Millionaire Cale case probes crime of Indianapolis youth
Marion county grand jury closed its semi annual session with an investigation into Harrison Cale who vanished from Indianapolis a month ago amid rumors of financial misconduct at the Indianapolis Biquetting Company. Cale, secretary there, is said to have drawn a large salary and left the city after a shortage of funds was found. A grand jury report may trigger further action and possible criminal prosecution upon his return from Seattle where he is believed to have fled. Judge Walker demanded an accounting of a $4 000 trust fund, and Cale sent papers to the judge as the matter drew public attention.
