COLLINS BRANDS CRUMP'S FIRM GIGANTIC FRAUD Judge Ponders Judgment for Head of Defunct Securities Company. Ending his criminal court trial on Tuesday with an account of his fail from a "six-story building” and his later three-year confinement in an asylum for the insane, Carollyn E. Crump, 44, Chicago financier de luxe, today is in the county jail , awaiting a court judgment on a case in which he is charged with selling securities of an insolvent issuer. Crump, according to Criminal .:>Jge James A. Collins, trial judge, deeded the short-lived Indiana Real Estate Securities Corporation of Indianapolis, "one of the most collosal frauds that ever victimized Hoosier cit teens." Spicy bits of gossip colored Crump's forty-five-minute story on t he witness stand, including an asertion that Frank E. Wright. Indiana securities commission auditor, paid a hasty visit to Crump’s umptuous apartments in Indianapolis when it became known that higher authorities of the securities commission had closed the Continental bank building offices of Crump’s institution. Told by Wright "Wright wa* the first person to inform me of the commission’s action,” Crump declared. Wright, author Os the Indiana Bone Dry Law, who admits he was duped into becoming a party to Crump's scheme bv accepting post of “director,” today emphatically denied Crump’s assertion. “Crump made a misstatement if he said I told him the action of the commission,” Wright said. "He was ill at the hotel, and L paid him a social call.” In his testimony Crump termed two of his associates, including Mark W. Bemis, 24. Chicago attorney and admitted partner of Orump. "dirty, double-crossing crooks as everybody knows.” Bemis, who turned state s evidence to absolve himself of guilt as a founder of the Securities Corporation, testified that on several occasions "he suspected something wrong in Crump’s business dealings.” Evades Vital Questions Cross examined by Deputy Prosecutor Harry Cause. Crump evaded vital questions with: "I don't remember.” Crump’s proposed $30,000,000 finance company, was organized to sell stocks and bonds to form a home building and loan concern, Crump said Among rebuttal witness called by the state were associates of Crump in the attempted formation of a similar organization in Illinois. Anton Dick testified he had advanced $7,900 to Crump for that purpose. “Until I saw Crump, I was a banker.” Dick said in response to a query as to his occupation. Crump was defended by Charles Kaelin, county pauper attorney, and will be called before Collins at 9 Saturday morning for final disposition of his case.

But the new resolution provides that the person receiving the badge on recommendation of the department head shall pay the cost thereof.

TARDIEU AGAIN SEERS T 9 BUILD FRENCH CABINET Country Turns to Former Premier, as Chautemps Is Defeated. /?•' T'nitr/1 Press PARIS, Feb. 26.—France turned again to Andre Tardieu today as the most immediately available savior of the tangled political situation which has brought the five-power naval conference in London to a complete standstill. Tardieu visited the presidential palace this afternoon and accepted the invitation to head anew cabinet, after having refused to do so in the morning. Tardieu, with the powerful backing of Raymond Poincare, France's master statesman, may be able to form a temporarily workable government in place of the abortive one of Camille Chautemps, defeated Tuesday in the chamber of denuties. Nine days ago the Radical Socialists of the Left overthrew Tardieu. He wisely refused to attempt anew government until the Radical Socialists had proved their inability to govern. Chautemps attempted a government dominated by the Radical Socialists and was ovei thrown after five days, when he presented his declaration of policy to the chamber Tuesday. The ote was 292 to 277. the Right and Center howling him down and clamoring for Tardieu. After conferring with parliamentary leaders and finding Tardieu favored, the president sent his personal automobile and had Tardieu brought to the palace this morning. When Tardieu refused the president sent his automobile for Poincare. Poincare, who is 69 and has undergone two serious operations, said his health had returned, but his doctors insisted a few months' complete repose. Poincare then called Tardieu to his Paris residence, presumably advising- him to attempt a government.
