help her along, yknow"
The secretary took the address, although
she was certain she had never seen the
man before, and promised to investigate.
She found a poor home and a woman,
who for shiftless appearance was almost a
match for her benefactor who had recon-
mended her case to the charities.
While the secretary sat there a mans

The voice had a familiar sound to the

appeared cautiously above the stove tor
she recognized the benevolent man whose

Judge william A. Redick in the law divi-
sion Of the district court Friday afternoon.
Judge Redick's decision was In the form
Of a ruling sustaining a motion Of the
defense 70 direct on the ground OF insult
ficiency Of evidence. He held that the
facts introduced in evidence furnish a pre-
sumption OF guilt, but do not establish Il

In the course OF his opinion the Judge
said: II confess to considerable judicial
eagerness to convict. not because of any
personal feeling against the defendant, al
though have known him a number Of years
i do not say at this time what my per
ponaI conviction Is"
Prosecution Of Arthur w Gross. was
struck hard blow by the defense Friday
morning when william f. Gurley and J..
w. woodrough. attorneys for Gross, OBJ
jected to the Introduction by the state Of
testimony Of Charles A Goss and Judge
Rsdick sustained the objection. Upon
Goss' testimony more than upon anything
else Deputy County Attorney Magney, who
Is prosecuting the cCse. has relied for a
conviction.
Mr.. Magney rested the states case i'm
ulediately after Judge Redick ruled on the
Ebjection. Mr. Gurley OF counsel for the
defense made q motion that on the ground
Of insuffioiency Of evidence the court find
the defendant Gross not guilty.
The final ruling Of Judge Redlck means
the probable dismissal by the state Of the
bribery charge against Gross in county
court II a conviction for contempt can
not be secured IL appears almost certain
that q bribery prosecution would not be
successful.
