Indiana's next corruption trial comes next fortnight, featuring Governor Ed. Jackson and friends, indicted last fortnight on charges of trying to bribe Governor Jackson's predecessor, onetime Governor Warren T. McCray. Mr. McCray lately finished a prison term for a financial felony and will be present to testify (TIME, Sept. 19). Pending appeal of his case, Mayor Duvall, still in office, appointed as City Controller Mrs. John L. Duvall. He reasoned that, if he is deprived of his position, or even if he resigns, his wife will succeed the mayor of Indianapolis...

McCray, a proud man, allow his wife or any member of his family to visit him. When told of his parole, the one-time Governor had wept for a few minutes and then, in dim fashion, had begun to gather his possessions. Now he declared to reporters as he boarded...
...Governor McCray was vague as to his future, the New York Times was not vague. Said the Times: "While in office he was indicted for a get-rich-quick-scheme. ... If he will go before the grand jury and tell the whole truth [about corrupt Indiana politics], regardless of whom it may affect and whatever it may cost ... he will have performed a public service that will do much to wipe out the stain upon his own name." Indeed soon after his release, the Marion Grand Jury† planned to call Mr. McCray to testify on the subject...
