FORMER KLANSMAN "15'T0 BE CALLED Staphenson Wil Testify Against Governor Jackson Indlanapolis, Feb. 9.—P—D. CAi Stephemson, former gvand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, may be the state’s first witness against Governor Ed Jackson, whose trial on a charge of attempting to bribe former Gov. Warren T. McCray was resumed in criminal court today. A subpoena for Stephenson has | been prepared and will be served after & jury has been obtained for Jackson's trial. Stephenson, now werving a life sentence in the Indiana | state prison, was implicated, the state alleged, in a conspiracy to | bribe McCray in 1923 to appoint a man favored by Jackson and| ftephenson as prosecuting attorney of Marion cousty. A grand jury| named as other parties to the con-| spiracy, George V. Coffin, Marion | county republican chairman, and Robert I, Marsh, a local attorney. | Efforts toward obtaining a jury the world conflict, will lead a “par- | were progressing with seven men in |ley on war” at Wesleyan university | ihe box accepted definitely by the state. The trial opened yestrday. The defense indlcated in its in rogation of panel members today that it would center its efforts on an aftempt to prove that Jackson did not place Governor McCray in a state of fear to prevent him from exposing the alleged attempted bribe, as.charged in the indictment. | “Concealment is a vital and ma- | terial matter and without proving ncealment the state has no case,” Attorney Silas C. Kivett declared | during examination of prospective jurors. He explained in detail the | statute of limitations, tclling each juror that the time limit was two years in a case such as confronted them. He said the alleged crime was | committed nearly four years hefore an indictment was returned and that | the true bill was issued only through the charge of concealment. The indictments charged that Jackson, Coffin and Marsh threate 4 McCray i he should expose their alleged offer of a bribe.

Okeson, of Lehigh, as dictator in football offi~ cials appointments has yet to be de- termined. Dr. Edgar Fauver, ath- letic director said that the appoint- ment of OKeson had not yet been given definite consideration. He was inclined to belicve New England col- leges would get together and select regionally their own game officials. The Little Three probably would select officials for their own games. Dr. Fauver said that the experi- ence with the central board had heen long and while at times hard words against it might have been |=aid it was realized that the task of | selection of officials was a hard one. Before Wesleyan does anything it was probable, in Dr. Fauver's opins ion, that representatives of New ngland colleges would et together, The trouble has been he sald that after small colleges developed some good officials, the big colleges stepped in and took them.

Summoned to Herron's cell by the shouts of another prisoner, Laird said he discovered Herron had slashed his wrists with a razor blade. Physiclans were called and the wounds were bandaged. He will re- cover. Laird and Herron had a terrific battle last night after the accused man tried to kill himself. Herron was finatly subdued but not until his left shoulder was dislocated. Meanwhile, hundreds of searchers were dragging the river for the body of the girl. Herron admitted choking the girl to death when she resisted his ad- vances, County Prosecutor James Patrick said. Herron said he choked the girl, then drove to a bridge span- ning the river Dover, and dropped the girl's body into the water. Herron appeared at the John He- nig farm near here at ¢ a. m., yes- terday and told how two armed men had attacked him and kidnaped the girl. Conflicting details developed in his story and after questioning he finally confeased, Patrick said. Miss May and a girl friend, Evelyn Fretz, visited the former's sister (also Herron's wife) Tuesday night. The attack on Miss May occurred after Herron had driven Miss Fretz to her home and was en route home with Miss May. Herron said he drover to a gravel pit on the Dover-Canton highway and parked. He then attempted to attack the girl, and a violent quar- rel ensued, according to Patrick. Apparently enraged, Herron choked the girl, then drove to the Dover bridge where he dropped the body into the river. “I choked her,” Patrick ssid Heey ron declared. I guess I cholied her too long.” . The sherif's office was called after -I'I‘Try". '.a“'h o ragged ux_o( hor and her glasses, lenses broken, were found in the bettem of the machine. Herron's story of the supposed kidnaping followed. lice went to the gravel pit. girl's slippers were found, but dark- ness forced them to delay further search until today. It Herron threw Miss May's body into .the river, it - probably was washed rapidly down strepm, officers fear. . Herron attempted suicide shortly after he was lodged in jall, accord- ing to Sheriff Abe Laird. He ssid he had a terrific battle with the man before he subdued him. Herron's shoulder was dislocated during the fight, Laird declared. Prosecutor’s Statement New Philadelphia, Ohig, Feb. 3 P | —James E.

The doctor gave his hearty approval. “Go ahead and use Nujol”, he said. “It’s just the thing for the baby. Harmless, Safe. Contains no drugs or medicine. It's the most natural way in the world to keep everything normal. For Nujol not only prevents any ex- cess of the body poisons (we all have them) from forming, but also aids in their removal, Let megive you another suggestion, too, Use Nujol on the outside of the baby. In place of powder. Just swab his skin, after the bath, with a bit of cotton moistened with Nujol. That's the new method they're using in the big hospitals, It has a wonderfully soothing, softening ef- fect on the skin. There’s no need for any baby to have rashes and chafing if you use Nujol. Get a big bottle and keep it specially for the baby. Get a separate bottle for yourself,” Why don’t you try Nujol in your household? It was perfected by Nujol Laboratories of the Standard Oil Company (New Jersey.) ! Nujol can’t do anyone—baby or grown-up—the least bit of harm. And so many people have found it beneficial.
