EX-POLICEMAN'S BOND RAISED IN SCANLAN CASE Action Is Taken as Defense Rests: State Offers Rebuttal Evidence. Bond of Melvin Lee Hindman, former policeman, defense witpess and co-defendant with James C. Scanlan, auto dealer accused of fraudulent sales conspiracy, today was raised from SI,OOO to $7,500 in criminal court by Clyde Karrer, special judge. Karrer raised the bond on the plea of state's attorneys who pointed out that Hindman no longer is an Indianapolis resident and now resides in Traverse City, Mich. The defense rested at noon today and the state in rebuttal offered the testimony of Miss Elinor Taylor employe of the Consolidated Finance Company, which showed Hindman had signed a contract last June 2 with her company and had made payments on it. Hindman Is Grilled This evidence was intended to • show that Hindman was in the habit of signing contracts for Scanlan as testimony Wednesday show’ed he signed a contract las! June 14 with the Associate Finand Company of South Bend. Grilled by Floyd Mattice. chiel deputy prosecutor, Wednesday afternoon, Hindman testified he never had license plates for the automobile received from Scanlan. The state contended in its case that Hindman signed a sales contract for purchase of a car from Scanlan, enabling Scanlan to discount the contract with a finance company, but that the car never existed. Hindman Is Questioned Hindman, who still was on the stand at adjournment Wednesday, was questioned closely by Mattice regarding the transaction. The witness testified that he signed the contract in blank, and although signing an application for registration, never received a certificate of title or license plates. The witness testified that license plates on the car, which he used for four months, were dealer’s license plates borrowed from another company. "Didn't you know' that it is against the law for a car owner to use dealer plates longer than fifteen days?” Mattice questioned. "No,’’ Hindman replied. Links Other Officers Hindman also disclaimed knowledge of the law relating to registration of automobiles. Other unnamed police officers were linked in the case by testimony of C. H. Spencer, Associates Investment Company employe, who related a conversation which took place when Scanlan was asked regarding the manner in which signatures were obtained on bogus sales contracts. “I have many friends, especially in the police department, and they signed the contracts,” Spencer said Scanlan replied. The case was expected to go to the jury late today. POLICE SCHOOL OPENS 35 Members of Slate Force Start on 3-Day Training Course.

Bad Dog of White House Moggie the Scottie Keeps the Roosevelt’s Busy from One Minute to the Next. Hil I iiittd Press WASHINGTON. April 27. Meggie, the White House Scottie, is taking part in the international economic conversations in a way that sometimes proves vexatious to statesmen, diplomats and Mrs. Roosevelt herself. Even the Scotch w'histle of Miss Ishbel MacDonald, who left Washington Tuesday evening, has had no effect w'hen Meggie determined to do a little scampering.

When President Roosevelt. Prime Minister MacDonald and their party visited the Gloucester fishing schooner, the Gertrude L. Thebaud. the dog accompanied them. She was unleashed. As the White House car drew up to the dock Meggie jumped out and started running as fast as her short legs would carry her. Meggie finally was cornered under the automobile and secret service men were dismayed to see Mrs. Roosevelt all but crawling ntider the car to extricate Meggie. n a tt MEGGIE next distinguished herself by chasing another dog which was being led on a leash. Mrs. Roosevelt scolded Meggie and apologized for her conduct. On another occasion, when Mrs. Roosevelt started out from the White House for tea with Ruth Bryan Owen, minister to Denmark, Meggie darted out in full pursuit. Mrs. Roosevelt did not want the dog to accompany her, but it took a sizeable contingent of White House policemen to prevent it. Meggie has shown extreme interest in the statesmen who have visited the White House and cultivates their acquaintance at every opportunity.
