‘LEGS' DIAMOND ON TRIAL AGAIN FOR RUM RING Convicted but Once in 26 Arrests Is New York Hoodlum’s Record. By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 5.—A Kansas Judge who is a former Anti-Saloon League official, and a Jury included an art dealer, architect and a burlesque show producer, were to hear the United States government's evidence against Jack (Legs) Diamond, racketeer, today. Diamond is charged with organizing a high-powered liquor racket in the sleepy Catskill hills of Green county. The federal government is seeking conviction of a man who has a record of one conviction in twenty-six arrests, and who recently was acquitted in a state case while another man was convicted on the same charge as Diamond’s aid in the same alleged crime. The Kansas Judge, Richard J. Hopkins of Topeka, made it clear in interviews and comments from the bench that he expected no man's personal opinion on prohilbtion to influence his Judgment on the Diamond case. The judjge ordered the Jurors, selected in just two hours, locked up for the night because he did not want them to be influenced by anything they might read on the case. Rumors that Diamond had planned to follow the example of Alfonse (Scarface Al) Capone and plead guilty in the hope of getting a light sentence were dispelled when the case was called. Diamond, slim, nervous and anemic-looking, sat at the counsel table and watched intently each prospective juror. He wrote .the names of those that did not suit him on a scratch pad and his attorneys challenged them. At other times he displayed his nervousness by constantly making figures on the scratch pad or fingering his face and chin. Paul Quattrocchi, Diamond lieutenant who ran the Hollywood Inn at Cairo, also is on trial. B. F. SHAUFELBERGER DIES AFTER OPERATION Last Rites for Paper Firm Representative to Be Thursday.

STATE PARK TO GIVE COMEDY SATURDAY Civic Theater Will Present “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at McCormick’s Creek Canyon State Park. SATURDAY at McCormick’s Creek Canyon State park, the department of conservation will try out for the first tiffie, a plan of giving outdoor dramatics as a week-end entertainment feature. The Civic Theater of Indianapolis will take a company of twentyfive players to present the Shakespearean comedy, "A Mid Summer Night's Dream.” It is thought that the presentation of such light entertainment will furnish a welcome diversion to visitors to the park who are desirous of remaining within the cool environs of the woods during the late afternoon and early evening hours who may have had their fill of picnicking.

There is the added fact that with the gradual diminution of Chautauquas and with the disappearance of the traveling Shakespearean companies of fifteen years ago, there have been few, if any, adequate presentations of Shakespeare except in the larger cities. So far as is known, this is the first time in eighteen years that a touring company has presented "A Midsummed Night’s Dream” in Indiana. The Civic Theater players will be the same as those used in the Indianapolis production which drew large crowds and was highly successful. Among the cast are several of the best known players of the regular Civic Theater company, a group of juvenile and adult dancers and a special comedy unit which plays the play within the play. There is an almost continuous musical accompaniment and for the night performance, there are elaborate fighting effects. The manuscript from which the play has been produced is a special adaptation. cutting but not otherwise TRAPPED BY BLAZE Miss Loris Walker, 17, Dies in Farm Field Fire. Burns suffered when she trapped in a stubble field fire on her father’s home, three miles south of Greenfield, proved fatal to Miss Loris Walker, 17, late Tuesday night at the Methodist hospital. Miss Walker was in a stubble field when the field blazed suddenly. Workers blasting tree stumps on the farm are believed to have fired stubbles accidentally. Flames surrounded the girl. Charles Hadley, a neighbor, rushed into the blazing field fire to rescue the girl. He was burned in taking her out of the blaze. Burns on the body, face, and hands of Miss Walker resulted in death. Hadley suffered minor burns about the hands and face. Injuries Catise Death By United Press LOGANSPORT, Ind., Aug. 5.

tampering with the original text for the purpose of making the play more enjoyable and understandable to young people and with the intent to produce it as nearly as possible in the manner of Shakespeare’s own day so far as the text is concerned. The costumes, lighting effects and musical accompaniment belong, of course, to the more modern version. There will be a matinee at 4 in the afternoon and an evening performance at 8:15. These will take place near the hotel in a natural amphitheater created years ago by the sinking of the ground over a subterranean stream. The audience will be seated on the gently sloping sides of the bowl, while the stage will be in the little grove of trees at the bottom of the depression. Among the more prominent members of the cast are Arthur J. Beriault, who was for many years a Shakespearean actor; George Lehman. Edward Green, Mary Florence Fletcher, Jac Broderick and Rae Cawdell. a a a Indianapolis theaters today offer: ‘Pagan Lady” at English's, “The Miracle Woman” at the Lyric, “Confessions of a Co-Ed” at the Indiana, “Mother’s Millions” at the Apollo, “Politics” at the Palace, “Broad Minded” at the Circle, “Indiscreet” at the Ohio, and burlesque at the Mutual.
