ASSAIL JUDGE OVER PENALTY FOR KIRKLAND Attorney-General, Parole Board Members, Senators Criticise Jurist. RAP LIGHT SENTENCE One to 10-Year Term Will Stand, Says Crumpacker, Defying Ogden. A torm of criticism broke today over conduct of Judge Grant Crumpacker of Porter circuit court in the Virgil Kirkland case. The attorney-general, prosecutors, parole board members and state senators Joined in the deluge of denunciation engulfing the jurist. Kirkland, 20, who first was sentenced to life imprisonment for the torture and death of Arlene Draves, got off with a one-to ten-year sentence, on retrial granted by the judge. Today Judge Crumpacker turned down the plea of Attorney-General James M. Ogden to give a five to twenty-one-year sentence as the law provides. The judge wired the attorneygeneral that he was acting under a 1927 statute regarding the sentencing of minors. But Ogden again pointed out that this statute was changed in 1929. making the one to ten-year sentence no longer mandatory, and that the judge could just as ■well have given the five to twenty-one-year sentence. Case Is Called 'Farce’ Crumpackers entire conduct In the case was called “the greatest tragi-comlc farce in the history of Indiana courts’* by Senator C. Oliver Holmes tßep., Lake), who conferred with the attorney-general this morning to see if anything can be done about it. Holmes comes from Gary where both Kirkland and the Draves girl lived and where the crime was perpetrated following a drinking orgy. Upon entering the Indiana . reformatory today, control of Kirkland rests with the trustees. They will take steps to equalize the sentence, it was stated by Chairman K. York of the board, from his home at Marion. “The board has refused leniency to the several prisoners who have had good records merely because the members believed that the sentence which was imposed was,not sufficient for the crime which was committed, ’’ York stated. "Equality” Is Promised “In other words, if some of the inmates are doing five to twentyone years on first degree attack charges, the board probably will take the position that all inmates should serve the same sentence.” York also explained that Kirkland would come before the parole board at the end of his first year m the intsitution and that no action would be taken in his case until that time. Inequality of the sentences imposed by courts is one of the greatest problems faced by reformatory officials, York declared. Inmates at the institution learn that their cell mate or some other prisoner is serving a light sentence for the same crime for which they have been given the maximum penalty and consequently become dissatisfied and difficult to control, the board president asserted. Prosecutor Wants Change At Valparaiso Prosecutor Robert C. Estill said today he was preparing a motion requesting a change of sentence. “I expect to go before the judge Monday with a motion to alter the sentence,” he said after receipt of Ogden s statement. Judge Crumpacker complimented the defense highly on conducting the case in behalf of Kirkland aftar he had received the verdict. “Why, Crumpackers own son was a member of the defense counst’, and yet the judge praised the defense conduct from the Bench," Senator Holmes pointed out today. “I am told that the defense plan to besmirch the character of the dead girl were such that Barrett O’Hara, the chief counsel from Chicago in the first trial, refused to continue with the case. “Surely the founding fathers of this republic never intended that oourts thus conducted should go uncrticised.” AMELIA WILL CROSS NATION IN AUTOGYRO Noted Aviatrix Hops From Newark; Indianapolis on Schedule.

Scientists Land Alive in Balloon Bring Craft to Earth on Glacier Peak in Austria After Flying to Height of 10 Miles. (Pictures on Page l, Second Section) By United Press INNSBRUCK, Austria, May 28.—Professor Auguste Piccard returned to civilization today after a balloon trip to the outer reaches of the earth’s atmosphere, announcing that he had made valuable scientific observations. Piccard and his companion, Charles Kipfer, landed in the closed aluminum gondola of their balloon at about 10 o’clock Wednesday night on a glacial peak seventy-five miles southeast of here. They spent the night on the glacier, which is about 25,000 feet high, and made their way today to the village of Gurgl, perched among the mountain valleys.

2 ARRESTED IN STORE HOLDUP Suspects Will Be Grilled in Jackson, Cop Shooting; Find Bloody Auto. Two men w’ere held here and in Lebanon today for questioning in what police believe is the first clew to bandits who shot Lafayette A. Jackson, Standard grocery chain owner and Detectives Charles Bauer in a holdup attempt Wednesday. Jackson is lying critically wounded in St. Vincent’s hospital, while Bauer is recovering in city hospital. After talking with John Ballard, Westfield restaurant employe, detectives went to 3713 Schofield avenue, home of Grant Bruce, where they found Bruce in bed, with the house locked and shades drawn. Talked of Auto Accident It was there, Ballard said, he and two friends took two men early today, after they appeared in the restaurant, one barefooted, and one obviously hurt. They told Ballard they had been in an auto accident. In Bruce’s home was found a quantity of ammunition for a .45caliber automatic pistol, the type with which Jackson was shot. No gun was located, and his auto was gone. Bruce said he loaned it Wednesday night to Pat O’Brien. Bruce has a police record as a rum runner. Bruce told detectives he was drunk Wednesday night and could not remember any visit of the men from Westfield. They had disappeared this morning. More than twenty-five gallons of alcohol were found in Bruce's home, and he is now under federal indictment on a liquor charge. In Lebanon Wednesday night a car bearing a license issued to Bruce halted at a filling station, Suspicious actions of three men in its drew attention of the Boone county sheriff and an aid, who saw two men flee as they approached the machine. O'Brien was caught, and is held there for possible identification as one of the bandits who staged the holdup and gun battle here. Bloody Auto Found The auto in which the trio drove to the Standard Grocery headquarters at 419 East Washington street, was found early today at Concord and Michigan streets, bullet riddled and bloodstained. It was left there .according to four neighbors, about 7 p.m. Wednesday by a man who walked away. He was young, slender and wore a straw hat. brown suit and mustache. The car was stolen in Shelbyville last Friday and Daniel Yarling, the owner, came to Indianapolis today to recover it. Police today also were considering a phone call from a woman near Shelbyville, who said two men, both shot, were taken to a camp along Flat Rock river, near Shelbyville, Wednesday night.

No shifting of civil and school township funds will be permitted to trustees in keeping their budgets for the next two years within the 1930 limit. This ruling was made by Attor-ney-General James M. Ogden today in an opinion to LawTence F. Orr, chief examiner of the state board of accounts. Hourly Temperatures 6 a. m 66 10 a. m 81 7 a. m 69 11 a. m 82 Ba. m 76 12 moon>.. 84 9 m

Increasing cloudiness tonight, unsettled and cooler with showers Friday; Saturday probably fair with moderate temperatures.

Piccard told the chief of local police over the telephone he had soared to the height which was his goal, a point never before reached by man. He described the trip as wonderful, and the voyage over the Alps, as especially beautiful. The balloon, he said, behaved magnificently and was always in complete control. It was not even damaged in landing on the glacier, he said. Excited World’s Imagination Consequently, the delicate scientific instruments in the gondola and the charts and observations of the trip •were expected to be preserved to science. Piccard was reported to have returned to the mountain this afternoon to retrieve them. The local newspaper quoted him as saying the trip was “a great scientific success.” Piccard’s trip in his oxygen-cham-ber to the rarefied and bitterly cold regions above the earth excited the imagination of the world. But before the start and after his landing, the quiet unobtrusive scientist was calm and matter-of-fact, insisting that as the father of four children he was not risking his life and was confident of the safety of his expedition. In Air for 18 Hours He was little thrilled by the record height he had achieved, but exhibited quiet satisfaction - over the scientific results obtained. The trip, beginning just before 4 a. m. Wednesday at Augusburg and ending shortly after 10 p. m. in the Gurgl range of the Tyrol, lasted eighteen hours. Grave anxiety was felt Wednesday and during the night when the balloon did not land, as the oxygen carried was sufficient for only ten hours. However, it was pointed out that the oxygen would not be drawn on all the time in the air, but only when the balloon was in the upper atmosphere. Why Was Descent Delayed? The complete story of the amazing journey remains yet to be told. In the absence of any explanation of why Piccard did not come down sooner, it waS assumed that when the balloon descended within about 15,000 feet of the earth, it encountered strata of vary temperatures which made it inadvisable to attempt an immediate descent. An unconfirmed dispatch said Piccard told his rescuers he had reached a height of 16,000 meters—--52.480 feet or just under ten miles. The highest ever before attained by man was 43,168 feet, reached by Lieutenant Apollo Soucen, United States navy, in An airplane last June.

STORM HURLS CRACK TRAIN FROMTRACK Eleven Coaches Wrecked in Tornado’s Swoop; 30 Are Injured. ONE PASSENGER KILLED Victim Is Thrown Through Window, Crushed Under Falling Cars. By Times Special MOORHEAD, Minn., May 28. Death, suffering and heavy property damage marked today the zig-zag trail of a freak tornado which swooped down upon the fast Empire Builder, crack Great Northern train, near here and hurled eleven passenger coaches from the rails. One man was killed and more than thirty persons injured w'hen the twister flipped the train from the tracks. A few minutes later another man was crushed to death when the tornado descended again at a point eighteen miles away. That no more were killed in the unique WTeck was considered miraculous, but no less so than the fact that the tornado skirted all centers of population and killed only one as it swept across farm lands of North Dakota and Minnesota. Cloudburst Hampers Rescue Rescue work was hampered by a cloudburst w’hich accompanied the tornado. Seven inches of rain fell within a few hours in some places. The man killed in the wreck was identified as James Anderson of Montesano, Wash. He w r as thrown through a window as the coaches rolled over and was crushed when the train settled down upon its side. On his farm, eighteen miles aw'ay, Andrew Hatledal saw the twister coming, ran to his storm cellar and was crushed to death when a block of concrete fell upon him. The passenger train was en route from the west coast to Chicago w’hen the tornado hit it and flipped it over. . . Passengers to Hospitals Special trains were sent from Moorhead and Fargo to take the injured to hospitals. One relief train brought 102 uninjured persons here. Thirty-seven were taken to hospitals here and ~t Fargo. Most of them were discharged quickly. Several were said to be hurt critically. The following eye witness description of w'hat occurred inside the coaches of the Empire Builder when it w'as -swept dff the track was WTitten for the United Press by Miss Pauline Smith, Seattle, Wash. Miss Smith was in St. John’s hospital, Fargo, being treated for a number of minor bruises and shock: “Hang on For Your Lives” “Four of us were sitting in a drawing room playing bridge when it happened. We had noticed the dark clouds but paid little attention to them. “Suddenly the car began to rock slightly. In a few minutes we felt it begin to swing from side to side, the engineer was slowing down. “Somebody screamed ‘Hang on for your lives,’ and I grabbed the side of the car with all my might. “A second later it seemed as though an unseen hand lifted our car up in the air and tossed it aside. I felt a sensation of falling, but I held my grip, then everything went black and I lost consciousness. Miracle No More Were Killed “When I came to, people were breaking window's and dragging passengers from the WTeckage. “Our coach w’as on its side, and it w’as a miracle that'no more were killed. “I believe I should have been killed had I not held tightly to the side of the car as we went over. That was the only thing that saved me. The Negro porters on the train were wonderful, although some of them w’ere badly hurt. “They would not leave the car and they did everything possible for the women passengers, forgetting thenown injuries in an effort to ease pain and administer whatever first aid they could.

Same First Names, Same Street in Same Town for Two Girls, With the same baptismal names, having played together as youngsters with the same doll in the same town, on the same street, and having been graduated from the same high school, Miss Dorotha Mae Rigor and Miss Dorotha Mae Petty of Connersville, will be graduated at the same time from the nurses’ training school at St. Vincent’s hospital, tonight. v “And that’s not all, for we intend to practice nursing in the same town, our home tow 7 n, Connersville,” Miss Rigor said today. Not Going to Wed Their matrimonial inclinations—or, rather, disinclinations—are similar, for both declare: “We’re going to nurse and not get married.” “I guess we first decided to be nurses when we lived across the street from each other in Connersville. We’d play nurse to our dolls. Then we decided to go in training after we graduated together from the Connersville high school in 1927 so we both went to the same hospital,” they explained. They’re Both Modest “About the only thing the two of us can’t do together is work on the same nursing case. It’s just happened that we’ve never been on the same w'ard or worked on the same case at St. Vincent’s,” they said. “She’s a better nurse than I am,” averred Miss Rigor. “She’s a better nurse than I am," retorted Miss Petty in the same way.

FULL HELD OF FORTY TO START IN SPEEDWAY RACE; BANNER CROWD FORECAST Forty-Seven Cars Qualify, but Slowest Mounts Are Barred by Ruling of A. A. A, A AND B GRANDSTANDS SOLD OUT Thrilling Battle Predicted for Lap Prize Money; Diesel Will Be Center of Interest. BY NORMAN E. ISAACS Indianapolis today became even more than the “crossroads of America,” as thousands of visitors thronged the city, awaiting the annual 500-mile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Saturday. Thousands more are due in today and Friday, and Speedway officials predict that the attendance will equal 1930’s banner mark. With all the mechanical creations in tip-top shape for the race, and preparations virtually complete, it was announced that the huge grand stands A and B at the track were sold out and that only a few seats remained in C. There were seats available, however, in other grand stands, and they are expected to be almost filled when the field of forty cars pulls away from the starting line at 10 Saturday morning.

Forty-seven cars passed the qualification tests, but the slowest six gasolinedriven machine were eliminated because of the A. A. A. ruling providing that only forty cars may start. One car, that of Pete Kreis, was withdrawn after qualifying, because of mechanical trouble, Diesel in Race Os the forty, one is the Cummins Diesel, an oil-burner, one of the two cars in the starting field which qualified at a speed less than 100 miles an hour, and it was remarked freely at the Speedway that it, too, would have made the 100 mark had Clessie L. Cummins, its owner and builder, and Dave Evans, its driver, not desired to have the honor of being the first qualifier. The Diesel was allowed a ten-mile-an-hour ‘handicap,” being assured of a staring place should it make 80 mites an hour. It, however, qualified at 96, w-hile faster gasoline cars w-ere ruled out. The gasoline mounts eliminated, however, were not more than one, two and three miles an hour faster than the Diesel, which qualified with a stiff wind handicapping it on the back stretch. The “pole” position in the race is held by Russell Snowberger in a “home-made” car. The motor is a Studebaker President eight and experts at the track predict the fine showing of the semi-stock model may increase the interest in the race. Innovations are Promised Second and third positions in the front row' are held by the pair of Empire State Specials, Bill Cummings in the front-drive and Paul Bost in the rear-drive. A thrilling battle for lap prize money, for which SIOO a lap is provided, is promised by Snowberger, Cummings, Bost, Billy Arnold, the 1930 winner; Louis Mayer, the 1928 winner, and Shorty Cantlon, second in the 1930 race. Several innovations in motor car design will be exhibited in the race Saturday, aside from the oilburning Diesel. Leon Duray. holder of the track record, will start in his two-cycle sixteen-cylinder car, which carries a positive displacement supercharger. Aside from the Duray creation, three other sixteen-cylinder cars are in the race, one driven by Meyer, another by Cantlon and the third, a Goldberg front-drive, by Joe Huff. Miller-motored creations are predominant in the list of starters and only about eight Duesenbergs will start. Two Ford Motors in Race There are two Ford-motored cars in the classic race, one a Tucker Tappet Ford Special, to be driven by Francis Quinn, and the other a Fronty Special, to be piloted by Gene Haustein, The most popular of old-time race drivers and the most famous, Ralph DePalma, failed to qualify his car late Wednesday, after he had driven it overland from California. The . A. A. ruling that no cars would be qualified after 7:04 p. m. Wednesday deprived De Palma of his chance of breaking into the starting lineup. The famous Ralph, however, had shown “almost nothing” in his test runs and probably he could not have qualified the car. TICKETS WONT BE USED Four Speedway Stubs in Purse Stolen to Get Keys to Auto. There are four seats in grandstand D at Indianapolis Motor Speedway that W. H. Johns, 2007 College avenue, has informed the w’orld had better not be used by anyone but himself Saturday, even though he hasnt the tickets for them.
