Rouben Riley, ther, returned from war. The perty had been acquired by in 1846. Eventually the property passed from the hands of the poet's family.

Until Jast summer, his widow retained the house as her home but gave it up to ‘lve in California. The Riley heirs agreed to sell the property only on the condition that would always remain in the custody of the city and the provision was incorporated in the ordinance

for purchase. Interesting Features

“Interesting features of the old home are the beautiful old walnut in the reception room built ¥ Capt. Riley, a man skilled in the use of tools; the side porch where han Annie “shooed the chick8” and “brushed the crumbs away”; the “cubby hole and press” e the parents searched for the ttle boy who wouldn't say his yers in the poem, “The Goblins’ll t You if You Don’t Watch Out.” Restoration is to start at once. Riley Memorial Park now includes the Riley home, the OI ymin’ Hole, the Brandywine and ‘other haunts of the beloved Indiana poet. 1 £ ,

of fright 30 minutes before she executed. She rode to death in a

wheel ‘chair, unconscious, and felt | when 2000 volts of electric- |

W. C. Smith, owner of the Indiana Sits

Film Transfer Co., testified he signed

a contract with the union after several of his trucks were stoned. On cross examination Mr. Smith

said he did not like the union and |

had been cited once by the NRA authorities for alleged overtime working of his drivers. Mrs. Marjorie White, firm general manager, testified that Peats and Williams threatened to have the trucks stoned unless a closed

{ shop contract was signed.

A fragment of rock he claimed he found on a ledge in the Penny truck was described by Sheriff Albert

i Shane of Hendricks County. He

said he saw.a large stone with “dark red stains” on it 35 feet from the truck the morning following the al-

: leged stoning.

He said that he searched the field into which the truck careened that night with a flash light without discovering any missiles, and that Kroger officials picked up some roclgs from the road the nex( morn{ing and removed them from the county. Albert _S. Johnson, ‘Fletcher Trust Co. handwriting expert, that neither Peats nor Williams had signed their-names or written on a letter and .envelope alleged to. have been sent to Penny. The letter asked Penny to pay his union dues. Fred Rentschler, a nonunion truck driver, testified on rebuttal that Haygood, Crickmore, Mr. Peats’ father, William Peats, and a union man named Kansas City Louis beat him up near Pleasant Gardens, Ind. Sept. 20, 1934. “Harry Peats told me that if 1 did not join the union I would get some hot lead and would never arrive in Indianapolis,” Rentschler said.
