Sun Defends Duncan in Indisnapolis Case and Balloon Reward
The Sun profiles attorney John S. Duncan as loyal and skilled while defending Stahl alias Smith amid corruption claims in Indianapolis.

The paper argues for gas service protection, notes Mayor Bookwalter’s potential action, and recalls recent political shifts involving Fairbanks, Hanna, and Roosevelt. McGowan buys a $60,000 house and McCulloch spends $25,000 in Indianapolis real estate.
