Charges of Jackson Corruption Renewed By Indiana Editor INDIANAPOLIS, § Sept. 7.—Gover- nor Ed Jackson today was challenged by Boyd Curley, Indianapolis Times editor, to repeat under oath befere the Marion County Grand Jury his denial of Curley’s charges of political corruption. Curley also, in a letter to the gov- ernor, sent today, defied him to waive the statute of limitations which at present is embarrassing the inquiry of the Marion County Grand Jury into the D. C. Stephenson political scandal. Offered McCray Immunity. The letter reiterated the charge that Jackson approached former Gov- ernor Warren T. McCray and offered him immunity from prosecution and $10,000 in exchange for the appoint- ment by McCray of James E, McDon- ald, Indianapolis attorney, a favorite of the Stephenson-Jackson machine, as Marion county prosecutor. Referring to Jackson’s general de- nial of the charge, issued yesterday, Curley said, “If the proper tribunal should decide that the evidence on which | printed that statement is as convincing to them as it was to me, then they can properly apply the ret edy under your own interpretation “It is such a city to which you have come; it is such a -people who wel- come you to habitations of peace, spread the tidings of unionism thru the northern, Fairmont field, that was organized in 1918, and two years quietness and prosperity,” $AY5 jatar it aided in ca ing the message Mayor Cryer, “I welcome you, and) ,) 44; bart ly beats y » - o Mingo county, in the gunman-rid- |trust that your stay may be both =) . at rd } of the legal meaning of these facts.” | ’ Practically defying Jackson to sue him for criminal libel, Curley said, “One of us has been guilty or is guilty.” | Hold Bernstein In.
