PINBALL DRIVE APPEARS LIKELY|

Police nam Hinted After 2 Convictions, First Since i' 24 Restraining Order.

: < (Continued from Page One) nd the defendant was tried on the . possession charge. After argument between Deputy ‘Prosecutor Samuel Blum, representing the State, and William Miller] defense cousel, Judge Rinier con.victed the defendant of possession and fined ‘her $25 and costs, which | “was suspended. | .. He also ordered the device conifiscated and destroyed. Both the ‘conviction and confiscation ®ulings set a sweeping precedent.

Police Inspector Jesse McMurtrie attended the trial. , Police Chief Michael F. Morrissey said the decision opened the way for an attack on the Circuit Court order, made several months ago, restraining police from making arrests in pin-ball cases unless gambding with the machines was perJformed within their view. : : In the second case Joseph Robin#on, proprietor of an establishment ‘at 710 E. 19th St., was convicted on charge of gaming after a, patron testified that the defendaiit had paid him off in money when he “won” on a pin-ball maching, A charge of possessing a slot ma- «. chine was dismissed by Judge Rinier on a defense motion because of a Jack of search warrant. . The pin-ball device was not confiscated but the defendant was fined 25 and costs on the gaming charge. + Police Chief Morrissey planned to confer with -the Safety Board and legal steps to lift the present Circuit Court injunction may be initiated. “These are the first convictions in a long time,” Chief Morrissey said, “and I may have some recommendations for the Safety Board.”

Plea for Directed “Acquitfal Renewed in WPA Fraud Trial

(Continued from Page One)

rested and before any defense testimony: had been presented,

Judge Baltzell, who ‘has had the |; motions under advisement since|3 they were first made, sent the jury

from the room and-said in part: “you can’t say that because the

roads (Ritter Ave. and Minnesota |§ St.) were tethnicaliy outside the |§ scope, of the (WPA) projects that |§ (the defendants) were not |}

they honest in their belief. “The evidence is rather volumftz

nous, but I feel that I should submit | 3 the case to the jury and take these |} motions under advisement. I think |§ it the wise thing to do to submit it |g to the jury.and if the jury returns a verdict of guilty the Court will|§

take action on these motions.”

Attorneys for both sides estimated | § they lwould require a total of about |?

four hours ‘for. closing ar guments,

and it was indicated the jury will ;

get the case late today.

With the jury back in the room,|}

Paul Pfister; Assistant District Attorney, began the arguments by

saying: ‘We're Going to Finish’

\ “We're going to prosecute every case pending in our office and don’t let anyone think otherwise. We're going to finish what Val Nolan (former U. S. District Attorney who recently died) started so help us God.” The Government has charged and the :defendants have denied, that they diverted WPA funds and labor to projects at Ritter Ave. and Minnesota St. to their own profit and not in the public interest. The projects lie in the Silver Hills development, south of Irvington, and some of the land there is owned by the Eickhoff Realty Co. of which Mr. Eickhoff is president. As testimony in the case closed, B. Howard Caughran, District Attorney, cross-examined Mr. Kortepeter, former Marlon County WPA co-ordinator. .

Signed in Blank

Mr. Kortepeter said that occasionally applications for WPA projects were signed by him in blank, at the specific order of a bulletin sent out by John K. Jennings, Indiana WPA administrator. He had testified, also, that so many WPA bulletin regulations were issued that frequently he could not! read and ‘digest all of them. Q—Did you see that one that specified that streets and roads can not: be built in undeveloped areas? A—Never saw it. Q—Did you ever hear of a lake being discussed as a part of the Silver Hills project? A—No. Q—You were familiar with the

i re

fact that all WPA projects were to

be buil; in the public interest? A--The primary purpose of the WPA was to provide work for needy people. Mr. For ‘tepeter yesterday testified that he never had been offered any advantige, inducement or financial gain to direct the projects and that he never had known Mr. Eickhoft until they set in the courtroonw at the ‘beginning of the trial. ‘To “his date,” he testified, “I know of no reason for this work to

authorized. to go out and inspect the sites and report! to me, took their recommendadiions on the job, learned that easements had been secured for the rights of way and that the wdrk had begun and then had no further connection with it.” » His principal concern | as cordinator, he said, was to, find enough work to keep men on the WPA occupif icd and receiving pay.

That’ is where the sewing machine and the bicycle came in.- A big oil drum was filled with powder, the bicycle ‘chain, the sewing machine wheel. and any other odd bits .the boys could pry off. An ordinary fuse, used for dynamiting, was added and the barrel was rolled into the plane. Around about dawn the bunch of conspirators climbed in, each smoking a cigar so ‘as to hgve means of lighting tHe fuse. Up over the dessert they goared and swooped down, probably at all of 60 miles an hour, on the Italian fort. “We're over. Roll out the barrel,” one of them shouted. Opening the door of the plane, they rolled the barrel out. It fell with a thud, right in the center of the fort. . About 30 Italians ran out to see what had arrived. The barrel rolled gently up against the wall and went off with a terrific bang, bits of sewing machine and bicycle It . made

The outpost’s doctor, who was in on the secret, put in a report saying the officer had been confined to the hospital for a cut he had gotten when swimming, “And the story might never have eaked out if ‘the Italians had not issued a communique the next day saying that their fort had been subjected to a fierce bombing attack, causing some 20 casualties. History does not relate how the British high ‘command dealt with this impromptu addition to the Royal Air Force’s bomber force.
