‘TRUTH TESTER’ SUPPORTED IN MURDERPROBE White County Grand Jury Refuses to Indict Lloyd Kimble. Ey United Preta MONTICELLO, Ind., Feb. I.—The retraction a fake ‘‘truth testing machine” wrung from Mrs. Jeanetta Taylor had resulted today in clearing Lloyd Kimble, Carroll County farm hand, of charges of murdering John Baker, White County farmer. After being told the ‘‘truth tester,” which was only a blood pressure recorder, awed Mrs. Taylor into believing a lie would be registered with scientific precision, the White County grand jury late Tuesday accepted Prosecutor John Rothrock’s statement that Mrs. Taylor admitted falsely accusing Kimble. Clear Prosecutor The jurors not only refused to indict Kimble, but reported on Mrs. Taylor's assertion that Rotbrock threatened her into changing her story. The jury found Rothrock innocent of “irregularities or misconduct.” While Kimble was on trial at Delphi recently on a charge of killing Daniel Sink, aged farmer, Mrs. Taylor, who testified against him, also declared he had admitted the "murder” of Baker to her. Kimble was acquitted of the Sink killing and he and Mrs. Taylor were brought here for the inquiry into Baker's death. Before the grand jury here, Mrs. Taylor reiterated her story of the Baker killing. Later, on being subjected to “tests” by what she thought to be a "truth testor,” she broke down and declared she had lied about Kimble. Charged Coercion In an affidavit made subsequently, repudiating her withdrawal and again accusing Kimble, she charged Prosecutor Rothrock had used coercion in questioning her. The affidavit read: “They put it (a blood pressure tester) on my arm and said it would tell if I lied to them. The prosecutor let me tell about Baker until I got as far as where Kimble poured gasoline and oil on him and set his clothing on fire. Then the prosecutor took me in another room and told me If I told the truth on Kimble, that if he confessed burning Baekr up, they would put me in the electric chair or give me a life sentence the same as Kimble. He told me thy were going to put me in jail and hold me under $5,000 bond. Then he made me go back and tell those men Kimble did not tell me about Baker at all.” Rothrock denied threatening Mrs. Taylor in any way and said her story of sending to the electric chair was “preposterous.” He denied a $5,000 bond was mentioned.
