BURTON PLEADS TECHNICALLY
Demurrer of Senator to Indictment
Charging Violation of Federal
Law Argued at ST. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, Oct 16-The hearing Of argu-
ments by Judge Vandeventer in the United
states circuit court on the demurrer of
United States Senator Burton, of Kansaa.
TO the indictment charging him with having
used mis- influence in behalf of the Rialto
Grain and Securities company of St Louis
before the postoffice department began to-
day. Senator Burton was re-indicted last
spring after his case had been sent back
by the supreme court and the Indictment
charges him with knowingly receiving COM
pensation, while a United States senator
for services rendered in ease then pending
in which the United States government was
interested. Attorney Haynes of Chicago
counsel for Burton, declared today that the
indictment fails to charge that Burton
knew of the case then pending against the
Rialto company. He contended that the
word knowingly" in the indictment only
extends to the question of his accepted
compensation. and that It cannot be ex-
tended to be an allegation that Burton
knew OF the case pending.
Senator Burton was present IN court and
sat quietly beside his attorneys.
Attorney Haynes argued farther that
while the indictment alleges that Senator
Burton agreed to receive compensation for
his services it does not set out with whom
he agreed. The indictment, he argued, does
not specify as to the services rendered or
when services were to be rendered
1t is alleged by the indictment, Haynes
stated, that the question being investigated
by the postoffice department was whether
the Rialto company had violated section
$3.50 of the criminal statutes The only
power that makes such an investigation
