Whittaker Stirs Indiana Reform Battle Over Bill
Whittaker, secretary of the Republican state committee, told THE SUN that a reformitory bill to oust the Jeffersonville reformatory board was a party measure causing anger among state leaders. He later recanted, but a major clash looms as Speaker Marshall Gov. Durbin and Sen. Goodwins pledge to press the bill. Sherman hints at thunderous testimony and potential disclosures from a letter about a dying son and guards. The reform board members will be in town Sunday night to face the fight.
