ORDER REMOVAL OF SOLDIERS’ BODIES

Confederate Veterans to Be Reinterred at Crown Hill. Removal of the bodies of 1,616 Confederate soldiers and twentytwo civilians from Greenlawn cemetery to Crown Hill cemetery, has been ordered by the quartermastergeneral’s office of the United States army. This decision follows a recent visit to Indianapolis of a representative of the quartermaster-general’s office. It is announced in a letter received by Representative Louis Ludlow from Major-General John L. DeWitt, quartermaster-general. Buried in Trenches The bodies that are to be removed first were buried in trenches at Camp Morton, and later were reburied in trenches at Greenlawn cemetery. A large monument was erected at Greenlawn on which the names of the deceased were inscribed, but some years ago that monument was removed to Garfield park. Thus, the bodies were left without identification. Location of the bodies was found by borings at the cepietery. “Greenlawn cemetery is poorly located and probably never would be kept up as we desire,” the letter from General DeWitt says. “At Crown Hill cemetery, the remains will receive the same perpetual care as given to the many thousands of soldiers’ remains now interred at that place. Allotment Is Made “An allotment of funds has been made and the reinternment will be carried on as rapidly as possible. “There will be suitable ceremonies at the time the bodies are moved to Crown Hill cemetery, the troops for the occasion to be furnished by Ft. Benjamin Harrison.” While the details of the ceremony have not been arranged, it is assumed by Ludlow that in addition to the customery military honors, there w T ill be an address by some nationally known speakers.

of the International Labor Defense who has him on a nationwide tour to work up public sentiment for the release of Billings, Mooney, the seven other Imperial Valley prisoners and for a general amnesty for all other “political” prisoners throughout the country.

FARM MOTHER ON TRIAL FOR POISONDEATH Mrs. Carrie Simmons Faces Murder Charge; Child Was Victim. (Continued from Page One) when she whispered a few times to her husband and defense counsel. Other members of her family sat nearby. Only break in Mrs. Simmons’ serious mien came after the morning session of court, when Sheriff Small told her they were going to the jail to “get our beans.” Mrs. Simmons laughed and told Small she was hungry. Refuses to Make Statement At no time since she was charged with the poison murder has Mrs. Simmons made any statement. It appeared she will maintain this attitude until she is called to the witness stand to deny, in her own words, the circumstantial charges the state of Indiana has laid at her feet. That Mrs. Simmons will testify in her own behali was announced today by Robert H. Tyndall, defense counsel. “Mrs. Simmons will take the stand to tell her story,” he said. “We want to tell the story, but didn’t get the opportunity before the grand jury.” Question of Ben Scifres, Boone county prosecutor, to determine whether prospective jurors had any scruples against the death penalty brought opposition from the defense. Lawyers Are Rebuked In the majority of the instances Hornaday upheld the state’s attorney, asserting it was his right to quiz the jurors on the question, although their duty only is to find the defendant either guilty or not guilty. Under the Indiana law the court fixes the punishment when a guilty verdict is returned. After Scifres and W. H. Parr Jr., defense . attorney, staged a verbal wrangle when Parr challenged the prosecutor as to whether the latter “wanted to try this case,” the court scored the lawyers. “I want it understood at the beginning of the case that any objections will be made to the court and not among yourselves,” Hornaday said. “I will not tolerate any arguments between attorneys.” Three Are Dismissed Seat No. 2 in the jury box ended the career of three men as jurors in the case. All farmers, Otis Batts, George C. Cleever and Arthur Boles, were dismissed after brief questioning. Batts was prejudiced against circumstantial evidence, and the others had scruples against the death penalty. Although the prosecution bore on the death penalty questioning, it was reported reliably that the state probably will not demand death in the electric chair for Mrs. Simmons. Simmons spent some time in jail with his wife before the trial opened. It was then that she was told her son George had been involved in an automobile accident near Greenfield Sunday night, in which two persons were killed. George Simmons walked to the courtroom with his face dotted with bandages. % 150 Veniremen Present Neither Mrs. Simmons nor her husband made any effort to dodge newspaper photographers, who awaited her first step from the jail since her arrest three months ago. One hundred fifty veniremen were on hand in the circuit court, in readiness to fill the vacant places in the jury box. A body- of friends of the Simmons family from the Nameless Christian church near Greenfield were in the courtroom audience. They spent Sunday evening in praying for her acquittal. Approximately sixty witnesses have been summoned in the case. Every member of the Simmons and Pollard families who attended the fatal picnic has been called to recite from the stand the events leading up to and following the poisoning. SEABURY STARTS QUIZ OF JUDGESHIP DEALS Probe May Involve G. O. P. Chief Who Launched Gotham Inquiry, By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—Samuel Seabury, city investigator, today turned his attention to an alleged “political deal” by which seven Democrats and five Republicans were nominated for twelve new supreme court judgeships in the second judicial district by both major ! parties.

One of the nominees, County ; Judge George H. Furman, is regarded as Macy’s personal choice. Seabury is expected to bring out at a public hearing soon details of an alleged agreement between major party leaders dividing the judgeships between the organizations.
