BATTLE OVER FEES DELAYS MASON TRIAL Alleged Slayer of Jones May Go Free on Technicality. BY DICK MILLER Titnrs SUIT Writer Trial of Willie Mason, indicted for the brutal murder of Police Sergeant Lester E. Jones, is being delayed indefinitely because his pauper attorney and Marion county can not agree on what constitutes a fair fee for the attorney. This delay may result eventually in Mason obtaining his freedom on one of two legal technicalities, either that the trial was too long delayed or, in ihe event the present attorney refuses to serve, that Mason was not given, as a pauper, the best available counsel. Circuit Judge Fred Hines. Noblesville, has indicated that he offered Mason a trial in May, but that the prisoner and his attorney, Floyd Christian, also of Noblesville, reached an agreement for delay with Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson's office here while Mr. Christian; sought his fee for the first trial. Appointed by Hines Appointment of pauper attorneys is entirely in the hands of judges in counties to which cases are transferred on venue changes, but the size of their fees remains a matter for Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker here. Hence, Mr. Christian is serving under Judge Hines’ appointment, but his fee must be approved by Judge Baker. Mr. Christian asked $1,200 for his first defense of Mason. Judge Hines suggested this be cut to SBOO and Mr. Christian agreed. Judge Baker thought SBOO was too much and, in addition, said the second defense would bring Mr. Christian just S2OO. Mr. Christian, says he won't work for that little. He points out that he spent more than two weeks in court at the first trial. Mattice Is Sympathizer Floyd Mattice, in charge of Mason’s prosecution as Mr. Wilson’s chief deputy, is inclined to sympathize with Mr. Christian. He recalls telling the Noblesville lawyer, as a fellow barrister, before the first trial that it would be advisable to get some sort of an agreement as to when and how much he was to be paid. Mr. Mattice said he had in mind at that time the case of a Lebanon attorney who never received his pauper fee for defending another man in a case transferred from this county. Quite incidentally, Mr. Mattice's courtroom engagement July 9 with the officials of the Meyer-Kiser bank probably would preclude holding the trial before Judge Hines’ summer adjournment, even if Mr. Christian's fee and other financial troubles could be adjusted by then. County Owes $4,600 These other troubles, while not as dramatic or humorous as Mr. Christian's fight for his fee, bulk considerably large in amount. Judge Hines is not inclined to order another trial, he says, as long as Marion county owes Hamilton j

county $4,600 for change of venue cases tried there in 1933. The bill for this $4,600 was rendered March 31. The judge is a believer in collecting such bills. Before the first Mason case was tried, he advised Marion county officials to pay up several hundred dollars then due for venue change trials. Mason was arrested some time after the shooting of Sergeant Jones in 1931. He was suffering from a bullet wound at the time and city hospital surgeons were forced to amputate his foot to save his life. GAS ATTENDANT ROBBED “Customer” Steals S2O, Kidnaps Filling Station Man.

DEALERS BACK NEW BEER LAW BEFORE COUNCIL Early Adoption Advocated by Lawyer for Case Owners’ Group. Introduction of an ordinance prohibiting the sale of beer and hard liquor after 1 a. m. was the highlight of the city council meeting held last night. Urging passage of the bill “as soon as possible,” Wilbur A. Royse, attorney, voiced approval of the bill on behalf of the Marion county organization of Retail Beverage Dealers of America. More than 100 members of the association met yesterday afternoon and unanimously supported the ord,nance, Mr. Royse. assoication attorney, told council members. Only changes in the ordinance as originally drafted and announced by Herbert M. Spencer, assistant city attorney, were elimination of the clause prohibiting employment of minors in liquor and beer establishments and setting noon instead of 1 as the hour at which sale may be resumed on Sundays. The beverage association's approval eliminates one of the principal objections to the ordinance—the fear that business of dealers in the city would be driven to outlying points in the county beyond city police jurisdiction. "We are determined to enforce the ordinance, if passed, through our own investigators, and do not intend to rely solely on police,” Mr. Royse asserted. "We want to save the business from disrepute and keep it on a higher plane.” Ordinances passed by the council included one providing for a $600,000 temporary loan to meet expenses of the city until the fall installment of taxes is received, and also one appropriating $750 to the city street commissioner's department from the gasoline tax fund. An ordinance which would have required wrecking companies to obtain a SIOO license fee was stricken from the files. Board Vacancy Filled Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan yesterday named Hubert Riley. 64, manager of the American Paper Stock Company, as a member of the safety board to fill the vacancy created by the resignation several months ago of Frank C, Dailey.

He has been active for many years in Democratic politics in the Old Third ward on the south side and for the last twenty years in the Seventh ward. He resides at 2320 North Alabama street. He is a member of SS. Peter and Paul cathedral and a past exalted ruler of the Elks lodge. Indianapolis Tomorrow Sahara Grotto fireworks festival, 7:30 p. m„ Perry stadium.
