SENATOR BURTON IS
CHARGED WITH FRAUD

ted States court acquitted him. -Four in
dictments found in state courts against
Dennis are still pending.
The penalty provided upon conviction
of the offense of which Senator Burton is
charged is a penitentiary sentence of not
more than two years and fine of not
more than $4,000. and one SO convicted
shall be rendered incapable Of holding Of
fee of trust honor or emolument under
the government.
United States senators are immune from
arrest except for certain specified crimes
while the senate is in session. 1t is ex-
pected that the present session will last
until the summer, but United States Dis
trict Attorney Dyer expects that Senator
Burton will at once make arrangements
for speedy trial.
Washington January 23-When shown
the above dispatch Senator Burton said
he could not imagine why the indictment
had been found. He was employed as
attorney for Dennis to protect him against
an Indictment which had been brought
against him.
The only connection with the postoffi~-
was when Dennis came here to consult
him (Burton) as to the proceedings and
the Senator accompanied Dennis to the
postoffice department and asked if any
charges had been filed against Dennis.
He further asked Postoffice Inspector
Cochran to inform him if charges were
filed against Dennis in the future. Sen
ntor Burton specifically stated that he
did not appear against the government in
any manner.
Senator Burton says he viii go at once
to St Louis and defend the case and
has no doubt that he will be able to
make 1t perfectly clear that there was no
reason for bringing the indictment

The total weight of the cotton was 6l,S1i
pounds. and today Mr.. Jones mailed to

bales of cotton yet on hand, but will hold
