FLIER-BOOTLEGGER ALLOWED PAROLE

Rollin Stewart Permitted Leave ‘to Attend to Business.’ Bn Times Byrcinl PENDLETON, Ind., Sept. 19. Rollin Stewart, 25, Indianapolis flier-bootlegger, was at liberty today on a ten-uay parole to "attend to business interests.’’ after serving nine months of a two-year sentence in the state reformatory for transporting liquor. Stewart discarded his prison togs and duties as assistant to the chaplain Friday, and Wednesday is said to have appeared at Marion county courthouse with his brother, a local radio dealer. Ostensibly he was attending to "business affairs,” the nature of which he has not disclosed. Because several attempts have been made to gain his release on grounds of good behavior, conjecture on his appearance here connected the temporary parole with a personal effort to gain permanent freedom. In 1927, according to police, Stewart was near an airplane that landed near Ft. Benjamin Harrison to discharge a booze cargo into a car he drove away. Convicted of transporting liquor, the young college student and man-about-town was given a suspended sentence. In the pursuit before his capture, he was wounded in the heel by a deputy sheriff’s bullet. A year later, driving a large sedan sixty miles an hour through downtown Indianapolis, Stewart again

UNION ORGANIZERS ESCAPE GASTONIA MOB IN WILD RIDE

Cheated Pursuers Reported , to Have Terrorized Bessemer City. Bn United Press CHARLOTTE, N. C., Sept. 19.
