SOME WITNESSES MISSING Exodus From Columbus Follows Brib- ery Revelations. Columbus, 0., May 8.—Prosecuting Attorney Turner says he is in receipt | of information that some of the im- | portant witnesses who were to have been subpoenaed in the legislative bribe scandal are missing and have | probably fled outside state lines. i A well known official who has been connected with the statehouse mx-! many years is quoted as having sald | that this legislature is the most cor- | rupt in his experience and he w:!!| probably be summoned bhetore the ! grand jury. Reports that the legislature on its| reconvening will make an appropria tion of from $7,000 to $10,000 to con. tinue the bribery investigation could | not be substantiated, but the few members who are-in the city emphati cally expressed themselves as favor years. In this way the crafty king | not only increased his revenuc, but | actually lightened his expenses. It i3 not generally known that the‘\ title of “baronetess” has twice been bestowed on women.

The other was a Nottingham lady named | Dame Maria Bolles, who won her way Into-the good graces of Charles [. and received the title trom bis hands.— | London Tit-Bits. | When He Was Bad.
