The failure of the Ohio State bank, followed by two months the failure of the only other bank in town, resulted in financial loss to every family in the county. Many depositors lost their life savings. Despite this fact residents were slow to condemn Daugherty, a member of an old pioneer family that came west in 1810 when Ohio was a frontier. Every one knew him and called him Mai, just as every one called his brother, Harry E. Daugherty, United States attorney-general in the Harding administration, by his first name. When Harry was attorney-gen-eral, Mai was president of the Old Midland bank, which a senate investigating committee charged was depository for funds some of them which allegedly changed hands in the Teapot Dome transactions.

Morris Moss, 540 Massachusetts avenue, 206-pound “investigator” who was chief character witness at the blackmail trial of Irving Webster, publisher, today stood absolved of a charge of assault and battery on his ninety-six-pound wife. Brought before Special Criminal Judge Richard Bynum Monday, charged with severely beating his wife near police headquarters Sept. 9, Moss countered his wife’s accusations and escaped a jail penalty on which William R. Ringer, prosecutor, insisted. Moss claimed his wife Daisy followed him to the police station, crushing his hat and tearing his coat. He produced a coat and hat to substantiate the defense. Mrs. Moss testified the fight occurred because Moss refused to buy a daughter school books. Moss’ 11-year-old daughter Ellen told the court her father beat Mrs. Moss without cause.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

‘RAFFLES’ WILLI FREE GIRL IN AIRTIGHT SAFE Sensational Stunt Set for Wednesday Noon on Circle Corner. Thrills, thrills, and more thrills! If faith will move mountains, pretty Leona Anderson, of 5618 East Twenty-first street, has it, because she shows the utmost confidence in the trained fingers of “Raffles,” the master cracksman, to release her from an air-tight steel safe. Wednesday at 12:15 the “safecracker” will demonstrate his prowess at a complimentary performance at the entrance of Market street, on the west side of Monument circle. “Raffles” is appearing at the Lyric theater this week, mystifying vaudeville audiences as he has all around the world. Promptly at 12:15, a large motor truck will roll into the safety island on the west entrance of Market street and Monument circle, opposite the Test building. On it will be a huge all-steel safe, .rom the stock of a city furniture company. While the crowd gathers, Miss Anderson will step into the safe. The door will be closed by members of a committee. A member of the traffic department of the city police force will twist the dial, to be sure that the safe is locked. Then Raffles, seclrely blindfolded, will rub his fingers with sandpaper, in approved cracksman style. With his back to the dial, his sensitive finger tips will twirl the dial, the nerves responding when the faint “click” of the tumblers is felt. All this time, Miss Anderson will be inside the safe. Raffles may fail. He never has failed to open a safe in three minutes. But if, perchance he does not detect the correct combination in that time, expert safe drillers will be on hand to liberate Miss Anderson. A physician will be there to give first aid treatment to Miss Anderson, in that case. At the moment Miss Anderson is released she will receive her reward, a brand new shiny $lO gold piece, from the Lyric theater, sponsoring the “stunt” for the benefit of Times readers and all others who wish to view this unusual feat.
