Show-Up Witnesses Identify Purdue Pennant Hitch-Hiker
Ten blonde college boys entered a Vermilion County courtroom for a show-up in Danville on June 4. Three witnesses picked William H. Blackburn of Oak Park as the gunman who shot and robbed Russell Gardner of Indianapolis after taking a lift in Gardner's car. Gardner, partly paralyzed from head wounds yet able to walk, identified Blackburn along with Harry Ludwig and Harry Bauer, linemen for an Indianapolis utility, who also recognized Blackburn. They heard the shots, shone a spotlight as the youth fled in Gardner's car, and Blackburn was linked to the crime. Gardner, a purchasing agent for the Indiana highway commission, was driving from Lafayette to Indianapolis when he picked up the youth carrying a suitcase with a Purdue pennant. Near Indianapolis the youth drew a pistol, forced Gardner from the car, and shot him.
