DEVELOPMENTS IN THE NEWBERRY ELECTION CASE Grand Rapids, Mich, Mareh 3. — A day of argument in the Nekbury elec- tions trial, followed _discharke _this morning of fifteen aNitional defend- ants and dismissal of the fifth count in the indictment, ended with an ap- peal for freedom for James . Helme, who had heen referred to in the trial as the ‘stalking horse’ of the Newber- ry_committee in the 1918 democratic primary, because he was listed as a candidate by republican endeavor in an_effort to split the Ford vote.! He maintained he could not be a candidate with Truman H. Newberry or the latter's campaign committee “becauss I never advocated his elec- tion.” Helme maintained it was no crime to be “worked” into or out of a’‘cam- pain. He cited a Missouri case in which it was alleged one candidate was induced by $1,000 to withdraw by the candidate of another party. “The state supreme court held that this did not violate the corrupt prac- tices act of Missouri, but I do mot maintain that they had much of an act” said Helme. Reduction of the defendants to eigh- ty-five was on the volition of Judge Clarence W. Séssion: the fifteen men he said he acted upon “careful study of the record.” Discharge of Samuel Odell, former State treasurer, removed a _govern- ment link in the charges relating to the Helme candidacy. Odell's grand jury testimony showed him as ac- knowledging that he suggested the Helme candidacy to Paul King, New- berry, campaign manager, and other testimony was that he had a confer- ence with Helme and urged him to run for the democratic nomination against Henry Ford.
