‘HANGING IS TOO GOOD FOR YOU,' PRISONER TOLD Son Charged With Beating Mother Bound Over by Judge. ‘ Hanging would be too good for J'OU.” With that condemnation by Municipal Judge Clifton R. Cameron, Adrian Shephard, 27, of 2961 North Sherman drive, today is awaiting grand jury action on the charge that he beat his 60-year-old mother when she refused to give him booze money. Shephard was arrainged before Cameron on a charge of assault and battery with intent to. kill. Neighbors and his mother, Mrs. Lieurisa Shephard, testified he had beaten the elderly woman several times. Screams Bring Neighbors Monday, however, was one of the Climaxes in Shephard’s career that has been marked by police interference. Screams of his mother brought neighbors to the house. The court was told he had demanded booze money from Mrs. Shepard and when she refused, he attacked her. “Mrs. Shephard was pinned to the floor by her son,” Mrs. Maude Rumbaugh, 3822 East Thirteenth street, testified. “Adrian had her arm twisted beneath her and was beating her in the face.’’ Shot Neighbor Other testimony revealed Shepherd had shot H. V. Rumbaugh, husband of the witness, several months ago and recently he had struck his father with a wrench for which he served a thirty-day term. A previous attack on his father when he cut the elderly man had brought Shephard into court, but his mother’s pleas saved him from a jail sentence. “The grand jury probably will find this case worthy of action,” Cameron said. “The bond is $2,000.” The alleged attacker’s father, John N. Shephard, told Cameron: “He’sia good boy, except when he’s drinking and then it’s awful.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

RULING PERILS CONGRESSMEN Missouri, Minnesota Face Elections at Large. By Flitted Press WASHINGTON. April 12—More than a soore of congressmen from Missouri and Minnesota were confronted with anew political problem today as a result of the supreme court’s ruling that present redistricting cast in their states are invalid. The thirteen members who will be elected from Missouri in November and the nine to be elected from Minnesota must go before the entire electorate of their states as candidates for election at large unless new legislation, considered improbable, is passed in the meanwhile. One of Minnesota’s present delegations to the house and three of Missouri’s are certain to be eliminated from the Washington scene, as their delegations are reduced by that amount under the 1930 reapportionment. In New York the two additional representatives alloted it under reapportionment will be elected at large.
