SPINDLE CASE IS
 RAPIDLY DEVELOPING
Grand Jury of Pulaski County Began Today With Henry StOckWeII,
 Jockey for Mabray

Little Rock, March 2.-Deval- Opments came thick and fast in the swindle ease yesterday and the grand jury of Pulaski coun- ty will today begin working on tbe case with Henry Stockwell the jockey for Mabray, as the star witness. He cannot hOld back now as he has unboSomed himself and sheriff B. l.. Roberts has his sworn confession in detail safely locked in the vaults of the company, Mabray and his as- aociates are up in the air, flor they now do not know where they are going to land, espec- tally as the court officials have stated it will be a week or more before they get away to Iowa with the men. This has taken the spirit from the men who when the Federal authorit- ies decided to move them Sat urday, counted on getting away at once. There is still a hope in their breasts that they will get away at once, and that the Un- ited States Marshal is simply making this announcement to throw the public off the trail and allow them to be well on the 1 way to Council Bluffs before any Of the officials know of the de- parture.
 Chancellor Martineau late yes terday afternoon sustained the demurrer of Assistant District Attorney Powell Clayton to the temporary restraining order granted attorneys for Mabray ct al to prevent Photographer ket- tering from developing the pho tographs taken Of the men in
 jail He withheld the order un- til noon today, however, to pre-
 vent the developing Of the pho- tCgraphs before noon tomorrow
 in order to give the attorneys
 for the men to apply for injunc-
 tion in the supreme court and protect them while the papers were being prepared. Chancellor Martineau held that once the photographs were taken he could not restrain the photographer from developing them ev- en though they should be
 taken by force or the papers
 from publishing them. He said it
 was in his mind a thing the
 papers have a right to do. As sistant District Attorney Clay
 ton insisted that the Injunction be dissolved yesterday afternoon
 saying the attorneys Tor Ma
 bray were merely playing for
 time and it would be six months
 belore the matter could be de-
 cided at which time the photo
 graphs would be of no use ito
 anyone, There was a report yes
 terday that Attorney Clayton had confessed the right of the prisoners to the injunction and It
 had become permanent, but this statement Assistant Attorney Clayton denies and such action
 was not taken by Chancellor
 Martineau.
 De E. Bradshaw one Of the at
 tOrneys for the defense stated yesterday afternoon that he
 would get the case i'll the su- preme court today, and Assistant District Attorney Clayton stat
 ed he would be present to argue the temporary injunction to have it passed upon after some light
 had been thrown on the subject instead of without resistance. Jockey Stockwen, who made the confession yesterday, has been locked in the county Jal ever since and no one is permit ted to see him unless in the pre- sence of some representative ol
 the Sheriff's office.
