SCANDAL IN STATE PRINTING Partner of Former State Printer Makes Confession of Method by Which Goods Were Pald For and Never Deltversd. COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 14—Chairman Beatty of the legislative graft probe com- mittee appointed through the Insistence of Governor Harmon, announced today that J. E. Brelsford of Dayton, once partner of Mark Slater, former supervisor of state printing, had confessed to him of whole- sale grafting in the department of print- ing at the time that Mr. Slater was in charge. According to the confession of Brelsford, from whom Slater bought goods, he and Slater divided $18,700 drawn from the state treasury on vouchers for the payment for stock never delivered to the state printing share and’ Slater made a clean-up of thes remainder. According to the confession, all the stock sold by Brelsford to Slater, and which stands on the books for something over $16,00, was purchased by Brelsford in Cin- cinnati for $1,700, and was sold to Slater for $2,600. This was the only bona fide transaction, and upon it was based the fic- titious transaction by which the two pro- cured, 813,700, winr Brelsford went on the stand .today, 1o the state probe Investigation session and re- lated the details of the transaction.to the committee, ‘He was shown a warrant, No. 1,256, upon which’ he was paid $,501.75 for goods alleged to have been sold to the state bindery on December 7, 1905. The entire list of goods itemized ‘was read to him and he testified frankly that not a single item represented gobds actually deltvered by him to the state; that {t was entirely a plece of graft. Before testifying, the commlittoé ex- plained to him again that the testithony he might give could not be used against him in the criminal proceedirigs, and he stated that when the same statement was made last week he did not understand it. The second bill shown him was of March 27, 1906, on which date he had drawn $28.12 for 100 pleces of cloth. He testified that the bill was padded 100 per cent; that only fifty pleces had beensold, making a graft on the item of $175.50. Similar testi- mony was glven as to other bills.

[STOCK FOOD MEN AVOID LAW wi tor am Goldsberry, Reporter Ottamwn Courier, Falls Helr to Big Sam—Willlam Fos ter's WiIL (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MQINES, Feb. 14.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Discovery was made today that In the office of the clerk of the supreme court (& system of fee collections has been in | vogue which is not authorized by law. A | clerk is employed who makes copies of opinions for outside publishers, and who also makes coples for the use of the attor- neys and the court reporter, and the fees for this work are not turned Into the state treasury. About a dozon years ago, under Clerk Jones, who Is now a subordinate in the same office, this matter came up and the state sued Jones to recover similar fees. A settlement was effected and a law passed forbldding such fees being kept by anyane. Now Deputy Clerk Grubb, who is a candi- date for the nomination against Clerk Bousquet, has lald the matter before the attorney general for such action as he m deem proper. Stock Food Men Wai Pure Food Commissioner Wright, in the work of enforcing the. pure food law, finds that makers of stock foods are resorting to various schemes to prevent payment of the state license fees. One company has changed entifely the name of its stock food product, though analysis shows no change in the product. Another company making a very common stock food claims that its product Is in fact a medical substance and is not under the stock food law. Reporter Gets Legacy.

Sir John Bigham, president of the probate court, condemned the pe- titioner to pay the costs, which must have been very heavy.

PAXTON RESUMES HIS STORY Executor of Estate Continues Testl- mony {n Deposition in Civil Suit ~—Nurses Will Be Called to Depose. KANSAS CITY, Feb. 14—All witnesses who tell thelr storles to the grand jury that today began investigating the Swope mystery, may have to repeat them before Frank P. Walsh, the attorney who is prosecuting Dr. ‘R, Clark Hyde's suit for alleged slander. James Aylward, one of Mr.,:Walsh's assistants, stationed himself near the entrance of the grand jury room today and as,the witnesses appeared to testify he served them with ‘subpoenaes. Stilk another inquiry into the case will be started on Wednesday, when in Kansas City, Kan., the deposition of Dr. C. H. Jordan, who had prescribed medicine for the Swope family, will be taken. The grand jury hag been afforded every tacility to assist its' mémbers In getting information concerning the swope:mystery. Every person who is belleved to have any knowlédge of the case has been subpoenaed as a witness. The court officlalg have an- nounced that special precautions have been taken to keep any news from leaking from the grand jury room. The officials refused today to state in what order the Wwitnesses would testify, and it was impossible to learn what important witness would be called first, Much importance attaches to the testi- mony to be given by the three speclalists, Dr, Ludwig Hektoen and Dr. Walter S. Hains of Chicago, and Dr. Victor Vaughn of Ann Arbor, Mich. The evidences to be given by these physiclans, it Is believed, will be the most valuable the grand jurors will have to consider when they form their conclusions as to what caused the deaths in the Swope family. Swope Nurses to Testify, John G. Paxton resumed his story in the office of Frank P. Walsh this morning. Mr. Paxton's deposition which was full of sensgtions Saturday again supplied the most Interesting phase of the day's pro- ceedings in the unraveling of the Swope mystery as he answered the searching ques- tions of the Hyde attorneys. The testi- mony given as depositions In the clvil suits will be valuable should criminal pro- ceedings arise as the result of the grand jury investigation. The testimony can be used, however, only In trying to impeach witnesses. Both sides in a criminal suit would have access to the depositions whether the clyil sult had been dismissed or remained in court. Mrs, Logan O. Swope and the nurses may next be called upon thelr depositions In the civil suits. Swope to give Medicine Contained Strychnine. 0. H. Gentry, a druggist of independence, Mo., giving his deposition in the office of Frank P. Walsh today, testified that he sent. a bottle of medicine containing strychnine to the Swape home for Colonel Swope's use just one weck before the mil- lionaire died. Mr. Gentry sald he was almost oertain that it was on September 30 that Moss Hunton telephoned for a bottle of the med- “Cousin Tom.” Mr. Hunton him- October 1. Mr. Gentry sald that each teaspoonful of the medicine contalned 1-108th of a grain of strychnine and . that each bottle contained four-fifteenths of a grain. The witness testified that he had not sold more than four bottles of the medicine to the Swopes in the year before Colohcl Swope died. » Frank P. Walsh announced today that a sheriff with a writ of attachment would guard the entrance to the grand jury room while Dr. Hektoen is testifying next Wednesday and that the physiclan would be served with the wrlj from the gran fn Dr. Hyde's damage sult.
