(Continued From rage 1) dictment had been secured by perjured testimony of gamblers, bootleggers and grafters whom he had chased out of Muncie, and it asked I that the attorney-general institute an impartial investigation before I subjecting Dale and his colleagues “to the humiliation of trial.” The brief declared that District Attorney George Jeffrey had been misled by false information and had given the case to the grand jury without convincing himself of the j veracity of the wir nesses. Dale sent word, early Wednesday, Ito Representative Louis Ludlow <Dem.) of Indianapolis, that he | would like to have the Indiana | Democratic congressman escort him • to the attorney-general's office. ' Ludlow immediately responded that he believed the request just. All Too Busy Then word was passed to other Democrats in the delegation, and a caucus was held in the office of Speaker John Garner. All were present except Ludlow and Representative Griswold of Peru. In this caucus it was agreed they were too busy to find a time when the entire delegation could make the trip to the justice department.

After much round-about conversation, Greenwood suggested that the proper place to handle the case was in court. Dale soon departed. It was then that Watson came to the rescue. “I know nothing about George Dale’s case,’’ said Watson. “I don’t want to know. But I do want to see that he is given a hearing.” One rumor here, seeking to explain the coldness of the Indiana Democrats toward Dale was to the effect that some Indiana machine leaders had sent word to “steer clear of Dale.” THE ITCH (Scabies) It sole cause is the tormenting itch-mite.
