CROW AND HARVEY
LOSE THEIR TEMPERS.
Two or three times to-day General Crow
and Judge Harvey lost their iempers and
attempted to make fight 'i,ainst the In
si':; aticns that ZieSler's attorneys we're
hurting at them and at the good faith or
the Missouri officials generally.
Their protests were met each time by
the contented smiles of ZiegleTs lawyers.
Governor Odell said that he was simply
doing his duty. but General Crow declared
that the Governors duty had been fixed
by map and diagram by the defendants
! counsel.
Before the hearing had progressed far
Mr.. Ziegler's counsel demanded that Dis
trict Attorney Brown OF Cole County be
produced for the purpose Of testifying. At
torney General Crow said he vas not
present.
"What.' Numbered Lawyer Bowers,
| do you mean to say that this man who
charged MIR. Ziegler with being fugitive
from Justice Is not here TO repeat his
| assertions before the Governor"
He Is not here" said Attorney General
| Grow.
| ACCUSES brown
OF BEING FUGITIVE.
"Then 1 charge him with being a fugi-
| tive from Justice" said Mr.. Bowers. He
was requested to appear here. and l
| charge lack of good faith on the part of
you. sir. that he is not here"
| General Crow leaped toward Mr. bowers
his eyes flashing and his fists clinched.
| Then he retraced his steps. and IN
calmer mood turned to the Governor.
Your Excellancy.'' he said, II want to
be decent about this thing. but must
| insist that that Notwithstanding his fingers
at Mr.. Bowers-"be decent. also. We did
not come here to be insulted. and Will
not stand it,
| Mr. Ziegler's official answer to tho ap-
| plication for extraditicn was little more
than a wall that his enemies were after
! him. In reference to Evelyn Baldwin. he
said:

Concerning f. Z. Udeil. he says:
Il am informed and believe that +. Il

ments against me. charging me with hay

calculated to interfere with his business

He then charges that Mr.. Udell was
opposed to him because he had succeeded
! in purchasing most of the stock Of the
Provident Chemical Company.
One by one the answer deals with the
witnesses who testified before the Cole
| County Grand Jury. Concerning former
Lieutenant Governor John A. Lee. Mr..
Ziegler says:

EVER MET j. A. LEE.
II never met Mr.. Lee In my life and
Eever had any acquaintance with him.

| Farris's connection with the boodiing case.
| Mr.. Ziegler positively said that he was
not in the state of Missouri between De-
cember. 1900, and April. 1901. The state
ment in the affidavit OF District Attorney
Brown that he fled from the Justice of
the State of Missouri was vehemently de-
MED.
Several times at the hearing efforts
were made to prohibit Judge Harvey from
appearing, in the case because he repre-
scented private interests. Judge Harvey
| frankly admitted that he was acting IN
| the interests of the thirty-one small bak-
| ing powder concerns, which had been
thrown out of business by the anti-alu.n
legislation, and said he expected to be
well paid for his services.

| bany tonight for the West he was not
In particularly amiable frame Of mind.
CROW SAYS THAT
CASE Is NOT ENDED.
THE very fa?t.'' he said, that Ziegler
| has come here surrounded by such force
of influential lawyers shows that h. real
ICES that he had c very stubborn question
| to meet. For the present we seem to have
como up against wall, but the end of
| this matter is not yet
The people of Missouri realize that
their interests have been attacked In
some instances valuable interests have
been destroyed. and what has taken place
to-day will not deter lis from continuing
| this fight until VIC have reached every
guilty person who comes under the laws
| Of the State"
| When asked If another indictment would
be obtained against Mr.. Ziegler, he said
he did not know. He added. however
| that there were many strong points in
the Ziegler case which had not yet been
presented to Grand Jury and that it
might be accepted az a certainty that The
| case would not be dropped.
