Houser Case in Court.
Secretary of State Houser will de-
mand an immediate trial on the charge
of offering State Insurance Commits
sioner Zeno M. Host a bride of a
$4,000 campaign contribution in ex-
change for a decision on the surplus
distribution case dictated by the Equi-
table Life Insurance company. Prior
to Mr.. Houser's arrest he took coun-
sci with his attorneys Rishmand,
Jackman & Swanson, and they advised
him to file demurrer on the ground
that the facts as alleged by Commits
sioner Host did not set forth an Of
Tense within the meaning of the Wis
consin statutes. Mr.. Houser appeared
in the municipal court at Madison and
his preliminary hearing was set for
June Is. Mr.. Houser was released
upon the signing of his own recogniz-
ance and bond of $1,000. Ex-senator
George P. Miller, of Madison, was
present to sign his bond had it been
so required by the municipal judge. It
is learned that Mr.. Houser insisted
upon going into court. and demanding
an immediate trial on the merits of
the charge He refuses to withdraw
as candidate for the Republican nom
ination for a third term as secretary
of state, and it appears that he be-
lieves he can profit by an early acquit-
tai on the charge of attempted brib-
cry. His defense, it is said, will con-
sist Of denial that he knew anything
about the nature of the slip of paper
which he handed to Commissioner
Host for Bob" Luscomb, the agent
and lobbyist of the Equitable, and
which paper was the decision proposed
to be purchased by the $4,000 contri-
button to the La Toilette campaign.
He will also deny the allegation of the
insurance commissioner that the sum
of money was mentioned. Here will
be the clash of testimony and the jury
will have to determine the facts. A
search is being made for Bob LUIS
comb and if found he will be urged to
testify.
