From a staff Correspondent.
Columbus, Oct. 30.-The attorney
| general is in receipt Of n letter from At
torney Jason II. Brookes, prosecutor Of
Columbiana county, In which matters
relating to the case of Prof A. A. GAL
breath, late president of Mt. Hope col
lege, are mentioned. Among other
things the opinion Of the attorney gen.
eral on the case is asked Galbreaths
difficulties have been fully reviewed in
this correspondence, the news of his
indictment by the Columbiana county
| grand jury on a charge OF perjury be-
ing first given publicly in these columns
Galbreath made affidavit to Secretary Of
| State Kinney that the Carnegie college,
which he formed after severing his ton-
nection with the Mt Hope college, pos
sessed $1,000 worth of property, but no
record of such holdings could be found
at the county clerks office. and 1t was
this discovery that led to his indict.
ment.
Galbreath's defense is based on the
|
| ferred to it property of the value
stated, but that through an oversight
the transaction had not been recorded as
required by law.
1t is assumed that pressure Is being
brought to bear TO have the Indictment
against Galbreath nolled, but such n
procedure is not favored by Assistant
Attorney General j. l.. Todd, who has
written Mr. Brookes, advising that the
case be proceeded with Mr.. Todd says
If Galbreath's claim is true he can prove
1t in open court. 1t is stated that Mr..
Todd is unable to figure out motive
for gift of $1,000 to such an institution
as the Carnegie college. Galbreath says
his wife gave the property.
Attorney Todd conducted the case for
the state in the action brought against
J., the Mt. Hope college, which was tried
in the supreme court several weeks ago.
The decision has not yet been render
| ed.
If John r. Mclean is to come here to
confer with State Chairman Long, the
latter, according to his own say so,
knows nothing of 1t. The numerous re-
ports that have been in the air about
what Mclean proposes to do in a poltl-
cal way are given limited credcnce at
headquarters. Mclean has manifested
his interest in the Ohio campaign In a
practical manner. it's said.
