Grand Jury on Trail Of Two Strong Boxes In Indiana Corruption
A grand jury traced two strong boxes, said to hold evidence of deals made by Stephenson with high state officials when he was reported to be a power in state politics, to his former business partner, L. G. Julian of Evansville, Ind., who denied any knowledge of their contents. Julian was twice taken into criminal court to compel him to answer; he acknowledged receiving the boxes from Stephenson in September of last year, but the answer he gave about the location of the boxes remains a secret, and he was ordered to reappear for further examination.
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 8 - (AP) - After a month of circling, the grand jury today caught the scent of the political corruption in Indiana which it has been tailing. Two strong boxes in which D. C. Stephenson is supposed to have deposited evidence of illegal deals made by him with high state officials when he was reported to be a power in state politics, were traced to his former business partner, L. G. Julian of Evansville, Ind. Julian denied, however, any knowledge as to the contents of the boxes.
Julian was a reluctant witness. Twice Prosecutor William H. Remy took him into the criminal court to compel him to answer questions. On the first occasion he was ordered to answer a question as to whether, in September of last year, he had received the strong boxes from Stephenson.
He answered in the affirmative and then balked at the question: "Where are the boxes?" Again he was taken into court and Charles S. Wiltsie, judge pro-tem, ruled that he should answer under penalty of contempt of court if he refused. The witness was then taken back into the grand jury room and the answer that he gave remains a secret. He was ordered to reappear for further examination tomorow.
