BY SHERIFF AND HIS DEPUTIES,

DEFENDANT CLAIMS IN COURT

Insurance Head

Trial Is Adjourned Over Week-End With Defense Uncertain | As to Placing Rooming House Keeper On Witness Stand.

By SAM TYNDALL Times Staff Writer

DANVILLE,

Jan. 15.—Special Judge Edgar A. Rice

said today he would rule Monday on whether statements of Mrs. Etta Jones to sheriff's deputies were made under “third degree” methods as charged by the defense.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Jones’ trial ¢

on charges of first degree murder had been adjourned

for the week-end.

The trial reached a high point yesterday when the sober-faced defendant charged privately before Judge Rice that she was ‘“subjected to constant abuse” by Sheriff Ray and his deputies shortly after her arrest. The jury of 11 farmers and a salesman was withdrawn from the courtroom while Judge Rice heard Mrs. Jones describe how officers took her to a funeral parlor and made her touch the body of 13-year-old Helen Schuler, the girl she is accused of murdering in Beech Grove July 14.

Jury Is Withdrawn

The jury again was withdrawn while defense attorneys charged that Mrs. Jones was subjected to the “third degree.” The attorneys objected to introduction as evidence of certain alleged conversations between Mrs. Jones and Police Chief Charles Lowe of Beech Grove. The State won a point when Judge Rice ruled that Mrs. Jones’ testimony had revealed no duress or coercion while questioned by Chief Lowe. After Judge Rice's ruling, the jury was called back into the box and Chief Lowe testified about conversations with Mrs. Jones on the day of the slaying. Before the jury was recalled, Marion County Prosecutor Herbert M. Spencer, who had challenged the defense to prove their “third degree” charges, cross-examined Mrs. Jones. Mr. Spencer went through oral statements given by Mrs. Jones to various officers, asking Mrs. Jones if the statements were true. Mrs. Jones frequently denied many of them and often said, “I don't remember,” or “I don't know whether I said that.”

Don’t Remember

The prosecutor questioned Mrs. Jones Q—Did you tell Sheriff Ray you had a gun while in Louisville? A— Yes. Q—-Did you tell him a man named Spencer who moved you to Indianapolis placed the gun in your dresser drawer? A—I don't re- | member. Q—Did you tell him that the gun was still in your home at 1635 Talbott St. A—Yes. Q—Did he tell you that he had information that you had asked people how to manipulate the gun? A—I don't remember. Q—Did he ask you where you got the cartridges? A—He didn't ask me, he told me. Q—Did he ask you how you accounted for your story that the gun was in the possession of Mrs. Schuler (stepmother of the dead child who was wounded in a struggle with Mrs. Jones) and that you answered that you didn't know but your gun

was in your house on Talbott St. A—I don’t remember. Defense attorneys did not indicate whether they would place Mrs. Jones on the witness stand Monday.

BRIDGE AND GRADING CONTRACTS ARE LET

Earl Crawford, State Highway Commission chairman, announced today the awarding of three ocontracts for bridge and grade separation projects. The grade separation on State Road 46 over the Big Four Railroad in Dearborn County was awarded to the St. Clair Construction Co., Wheaton, Ill, at $42 818.53.

them urged drastic action in this direction at the time of the 1933 banking collapse. While the President spoke of holding companies, his remarks suggested an intention to curb the power of great banking institutions which, though not literally holding companies, exert tremendous influence through correspondent banks all over the country and through ramifications into business and industry. Small in Number

The number of bank holding companies, strictly defined, is not large. A Treasury official said today there are about 50 bank groups in the country, of which about 20 might be defined as holding companies. The business recession again has dramatized the financial control issue. Mr. Roosevelt, in looking about to see what he could do about helping business, discovered again—as he had found in 1933—that a handful of big figures, including bankers, speak for business. Businessmen generally must take their cues from this handful because of their control over credit. This realization has been emphasized in recent speeches by the President and other New Dealers. Mr. Roosevelt has made it a major issue, and subsequent developments indicate it is to be the main issue henceforth. The possible submission of legislation in the near future may precipitate one of the greatest economic battles of the era. Studied by Committee An Administration committee now is studying the bank holding company problem. It is headed by Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau and includes Marriner S. Eccles, Leo T. Crowley, J. F. T. O'Connor and Jesse H. Jones. The President undoubtedly was moved, as far as the banks go, by the advice of a conservative financier of outstanding reputation in his Administration. This man, discussing the recession a few weeks ago, said the Administration was still virtually powerless because of the control by a few New York banks.

VanNuys Opens Fight To Break Filibuster

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15 (U.P). —Prospects for success of the Senate filibuster mounted today despite demands by sponsors of the WagnerVanNuys Antilynching Bill for enforcement of rules against the Southern obstructionist bloc. “We will demand that night sessions be started early next week and that the rules against unnecessary delay be enforced,” Senator VanNuys (D. Ind.) said. “I am confident that the majority leadership will agree with us.” Senator VanNuys, who has been leading the fight for the bill because of Senator Wagner's illness, said the outlook was satisfactory, but that the time was at hand to start bearing down.

train approached and in jumping to clear it, stumbled and fell onto the tracks. Miss AlJean Jones, 18, of 2126 E. Michigan St., died in a Kokomo hospital of injuries she received in an auto wreck that killed one woman and wounded another who still is in a hospital. Mrs. Lola Cawthon, Kokomo, was killed and Mrs. Harold E. Grigdesby, 2248 Guilford Ave., Indianapolis, received a broken ankle and internal injuries. Miss Jones was employed by the C. & J. Tire Co. She was a graduate of Technical High School in 1936 and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Jones. Services are to be at 2 p. m. Monday in the Harry W. Moore Funeral Home. Burial is to be in Memorial Park. Five-year-old Barrett Hatfield, 1224 N. Rural St, today was the only one of the four injured overnight who was still in a hospital. He was reported in “fair” condition by Methodist Hospital att@ches. The boy, police said, ran into the street at 13th and Rural Sts. in front of a car driven by Maurice Fitzgerald, 44, of 622 N. Sherman Drive. He was injured on the leg and head. Mrs. Fitzgerald was not held. A light standard in the 5800 block College Ave. and a telephone pole in the 1700 block E 25th St. were struck last night by two motorists. One man was slightly injured. He was John Rusie, 54, of 6112 Central Ave., driver of the car which allegedly knocked down the light standard. Police said because Mr, Rusie failed to stop after the mishap, they arrested him later at his home on a charge of failing to stop after an accident. Donald Keith, 22, of 725 N. Sheffield Ave. was treated at City Hospital for face cuts and bruises after his auto struck a utility pole in the 1200 block W. Michigan St. early today.

Mrs. Davis’ Trial Monday

Criminal Court Judge Frank P. Baker today changed the drunken driving sentence of Elmer W. Pettit, 22, from 45 days on the State Farm to 10 days in jail. He had affirmed a lower court's conviction after hearing testimony yesterday. Mrs. Florence Simmons Davis, 27, accused of involuntary manslaughter in the traffic death of 14-months-old Barbara Condit at Virginia Ave. and Noble St. last June, is to go on trial here Monday before Judge James A. Emmert of Shelbyville. Judge Emmert yesterday overruled a defense motion for a change of venue from the county. Mrs. Davis also faces a charge of failing to stop after the accident:

10 Per Cent of New

Drivers Fail Test

Approximately 10 per cent of the 40,000 new drivers who have taken examinations to secure operators’ licenses have failed to pass, Roberts G. Hill, State Drivers’ License Hearing Judge, reported today. Mr. Hill also announced there was about a 60 per cent increase in drivers’ license revocations in 1937 as compared with the 1936 total of 1601. The 1937 figure, compiled from court records, and the reports in Mr. Hill’s division, is 2585. Meanwhile, Frank Finney, Indiana Motor Vehicles Commissioner, branded as “absurd” reports that other states will ban Hoosier motorists with windshield cardholders.

Agreement Claimed

“States from Maine to Texas have agreed to recognize the cardhold= ers,” Mr. Finney said. He said State officials of some states had informed him they would adopt similar windshield identification cards. “There have been false statements made about the cardholders, and many people are honestly misinformed,” Mr. Finney stated. At the same time, Dr. Verne RE, Harvey, State Health Board head, reported Indiana's 1937 automobile death toll was 1435, an increase of 86 over 1936. The figures were compiled for the Board's an= nual vital statistics report. October was the most dangerous month of 1937, with 163 traffic fatalities. January, when road conditions normally are the worst, with ice and snow creating hazards, was the safest driving month, with only 87 deaths. The number of licenses revoked for drunken driving last year was 1954 compared to 1231 in 1936, an increase of 723. Drunken driving

revocations have increased each year since 1933, Mr. Hill said, when 572 motorists lost licenses on this charge. The 1934 total was 618, and the 1935 total 838. “Revocations during 1937 dropped from 891 in the third quarter to 715 in the fourth, which seems to indicate that the public is beginning to co-operate with the various safety campaigns,” he said. “The

Joan Blondell

POWELL ADOPTS HIS WIFE'S SON

And Joan Blondell Renounces Satirical Poem as Barnes Gives His Blessing.

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 15 (U. P.).— Dick Powell wrote the makings of a movie scenario on the docket of Juvenile Court today by moving to adopt the son of his wife, Joan Blondell, by a previous husband— and with that husband’s blessings. It was such a happy ending to a tangled romance as no screen writer ever imagined. It caused Miss Blondell to renounce the following verse, which she penned after her divorce in 1935 from George Barnes, her cameraman: “Life is phoney with baloney, “From the start until it's done; “Gold or tatters, neither matters “For the strife of life is fun!” She forgot this poem today, with the magnanimity of Barnes in renouncing all claim to his son revealed, and said: “Dick and I are more gloriously happy than ever before.” Mr. Powell said: “I am grateful to Barnes for his unselfish gesture,” while the father of 3-year-old Norman Scott Barnes announced : “I realize a child often is handicapped when its parents are divorced and I have consented to the adoption because Dick is a fine fellow and I am sure Norman will receive real fatherly love and good care.”

The new law requires physical #nd mental tests. Applicants also are questioned on their knowledge of traffic statutes. “I have had a lot of protests from persons who failed to receive licenses,” Mr. Hill said, “but not a single denial has been changed. No political attempts have been made to ‘Ax’ a case, either.” The examinations are given by a special force of State Police and Auto License Division employees.

Reconstruction Finance Corp. as its general counsel, serving there until March, 1935. At that time he was appointed by President Roosevelt as Solicitor General, succeeding J. Crawford Biggs. Mr. Reed was a member of the Kentucky Legislature for four years, 1912-16. He was once a director of the Federal Commodity Credit Corp. and a trustee of the Export-Import Bank of Washington, a member of the Federal Board of Hospitalization, and American Red Cross counselor,

Born in Kentucky

He was born in Mason County, Kentucky, Dec. 31, 1884. He took a bachelor’s degree at Kentucky Wesleyan College, and a similar degree at Yale University in 1906, where he won the Bennett scholarship prize. Then he studied law at the University of Virginia and Columbia University. In 1909-10, he studied at the University of Paris, France. During the World War, Mr. Reed served as a lieutenant. He was admitted to the Kentucky bar, in 1910, and began practice at Maysville. As RFC general counsel, Mr. Reed directed much of that strategic organization's work in untangling the 1933 banking crisis.

Defended Court Plan

Mr. Reed's defense of President Roosevelt's court proposal was made in an exchange of letters with Ashurst. “Although the Court has remained abreast of its docket,” Mr, Reed declared, “there can be no question in my judgment that the burden resting upon the Court has increased substantially in recent years—both the burden of hearing and deciding cases and the burden of determining whether petitions for review should be granted.” As Solicitor General, Mr. Reed won 11 victories in the Supreme Court for important New Deal legislation, and lost two other important cases. He lost the NRA and AAA decisions, but won victories for the TVA, the gold clause, the Holding Company Act, the Railway Labor Act insuring collective bargaining, the Wagner Labor Act, processing tax, the PWA and gold bond refunding case.

By NEA Service Solicitor General Stanley Reed is a Kentucky lawyer who, like Lincoln, emerged from a sturdy, weatherbeaten log cabin home. And like Lincoln's, Mr. Reed's cabin is in Kentucky. But there the resemblance ends. Lincoln's cabin was an expedient of nature, Mr. Reed's is a case of taste for simplicity and early American surroundings. Mr. Reed’s cabin is a several-roomed log and stone structure, sturdy and framed by trees, modernized and picturesque. It was erected ‘before the Civili War and is reached by a corkscrew road up a mountain overlooking Maysville and the Ohio River. Portly, pince-nezzed Mr. Reed was runner-up on the President's appointee list when Justice Willis Van Devanter of Indiana resigned, and Mr. Reed's prestige since has increased commandingly. Resignation of Justice George Sutherland at 75, therefore, turned

the spotlight again on this middle aged Government attorney. The crisis of the banking emer= gency in 1933 first thrust Mr. Reed into the front in the Roosevelt counsels. For several years Mr, Reed was attorney for the old Hoover Farm Board and in 1932 he became general counsel for the RFC under President Hoover. Few men were so intimately acquainted with the legal intricacies of Fede eral banking and finance as was Mr. Reed. Mr. Roosevelt turned to him and Mr. Reed served the President ably as a legal expert during and after that historic bank holiday. He was slated for a Federal judgeship in Kentucky when the President decided he should be Solicitor General. Mr. Reed accepted and thereby plunged himself into a staggering job — the defense of New Deal laws before the U. S. Sue preme Court,

His arguments have indicated definite liberalism along with a dee sire to fit New Deal laws into rea= sonable constitutional limitations, He has argued the gold clause case, the AAA, the Wagner act and many other cases, recently with conspicue« ous success,

No man, except the President, perhaps, has borne a greater strain in the last two years. On the day, for instance, that he appeared before the U. S. Supreme Court to defend the AAA, Mr. Reed also argued for the Bankhead Cotton Law, At 2:30 p. m. Chief Justice Hughes called for the case of “U. 8. vs. Hoosac Mills.” Up rose Mr. Reed colorless, competent, beginning in monotone a defense of the Agricule tural Adjustment Act. No flowers. No showy stuff. No gestures, Next day, handsome, tremulous= voiced George Wharton Pepper answered, attacking the power of Congress to pass such an act. Vi brant, gesturing, he closed: “I am pleading the cause for the America I love, and I pray Almighty God that not in my time will the land of the regimented be substituted for the land of the free!” Mr. Reed rose again, pompous in aspect but not in manner. He said he was just as emotional as Mr, Pepper. He told about unfair dis advantage to ‘30,000,000 farm men, women and children.”

’ Not Emotionless

Then his arms waved. He showed that emotion. “General welfare. , . This is no regimentation!” he shouted, holding the Court's attention close= ly to the close of his argument. Government lawyers, previously critical of Mr. Reed for his lack of force, were delighted. Later that day, arguing for the Bankhead Cotton Act, Mr. Reed collapsed. McReynolds and others had pressed him on a technical issue, The strain of it all, especially the AAA, burst suddenly on the Solicitor General and he fainted. Mr. Reed, a Democrat, served in the Kentucky Legislature from 1912-16, was first lieutenant in the Army in 1918, and in 1922 became counsel for the new Burley Tobacco Growers’ Co-operative Marketing Association. In this work he had become ase sociated with the Federal Farm Board, becoming general counsel under President Hoover and in 1932 general counsel for the newly created RFC.
