With patience that has borne him through five years of suffering— two of them in a wheel chair— Lester Bowles, 25, of Franklin, a cripple, fought in superior court five today for money with which to finish his college education. Unable to walk, except by using improvished stools as crutches, Bowles, a victim of paralysis, seeks $4,020 from the state of Indiana. This amount, he alleges, is due him under a special 1931 legislative act providing S2O weekly for him “out of humanitarian considera tions.” The act was passed in Bowles’ behalf on pleas of friends. Kicked by Horse at Camp Bowles was a senior at Franklin college when permanently disabled. He was kicked by a horse while with the Indiana national guard at Camp Knox, Ky., Aug. 4, 1927. In five years, Bowles has proved that doctors’ statements, “you never will walk again,” were false. At first, he learned to scoot labori ously about his sick room by brac ing himself on two chairs. Then he made the stools by which he hobbles about his home. Case Under Advisement His father, E. M. Bowles, told to day how his son has set up a lab oratory in his home to complete a course in biology. Judge Russell J. Ryan, who took the case under advisement, must decide whether the legislative act entitles Bowles to the S2O stipend for 201 weeks that elapsed between date of the injury and date when the act became effective, June 30, 1931. If he gets this money, Bowles hopes to be graduated from college and pay for further medical aid which he believes may cure him.

HOOSIER MAYOR TO IGNORE PLEA OF CimUNION Richmond Chief Refuses to Halt Police Interference With Jobless. By Times Special RICHMOND, Ind., Dec. 12. Mayor Windsor B.
