Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Weekly Star, September 20, 1919, p. 1. GRAND JURY WILL INDICT SON FOR FATHER'S MURDER Only One Day to Be Taken to Probe Death of Boy's Father at Sanders. BOWEN CASE UNDECIDED Alva Banks will be indicted by the Monroe county grand jury when it meets Monday, for the murder of his father, Andy Banks, at Sanders on the night of May 26. Young Banks is in jail here, sullenly awaiting the verdict of the grand jury which will unravel the terrible crime at Sanders. After a mysterious disappearance of several weeks, the body of Andy Banks was found in a quarry pool, tied in a blanket sack. The grand jury will meet only one day, and no other cases will be considered this term, President East announces through The Star. This means that the case of Fred Bowen, Monon detective who shot and killed a car robber, will not be investigated, unless the Banks case is finished quickly. In a statement to a Star reporter this week, Bowen, who was here, said that he hoped the grand jury would consider his case in order that he might be completely vindicated of shooting while enforcing his duties. It is a notable fact that the series of box car robberies ended with the tragedy at the Monon yards. Constance T.
