he had consulted Morrow concerning the
naturalization Of some Germans in South
st. Louis. and that Morrow had told him
TO take them to the st. Louis Court OF
Appeals for the purpose of having their
eligibility passed upon by the court
He said that he took them upon the
night indicated, but that court was not
IN session: that he then went to Demo-
cratic headquarters in the I-aclede Hotel
and complained to Morrow about the
court not being OPEN
Morrow. he said. expressed regret that
he had been disappointed. stating that he
had been misinformed about the matter
Gillick testified that at this juncture
someone. whom he did not know. ad-
dressed him. asking him il he could get
the names and the nativity of the persons
whom he wished naturalzed
Gilllck told the court that he said that
he could furnish the names and that he
was told TO give the names to Mr.. Nor
row and the matter would be looked after.
KNEW OF NO
INTENDED FRAUD.
Gillicks testimony was that he took
some names upon one occasion to Demo-
cratic headquarters and gave them to
Morrow and later sent additional names
by a messenger. He received the certifi-
Gates of citizenship through the mail for
the Germans for whom they were re-

Judge Krum did likewise for Barrett
In his argument to sustain the demurrer
Attorney Lehman contended that there
was no evidence to connect Morrow with
conspiracy; that he was the mere conduit
and the messenger through which the
names passed from GilIick into the hands
Of the person who. when Gillick was in
Democratic headquarters, volunteered to
procure naturalization papers for the
aliens If Gil!ick would bring the names
there and leave them with Morrow

Times Senator Stone seeks TO recover
The suit was filed in the court of Judge
Douglass here.
Senator Stone now makes application for

he declares under oath that he believes
Judge Douglass and each OF the other four
Judges mentioning each of them by name
is so completely under the influence and
control of County Judge Chrisman that
not one of them would give him an impair
tiai trial.
Therefore Stone asks that the suit he
sent for trial to some other county be-
yond the reach of the influence of Judge
Chrisman The law of Missouri makes it
imperative upon a Circuit Judge to grant
a change of venue when a party to a suit
makes affidavit that the Judge Is preju-
diced against him.

Morrow had acted In good faith with Gill

the ten Germans appear before the st.
Louis Court of Appeals several days be-

Judge Krum followed Lehman in an
argument along the same lines. He con-
tended that the testimony showed no gull

that the Government had in no way con-

a handful to carry inside for inspection

He had hardly gotten inside when the
snow melted and dripped To the moor.
Upon seeing this. loud burst of laughter
went up from his companions. who lokeo
him upon his apparent ignorance OF the
