STOCKS ATTRACT INCREASED BUYING AS WEEK SETS IN Industrial Leaders Sweep Ahead Into New High Territory,

Average Stock Prices

Average of twenty industrials Saturday was 165.59. up .81. Average of twenty rails was 11)2.24. up .44. Average of forty bonds was 97.35, up .00. Bu United Press NEW YORK. April 18.—Having closed last week in new high ground for the year and hardly more than a point from the record high of 166.84 in the Dow-Jones averages, industrial stocks attracted large buying orders over Sunday and further vigorous gains took place early today. General Motors swept ahead on a huge turnover, achieving new high ground for the current bull market at 18712, up '%. Allied Chemical leached new high ground on the movement at 140%, up V’2, and oth- • industrial leaders scored propor|ate gains. stocks developed greater uniformity on the upside around noon on a drop in call money to 4 per cent. This easement reflected speedy disappearance of the slight strain incident to midmonth settlements. Constructive interests derived great encouragement from the fact that the 4 per cent rate had been so quickly restored and buying operations in the main body of stocks gained increasing breadth and aggressiveness. Universal Pipe common turned reactionary, selling off 1% to 32Va. This setback was duo to profit taking following the establishment of the common dividend at a $2 annual rate and payment of an extra common dividend of 25 cents. Universal Pipe's earnings for the quarter ending March 31, 1927. were 3328,208, an increase of 55 per cent over the corresponding period last year. In view of this showing it is understood the quarterly extras of 25 cents on common will be continued, placing the latter stock oil equivalent, to .33 dividend basis.

DEATH PENALTY OPPOSED BY IN (Continued From Page 1) diced or that the fact one defendant ; was a woman might influence their I judgment. The scramble to keep off the jury gave promise that the process of jury picking would be a long '■ affaitk. Gray Appears First Gray entered first. He. was attired in a brown business suit, wore a high white starched collar and a dark blue tie. He stared out of horn-rimmed spectacles. Mrs. Snyd- | er wore a black velvet hat and coat jof inexpensive material. Her stockings and shoes were also black. Mrs. Snyder, blonde and her pallor lightened by rouge, was Intensely interested in the questioning of talesmen. She whispered to Dana Wallace. her ssociute counsel. Gray, sitting perhaps ton feet from her, kept his face averted. j. Margaret Gray, mother of Henry, Judd Gray, sat only a yard from Mrs. Snyder. Gray's wife and daughter were not in the courtrom; neither was Lorraine. Mrs. ’ yder’s 9-ycar-old daughter. The jui. box became vacant when the the last talesman s ' ii "sure would take a lot to -al eme change my opinion.” Anew list of twelve names >he was called.Peter M. Daly, an district attorney, then took up the questio..ing for the State. Uphold Death Penalty Not one of the ne\v tab .men was opposed to capital punishment. Justice Scudder, .v*h r > ..ppears to' scowl perpetually, came down from the bench and : . the siua of the jury box. Acoustics off the great room were poor in spite of the amplifiers placed in the rear and the justice had difficulty in hearing from the be :h. Two of tlie new panel were speedily c:. sed because of acquaintance with counsel. Scores of police patrolled streets near the courthouse and guarded the hallways of the courthouse to keep back crowds eager to view Mrs. Snyder and Gray. Only a few spectators, with the exception of newspaper men, were permitted to reach the third floor, where the State’s largest courtroom had been prepared with extra seats, microphones and other attributes coincident to a popular exhibit of justice.

Reporters Envied The crowd began to assemble shortly after 6 a. m. and police were there even at that hour to restrain the curious. By 9 a. m. the ranks had swollen to more' than 259, but all the would-be disciples i’ the "I Was There” cult could do •as stand outside in the April sunsnine t.nd watch reporters wit{i unmixed envy. Gray faced the ordeal under the handicap of having been adjudged sane yesterday by four alienists, two for the State and two for the defense. It had boi n expected Ids defense would be based on an insanity plea. Accused May Clash Although they will face trial jointly, both Gray and Mrs. Snyder v ere expected to testify that the other was responsible for Snyder's death. Edgar Hazteton will make the opening statement for Mrs. Snyder and Dana Wallace will cross-exam-ine witnesses on her behalf. Samuel L. Miller will direct defense of Gray. District Attorney Richard S. New. combe will prosecute. Justice Townsend Scudder. who recently refused to grant, a motion of Mrs. Snyder's attorneys for a separate trial, will preside. Dr. Sylvester R. Lahey and Dr. Stephen P. Jewett, for the State, and Dr. Thomas S. Cusack and Dr. Siegrief Block for the defense, were tliq alienists who examined Gray and found him sane. His attorney announced the dicision would not handicap the defense. Called Model Citizen Gray, a corset salesman, who be = fofe the murder had a reputation in East Orange. N. J., where he and his wife lived, of being a model citizen, was expected to base his defense on the plea that he was under Mrs. Snyder’s influence when the slaying of Snyder was planned and that he was drunk when the art editor of "Motor Boating” was beaten to death in his home in Queens Village March 20. Mrs. Snyder, it was reported, wiuld picture Gray as a coward who browbeat her into helping plan the slaying ajid then tried to put the blame on her. Both Mrs. Snyder and Grpy confessed and both repudiated their confessions. The trial sessions will open at 10 a. m. and close at 4 p. m., with no Saturday or Sunday sessions. Scores of newspaper men have arranged for space at the press tables, and the trial will be covered as minutely as was the Hall-Mills trial in Somerville, N. J. Only such spectators as can obtain seats will be admitted to the courtroom and lunch baskets will be barred, the judge has ordered. EARLY TRIAL~I<TaSKED An immediate trial in Criminal Court for David De Lotch, 17, Negro, of 2316 N. Oxford St., was asked today by Claude M. Worley, detective chief. De Lotch was arrested in 175yton, Ohio, several dd%-s ago, and his picture identified when sent here.

April IS.— Stockholders of the United States Steel Corporation approved a proposed increase in common capital stock too permit payment of the 40 per cent stock dividend, authorized by the directorate recently, at their annual meeting here today. Proxies were presented for 2.652,255 shares of preferred and 4,047,883 shares of common, more than sufficient to assure approval of the dividend. The number of shares voted represented 74.6 per cent of the preferred outstanding and 51.4 per cent of common. The proposal would increase the common capital stock from 5,083,023 shares of SIOO par each to 7,533,210, in permit payment of the dividend, involving the issuance of 2.033,210 new common shares.

Miller, a director. discussing the proposed Increase, said: “An increase in the capital stock for the purpose of making a stock dividend to common stockholders is of great interest to the preferred stock, because by that action it will capitalize t 200.000.000 and you will put that much more capitalization back of the preferred stock.” ROLE WRECKS AUTO: 1 HURT After striking a chuck hole in the pavement, an auto driven by Edward Tomlin. 1818 W.

COLLINS ORDERS ARMITAGE CITED (Continued From Page I)

Such a would enable the court to obtain ;Ml tiie facts and determine the question of the dis-c-hat ge of the grand jury as well as punish any one guilty of contempt. “In order that the court may be fully informed of all the facts concerning the alleged attempt of James Armitage to bribe Grand Juror Achey this court now directs the prosecuting atorno.v to file at once an information upon said James Armitage or any other persons so i that the court can issue an order j citing him, or them, for contempt of , the Criminal Court of Marion County ;and the grand jury. Two Lawyers Named “The court of its own motion will appoint Emsley W. Johnson and John W. Holtzman as special deputy prosecuting attorneys to assist in this investigation and trial of said James Armitage, or any persons j charged by information with contempt in this matter. “These appointments will be made subject to the willingness of those attorneys to serve. “As quickly as the court is apprised of all the facts then the court can exercise the power granted in Sec. 2120, Burns Statutes as above referred to. “Pending the disposition of the 1 contempt proceedings now ordered | by the court, the grand jury of Marj ion County is adjourned until fur- < tlier order of tlie court.” I The Ur.’t part of Judge Collins' i statement criticised Berny for the : action he took presenting the affidavit of Achey charging Armitage attempted to bribe him and the motion to discharge the jury.

“There is no statutory provision for any such proceedings,” Collins said. “And no power lias ever been delegated lo (lie prosecuting attorney of this Htate over grand juries, this power being solely lodged in the court. This motion could not be properly made a part of the records ol' this court.” Collins quoted from the law setting out that the prosecutor acts only in an advisory capacity to the grand jury. Entanglements Feared “It follows that the court could not entertain the motion tendered by the prosecuting attorney,” Collin." said. “To have sustained such a motion would have subjected every indictment to attack that would l>e returned by a succeeding grand jury if one were called for the remainder of the term. It would also have subjected any affidavit to a similar attack.” He also declared that Grand Juror Achey violated his oath with the court in not presenting the matter directly to the court rather than to the prosecutor. It was Achey's duty to report to the court immediately upon any approach by Armitage in connection with his possible vote on any indictments presented the jury. “This makes his conduct reprehensible,” Collins said. - “Had lie presented this matter to this court proper action would have been taken for an immediate investigation. AVhen Collins finished reading his order, Clarence Weir, attorney for Achey, .said: “The court has indicated in this statement the incorrectness of Achey's actions. Achey reported the data, to me and I advised him to report the matter' to the prosecuting attorney. If any one is cited for contempt. I desire to be cited. Achey Defended “Achey has acted solely upon my advice. I conceive that he should report to the prosecuting attorney. I went farther—l advised him that the disclosure of the matter would break out into disagreeable notoriety, but he owed it to the court. “If any one is going to be cited, I want to be cited,” be repeated. Judge Collins told Weir that it was Achey's duty under his oath ta report the situation to the court. Collins said that he did not indicate that Achey should be cited, and did not believe that Weir would give wrong advice. Prosecutor Remy told Collins that he had taken Achey before the entire grand jury and that the grand juror had made his statement before them. “When did you first learn of this, Mr. Remy?” Collins asked. “Monday, a week ago,” Remy answered.

"The first information this court had was when Clark came to me and asked if the grand jury could issue a subpoena. I told him that the grand jury was supreme and could do it," Collins said. Judge Cottlns then turned to Remy* and stated: "Mr. Remy, the court, wants you to understand that this court is going to give you the fullest cooperation in this matter and will aid to the fullest extent in getting this matter cleaned up.” Remy's motion to discharge the jury was presented/Thursday, supported by the affidavit signed and sworn to by Achey in which it was charged that .larges E. Armitage offered him $2,600 and a job if he would vote in opposition to indictments against Mayor Duvall. Swings Into Power Armitage, in his conversation with Achey, according to the affidavit, stated he “had two members of the jury, but needed a third.” Judge Ofcllins did not consider Remy’s motion anything other “than a communication to the court” and did not file it on court records. He adjourned the grand jury until today. When Remy asked that Achey be permitted to take the stand for questioning, Collins said he would call Achey when he wanted him. Prior to presentation of the motion Judge Collins called in Charles L. Clark, jury foreman and asked thftt a subpoena be issued for Armitage. The latter was with the jury for almost an hour Thursday morning before the motion was returned to the court. Friday, investigation revealed that the name of Achey and James ! F. Chamberlain, 1336 W. Thirtieth St., another juror, were not on tax duplicates for 1926, which is necessary before prospective jurors can be classed as householders or freeholders, and eligible for service. 1 Both Chamberlain and Achey, however, declared they had property.

Chamberlain stated the property owned by him is in his wife's name. According to records Mrs. Margaret Chamberlain owns real estate in Warren Township.

He said he had written a letter to Ceorge S. Elliott, former cyclops of Pie Marlon County klan, to obtain support when he was a candidate for the city council. “I didn’t stay in the race long,” Chirk said. “I withdrew when I saw how things were being run.” Elliott has been called before the Marion County grand jury several times. He and Harvey Bedford, former traffic inspector, were “missing” for several weeks before they could be obtained as witnesses when the probe first .began. This is the second jury that has investigated the charges of political corruption. The charges were based on letters smuggled from the Indiana State p ison by D. C.

White, 1545 Lexington Ave, then foreman, the jury was about to investigate alleged, fraud in the primary of May, 1917. “The jury had taken no official action but as individuals we planned to take up the matter," White said. Charles L. Hutchinson, 960 N. Meridian St, then a jury member, said as he recalled the matter, no witnesses had been heard when Collins dismissed the body. The jurors issued a statement criticising the court's action. Much agitation was aroused after this action because it was expected the jury would investigate certain matters in which George V. Coffin, then police chief, was concerned. The jurors’ statement did not question the legality of the court’s move hut asserted circumstances did not Justify use of such arbitrary power. Judge Collins stated there ia no similarity between the 1918 action and the present move. “That was a necessary wartime measure: the war is over,” he stated, referring to the World War.
