MANY MARRY, FEW DIVORCE IN CLARK COUNTY 3,190 Wed in 1928, 76 Get Decrees; City Center of Marital Woes. BY DAN M. KIDNEY Down in Clark county they get married and they stay married. Although there isn’t a single city of outstanding importance in this Indiana county bordering the Ohio, it rated third in number of marriage licenses issued in the ninetytwo counties of the state in 1928. Keep in mind, howver, that Jeffersonville, the Gretna Green of Indiana. is the county seat of Clark. Lake county led, then Marion and third Clark. Besides the marriage epidemic there is also a dearth of divorce in Clark county, the figures show. Only Seventy-six Divorces The total licenses to wed issued there was 3.190. There were but seventy-six divorces, fifty-one t<3 wives and twenty-five to husbands. Lake county issued 5,901 licenses. 683 divorces to 467 women and 214 men. In Marion county there were 2 682 licenses. 1.137 divorces to 853 women and 284 men, showing that marriage here doesn't seem to take as well as elsewhere in the state. There was a decrease in marriage and divorce in 1928 both in Marion count’,' and throughout the state over the 1927 figures. There were 2 846 licenses here in 1927 and 1,383 divorces to 968 women and 415 men. 40,960 Wed in State The state totals for 1928 were 40.960 licenses. 7,737 divorces to 5.747 wives and 1.990 husbands. In 1927 there were 41,188 licenses. 7,973 divorces to 5,810 women and 2,163 men.

CANCEL SIEVE WRIT Supreme Court Clears Way for Murder Appeal Ruling. Handing down of the decision of the supreme court Tuesday, wiping out the coram nobis action, paved the way for final decision in the D. C. Stephenson murder appeal, it was pointed out today. The court cancelled the petition for writ of error coram nobis upon request of Stephenson filed by Paul Newman, one of his attorneys. It refused, however, to strike the action from the record. It has 736611 instituted by Attorney Felix Blankenbaker. Terre Haute. Among the filings in the action were several affidavits alleging that Stephenson failed to testify at the Noblesville murder trial, because of fear of mob violence, inspired by Imperial Wizard Hiram Wesley Evans of the Ku-Klux Klan.

Out in the City of Los Angeles, concrete was used for 375 miles* of streets, or more than 72 per cent of all new paving during the years 1927 and 1928. If your streets need to be brought up to date, then concrete pavement will be your best "buy”. Its original cost is moderate —but long after you have forgotten what it cost, it will continue to give you perfect service, with practically no outlay for repairs or maintenance.

CAPONE STARTS COURT ACTION FOR RELEASE Charges He Was Railroaded to Jail by Philly Police. Bn United Press PHILADELPHIA, June 26—Attorneys for Alphonse ( Scarf ace) Capone, Chicago underworld “king,” today took their first action looking toward possibly freeing him from Holmesburg prison when they filed a writ of coram nobis in municipal court. The application filed before Judge John Walsh, the same judge who sentenced Capone and Frank Cline, his bodyguard, to a year in the county prison after they had pleaded guilty to carrying concealed deadly weapons, is aimed at the revocation of the year sentence. One technical point of law is the medium through which the Chicago gangster hopes to gain his liberty. The point is a rare one, never before evoked for a misdemeanor case, it was said, in Pennsylvania. The action, in legal terms, rested on the contention that errors in fact existed at Capone’s arraignment before Judge Walsh have made him eligible to apply for a writ of coram nobis on which can be argued a reversal of sentence. The writ of corum nobis is heard only in the court in which original sentence was passed and empowers the court to reverse its own decision. In everyday language, Capone’s complaint is that he was “railroaded” to jail by Philadelphia police who did not give him a “break.” It yas rumored that ultimately the corum nobis proceedings would lead Capone to try for anew trial. Cline was not included in the present action to obtain Capone’s release. WALES LAUDS DAWES United States Envoy “Regular Fellow,” Says British Prince.
