GUILTY WILL ESCAPE.
Men Who Furnished the Money Can
not Be Prosecuted.

ST. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 2S.-Charles +.
Kelly, former speaker of the city cOun-
ell, known as the house of delegates,
was the most badly wanted of all the
members of the cOterie known as the
combine, indicted on charges of
bribery in connection with the passage
of the municipal lighting bill. Kelly
was wanted because he, it was charged,
handled the $47, 500 bride money which,
according to evidence, had been distrib-
uted among the nineteen members of
the committee. Where did this money
come from? That was the question the
grand jury wanted answered and, be-
lieving that Kelly could furnish the
answer, he was indicted on Sept. 8. He
was at the Fourth courts when the in
dictment was made against him. A
deputy sheriff told him he was wanted
Kelly asked permission to run over to
the council chamber to attend to an
important matter, saying: IF you
need me before 1 get back telephone
me at the house of delegates"
That was the last seen of him by any
officer of the law. until his arrest in
Philadelphia today.
The statute of limitations covering
the city lighting deal becomes effective
today and unless indictments are re-
turned before midnight against those
who are supposed to have figured in
the alleged bribery it viii be too late.
A reward of $500 from the state
stands for Kelly's arrest.

court to permit the vocal contestants
to speak out in open meeting when
he would be pleased to continue the
case. 90
The trouble started by Attorney
Hurd accusing Attorney McGurrin- of
employing tactics to delay the progress

some curt reply. and Attorney Hurd
