Public's Failure to Help

Witnesses Often Refuse To Prosecute, County Aid Declares.

By SAM TYNDALL The public should shoulder most of the blame for the poor record in criminal case convictions, Prosecutor Herbert M. Spencer declared today. \ He answered charges made yesterdav by Juage Richard Hartshorne, Interstate Crime Commission chair-| man, that prosecutors should bear responsibility . for the few convictions. { Judge Hartshorne told American | Legion national executive commit- | teemen that only 11 per cent of of- | fenses reported to police resulted in convictions, and that more possible convictions fail to materialize | after the cases reach prosecutors, “We fail to make hundreds of | cases each vear because the public involved in the cases fails to give us co-operation,” Mr. Spencer said.

Witnesses Back Out, Claim

“By this I mean prosecuting and corroborating witnesses in many | cases refuse to press prosecution | after having once asked us to prose- | cute. “This lack of co-operation par- | ticularly evidences itself in criminal traffic accidents, and assault |

cases involving bad checks, swindles and battery. “In these types parties often make of court and prosecuting witnesses

and battery cases, which are most common, injured parties cool off and: conciliation is affected after original charges have been preferreaq. “When the case comes to trial the prosecuting wi many times fails to show in court, This is where we lose convictions, “We many convictions on | charges because restitution or settlements have been made before trial and witnesses then lose interest in prosecuting.” Mrs. Spencer said defense attorneys take advantage of this weakness bv delaying trials in the hope of such settlements or conciliation or even death of important prosecuting witnesses.

Indiana.

Times Speeinl LAFAYETTE, Nov. 19—An| estimated 34,400 bushels of apples were purchased in Indiana by the Federal Surplus Commodities Corp. during its apple surplus removal program last month, it was an-| nounced today. Pat Henry, FSCC purchasing | agent, Said the program had been | completed in Indiana. He said that | up to Nov. 6, a total of 67 carloads of apples, averaging more than 500 bushels a car, had been shipped. These purchases were made as part of a national program to remove price-depressing surpluses in areas where supplies are crowding | the market. The apples are being | distributed for relief purposes in| such a way as not to interfere with marketing of apples through regular commercial channels, Mr. Henry said. The varieties purchased in In- | diana included Grimes, grading U. (S., combination U. S. No. 1 and | Utility or better. Mr. Henry estab- | lished temporary headquarters at 1220 Drover St., Indianapolis, handling purchases in this state from] that office. The program was necessary, Mr. | Henry said, because total production | of apples in the United States was | several million bushels above nor- | mal, and prices at correspondingly | | low 1 | Up to Nov 6, a total of 1,744,206 | bushels of apples had been purchased throughout the United | | States, with a total expenditure of | | $569,000 from Agricultural Adjust- | [ ment Administration funds.

Is This, or Isn't This Connie’

Is this a “true portrait” of Constance Bennett, beautiful blond movie star? You can be an unofficial judge in Hollywood court action over the above painting. Artist Willy Pogany, who created it, is demanding Constance pay $3500 for her soul, her spirit and her aura as done in oils. But practical Connie says maybe her soul is there, but she can't see her eves, her mouth, or even her hands in Pogany's work. Connie has refused to accept the portrait.
