ISSUES LATE
INVITATION

Saturday evening, after The Press
appeared on the streets containing
the information that Mayor Pratt S
police investigating committee had
not called a single witness that had
made an affidavit against the police
in the Elliott case, or summoned
Mrs. Fuller or Mrs. Swanson. two
women that had sworn to damaging
evidence against the police, a re-
porter for this paper called on Carl
Gundlach of the investigating com
mittee and asked him what sort of
farce was this that the committee
was trying to perpetrate on the
people.
Gundlach said that he had under
stood that the people who had
sworn against the police had been
summoned. and was assured that
they had not been. as this informa-
ton had come from the lips of the
various parties that day.
The Press reporter agreed to go
with Mr. GundlaCh to the house
where J. II. Elliott and wife were
stopping and have them give their
story to him first hand. but he was
too busy TO go at that time. He said
that he would go later, but business
becoming too pressing. Mr.. Gund
ZACH instead of going to see the old
people, sent them note requesting
that they appear before the commit
tee. This note was received at 5
o'clock Saturday evening, a few
hours before the committee finally
adjourned. 1t was the only invita-
ton received by the ElliOtts and it
came after the committee had prac-
tically made up its mind to not go
into the case. for fear of sustaining
the charges made against the
police.
This invitation came so late that
I could not act on it," said J. II.
Elliott today. Il am willing to give
any member of the committee the
facts or go on the stand under oath
before any honest and impartial in
vestigating body, but to lay my case
before this biased committee, at the
eleventh hour, is asking too much.
when ! lay my case before an in
vestigatine committee | want to be
sure that am going to get square
deal. ] don't want to talk to a ste
nographer merely to have the
friends of the police try to trip me
up for their benefit. When I go
into trial Of this case | want coun-
sci to see that my interests are pro-
tected, and that the people get the
real facts in the case"

steeled herself for the shock and
betrayed no emotion.
When asked if he had anything
to say Lewis said that he had no

thought by those familiar with the
circumstances that Lewis will be
paroled when he has served the
