Bullack, an attorney, and Curley Gallingten, ar- rested yesterday while in the act of attempting to bribe Sher- iff Joe L. Marquis to release Jimmie Gallington who is being held in'‘the county jail on various charges, are under $2,500 bonds each to guarantee appearance at preliminary hearing before Judge W. E. Tubbs Thursday. Galington’s bond was provided by Lincoln F. Kelley, active in recent po- litical campaigns and Lou Muchow, who recently instituted action against Charles F. Miskell for an alleged as- sault. Bullack’s bond was provided by Carl Shumaker and Max Myland. Mr. Shumaker is cashier of the Wyoming Nationa! bank and Mr. Myland owner of the Casper Jewelry company. It ts understood that members of the Natrona County Bar association are considering action against Mr. Bullack which might result in his dis- barment from legal practice if the charges against him are sustained in court action.

At the time Coutas was advised that the sheriff could not be a party to such a transaction. Later Mr. Bul- lack is said to have appeared before Mr. Marquis and to have renewed the tender. ‘The transaction then culminated in the actual tender of money and the arrest of both Bullack and Gallington yesterday afternoon, The man for whose release (Continued on Page Two) the |Note Being Drafted at Genoa to Demand|VER HALF INCH OF Abrogation of Russo-German Pact, Havas News Agency Reports PARIS, April 18.—(By The Associated Press.)—A Havas dispatch from Genoa this afternoon says the allies are draft- ing a note will be imp: the Germans and Russians, notifying them it ible for the Germans and Russians to continue to participate in the sessions of the Russian affairs commis- sions of the conference if they persist in maintaining the Russo-German treaty.

Under this decision, Germany will be excluded from memibership in the conference subcommission on Rus. sian affairs. A notice embodying such | exclusion was sent this evening to the head of the, German delegation here, Dr Walter Rathenau, the German foreign minister in a statement made to the Associated Press, protested pgainst the exciusion of. Germany as unfair. He declared the treaty was mot a secret one and not a violation of the conditions upon which Ger- many had entered the conference. He had not yet decided upon his attitude he sald. GENOA, April 18—(By The Asso- ciated Press)}—The consternation caused by the German-Russian coup included in the treaty at Rapallo sup- planting the Brest-Litovsk pact show- ed no signs of abating as the eco nomic conference delegates continued their deliberations today.
