Drivers Claim Confusing Signs Lead to Violations

Motorists claim they have excuses for traffic violations at numerous points in Indianapolis. Many drivers going southwest at 10th St. and Massachusetts Ave. have been arrested for failure to stop at a pref-

erential street.

They claim that they cannot see the *stop” sign (extreme right), especially at night.

Not married, of course, they were pupils whose teacher took advantage of specially low rates for parties of pupils to the show. Scores of schools have sent entire classes and many more have set dates for such tours, show officials say. “The encouraging thing about it,” one official said, “is that these future home owners are in dead earnest about learning as much as they = can, in comparing values, and in ~ gathering some knowledge of the gproblems—ang delights—of building # a home.

BRIGHT KILLERS’ PLEA IS STUDIED

Irregularities in Trial Are Charged Before State Supreme Court.

Appeals for Vurtis Neal and Hugh Marshall Jr, now under sentence to die May 13 for the “chance slaying” of William H. Bright, Indianapolis druggist, were being studied today by the Indiana Supreme Court. Alleged irregularities in the Shelby County Circuit Court trial for the two youths form the basis of the appeal, defense attorneys told the Supreme Court during oral arguments yesterday. Deputy Attorney General James K. Northam replied that the appeals were being “taken on a highly technical ground, » and added that there was no dispute about the crime, which he said started with a holdup at Noble and Washington Sts. in Indianapolis Jan, 2, 1937, and ended with the slaying in a Shelby County corn field. Fred Cramer, Shelby County prosecuting attorney, also recited evidence presented at the trial and said statements made by the two youths showed them to be guilty. Defense attorneys, . headed by Claude R. Henry, Shelbyville, said the indictments under: which the youths were tried were improperly drawn and constitutional rights of the defendants were violated because of the method of choosing a special ‘trial judge. They also attacked the trial court’s ruling that Neal and Marshall should be tried together. The case was tried by Special Judge Roscoe C. O'Byrne, of .he Franklin - County Circuit Court. Trial records reviewed at yesterday’s hearing showed that chance made Mr. Bright the victim of the slayers. Neal and Marshall had decided to force their way into the first car that stopped at the - Indianapolis street intersection, trial records showed. Three cars passed before the red traffic light forced Mr. Bright to stop. After forcing him to lie on the floor of the car, they drove him into the country, robbed and shot him

and threw. his body into Sugar Creek.

OPPOSES T3DST. PAVING PROJECT

County Commission President Says State Should Bear Entire Expense.

Claiming that 73d St. from Road 29 to Spring Mill Road no longer is a secondary thoroughfare, Dow W. Vorhies, County Commission president, today said he did not favor the State’s plan to have the road if the County would maintain it. Earlier this week the Indiana Highway Commission suggested that the 2.4 miles be paved at State and Federal expense. The cost would be about $58,000 for the road and $10,-

000 for a bridge, it was said.

The Commissioners were told the work would be started as soon as they returned contracts agreeing to maintain the roads after construction. “When 73d St. was designated as a secondary road,” Mr. Vorhies said, “the State was not using it as a route for heavy trucks and traffic. I feel that the: State should pave and maintain the road as a State thoroughfare. “At the present. this is one of the heaviest traveled ‘roads in the County. Since the State is routing trucks over-it I.féel that the County should not have to pay for State traffic. We would rather have that
