July 11 (UP)— The Indianapolis Times' disclosures purporting to connect Gov. Ed. Jackson with the Ku Klux Klan “in- vigible government” in Indiana came jus® as the ton month old investiga- tion for which Times was largely responsible reached its most crucial period. An impasse had heen caused by the failure of D. C. Stephenson to provide Prosecutor William H. Remy of Marion county with documentary evidence of his charges. Remy had been promised such proof during & four hour conference that he and his held with Stephenson at the an state prison last Tuesday. s to be delivered by a “friend” ¢ Stephenson—revealed by the Times, a Seripps-Howard newspaper, as Lloyd O.

Stephenson, but the fallure of two grand juries to return indictments had disheartened him. ‘What was regarded as an offer to cooperate with officials was contain- ed in a statement by Boyd Gurley, editor of the Times. “The great court of public opin- ion,” Gurley said, “will now pass on the questions raised by D. C. Steph- enson last September when he said he could prove by documentary evi- dence that political corruption exist- ed in the state. “The announcements documents will be published can be confidently relied upon. What they prove or disprove will be left to the citizenry."” An extra edition of the Times con- taining its disclosures streets in time to cateh workbound Tndianapolis. Speculation turned today to possible effect of the statute of lim- itations which outlaws ordinary pro- secutions not commenced within two vears of the occurrence of the al- leged criminal act. Attorneys said the statute makes exceptions in cases wherein it can' be proved there was a conspiracy to suppress evidence nccessary to convict. 1In stich cases, the statute is inopera- tive. | | | | i | | Times today was that the check it reproduced was the same that Flovd Christian, Noblesville attorney, ex- amined months ago. Christian was quoted by the Times | as saying it was the check. He saw it, he said, while Stephenson wa awaiting his sentence to life imp! onment. Other checks of similar na ture were described by the attorne: Stephenson told him, Christian i<:xid that the checks represented | some “huge amount, $100,000 T be- lieve, and he said most of it went in to politics.” Remy has at his command a wea- pon that was not available during th~ first two grand jury investiga- tions. While a grand jury is not in regular session, under a recently en- acted law, the prosecutor may file criminal information on his own re- sponsibility and trial may be had on | such affidavits.
