BUTLER MUST STAND TRIAL
Court oScrruIes Motion Filed by the
Attorneys aor 81. Louis MIL
IIonafFs Politician.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Oct 15.--The demurrer
filed by attorneys for the defense to the
indictment charging Colonel Ed Butler, the
millionaire politician of 81. Louis, with
attempted bribery. la connection with the
passage Of a garbage bill, was overruled
today by Judge Hpckaday. The case will
accordingly proceed to trial.
In his decision. Judge Hockaday took up
tho six specific points mentioned in. the
dft1urTer Rnd ,~pyerruled each In turn. He
held that the Indictment was SUFFICIENT
In every essential detail. The principal
contention set UT by the defense that there
was no charter power in the yaunieipal
assembly to enact an ordinance authoris-
ing the Board Of Health to make the con-
tract contemplated by the ordinance, was
held to be untenable by the Judge.
Defense sought TO prove that since the
assembly could not by ordinance delegate
such power to the Board Of Health there
was no onicial duty for Drs. Chapman and
Morrill, to perform which the defendant
might attempt to brtbe them not to dis
charge. 'tr atst A. s.. - f'
When Circuit Attorney Folk was shown
a telegram this afternoon stating that John
r. Mccarthy, the missing witness for the
defense, was In Kansas City he wired As
sistant Chief Of Detectives James Smith Of
st. Louis, who IN attending the Knight OF
Father Matthew. convention there, to locate
and hold Mccarthy. So, -.
In his application for a continuance, fled
with Judge Hockadsy, after the reading Of
the demurrer decision, Edward Butler al.
firms that the absence Of John w. Nc
Carthy, a .witness for the defense, makes it
impossible for him safely to 20 to trial at
this term Of court Butler says in his am
dayit that he expects to prove by Mccarthy
that he visited DR.. C~hapman's house but
twice after October 3. 1901, and that cir
cumstances to which Mccarthy could testify
will prove that the alleged attempt to
bride could. not have been made on either
occasion, 80.
The continuance was granted.
