'RAND JURY'S F|NAL REPORT
Ic Somewhat Sensational and Creates Considerable Talk.

With reference to the indictment against him he said that he could say nothing more than that he knew ab- solutely nothing about the matter for which he was indicted: that if he had ever seen Bully Robinson, the negro from whom lie is charged with ex torting the money, he had not the falntest recollection of it: that he did not even remember to have ever heard of Bully Robinson before the finding of the indictment. Mr. CalG- we'll says there is absolutely nothing in the indictment even though it were true that he had received money from persons for making motion to remit q fine against defendant who had been fined on condition that the de- fendant pay the costs. as that is no crime or violation of the law. having been so decided by the supreme court. Mr. Caldwell says that it has been done by all prosecuting attorneys and deputy prosecuting attorneys here for the past twenty years or more. and in all the courts from the justices courts to the circuit court He says he has no fears whatever as to the re- suit of the indictment against him.

How Winston Churchill Prepares His
Great Novels.

Success has come early to Mr.,
Churchill Al thirty he is the
author Of three successful books-"The
Celebrity" Richard Carvep and The
Crisis" The first sixteen years OF his
life he spent in ST. Louis; then, after
a course at Smith academy he went 10
the Naval academy at Annapolis, from
which he graduated among the irst six
OF his class. He Joined the stan OF
the Cosmopolitan, and while living at
Iryington he married a wealthy woman.
from his native city, and left the rou-'
tine Of editorial work for the more de-
lightful labor OF original writing.
Mr., Churchills thoroughness and ac-
curacy, coupled with unusual concen-
tratlon, are shown by his method OF
work. After his marriage he returned
TO st. Louis and hired an office In one
OF the skyscrapers and worked regular
hours on Richard Carvel" He went
TO Virginia and Maryland and studied
the country and old records, he de-
youred biographies, memories letters
and old newspapers, and he made thou
sands of notes. which he classified as
methodically as a naturalist would ar
range a collection OF butterflies Notes
on costume were kept in one book,
manners and customs In another. un-
usual words or turns Of expression In
another; character In another history
in another, and bits Of description in
another. The gospel Of hard work Is
Mr., Churchll's inspiration.
When he was rewriting one of his
novels for the fifth time. he worked
daily from breakfast time to o'clock
and for some hours after luncheon. A
long horseback ride made little diver
sion, and after dinner he wrote till the
light OF his lamp grew dim.
In preparing for his latest novel,
"The Crisis" story Of the civil war,
