GIRL ASSAILANTS GIVEN WARNING (Continued From, Page One.) ferred him from the reformatory to the penal farm. MADE UP FOB LOSS BY “ESCAPE.” However, ho sport made pp for the lost time and "escaped 1 ’ with almost the same alacrity showo-by hjs partners in crime. .There Is a report, as yet' unsubstan tiated, that the “escape" of these three men from the penal farm was planned before Judge Collins so ac commodatingly recommended, their transfer from the reformatory, and it has been stated by persons who ought to know that an automobile left In dianapolis with the knowledge of Marion County officials to meet Phil lips and Schribhle and bring them hack to IndianapolisSas soon as the formalities attached to their “escape" could be attended to' at the penal i farm. These n'rnngemenis ar.S" reputed to have been made following the failure of a group of "fixers" iu Indianapolis to obtain suspended sentenees for the "boys" whose offense was only such a trifling thing- as the luring of a young girl to a sec)tided spot where they might successively attack her without inter ruption. The. trial of this particular gang of child abusers took place In Criminal Court shortly after the community had been disgusted b.v the two-time failure of the grand jury in Judge Collins's “nationally noted court"- to indict Roy Ltiigcnfelter. the man who confessed to the police that he had assaulted so many girls he could cot remember them all. I.INGEN FKLTER CASE BROUGHT TO MIND. Public gentlmeut was somewhat aroused oVer the fact that instead of be ing brought to trial after being caught In the act of assaulting a child, Lingen felter was permitted to Join the Nary and the grand jury. without examining witnesses to his attack, decided that "there was not sufficient evidence pre sented" on which to base an indict ment. Under these circumstances the power ful influences that have heretofore ob tained suspended sentences In the t*rlm inal Court for other convicts failed and Judge Collins declared publicly that the nature of the offense oT these wen was such that ttipy must serve a term in the reformatory. Then, before the two men reached the reforma' aw the - "nationally noted" Judge rfWmntetided thst they be not confined in the reformatory, but be allowed to serve their terra at the penal farm "because confine ment might injure their health." These recommendations to Governor Goodrich were not made public at that time and none came forth to voice 'a ref erence to the health of the little girl who had suffered so severely at the hands of these criminals. The crime, the penalty of which three men have so far escaped through the secret manipulations of the publicly ren dered judgment of a judge who still sits 1 in the Criminal Court is disclosed by the I records of the police department ami i the reports -of detectives. FACTS ABOUT \SBAULTS ON LITTLE GlKl.fi. Briefly, it is this; A girl whose age was probably such ns t‘> make ;.n assault on kr a life-term offense, was lured into a taxicab and ! hurried to Big Eagle Creek bottoms, I where her abductors were met by an other taxi load of boon companions. The taxi driver who hauled her there, j realizing her fate and being powerles® 1 to fight the gang, hurried to the tele i phone and notified the police. Two emergency squads were sent to I comb the bottoms ana u part of the gang 1 was rounded, up. From information given by the little | girl when she recovered from the hor rible abuse suffere 1 nt the bands of this merciless gang, otoers were arrested and the whole crowd eventually was tried iu police court, where it was revealed that other giris had suffered at the hands of some of them. Asia usual in sneh cases, the detectives were able to learn of other vh tints but : unable to produce them is witnesses, in some cases because of the natural dread | °f living revealed as the innocent victims of brutes. JIBGE COLLINS KNEW ALL ABO l T IT. The records of the ease. disclose that Judge Collins was fully cognizant ot ail the circumstances ami the memory ot newspaper men goes bat k to uis public effort to make it appar that in- was not the kind of a man who would comion such an offense against society. • Itut tne records f the Governor’s office also disclose that although he re fused clemency of any kind to these men on Oct. 15, lie recommended the transfer of Phillips and Hcbribbliy- to ■ the Penal Farm from which 'he knew they could escape at will BEFORE A WEEK HAD ELAPSED. a . And the accommodating Governor Goodrich issued the transfer order! Now, the honorable Judge James A. Collins Is quoted in the columns of the Indianapolis News, which for some re cently discovered reason suddenly has decided that its renders aiso should know of these things, as saying that Phillips and Schribble and Nichols will he sentenced to the reformatory for an additional two to live years IF THEY ARE CAUGHT. But he does not say whether or not, in event they are caught and so sen tenced, lie will recommend that they again be transferred .to the Penal Farm because continement might injure their health or because it is easier for their parents to visit them there.

EVIDENCE OF Ot TSIDE INFLUENCE. la an effort to unionize the plants, out side influence was enlisted, according to I evidence today produced in Federal Court. and organizers of the unions sought to ; destroy the "open shop" policy followed ‘by the several companies.

The authori ties believed today they might have in their hands a solution of the murder of Joseph it. Ellwell, the "most famous’’ crime in New York since the killing of ■Stanford White by Harry K. Thaw. The possible solution lies in the case of George 1.. King, alleged gunman, who was arrested in connection with the rob bery of Harry Fettel on Nov. 22. King lias expressed a willingness to plead guilty to robbery in the first degree, a! though this might m -an a **-nt“nce of tony years. The officials believe lie wan's to get into tlx* obscurity of prison as quickly as possible in order to hide something. King was a friend of Ellwell, and ♦hey were known as fellow gamblers for high stakes. At the time of Kllwell's d'-ath one theory was that he had been kißcd by is gambling companion in n quarrel over profits.

MARION, Ohio., Dec. 31.—Expected tightening of the money markets of America after ,Jan. 1, wiilh consequent disorganization of business and employ ment conditions, was the subject of dis cussion at Senator Harding’s conferences tday. Will. 11. Hey, cbnvrmatn of the Re publican- National Committee," remained in Marion over night to outline further his reports on business conditions throughout the country. While he declared., today sUat he was firm in the belief that the period -of.- greatest financial danger -was past, Mr. Hays was frankly expectant of money stringency throughout January and Feb run ry. Senator Philander C. Knox, before his departure, made it evidei.t that impor tant as is the accomplishment of anew association of nations, proposals for its formation may well wajt the settlement of pressing domestic problem* affecting the farmers, stock growers and business men of the country; Passage of the res olution declaring a state of peace, with attendant repeal of wartime legislation, would remove pressing need for inaugu ration of such an association, he said. Senator Knox placed greatest stress upon immediate adjustment of German indem nity. The reparations commission of the League of Nations, he said, not only could fix the sum Germany must pay, but could increase that sum. Steps toward gradual world disarma ment will be taken by President-elect Harding early in his administration, ac cording to authoritative information here today. One move may be a suggestion that world powers organize a disarma ment congress to work out a scheme which will lie generally acceptable. Disarmament occupies a prominent place in Harding’s plan for an association of nations. The subject has figured prom inently in several of his most important conferences hpre recently and he is known to be convinced that some method of checking the race for larger navies must be found. Reports reaching here are that Oreßt Britain and Japan, on certain conditions, could be induced to Join in the project. Japan, according to information given to Harding during recent conferences, is spending a heavy porportion of her revenue on military and naval arma ment, and would welcome with relief some equitable* agreement whereby she could reduce this expenditure. ("oiurresslonal leaders most familiar with the situation are understood to have recommended action toward powers to limit construction work already under way and lay no new keels. Harding, however, has declared himself flatly for a navy sufficient to protect the American merchant marine and afford a dependable defense to American shores.
