FILES FOR WRIT TO FREE BANDIT CAPTURED HERE Spent Gambling Loot, Not Stolen Funds, Attorney Says in Petition. Hunter B. Watson, bank bandit and escaped convict, arrested Friday night, did not spend robbery loot here, but spent winnings from an alleged liquor and gambling le-so’-t at 6400 North Harding street, raided Thursday by deputy sheriffs. This is one of the allegations conla ined in a petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed today in superior court two by Watson s counsel, T. Ernest Maholm. Hearing was set for 2 Wednesday afternoon by Judge Joseph R. Williams. It also is asserted in the petition that Watson is being held only on lniorrnation contained in telegrams to local police from officials of Louisiana and Texas, and that no affidavit is on file against him. Injunction Is Issued Watson is said to have won $470 at the North Harding street address the night before he was arrested with his 17-year-old wife, Loletta. at Twenty-first and Harding streets. In the raid the deputy sheriffs repprted seizure of an elaborate device for playing chuck-a-luck, a dice game, in addition to liquor. Temporary injunction against gambling and booze in the alleged liquor resort was issued Monday by Superior Judge Russell J. Ryan. The suit to close the establishment. filed by Prosecutor Herbert F. Wilson, is set for final hearing next Tuesday. Spent Most of So,ooo During the two weeks he was here. Watson, it is said, spent most of $5,000 having purchased anew automobile, paid for tonsil operations for himself and wife, and extensive dental work for himself. Mrs. Watson, who had been held on a vagrancy charge, was released Monday by Municiptal Judge William H. Sheaffer and was to make a plea today to the board of safety that the automobile and personal effects including her chow dog seized at the time she and Watson were arrested, be returned to her. “I’ll fight,’ is Watson’s comment as Louisiana and Texas officials prepare to ask extradition.

Bush-Leagueing TO be or not to be—that is the question worrying LieutenantGovernor Edgar D. Bush, who tried and failed to cop the Republican nomination for Governor. Now £d is toying with the idea of heading a third party tickpt, backed by the Hoosier Taxpayers’ Union. Inc. t It is known that for several weeks representatives of the tax protest group dickered with Ward Hiner, Liberty party candidate for Governor, on the proposition that Bush should take that place on the ticket, while Hiner moves up to the senator fight—but nothing came of it. Last Tuesday executives of the taxpayers' union met here and discussed a passible third party movement, but no definite action was taken. The leaders believed that the claimed membership of 70,000 would form an excellent nucleus for anew party—-but they have learned that a large majority of their dues paying members are loth to break their old party ties. n n u Some success may be achieved by filing Liberty party legislative tickets in the various counties, and this may be done, while a complete state ticxet probably will be eschewed. ' I won't say I will run as an independent candidate for Governor, and I won’t say that I won't.” Bush told the ol’ doctor while visiting the state fair. Because of the close relationship between the Lieutenant-Governor and George V. Coffin, Marion county Republican boss, partisans of Bush felt that he would be able to get a large vote in Marion county. Coffin was hot for Bush in the G. O. P. st)ite convention and held the line until the last, but Cap doesn’t feel as if backing a third party would be a good gamble, althought he is not averse to helping several independent tickets get into the race because he feels it will pull protest votes which ordinarily would go to the Democrats. But, at that, many members of the taxpers union are wily enough to know that the “Coffin" stamp on their movement would kill it deader than a doornail in Marion and contiguous counties, at least.

Many who claim to know insLt that Bush wouldn't head a third party movement because he has hopes of being named to fill the vacancy oil the federal farm board, turned down several weeks ago by Ernest Thomas, who is now managing Jim Watsons campaign for re-election. The recommendation for the post must, of course, come through Watson. and Bush has been pecking away at him, because he believes the senior senator broke the faith when he backed the Springer Governor nomination campaign. tffiis sharpshooting must be getting undA Jim s hide, because when the question of Bush's appointment was put to him, Watson gave a snort of rage and shouted: ‘‘Bush will get that appointment only over my dead body.”
