Judge Stout Allows Taylor Immunity if He Returns
Louisville based report states Judge Robert L. Stout of Versailles declares he alone can grant immunity to W. S. Taylor if he returns to Kentucky to testify in the Powers case. He notes neither Governor Beckham nor Commonwealth's Attorney Franklin can grant immunity from arrest. only a full pardon from the governor could remove that risk. Stout says a bench warrant from Franklin circuit court stands, and if Taylor agrees to go to Kentucky, the judge will ensure he is not arrested and is safely returned to Indiana.

New York Sept 5 The Standard Oil company of New Jersey and affiliated concerns won another postponement in the federal case. Former Judge Franklin Ferriss of St Louis ordered a September 17 hearing date with no further delay expected in this jurisdiction.
