Robert E. Lee, brother Of the lieu
tenant governor. says that John A.
Lee is remaining away solely to pro-
tect his friends.
During the day an enissary from
Lieut.. Gov. Lee called upon Attorney
Folk with the proposition that, up
on agreement to question Mr.. Lee
only about the alum deal, he would
appear before the grand jury imme-
diately. Circuit Attorney Folk in
formed his visitor that he would not
promise to restrict himself to any
part Of the inquiry and the confer
ence was fruitless.
Robert E. Lee, brother Of the alb
sent official, received another letter
from Gov. Lee yesterday which was
mailed in Chicago. In further ex-
PLANTATION Of his brothers absence
Mr.. Lee said: "He will remain away
until think 1t advisable for him to
come back. One reason that he is
away is that he does not want to as
sist the St. Louis grand jury in in
dieting for perjury certain members
OF the legislature VINO nave testinea

tive and though these men have
proved themselves his bitter enemies
he does not want to assist IN indct-
ing them" Mr.. Lee concluded py IN
sisting that his brother does not fear
Indictment himself.
Attorney General Crow and Attor-
ney Folk had another conference
yesterday, remaining together until
seven o'clock in the evening. It is
understood that yesterdays develop
ments were carefully gone over and
a plan Of procedure determined upon
which will probably result in eight
additional indictments being returned

that l could either do so or not trouble

"This is a sample Of the ways and

far from bringing down the game as

discovered that unless succeeded

as modest language as l could COM

me to call that evening.

l had a grudge against the woman

"This was trif1e more than Mrs.

let me get off the stoop. 1t took some
time to convince her that l was mas.
ter of the situation and not till she had
tried every subterfuge that could be
invented by willy woman. At last
she discovered with regard to herself
what l had long before discovered in
my own case-that l was necessary to
her happiness. Since then she has
been a model wife,"
