Study Testimony In Coliseum Blast INDIANAPOLIS UPI—Marion County Prosecutor Noble Pearcy and members of his staff will meet today to study and correlate the testimony of 31 witnesses before a grand jury investigating a Halloween explosion which killed 72 persons at the Indiana State Fairgrounds Coliseum. The jury heard its final witnesses, including Governor Welsh at a session Wednesday and will meet again when a report is ready on tests conducted at Purdue University on liquid petroleum gas tanks taken from the Coliseum. The report is expected to be ready early next week and Deputy Prosecutor Leroy New said he was hopeful it would be possible to present the report to the grand jury Tuesday.
Police Hunting For Bank Robber State law enforcement officers and FBI agents today were hunting for a Putnam County man who was released by mistake from the Marion County jail in Indianapolis early Thursday
morning.
Robert E. Scott, Jr. 35, Roachdale, is the object of their search. Scott was awaiting a Federal Court jury trial on charges of robbing the Ladoga State Bank last August 6 of $15,130. His alleged accomplice in the holdup, Robert C. Dooley, is also a prisoner in the Marion County jail. Scott walked out of the jail to freedom by answering to the name of another prisoner who was called up for release. It was not until nearly 10 hours later Thursday that jail personnel discovered the mistake. Scott's bond on the bank robbery charge, which he had not posted, was $25,000. Both Scott and Dooley had been held in the Federal Penitentiary at Terre Haute, for security reasons, but were transferred back to the Indianapolis jail two weeks ago so they could confer with their attorneys.
WASHINGTON UPI— President Johnson receives a full dress review of the United States' position around the world today, just a week to the day since his predecessor, John F. Kennedy, was slain. In addition to the series of briefings from top level military, security and diplomatic advisers, the new Chief Executive was to confer with Roy Wilkins, executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People NAACP. The meeting was scheduled for 11:30 a. m. EST. Presumably Johnson and Wilkins will discuss the late President's civil rights legislation now in Congress. Johnson told a joint session of Congress Wednesday that he wants speedy action on the measures, submitted last June by Kennedy. After sitting for his first formal photograph as President, Johnson confers with the Joint Chiefs of Staff in a “get acquainted" meeting, his first with the nation's military leaders since assuming office.

Deer Season
In Full Swing Indiana’s annual deer hunting season was in full swung today with more than 1,000 deer and one hunter killed on the first day and a record harvest of the big game virtually assured. A carcass by carcass count of the bag at Crane Naval Ammunition Depot, Camp Atterbury and the Jefferson Proving Ground and nearby areas showed nearly 700 deer killed on Thanksgiving Day. At least half that number in addition were estimated as the probable kill in other hunting
areas of the state.
Hospital Was Alerted For JFK DALLAS UPI—It is now possible to reconstruct in detail the events that took place in Parkland Memorial Hospital one week ago today shortly after President Kennedy was mortally wounded by an assassin's bullets. The first call came to Parkland from the Dallas Police Department. “The President has been shot. He is on his way to Parkland.” Surgical teams sprang into ac-
tion.
Dr. Charles James Carrico, a resident in surgery, was in the emergency room when a Secret Service man burst through the swinging doors. A second one, with a sub machine gun cradled in his arms, was right on his
heels.
The first agent asked for tw r o portable hospital carts. He called them “stretchers." One for Gov. John Connally, the other for the President. In moments the portable carts were wheeled into emergency operating room No. 1 Connally was first. Then the President, with Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy walking beside the cart holding his head her pink suit bloody. Connally was wheeled into room No. 2, an identical 15 by 10 foot room directly across the hall. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson walked in, hand on chest. Sen. Ralph Yarborough, who had been riding in the motorcade with him was in tears. At first, some feared Johnson might have suffered a heart at-
tack.

Judge Grants An Injunction INDIANAPOLIS UPI— Judge pro tern French Elrod of Marion Circuit Court today issued a temporary injunction preventing the Indiana World War Memorials Commission from meeting or taking any further steps to revise
its rules.
The injunction was a victory for foes of the Indiana Civil Liberties Union who sought to prevent the organization from using the World War Memorial auditorium.
