JUDGE TO FACE OUSTING FRIDAY Attorney to Seek Writ of Prohibition. Bn Timex Special MUNCIE, Ind., March 9.—Thomas V. Miller, attorney for George Dale, editor of the Muncie Post Democrat, today announced he would attempt to file a writ of prohibition in the State Supreme Court, Friday against Circuit Judge Clarence W. Dearth. If the court permits the writ to be filed, Miller said, Dearth would be removed from bench until a formal hearing was held.

Record of Juries in Dearth Court to Be Scrutinized Representative Carlson Exp ected to Inquire Into Data About Irregularities Submitted in Impeachment by Prosecutor. , By Times Staff Correspondent MUNCIE, Ind., March !).—When State Representative Lawrence E. Carlson, delegated by the House Board of Managers, comes here "to gather evidence for the Impeachment trial of Circuit Judge Clarence W. Dearth before the Indiana Senate it is expected that examination of jury records in Dearth’s court will occupy much of his attention Before the House impeached Dearth on charges of suppression of the press and irregularities in jury procedure, Prosecutor Joe H. Davis, at the request of the House Judiciary A committee, gathered from the records data of thirty cases of persons who were not of record as freeholders being drawn for jury service. Politicians Wives Called Davis also cited a large number of instances wherein wives of politicians or the politicians themselves were selected on juries and a number of cases wherein persons, while freeholders, were drawn for jury service twice or more within the same year. One case which is expected to be brought to Representative Carlson’s attention is that of Mrs. Ethel Clark, Liberty township, who, while she is on the tax duplicate, was drawn Dec. 27, 1926, for jury serviceand again upon Dec. 31, 1926. The law very plainly states tha f no person shall serve upon a jury more than once within twelve months and jury commissioners almost universally guard against this by seeing to it that the names do not get back into the box after the names are drawn. Serve Twice Within Year Lawyers have a right to ask that persons found serving the second time within a year be thrown off of juries, but, according to Prosecutor Davis, the records show that some such persons stuck on juries in Judge Dearth’s court. The thirty cases wherein Davis informed the House committee he found drawn jurors not listed upon the tax duplicate and Davis’ com-

HOME FIGHT PUT UP TO STATE BODY Collins Says Charities Board Must Settle Detention Building Controversy. ABANDON CITATION PLAN Remy Has Witnesses Before Grand Jury. Solution of the controversy between county officials over the selection of the Holloway Apts., 225 E. Michigan St., as the new county juvenile detention home, was put up to the Board of State Charities today by Criminal Court Judge James A. Collins. Collins, in a statement to Prosecutor William H. Remy, said "that the board of county commissioners can make no provision for any place for the custody of children pending trial in juvenile Court unless such place meets with the approval of the State Board of Charities.” * Remy, following a conference with Collins, said County Attorney Clinton H. Givan and Juvenile Court Judge Frank J. Lahr will confer with him this afternoon Abandon Citation Remy temporarily abandoned his effort to bring about citation of the majority faction commissioners, Charles Sutton and Cassius L. Hogle for contempt of court because they disregarded a recent recommendation of the grand jury that the present building, 1102 N. Capitol Ave., be retained. Hogle and Sutton leased the Michigan St. site from James M. Davis through James Edwards, county councilman and local real estate man. The contract provides $350 a month rent. Although only $325 has been appropriated. County Auditor Harry Dunn said the additional amount will not be paid until an appropriation Is granted, but councilmen assert no more will be appropriated. Brown With Jury John A. Brown, chairman of the charities board; C. H. Graham, inspector of the State fire marshal’s office and Judge Lahr were before the grand jury this morning. Later Brown admitted that a report was being prepared for the commissioners, but would not reveal the contents. He told Remy before going to the grand jury, that the new site was, in some respects, better than the present structure, but what “really Is needed is anew building.” Lahr declared he would not permit any children to be taken to the E. Michigan St. building until the charities board report Is received. The board must approve the building before It can be used, he said. Approval Needed Judge Lahr ordered the children sent cither to Institutions where they had been ordered by the court, or to private homes. , • “The law sets out that the Detension Home must have approval of the charities board before the children can be sent there,” the court said. | “Until the matter is disposed of, I shall place the children In the orphan’s home or private residences. I want anew home, but will not accept this so-called ‘temporary location’ until the charities board approves it.” Judge Lahr wrote Chief Claude F. Johnson, Tuesday, asking him wot to place children in the Detention Home for a few days, but bind them to the court until the situation was remedied.
