Indianapolis, Ind., July 14 (UP)— “Blackmail” was the reply of Gov. Ed Jackson of Indiana today to the charges of D. C. Stephenson that the governor’s campalign for nomination vas financed by the former Ku Klux Xlan power who now is a life pris- oner in the Michigan City, Ind., state prison. “D. C. Stephenson is in prison for the murder of a young girl, and I never will be blackmailed into grant- ing him a pardon,” The governor declared in a formal statement deny- ing the acousations of Stephenson. | Jackson said the $2,500 check he received from Stephenson was for “a very valuable saddle horse and equipment.” “This transaction,” he continued, “‘occurred the year before I became a candidate for governor and months Lefore 1 knew that I would be a can- didate.” This check, the governor said, was the only one he ever received from Stephenson. More Disclosures Today. The mest imoprtant information yet uncovered in the Indiana poll- tical investigation is to be delivered to Prosccutor William H. Remy of Indianapolis through D. S. Stephen- son. Tinally determined to back up his | charge that he was absolute master | in state and many municipal gov- ernments in Indiana, Stephenson | from his cell in the Michigan City | state prison has written two orders f/ for the delivery of documents to Remy, the United Press learned to- ‘day. Jubilant at the success of his de- mands upon Stephenson, Remy con- ferred with his assistants this morning xegarding the procedure to be follnwed in obtaining posses- sion of the papers. COne of the orders, it was under- stood, is directed to Lloyd O. Hill, Indianapolis attorney for Stephen- con, and commands him to yield to Remy the remainder with one .ex- ion, of the former political pow- private papers. It was Hill who released the first of the documents through the Indianapolis Times Monday. FIRST DEATH FROM HEAT, RECORDED IN THIS CITY William F.
