ut-Gov. John A. Lee of Missouri
Prefers to Tell the Alum :
Story Himself.
ne CONCLUDES TO RETURN TO ST. LOUIS.


st. Louis,April 22.-Lieut.-Gov.J John
A. Lee, says the Post-Dispatch, does
not want Daniel J. Kelley to appear
as a witness before the St. Louis and
Cole county grand jury. Rather than
to have that happen he will return
himself.
The threat of Circuit Attorney
Folk to go to New York and make
terms with Kelley to get him as wit
ness brought Lee to terms.
Lee is expected to be in St. Louis
Thursday OF. Friday, and it is expect
ed that he will tell all he knows of
the alum deal when he comes. So
great is said to be Lees fear of Kel-
ley as witness that he is now willing
to come without any assurance of inn
munity from prosecution.
Mr.. Folks announcement that he
was determined to have either Lee OF
Kelley as witness created consterna-
tion among the friends of Lee, and
they sought immediate consultations.
Lee and Kelley are the two men
who can tell the whole story, and
with Kelley promised protection, Lee
position would doubtless be bad
one. He would rather tell the story
himself.
Robert E. Lee, brother of John A.
Lee, who has been making announce
ments for the fugitive, was not at the
conference.
It is expected that when Lee ap-
pears in St. Louis the whole story of
the alum legislation will be secured,
although it may take repeated ap-
pearances before the grand jury to
get it. With the information already
in the hands of Circuit Attorney
Folk and Att'y.-Gen. Crow, they will
know when the story has been prop
erly told.
