EX-BANK RECEIVER INDICTED AT CARLYLE

Grand Jury Accuses Illinoisan of Attack on Young Woman at Breese.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE GLOBE-DEMOCRAT. CARLYLE, ILL., November 19.—The Clinton County grand jury returned fifteen indictments today before Judge William B. Wright.

Among the true bills is one against Fred Manny, who formerly held the position as receiver for the First National Bank at Breese, charging him with assault. The prosecuting witness is Miss Viola B. Petermeier, 20, of Breese, who was employed in a tavern located near the bank, and she charged it was in this place that the alleged assault occurred.

A complaint was filed in the court of Police Magistrate Otto Beier, in Breese. The defendant waived a preliminary hearing, gave bond signed by his father, of Mt. Sterling, Ill., and was held to await the action of the grand jury.

Manny is about 38, has a family and resides in Mt. Sterling. He could not be reached for a statement.

Another indictment charges Mrs. Hester Backs Brown, 20, of Carlyle, with bigamy.

Krenski is charged in one of the indictments with the holdup of Hathaway and Miss Davison, who were robbed of $11.45 and a watch.

Monday night, Krenski, who is held at Police Headquarters, attempted to commit suicide by slashing his wrist with the broken handle of a tin cup. He was prevented from inflicting serious injury to himself by the presence of a prison guard, who passed the cell and saw the boy's wrist bleeding. After being treated at City Hospital he was returned to his cell.

FRED MANNY CASE TO MAY COURT TERM

Fred Manny, formerly Receiver of the First National Bank of this city, charged in an indictment containing three counts as the result of the testimony before the recent grand jury deliberations given by Miss Viola B. Petermeyer of this city, has retained the services of Maurice B. Johnston, well known Carlyle attorney, to look after his interests.

The defendant has filed bond for $1,000.00 signed by his father, Walter I. Manny, of Mt. Sterling, and W. B. Davis. By agreement the hearing of the case was continued to the May term of court.

One count in the indictment charges Manny with assault with intent to rape, and the other two with assault. The alleged assault occurred on July 16th in this city.

Miss Petermeyer at the time was employed in the O. Baier Cafe as a waitress.

ers in the county. Unless there is a stretch out of regulations to include a certain per cent of registered unemployed, or relief workers are brot in from other counties, the pending projects, like in Breese township and other communities, will continue to lag because of lack of man-power.

The issuance of bonds for the purpose of qualifying for a WPA allocation for highway improvements in Irishtown was authorized at a special election held in that township last Thursday by an overwhelming majority, but the materialization of the project will be held up temporarily at least until the validity of the election can be established through competent legal authorities. The necessary petitions for the special election were filed, notices posted and other requirements of the law apparently complied with, but the official ballots were typewritten slips of paper containing these words:

"Shall bonds for the purchase of trucks and their upkeep during the project and for hire of tractor, as needed, all to be used for road purposes on Project No. G 72,533 WPA for Irishtown Township, be issued for $4,000?" Two spaces were provided where the voter could indicate a preference by checking "Yes" or "No."

The results were as follows: Precinct No. 1, which embraces Keyesport, 135 for and 20 against; No. 2, lower Irishtown, 55 for and 17 against or a grand total of 227 for and 37 against.

It is proposed to improve approximately fourteen miles of roads with gravel from the pits west of Keyesport which are conveniently located.

There appears to be considerable doubt among both friends and the small minority opposed to the project as to the form of the official ballot because it was typewritten and no attempt was made to designate the two separate polling places on the outside of the same.

Generally speaking the Australian Ballot law provides for the designation of the polling place on the outside of the ballot, and Section 26, providing that none but ballots provided in accordance with the provisions of this act shall be counted, are mandatory, and hence none of the ballots cast at a special town election authorizing a road tax and bonds, on which there was no attempt to designate the two separate polling places were valid, and neither the tax nor the bonds can be sustained as legally authorized. The above citation is from Section 117, laws on Roads and Bridges, Smith-Hurd 1933 Revised Statutes.

Section 120 says: "Such special election shall be held at the place of the last annual town or district election and shall be conducted and returns made thereof be made in the same manner as the regular annual town or road district elections."

But there seems to be some doubt after all as to the obligations of the election officials to proceed under the above requirements insofar as the same pertains to the form of ballot. The Australian Ballot Law does not apply to all elections, locally speaking and for this reason it is held that the typewritten ballot may be held to be valid after all regardless of the usual certification by the town clerk failing to appear on the outside of the same.

However the sentiment seems to prevail in certain influential quarters that the "longest away around" after all may be the "shortest away across," which means the filing of new petitions, new notices, new ballots and another election. It is pointed out that this procedure would remove all doubt as to the legality of the bonds the validity of which might be attacked by an objecting taxpayer, or for example a railroad corporation.

In regards to the Breese Township project nothing more has been learned.
