Stephenson Case Cruelty Charges Headed for Denial
Indianapolis June 27 authorities say a report by the state charities board will find no facts to support cruelty and mistreatment charges against Indiana State Prison officials in the Stephenson case. The report, prepared by governor appointees John A. Brown and William H. Richhorn, will be presented to the governor and prison trustees, with recommendations that Stephenson had failed to adapt to prison discipline and that alleged mistreatment resulted from his own conduct. The trustees will reconvene July 1 to review the matter and related parole considerations.

Vienna rent battle fuels queerest election in history
Vienna voters faced a clash over rents in a tight race between tenants and landlords, pitting Socialist policies against Christian Socialists and German Nationalists. Monsignor Seipel led a coalition to resist rent raises, arguing high rents threaten Vienna and Austria’s economy while the landlords claim confiscation and tax burdens.
