CLOSED BANK 18 BE PROBED BY GRAND JURY Prosecutor Takes Steps to Take Washington Firm’s Facts to Quiz Body. RECORDS ARE STUDIED At Least Two More Weeks Needed to Prepare Enough Evidence. Steps toward a grand jury probe into failure of the Washington Bank and Trust Company, closed last October by the state bank examiner, were being taken today by Prosecutor Herbert ' ’ilson. Scrutiny of reco.ds held by Brandt C. Downey, receiver, partially has been completed preparatory to laying facts before the grand jury, Wilson disclosed. Wilson said at least two weeks would be required before sufficient evidence was obtained from the records for submission to the jury. Wilson declined to say whether the scrutiny revealed evidences of irregularities, although he admitted he had searched statute books for law r s bearing on criminal guilt of bank officials who accept deposits knowing a bank is in a state of insolvency. Failed October 28. The Washington bank failed Oct. 23, and Nov. 14, Circuit Judge Harry O. Chamberlin apopinted Brandt C. Downey, financial secretary of the Methodist hospital, receiver. Wilson said today that Downey had been urged to hasten a final report on the institution at the time of closing, and that the report would bear significantly on the grand jury probe. When Downey was appointed receiver, Chamberlin held that the bank was insolvent following a hearing on a petition of Luther F. Symons, state bank examiner. Bank examiners testified that a review of the bank’s books shortly after the closing showed assets to be $3,127,975, and liabilities $3,127,975. Deposits amounted to $1,374,251, including demand deposits of $681,821 at that time, the hearing disclosed.

Receivership activities in circuit court, according to records, have included numerous petitions center around liquidation of assets. Downey said recently business conditions seriously hampered rapid liquidation of assets.

Cop Is Tagged By United Press V7ASHINGTON, March 26. —A Washington policeman was recommended for dismissal on Wednesday following testimony of a Baltimore prohibition agent that he had been instructed to “get enough ” on the patrolman to cause his dismissal. The agent, R. S. Tag, was assigned to the case after reports had been received by Oscar J. Letterman, police lieutenant, that the patrolman, Thomas D. Atkinson, had been selling liquor. Tag, according to his own testimony, “played Atkinson for a sucker,” posing as a penniless war veteran, and proposing that they drink together. Atkinson’s counsel characterized the alleged frameup as one of the nastiest and meanest pieces of work that ever has come before the trial board.” He gave notice of appeal.

GANDHI HURLS THREAT TO OMIT Intends to Retire If Truce Is Turned Down. By United Press KARACHI, India, March 26. The Mahatma M. K.. Gandhi, prepared to defend his creed of nonviolence against the attacks of extremists, onnounced today that he would retire from politics, temporarily at least, if the All-India Nationalist congress, meeting tonight, rejects his peace truce with the British government. The independence leader, who was the object of hostile demonstrations by “red shirts” throughout Wednesday night, told newspaper men that the execution of Nationalist extremists at Lahore had not affected his position toward the peace settlement. Halting of the executions would have been “outside the terms of the peace truce,” Gandhi said, adding, however, that he believed the government had “committed a firstclass blunder.” Previously the extremists had threatened “to bomb” Gandhi at the congress meeting if Bhagat Singh, the young revolutionary who was executed this week for the Lahore conspiracy and murder of a police commissioner, was not pardoned.

Entered as Second-Class Matter at Postoffice. Indianapolis, Ind.

\ LTHOUGH a half-century of “Bringing in the Sheaves” should entitle any pastor to retirement, the retirement of the Rev. George L. Studebaker to begin next week will be taken with a degree of reluctance. Sunday, Mr. Studebaker will conclude fifty years in the pulpit when he conducts services at the Church of the Brethren, Thirtysecond street and Capitol avenue. He is abandoning “the cloth” to take care of his wife, his ministerial pal since their marriage forty-nine years ago. He’s quitting so she won’t have to work so hard. And in his quitting the church will lose two pastors, Mr. and Mrs. Studebaker. Mr. Studebaker has been deaf for a number of years. The tribulations, lives, loves, mournings of his parish were shouldered by Mrs. Studebaker as well as by himself. She would make his sick calls for him. She would aid him in talking to visitors. She was his secretary and his assistant-pas-tor. But some time ago Mrs. Studebaker broke one day in church. “Her heart,” explained the pastor today. “She became ill and that’s why I’m leaving the pulpit. I want to take care of her as she took care of me,” he said. The Studebakers will live in Muncie.

‘THIRD MAN’ IN LINGLE DEATH, COURT IS TOLD Leo Brothers, Frank Foster and One Other at Tunnel, Says Chef. CROWDS AGAIN GATHER Aisles Jammed as Truck Driver Points Finger at Defendant. BY WILLIAM E. HALLBERG Vnited Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, March 26.—A mysterious third character was drawn into the trial of Leo V. Brothers on charges of murdering Alfred J. Lingle today through the testimony of Otto Svoboda, Bohemian ex-chef who claims to have been at the scene of the crime. In his earlier testimony Svoboda had named Brothers and Frankie Foster, northside gunman, as accomplices in the slaying of the Chicago Tribune reporter on last June 9. Today the fat little cook revealed that he had seen a third man in the pedestrian tunnel beneath Michigan boulevard, where Lingle was shot. Three men, Svoboda said, hurriedly passed him in the tunnel a few seconds before he heard the shot that killed Lingle. Says He Saw Three Men Svoboda was being cross-exam-ined by Harry Cantwell of the defense counsel when the third character w’as mentioned. Q —You were walking through the tunnel?. A—-Yes, slowly. I didn’t have any place to go. Q —You saw two men in the tunnel? A—No, three men. With a pointer, Svoboda showed on a map where he saw the three men hurrying along. The pointer rested at the middle of the tunnel. Svoboda told of identifying Brothers at the Congress hotel after the latter’s arrest in December. “They turned on a strong light and I said, ‘yes, that’s him.’ ” T Can Remember Faces Svoboda said he identified Brothers “because I can remember faces and because he was straining (at the tunnel exit) there as to which way to run.” The courtroom doors were opened forty minutes early today because of the clamor and milling of the record crowd that gathered outside. Women were admitted first. By the time all had been seated, space for men was scarce. The aisles were thick with persons standing. Another 200 waited hopefully i n line at the door. Deputy sheriffs and police continued to search questionable characters for weapons. So far they haven’t found anything more dangerous than a corkscrew. Points at Brothers Patrick Campbell, a tall, bushyhaired young truck driver, was the second witness called by the state. Tyrell Krum. defense attorney, asked to examine Campbell privately and a recess was taken while Krum examined the truck driver. Campbell said that at the hour of the Lingle murder he came out of the Illinois Central subway and was half way up the stairs when he heard a shot. “I walked across the street ar.d was standing there when I heard somebody shout, ‘Stop that man’.” At that cry, he said, a man started running up Randolph street, and went down an alley. “I think it was that man right there.” He pointed at Brothers, who stirred slightly. Campbell said that he saw a priest in the tunnel at the time of the murder. “I met him later as Father John Reynolds,” he said. Father Reynols, a professor in Notre Dame university, is on the state’s witness list. GANGSTER IS CONVICTED Carl Shelton, Notorious In Illinois, Guilty in Booze Trial.
