commendations about the jail j udi ,p
J. Paul Frizzle, presiding, halted the
trial and ordered a mistrial a fbr two
witnesses had testified. The jurist ex
pressed the belief that due to the
prominence of the officials and the of
they hold it would be impos
sible to get an impartial trial. The
judge felt it would be impossible to
divorce politics from the trial, he said
Jos. P. Pippin, assisting in the prose
cution with Solicitor Ernest R. Tyler
told the court he was personally not'
in sympathy with the prosecution of
the commissioners, because he un
derstood the circumstances surround
ing the case and felt that the com
missioners had done what they could
to carry out grand jury recommenda
tions. Defeat of the .irond issue elec
tion was also called to the attention
of the court.
The grand jury serving at this term
of Warren Superior Court, mindful
of the result of the bond issue elec
tion, recommended the commission
ers spend $5,000 on jail repairs if the
money could be had, but if it were not
done, that all white prisoners be sent
to some other jail.
