He was under sentence Of three
years in the penitentiary for unlaw'
full banking, but q technicality has
saved him. His case was reversed
and remanded by the supreme court
Tuesday. 1t is improbable that he
will ever be tried again.
The decision has the effect OF
uuashing all Ax Of the indictments
found against Salmon, the plea in
abatement having been directed
against the grand jury's true bills
because Of the presence Of a stenog-
rapher in the grand jury room. If he
is to be tried again, new indictments
must be found. He was tried under
the former indictments in Warsaw,
Benton county, Missouri, the verdict
against him being returned April /,
1907.
Miss Florence Keil was the stenog-
rapher whose presence in the grand
Jury room caused the UNFOLDING OF
the plea in abatement. She appeared
at the request of the grand jury and
on approval Of the trial court. The
supreme court, however, holds that
there is no law permitting the pres
snce Of a stenographer in the grand
Jury room unless the stenographer is
a member Of the inquisltorial body.
