them replied the governor.
Mr. Andrew was then told that as
Presid.Et Kelly was out of the city,
he as governor of the dormitory was
surely the official to make state
ment.

In reply to a direct question as to
whether he had sworn out the war
rants against the students, the gov
ernor said that Prosecutor Jesup had
done it. He was told that someone
had to give the prosecutor his infor-
nation. He refused TO talk further
along this line.

morning and were released on their
own recognizance. They have plac-
ed their case in the hands of Robbins, |
Starr and Robbins and say they are
very willing to air the whole affair in |
court The students hint that they |

will not show Governor Andrew in a |
very enviable light.
Say Favorites Were Played.
The students accuse Governor An
drew, his brother, and Isaac Stanley
of giving the information concerning
the affair to Prosecutor Jessup. They |
say that these three sat up the better
part of Monday evening framing up
their story. The students further say
that the governor in having the ar
rests made, played favorites. They
assert that there were more implicat-
ed in the rubbing" than were arrest
ed and that the governor knows just
who they were. The students say
that the governor had those arrested
who had refused to worship at his
shrine in the past
According to the students, there will
be no demonstration similar TO that
which took place during the mutiny
against the college authorities a year
ago. At that time the students re-
fused to eat in the college dining
ROOM The students in this instance
hold no animosity against President
Kelly or any other college authority
outside Governor Andrew.
