INDIANA FIGHTS FOR | BANDIT'S CUSTODY

Murder Charge Re Returned by | Special Jury.

MICHIGAN CITY, June (U. P) —Indiana authorities raced today to beat Wisconsin in obtain- | ing the custody of Orelle Easton, 25-vear-old North Dakota gunman who is now held in the Kankakee, Ill, Colinty Jail in connection with the fatal shooting Sunday night of Ray Dixon, Indiana State police-

(man.

A special Grand Jury was reported as having returned a murder indictment against Easton today and |

| State Trooper James Stack sped to |

Kankakee thought to be carrying a | copy of Easton's indictment. It was said both Governor Town- |

| send and Gcevernor Horner of Illi-

agreed in a telephone conver- |

ation yesterday to rush his extra- | dition

It was understood Easton has waived extradition to Wisconsin where he is wanted on a kidnap and robbery charge, but is fighting extradition to Indiana where he faces a murder charge and, thus, possible death. It was reported here officials hur-

| ried to Indianapolis with extradi-

tion papers to be signed by Governor Townsend that they would rush to hand the papers to Governor Horner.

BOY, 15, SAVES MAN, BUT TWO DROWN

CLINTON, June 28 (U. P.).— Search continued today for bodies of two men who drowned in

| the Wabash River here last night as | their rowboat capsized. A companion, managing to stay afloat, was

the Government to] | rescued by a 15-year-old boy.

The dead are Frank Stetler, 40, of Lyford, and John Taylor, 35. of

Clinton.

James James, 40, a third man in the boat, was dragged to safety by Phil Jones Jr, 15-year-old high school athlete. The youth and sev-

| eral other persons heard the drown-

ing man’s cries as he swept downstream. They hurried to the river, and the youth dove in, swimming threefourths of the way across to make the rescue.

wspaper Guild, the petitioning union. said today: “The hearing was conducted by all parties in a spirit of exceptional | so -operation. We feel it will make | for a fairer and quicker adjudica- | tion.” Fred Bates Johnson, attorney for lan intervening group of 60 Times employees which disputed the | Guild's claim to a majority, said: | “It was a fair, just hearing with- | out rancor and was conducted properly.” Colonel Sawyer, attorney for the Labor Board, eleventh region, said: “Because of the willingness of The Indianapolis Times, and of the petitioning union and the intervenor group readily to stipulate numerous | facts which would have required | much time to establish by witnesses, ( the hearing was expedited.” The hearing was to determine the proper bargaining unit and majority representation. The Guild's con- | tention that the proper bargaining | unit included all of the commercial departments and two workers in mechanical departments was not contested. There was a slight variation between the Guild's claim that 102 employees were eligible for certification or election, and the claim by the intervenor group that 105 employees should be eligible. | The Times joined with the two employee groups in stipulating the [names and duties of employees, but the company did not contest the proper bargaining unit or the |claims of either employee group to | majority representation pending Board adjudication.

pleaded guilty to a Federal liquor law violation. Yesterday, Judge Baltzell told Geisking: “Although you might not know it, you're my neighbor and I know too much about you. Your parties have kept me awake several nights.” Geisking, one of several who

faced Judge Baltzeil yesterday, said

| he had lived 60 days in the 2700 | block of N.

Pennsylvania St. Judge Baltzell lives just across the street. Geiseking protested as the Judge said: “I've seen a good many cars and heard a lot of noise around your place. It would be fairer for another judge to fix punishment.” Geisking, who is a brother of Charles Geisking, Brady gangster, was released in $5000 bond pending sentencing, and told to return in a few days prepared “to stay a little while. Back to Prison Again Fred Steffler, 41, who has spent most of his life since he was 19 in prisons, was sentenced to 15 years in Federal Prison for the attempted robbery of the Lapel, Ind, State Bank April 25. Steffler's companion in the attempted hold-up was Joseph Earlywine, former Indiana convict. Earlywine was shot to death on his farm near Penfield, Ill, May 2, in a gun battle in which he killed a Federal agent. Steffler stammered for mercy as Judge Baltzell pronounced sentence. “There’ll Be No Parole” “You're too dangerous,” the Judge said. “And there will be no parole.” Steffler has 11 years to serve as a parole violator after the 15-year sentence is completed. Vinnie Douglass, 43, who said he surrendered to Federal authorities to cure himself of morphine addiction, was sentenced to 18 months in Leavenworth Penitentiary, from which prison he will be transferred to a Federal institution for cure. Three others who pleaded guilty to Federal narcotic law violations were given a year and a day. John Merkman of Cincinnati, received a two-year sentence for transporting untaxed alcohol. David F. Jenkins pleaded guilty to impersonating a Federal officer and was referred to Adolph Kruse, Federal probation officer.
