the alarm and gathered together a
number of farmers who searched for
the negro. He was located along

LEE wEPT IN JURY ROOM.
The Former ~eutenan Governor
Testified Before Grand Jury.

Jefferson City, No. August 6.-At-
torncys w. H. Phelps, of the Missouri
Pacific and John H. Carroll Of the Bur-
lington were before the Cole county
grand jury today. They spent only a
short time before hat body and the
general impression is that they gave
little information Of value.
1t has been learned that the grand
jury is investigating a report that an
attempt was made to secure money
from Brewers to effect the passage of
the beer compromise bill by which
brewers were released from paying fines
for violation of the beer INSPECTION law,
on the condition that they pay a stipu-
lated sum into the state treasury and
obey the Law in the future. Several st.
Louis brewers were before the grand
jury this afternoon. Speaker White
cotton, who made charges on the floor
of the house that Doodle was used IN
the ext book legislation and Hormer
Lieutenant Governor John A. Lee were
also examined. Mr.. Lee identified the
Lee-Kelly kilograms and told of the
transactions to which they related. He
broke down while in the jury room and
wept, and it was some time before ne
could resume omposure and continue
his testimony.
