2,300-Page Transcript Received - Brief Now Being Drafted.
His attorneys, Kiplinger and Lloyd O. Hill, withdrew the transcript at once to draft their brief, for which the law allows sixty days, after which the state will have an equal time to prepare its answer brief.
Stephenson, committed to prison for life by the Hamilton Circuit Court, has his appeal before the Indiana Supreme Court.
After months of delay, the appeal of D. C. Stephenson from decision of the Hamilton Circuit Court, which committed him to prison for life, was before Indiana Supreme Court today. The 2,300-page transcript of evidence in the trial on a charge of murdering Madge Oberholtzer was filed Wednesday evening with Joel A. Baker, deputy clerk of the Supreme and Appellate Court, just before the office closed for the day.
John H. Kiplinger of Rushville and Lloyd O. Hill of Indianapolis, attorneys for the former Klan dragon, withdrew the transcript immediately after filing the document, preparatory to drafting their client's brief.
The law allows them sixty days for this task, plus whatever extension the court may choose to allow. The State then will have an equal amount of time to prepare its answer brief, supporting the conviction, and the defense a nominal time to prepare its reply brief. When the final defense brief is filed, it is expected that oral arguments will be asked of the court. Decision on whether the lower court's decision should be affirmed or reversed will follow.
Stephenson's principal hope for ultimate liberty rests on the documents now officially on file. The ex-dragon was arrested in April, 1925, with Earl Klinck and Earl Gentry, charged with murdering Miss Oberholtzer following her death from self-administered poison. They were arraigned in Criminal Court, but the case was venued to the Hamilton Circuit Court.
