The Lee Let case was on the calen-
dar Of the court during two successive
terms when the Attorney General was
prosecuting. The Attorney General
found the Indictment. and each law
officer should prosecute his own indict-
ments. I had at the opening of the
September term a number of old cases.
which were tried and cleared up, al
though a stale case is a difficult one
for prosecuting officer. I did not
intend TO carry over any cases from
the September term and none would
have been carried over, with the ex-
ception possibly of the Lee Let case.
# il were not for our inability to try
cases at the close Of the term, because
Of the illness of Judge Lindsay. Few
cases were, however, carried over, and
among them the Lee Let case. The
above are the facts within my knowl-
edge concerning the Lee Let case.

MYRTLE ELLIorrs FATHER Hi,
Begs for Information of His Fifteen.
Year-Old Daughter.

The story of Myrtle Elliott's dis
appearance from home late Saturday
has been published. So far the efforts
of the police to locate her have been
unsuccessful Myrtle, who is only is
years old, was keeping company with
a young man whom her father
objected to and a short time ago he
notified the boy not to keep company
with his daughter any longer. The
girl evidently became incensed at this
interference, and last Saturday left
home and has not since been heard
of. She was working at the Mills dry
goods store, but for week before
she disappeared had not been at the
store, although her parents supposed
she had been there every day as she
represented Detective Hutton, who
is working on the case, is now in
clined to believe that this young man
knows of the girls whereabouts. 1t
is believed she is not in the city. as
she took suit case with her when
she left home. The following notice
was sent to the State Journal today
by her relatives:
Edward Elliott, who is seriously
i'll at his home, 612 Tyler street,
would oblige any person who would
notify him of his daughter Myrtle's
whereabouts, not that he wants her to
come home. but he wants to know
where she is"

ALL ARE FINED.
Members of Lumber Trust in Toledo
Resentenced by Court.

Toledo, o., April 3.-The twenty
wealthy lumbermen of Toledo found
guilty of cons piracy in restraint of
trade under the Valentine antitrust
law, were resentenced today by Judge
kumler in the comm on pleas court. The
sentences were fines ranging from $500
to $1,000 and in no instance was a Jail
sentence given.
There was a dramatic scene when
the defendants appeared in court.
Their attorney asked for a stay or pro-
ceedings to give him time to file a
petition in error in the supreme court.
When he had finished his argument,
John Puck, one of the defendants
arose and declared the condition Of
his health made it imperative that the
case against him be ended at once and
threw himself upon the mercv of the
court. Puck is one of the most promi-
nant citizens of Toledo and the prose-
cution has brought him near the
grave. Mr.. Puck's attorney expressed
his surprise at the action Of his client
and declared it amounted to the at
torney being dropped from the case.
The judge fined Puck $500.
The other defendants asked for and
were given sentence.
