Trial Of indicted senator's

a.
Jefferson City, Mo-, July 27.AThe
term of the circuit court which began
today is likely to prove the most in
teresting Of many years, as the four
state senators indicted on charge of
accepting bribes to accomplish or de.
feat legislation are to be tried. The
indicted senators are William p. Sui
livan of Christian county, Buell. Mat
thews of St. Louis county, F. H. Farris-
of Crawford county and Charles A.
Smith of st. Louis city. The expecta-
ton that former Lieutenant Governor
John A. Leo and several other poll
ticians of the widest prominence will
be brought into the net before the
term of court is ended adds to the
general interest in the proceedings.
This interest is largely being mani
tested by the arrival of numerous Wis
itors and it is expected that within a
few days the number Of visitors in the
city will be as large as that attracted
by session of the state legislature.
