1915 W. Morris St., collided with an auto driven by Lawrence Stewart, 916 Oakland Ave., at S. Brookside Pkwy. and Rural St. Barrels of cider and large wood posts in the truck crushed Laitner when the machine overturned, and he died at city hospital ip a Bhort time. Stewart was held without bond on a technical charge of involuntary manslaughter. An auto driven by Kenneth Gros-

THREE IN THIS LOCAL FAMILY ARE BENEFITED “Konjola Surely Made a Difference in Our Home,” Says Indiapolis Lady. "My five-year old daughter is the third in our family who has gained glorious health from this Konjola of yours, and I don’t mind saying that there never was a medicine in our home that could compare with it,” declared Mrs. R. Wadsworth,

MRS. R. WADSWORTH AND DAUGHTER living in the Shirley subdivision, northeast Indianapolis (R. R. H, Box 2KH>, while talking a few days ago with the Konjola Man who is at Hook's Drug Store, Pennsylvania and Market Sts., Indianapolis, where he meets crowds of men and women day after day and explains the merits of this celebrated new Konjola medicinal compound. , “Indeed, this Konjola surely made a difference in our home,” continued Mrs. Wadsworth. “I had been suffering with the worst kind of stomach trouble three years. Everything I ate would sour in my stomach, cause fermentation, and such large quantities of gas that I had to gasp for my breath. Beans and cabbage, or anything sour, was just like poison to niy system. Terrific, sharp pains and cramps would follow every meal I ate. By back was always sore and achy, and black spots would appear in front of my eyes. For three years I was a victim of constipation, and had to take a laxative every day of the year. “I began taking Konjola, and I tell you, this medicine certainly restored my health in every way. I am relieved of the dizzy spells, spots before my eyes are gone, and I can eat anything put on the table. The pains in my back have disappeared, and my stomach is perfect. Ail the gas and bloating is relieved. I can really sleep at night, and I don’t remember when I ever felt better in my life than I do now. Konjola has actually ended my constipation, and for over two weeks I haven't taken a laxative tablet —the first time in three years. "My husband is another member of our family who benefited by taking Konjola, and so this medicine has meant a great deal to us and we gladly indorse it." Konjola Is non-alcoholic. It Is different than any medicine previously known. Where many ordinary remedies contain only 7 or 8 herbal ingredients, 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-sys-tem brings amazing relief in cases of suffering that had been going on for years. At the same time many sick and run-down 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. — AdverUaement.

ONLY 9 EDITORS AT CONFERENCE (Continued From Page 1)

Wayne; Herbert S. Willis, Waterloo; Allen B. Hiner, Newcastel; A. M. Smith, Crawfordsvillle; Edward Hancock, Greensburg. “In the first place, the Indiana Republican Editorial Association never at anytime,nor does it now approve of a probe, prompted by a desire on the part of Mr. Adams and Mr. Fuedner to seek revenge for alleged personal grievances, and in which the association is not in any way interested,” the resolution declared. “In the second place, Mr. Adams and Mr. Fuedner were never authorized by the association to conduct this so-called probe and so far as the majority of officers and members know, no such committee was ever officially appointed and does not represent this association. ’We have the utmost confidence in Mr. Walb, members of the Indiana Republican Central Committee and all the candidates on the Republican national and State tickets and we deeply deplore and regret the illadvised action of the secretary (Feudne* )in sending telegrams in an effort to prevent members of the association from attending the regular meeting of the Stat£ committee." Continuing, the small group of editors declared; Approve Jury Probe "We heartily approve of the thorough Investigation now being made by the Marion County Grand Jury and as conducted by Arthur L. Gilliom, attorney general of the State, and William H. Remy, prosecuting attorney of Marion County.” State committee members applauded when the line of nine editors filed in the committee room. It was then that Holmes rushed forth the order from Walb to expel the press men. However, many committee members tired during the long wait for the editors after 10 a. m.. the hour announced for the gathering. For a while, It was feared that a quorum would he lacking, but by 11 a. m. nine members were present. Liter, two out-state members appeared. Before the meeting began, Walb had announced that only routine matters of election day arrangements and similar matters would he considered. Women There Some of the women vice chairman of the district were present at the central committee gathering. It was said that had the men failed to appear, the women would have the power to represent them. John Motto, chairman of the primary campaign of Senator James E. IN a,son, entered the committee room early, but retired rather hastily. “That's no place for me,” he said, as he fled down the hall. “There are too many women there.”

MILDRED MEADE BEFORE JURORS (Continnueif From Page 1) minutes. It was announced h would be before the body again this afternoon. Says He Would Talk Before going before the jury Losey, also a former friend of Stephenson, said: ”1 can tell all I know in five minutes.. “I don’t know much, but I will tell all I know.” , He said he believed that if Stephenson were removed from the prison, to some other State Institution he would divulge some of the things which the grand jury is seeking to ascertain. Well Dressed Girl Miss Meade, a brunette, stylishly dressed and wearing an expensivelooking brown fur coat and a large picture hat, went into the grand jury witness room shortly after 9 o'clock. Slio carried a large beaded bag and was smiling. Prosecutor Remy appeared a short time iater and with Miss Meade and Detective John Giles went to the bank. Arriving at the hank, after dodg Ing newspaper photographers all the way, Miss Meade and her escorts, went down the stairs and wore passed through a steel gate. Here an officer behind the desk was addressed by Remy. “This is Miss Meade,” Remy said, and was about to say more, hut the officer hastily responded. “Yes, yes,” us if he expected the statement. Miss Meade then handed the officer a small object and the officer, Remy. and Miss Meade then went into the interior of the vault and the long box, which was really a drawer in the wall, was pulled forth. Remy took possession of it, hut handed it hack to the officer when the latter suggested that it had better he wrapped in paper. Paper was then tied around the box and the package handed to Remy. “NVhat about the key? NVill this box he returned?” asked the bank officer. “Yes,” said Miss Meade, "I or somebody will return it,” and the party left, Remy carrying the box all the way hack to the courthouse. Appears Unconcerned Miss Meade, trailed by a dozen reporters and photographers, appeared unconcerned. As photographers attempted to snap her picture she pulled the picture hat down to shield her face. She refused to talk. “I’m going to tell what I'm going to tell officially,” she said. While Miss Meade waited in the outer chamber of the jury room, many curious persons sought to look through the doors to see her, hut Charles Kerner, bailiff, pulled down the blinds. The hunt for the girl began when she disappeared a week ago Saturday, after obtaining by a ruse from Thomas V, Miller, attorney for Stephenson, a note Miller had obtained, from the c-x-Klan chief authorizing that the documents be

turned over to him. She was supposed to obtain possession of the documents with the aid of the note and turn them over to Miller, the attorney said. Miss Meade was first definitely con. nected with the search for the missing documents when a Times reporter got possession of a packet of correspondence which had accidentally been left in a restaurant at Westfield, Ind. The papers were left on a table by a well-dressed couple one morning during the time when Stephenson was in Noblesvillle jail, after his conviction and awaiting transfer to the State Prison last year. The letters containing information of importance, gave evidence of having been much handled. On the worn envelope of one, pencilled In handwriting which has been identified as Stephenson’s, appeared this note: “Miss Meade. Did Strader turn over checks and films?” This note dovetails into the picture of events which has been built up from evidence, both verbal and circumstantial. Floyd Christian, Noblesvllie attorney, who helped defend Stephenson in the murder case, has stated that he saw a large pile of letters, checks and other documents in Stephenson’s cell in the Noblesville jail, some of them being those which have been described by other witnesses In the investigation. Christian said Stephenson wanted him to take care of the documents, but that he refused because they were of such a nature that had he ever had possession of them lie would have felt duty bound to turn them over to the prosecuting attorney. Stephenson said, according to the lawyer that he was going to hold the documents over the heads of a lot of officials and others and might sometime have them as company in tho prison. He said, according to Christian, that he was going to have them photographed and both originals and pictures put in safe places while he was In the prison. C. M. Hull, Anderson. Ind.. photographer and Mrs. Hull declare that about this time Foster Strader, then Stephenson’s secretary brought a great mass of tho documents to their gallery and that they made three photographic copies of each. Strader, located near Pittsburgh, Pa., Saturday by a Times reporter, declared that he had the pictures made in Indianapolis and tried at that time to create the impression that he had taken the documents to Kokomo. He denied knowledge of the present whereabouts of the valuable evidence. The pencilled note in Stephenson’s handwriting turned the search toward Miss Meitde. Anothe- fact which made the finding of the note valuable In the Investigation was that the father-in-law of L. Cl. Julian, former partner of Stephenson, who has been sought for over a week, lives at Westfield. Persons seeking the missing papers hold the theory that Julian either has part of them or knows where they may he located. Search for a clew to Julian's whereabouts through his relatives at Westfield was fruitless. The last trace of him was at Kentland, Ind , last Thursday. He was expected at his home in Evansville Saturday morning, but did not appear.

Returned Sunday Miss Meade, missing, according to her parents, since a week ago Friday, returned to her home Sunday. She called Attorney General Arthur 1,. Gilliom, who is assisting Prosecutor Rerny' In the grand Jury investigation, and told him she would appear before the grand jury this morning. Gilliom and Remy went at once to the JEeade home and conferred with her. Then Deputy Sheriff Roland Snider appeared at the Meade home and served forthwith a subpoena for her appearance before the grand jury’. The girl was taken to the prosecutor's office, where Remy and Gilliom again talked to her, and then to county jail on an order Issued by William Kaiser, Criminal Court clerk, ordering she he held until she appeared before tho furors unless $2,500 bond was provided. Bond Signed Shortly after 10 p. m. the *2.500 bond was signed by John F. Walker, former city superintendent of street cleaning, and Harry Campbell, one of the operators of Day’s Casino, a dance hall southeast of the city. The girl refused to disclose where

she had been since the Nation-wide hunt was instituted for her last week by Prosecutor Remy. She said she knew nothing of the hunt for her and that she had just “been on a vacation.” The girls parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Meade, also refused to discuss their daughter's mysterious disappearance and reappearance. Both parents and Gertrude, a twin sister of Mildred, were before the grand jury last week. Her daughter was very nervous about her appearance before the grand jury, the mother said. At 8:55 Walker, who signed the girl’s bond, drove up to the Meade residence and entered thehouse. A minute later Miss Meade stepped from the front door and got into the large touring car which whisked her to the courthouse at a fifty-mile-an-hour pace. Driver of the auto speeded over a direct route to the east entrance of the courthouse. Instantly Miss Meade jumped from the machine and ran to the basement entrance, pulling her picture hat over her face and zig-zagging her way through newspaper photographers. Walker followed her into the building. Taking the elevator Miss Meade went directly to the grand jury witnes sroorn.
