GRANTED IN TWO CASES
Files Motions to Quash Eight Indict-
ments Against Him - Harmony
Lodge Wants Change.

John Looney through w. K. Moore
OF Moline and Hon. NJ. r. Maluney
and James Conway of Ottawa, today
MED motions to quash eight of the in
dlctments against him, for eXtortiun
bribery, conspiracy to bride, conspir.
acy TO eXtOrt, and conspiracy to indicl.
Judge Emery c. Graves was Uccupie.,
the entire day with the arguments uf
w. II. Moore in behalf of the motions
In two of the most important ale
cations, LoOney simply plead the
statute of limitations. These two were
for the eXtortiOn of $40 from Nell ll.Il
and the eXtortion of $500 from Ernest
Heder, of the notorious Buffalo saloon
The motions in these cases was base
on the plea that the alleged offense5
had not been committed within Is
months OF the time the indictmcn :
were returned. These pleas were the
first made to the court, and were al
lowed by Judge Graves under the law.
Thus Looney is freed of the necessity
OF defending himself on these two
charges, by reason of technicality.
Not Crime:
The motion to quash the indictment
for bribery occupied the greater pat
of the day. Mr.. Moore found it nece7
sary to inquire of the states attoruG"
which statute bis client had been III
diCtCd under. and when informed. pre-
scented his argument. Among other
claims he made. was one that ii is nj,
crime to offer the mayor 10000 t.
llaN.
because it is not the official
duty of the mayor to close
the saloons. He alleged discrepancy
between the ordinance and the indie T.
ment, the one using the word tippliug
house. and the other saloon. and set up
other technical grounds why Loon =
should not be made TO defend himsc' I
on the serious charges against him.
No Decision Reached.
The argument was continued this
afternoon. 1t is probable that the lie
