THE EVENING WORLD, THURSD., GOV. SMALL MUST 000 Embezzlement Charge, Quashing Others. WAUKEGAN, IL, Deer 29 (Asso- clited Press).—Judge Claire C. Ed- wards of the Circuit Court of Lake County, to-day upheld an indictment | charging Gov, Len, Small with em- be ement of $500,000 of State funds and nine of the thirteen counts of an indictment charging the Governor. Lieut. Gov, Fred B, Sterling and Ver- non Curtis, A banker of Grant Park, IM., with conspiracy and operating u confidence game jnvolving $2,000,000 in State money, The court ordered the Governor to trial on Jan, 9 on the $500,000 embezzlement charge. Judge Vdwards sustained the at- torneys for the Governor and Mv. Curtis In part by quashing an indiot- ment charging them, together with Mr. Sterling, with embezzlement «f 1,000, and quashed three counts charging conspiracy and the one charging confidence game in the other joint indictment. As a result Mr. Curtis will face trial only on the ning remaining counts of the con- spiracy charge. Judge Edwards's action in quash: ing the joint embezzlement ind! ment against the Governor, Lieuten- ant Governor and Mr, Curtis will automatically kill that charge against Mr. Sterling. The decision was marked by a scathing arraignment of Charles W. Byers, County Clerk of Sangamon County, who admitted on the stand that the records of his office contain- ing the minutes of the County.Board, which selected the Grand Jurors who subsequently indicted the Governor and ‘his fellow defendants, had been alte “He was a willing witness, Judge Edwards said, “willing to do whatever was necessary to be done to sustain these indictments.” ‘The charges against the Governor and Lieutenant Governor and Mr. Curtis centred around alleged illegal practices during the term of Gor Mall as State Treasurer, 1917-191! and the term of Lieut.-Gov, Sterling as State Treasurer, 1919-1921. The alleged illegal operations consisted of the deposit in the ‘Grant Park Bank” |of sums of State money aggregating $10,000,000, which were then loaned to Swift & Co. and Armour & Co. Chicago packers, on notes paying 7 lo 8 per cent. interest. Not more than 2 per cent, of this interest was paid to the State, the Grand Jury claimed, and the defendants are charged with retaining the remainder.

GROWS OVER FRENCH OBSTRUCTIVE TACTS (Continued From First Page.) European economic reconstruction is concerned, hinges upon a friendly attitude on the part of the Harding- Hughes Administration toward Eu- rope, ‘The tendency toward isolation had been slowly overcome by various moves made by the Harding Admin- istration, particularly in being willing to attend meetings of the Supreme Council and in the calling of the Armament Conference itself, But the Impression created by French tactics here is to cool the ardor of the Ad- ministration toward more conferences with European powers, particularly Brance, Another thing: The Supreme Council is meeting at Cannes to discuss the economic reconstruction of Europe and there are plans for the bringing of both Germany and Russia into the conference. The United States Govern- ment has been asked to attend. The drift here has been toward participa- tion, but the extent of America’s in- terest in these coming conferences is a matter for the American Executive to determine. If the French plan to spend their money for the building of submarines, aircraft and cruisers and intend to maintain a large stand- ing army, they can hardly hope for the support of the American re sentative at the Supreme Coun meetings or in the larger conferences in which Russia and Germany are tv participate. In/a@ nutshell, the attitude of the French at the Washington conference must be interpreted in the light of broader events in world diplomacy. ‘The effect of her obstructive tactics will long be felt in the Washington Administration in the years immedi- abead of us. France has given an Impression of erratic tactics and discord which so nearly squares with the difficulties. President Wilson had at Paris that there is good ground for believing that the Washington Admin- istration may tend to draw further} and furher away from European ques- tions of an economic as well as pollti cal character until the Europeans themselves, particularly France, give ‘evidence of a better spirit toward the maintenance of peace on the Con- tinent.

PTT Brooklyn Justice Releases Three Held to Testify in a Murder Case. Justice Benedict in the Brooklyn, | Supreme Court to-day held that Sec- | tlon No, 618 of the Criminal Code, | under which material witnesses are detained, is unconstitutional. The court sustained a writ of habeas cor- | pus sworn out by Attorney Robert | M. Blder and released David and Mrs. Mary Maloney and Sadie Reyn- olds. These three had County Judge May apiece as material witnesses case of Harry Reynolds, who charged with the murder of Garry Barry, alleged leader of the old White | Hand Gang. | These persons, according to Jus- | tice Benedict, were held on the peti- tion of a clerk in the District Attor- | ney’s office, who merely alleged that thhe witnesses were present at the commission of the crime. As they could not furnish $10,000 bail each, they were held tn jail, Justice Bene- dict said, because the petitioner be- lieved that they were nevossary as | material witnesses. Justice Bene- dict said: “The present statute permits sure- | ties to be required merely on proof that the person is a necessary and material witness, without even a hint or suspicion that he may leave the Stato or otherwise evade the process ,of the court. This, as I understand the relator’s argument, is the grounds on which it is claimed the statute is unconstitutional—because, without any wrong on their part, either committed, or reasonably to be apprehended, they are required to furnish security, and, being unable to do so, are committed to jail. “No authority has been presented, which holds that such a statute is constitutional, and [ shall- therefore hold that it is unwarrantable inter- ference with the liberty of the indi- vidual and hence unconstitutional.” | oe | | CARD been held by in $10,000 bail in the is PLAYER SHOT; | STORE OWNER SEIZED | | Prisoner Says Bandits Broke Up | “Friendly” Game. | | | Policeman Louis Tagiiani of Hamit-| jton Avenue Station heard several shuts as he passed Vito Teutonico's grocery ‘store on the ground floor of No. 874 Co- | lumbia Street, Brooklyn, earty to-day, | Five men came out and ran, and the! | policeman went after them, but caught | ‘only one, who proved to be the owner of the store.
