THE HOLT INVESTIGATION.
Prosecutor WiItsfe Says the Grand
Jury Did Its Full Duty.

Prosecuting Attorney Wiltsie feels that
the county grand jury should not be criti-
cised because of the result of the investiga-
ton into the 5000 sewer transaction be-
tween the Fulmer-Seibert Company and
Sterling r. Holt. Mr.. Wiltsie is also little
surprised at the comments over the fact
that Mr.. Holt was permitted to testify be-
fore the grand jury.
why shouldn't Mr.. Holt be called in by
the grand jury?" remarked the prosecutor
There was as much reason for calling in
Mr. Holt as there was for calling Mr..
George Seibert. The grand jury was after
every bit of evidence 1t could get. 1t was
thought if Mr.. Holt could throw any light
on this matter he should be permitted to do
so. That was the purpose of the investiga-
this transaction. The fact is, the jury had
nothing to base an investigation on, other
than the newspaper charges and those maue
by stump speakers during the campaign.
me testimony of all these people was taken
and they knew nothing except what they
lad been told. The jury Investigated every
man that could be found who was thought
to have any knowledge of this business. The
whole examination was CONDUCTED as sc, care e.
fully and thoroughly as it could possibly be
done. The report of the jury could not have
been clearer. The jury. in making its re-
port, would have no right TO go into uetall
about the facts brought out Neither the
prosecuting attorney nor any melnber OF the
Jury has any right to come out of the jury
room and publish the evidence OF any Wit
ness. | can say, however that all the EVIL
dence that came before the grand jury was
practically gone over before by the news
papers, AID ives all published at the time
the transaction was brought to light. The
Jury did its duty, and could do no more.

GOVERNOR LOSING HOPE
FEARS THE VERSAILLES LYNCHERs
MAY GO UNFINISHED.
A Conference with the Attorney Gem
eraI Last Night-Plans Will Not
Be Made Public.

Governor Mount and Attorney General
Ketcham were closeted together for an hour
last night in the Governors private office
in the Statehouse. They discussed the Rip
ley county lynching and the proceedings to
date looking to bringing the lynchers to
justice.
The attorney general, after the conference,
declined to talk about it or to admit the
subject under consideration. Governor
Mount however, said that the lynchers and
how to bring them to justice was the theme
which had occupied himself and the at
torney general, but he was -eticent.
II begin to fear that nothing will result
from all the work that has been DONE" he
said, land / would regret TO see the various
steps that we have taken made public if my
fear is realized. I think, under the circum-
stances, it is better that we go ahead, do
all we can to prosecute the perpetrators
of the great crime and keep our own coun-
sci. There was. however, practically moth
ing accomplished by the conference between
myself and the attorney general 1t was

called on me and incidentlly we did talk
about the lynching. 1 do not know yet how

there were limitations that their attorneys

the Park Boards self-instituted suit

few days ago the firm took out build
ing permit to erect an addition on the strip
of land that is in controversy. Afterwards
the Park Board learned that the building
permit gave permission to erect building

these facts came to his knowledge and yes

DAN SMITHS HOUSE RAIDED
Police Cart on a Safe from the Gam
bling Rooms.

A posse of police. headed by Captain
Dawson. last night made a raid on the
gambling rooms ever Dan Smiths North
Illinois-street saloon, and arrested six per-
sons besides Smith. Smith was asleep In
the rear of the saloon when the police
called. and by the time he was aroused the
people upstairs in the gambling room were
warned of the presence of the officers.
When the police reached the rooms they
found the men sitting about the room read
ing and loaing. There were faro. poker
and craps tables. but no games in progress.
One deck of cards was found in a drawer,
ard a half dozen poker chips.
There was a safe in the room, however,
and the police demanded that il be opened,
as they suspected that the cards and
chips had been put in it. Smith claimed
ne could not open 1t, and so 1t was hauled
to the police station, and is now resting in
the office of Superintendent Quigley.
Charles Frade and Dan Smith were
charged with keeping a gambling house.
George Bohn, Henry kugelman and three
others, who gave fictitious names, were
charged with visiting. They all gave bond
and were released.
No attempt was made to raid the Cleve-
land Club gambling house, where one of the
largest games in the city has been in
progress. Nor did the police visit Heller S
or any of the other syndicate" gambling
houses. Smith has not been in the Heller
Rahke combine that has been undisturbed
in the last few months.

HE WILL HUNT UP KERN.
Then Superintendent QufgIey Will
Settle the sIOt-Machine Problem.

Police Superintendent Quigley said last
night that he would take up the question of
the slot machines to-day. He has asked the
city attorney for an opinion regarding this
alleged violation of the law, but has not yet
received 1t. He will hunt the city attorney
up to-day and come to an understanding.
The slot machines are appearing on all
sides. At first the operators lodged the law
by giving a stick Of chewing gum for every
cent dropped In the machines. The chewing
gum for this purpose was cut in such thin
layers that five of them were required to
make a cents worth, but it was stick of
chewing gum and was considered big
enough to evade the law. Recently the
operators have become emboldened by their
success, and the chewing gum feature has
been eliminated and the machines are run
ming as they did several years ago. before
the fight was made against them.
