" OFFALSSOD LU, S BOUTLERSERS CLAM ‘Witnesses in Rum Conspiracy Case Say Seized Whisky Was, Marketed. By the Assoeinted Press, INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. March 16.— Additional government witnesses are soheduled to take the stand when hearings are resumed in the Lake county liquor conspiracy. trial In fed- eral court here today. Fifteen gov- ernment witnesses testified yeste fday, most of them “bootleggers,” who LS ted on the stand that they were rrested, their wares confiscated and tow bonds fixed by the arresting offi- cer. No records of the seized liquor was made, the witnesses declare, and It was resold and the proceeds divid- ed among the officials. It was not necessary for the liquor-cade defend- ants to appear in court, they testifled msserting that a fine would be assese- ed, which was paid out of tHe bond money received by the arresting offi- cer and the remainder appropriated by the ofoiala. Dan Melloy, a former constable of ¢, testified to having sold 150 of liquor which he had seized ds to Miss Agnes Szabo of South . at prices ranging frqlll $130 to $150 a case. The proceeds, he feclared, we; divided between City Court Judge William Dunn, Prosecut- ing Attorney Civde Hunter, Constable Nevhoft and himself. He ‘also testi- fied to other large sales of seized liquor, the proceeds of which he de- elared, were divided among Gary offi- cials, who are defendants in the pres- ent trial, and gave details of the al- feged irregular methods practiced in Gary courts in handling liquor cases TRAIN IS WRECKED, BRIDGE DYNAMITED, WIRES CUT IN RUHR 4 from First Page) upon the return of the Ruhr to Ger- man control Political writers familiar with the attitude of Wilhelmstrasse say that they have heard nothing of the re- ported man overture to London. Any intimations of peace suggestions that appear in the Berlin press come from outside sources. In assuming this attitude the Ger- man government is convinced that it has the undivided backing of the German people, who it belleves would not tolerate for & moment any ad- ent failing to designate uncon- al evacuation as a starting for negotiations. The suggestion that the occupying forces ho withdrawn by successive stages or that the occupation be re- stricted to zones is dismissed in o clal well as reichstag quarters bei wholly outside the realm of se- rious consideration. Would Be Terror Reminder. “The presence of even restricted forces of occupation.” said one of the leaders of the soclalist party, “would be o constant reminder of the ten weeks of terror to which the Ruhr workers have been subjected, and ! aiso constitute a permanent basis of friction” He believed that it the Ruhr mines, lters and coke ovens were to leld the maximum required to carry o o rcparation demands it was imperative that no affront be af- forded the German workers. “This wouid be the case,” he contin- “if they were given a dail r in the form of foreign nd other militaristic oppression. act could be servod, wrought will fester of the Westphalian populace for a long ume to come.” Cuno Recognizes Sentiment. Chancellor Cuno is thoroughly con- versant with this sentiment and is reported®to have assured the parlia- mentary leaders that no agreement could be entered into which failed to provide for the immediate and unre- stricted restoration of the Ruhr to German control.
