ANDERSON PLEA 1S OVERRULED

Action Against Center Twp. Indictments.

Criminal Cowrt Judge Dewey Myers today overruled a plea in abatement filed by Dan R. Anders son, relief grocer, to four indictments charging him With fling | false relief claims and obtaining | money under false pretense, Anderson was one of four persons indicted by the Grand Jury recent. ly in eonnection with its Center | Township relief probe. Paul Rochford, attorney for Anderson, announced he would file, | within the next day or two, a mo- | to puash the indictments] |against his client. Judge Myers | tentatively set Monday as the date | for hearing the motion. Attacked Indictments

A similar motion in the case of | John Barton Griffin, milk route | and son-in=law ‘of the | former trustee, Thomas M. Quinn, is to be argued Monday. The hearing on the pleas in|

‘abatement was started yesterday. Xr

Anderson contended the indictments against him were invalid because | | the Grand Jury allegedly had been | [drawn improperly and because the ‘court records failed to show resig(nation of two grand jurors and Ap: | [pointment of two substitutes last | September, In overruling the plea, Myers ordered the court | brought up-to-date,

Waits New Decision

Mr. Rochford indicated, after the (ruling, that if the motion to quash {should be denied and Anderson subsequently convicted, he would file an appeal to the Indiana Supreme Court citing the overruling of the plea in abatement as a reversible [error, Besides Anderson and Griffin, {those mdicted were Quinn; Frank | Bluestein, operator of two former “favorite” relief groceries, and John Neenan, former township relief order writer, Quinn was charged With bribery in two indictments and official neglect in a third, He has pleaded [guilty to the official neglect charge [and reserved his plea in the other (two, Neenan has pleaded guilty to [one of several indictments charging false claims and false pretense,
