JUDGE CEST WILL
PASS ON MOTIONS
Denies Change of Venue to At
torneys Representing In
dicted Insurance Men.
LEGAL BATTLE is BEGUN
Grand Jury Bills Are Attacked from
Various Angles in Effort to
Escape Trials.

The state wen the first round of the
legal battle with the attorneys repre-
senting Thomas H. Wilson, NJ. B. Gar
Der, Charles H. Walters and the other
defendants in the fraternaI insurance
indictments when Judge w. H. Gest
| decided this morning to refuse the
change of venue asked for by the de-
Tense. This decision followed an affi-
davit which charged that Judge Gest
was prejudiced and would not accord
the defendants a fair trial. Inasmuch as
the case was not really on trial, and
merely a motion to Quash the indict-
ments was coming before him, Judge
Gest ruled that change OF venue was
not necessary. The hearing of the ar
guments supporting the motion to
quash were thereup started in the
branch court.
The legal representatives of the de
PENDANTS, among whom were E. S.
Smith. c. F. Mortimer, w. st. J. Wines,
L. F. Hamilton, Andrew Olson and ].
T. and S r. Kenworthy, have started
a lengthy Discourse upon the points
on which they base their motion to
quash.
Object to Reporter.
Among other things they claim that
E. r. MalOney, who reported in short
hand the testimony taken before the
grand jury, was not properly entitled
to be in the jury room and that he was
not sworn to take true evidence. The
state SCOTS at this point made by the
defense. Another flaw in the indict-
ments, according to the defense, is
that the names of Robert Rexdale and
H. A. Weld were not endorsed as wit
nesses upon some of the indictments.
The state claims, however, that while
the two witnesses in question did tes-
tify before the grand jury, it was only
on one case, and there are four indict- |
ments against most of the defendants. |
Attorney w R. Moore and Assistant
States Attorney H NJ. Schriver are |
for the state, but thus far
thew have had no opportunity to be
heard. The prospects are that several /
days will be spent in hearing the ar
guments

few weeks ago in the raid on the Turf
gambling place. Several legs were
broken off the tables taken at that
time. They still remain in the posses

day.
The fact that the tables had been
removed to this side of the river was
discovered through the vigilance of
Constable Schmid, who states that they
were brought to this city at a. m.
yesterday, being handled then, as 1t
happened, by the very driver who was
secured to bring them to the jail yard,

Eighteenth Street.
DELIVERED OVER TO COURT
Hearing lin Progress Before Judge r.
w. Olmsted in Effort 20 Estab-
hsh Identity of Owner of
the Seized Fixtures.

In the county court this afternoon
Judge w. R. Olmsted is hearing evi.
dence on a search warrant that he is
sued yesterday for the recovery by the
legal authorities of three articles of
gambling paraphernalia stored in the
Robb's Express company building on
Third avenue. The driver of the ex-
press wagon who delivered the tools"
at the storenouse and the clerk en-
ployed at the latter place who gave
the receipt for the fixtures have been
summoned as witnesses in an effort
to ascertain the identity of the owner
OF the property. 1t is reported that
one Corrigan-supposedly Hugh Corri-
gan, member OF Davenport's erstwhile
sporting fraternity-gave the order for
the haul to the expressman. Corri-
gan until several months ago is said to
have been interested in the Turf sa-
loon and gambling house on Eigh-
teenth street, and that he sold out to
Schaum and Titus, who appear as the
present proprietors.
Attorney John K. Scott last night
was approached by a friend of Corri-
gan's and requested to go before some
justice today and apply for a replevin
writ to regain possession of the three
tables. Mr.. Scott declined the job.
The Law and Order league is be-
hind the seizure of the "ownerIess"
outfit.
Ordered Destroyed.
Judge Olmsted late this afternoon
issued an order for the destruction of |
the three gambling tables. The order |
was placed in the hands Of Sheriff Kit |
tilsen, and the latter stated the order |
would be executed forthwith. He said |
an ak would be employed in the oper-
alton. which he said would take place
in the jail yard.
Arthur Fordell is the expressman
who hauled the tables to the Robb's !
storage house. 3 He said he did not
know where the tables came from.
They were on a wagon, he said, at the
Trefz express barn when he took
charge. The only light he could lend
to the situation was that his instruc-
tons were to get a receipt in the name
of Corrigan. Clifford Andrews, clerk
at the Storage house, said he did not
know the owner of the tables
Three Tables Secured.
The seizure Of the gambling fixtures
was made at 8 o'clock yesterday after
noon. John Hauberg, attorney for the
Law and Order league, swore out a
John Doe" search warrant before
Judge r. w Olmsted in the county
court, and the instrument was placed
in the hands of Sheriff Edward Kittil-
sen. That officer, accompanied by ,
Constables August Schmid and L. F.
Hall, secured a wagon and went to
the Robb's express storage warehouse
on Third avenue between Twenty
fourth and Twenty-f1fth streets. While
the others remained on watch outside
the sheriff entered and found a rou-
lette table and two craps tables, the
objects of the search, and they were
taken to the jail yard. {

Street Car Conductor Quits Wife and
Four Children, Telling Them
to Shift for Selves.

William b. Boat, 3221k Twentieth
street, is at the county jail In default
of $1,000 bonds awaiting an investiga
ton by the next grand jury. He is
charged with having deserted his wife
and four children.
Boat is employed as a street car
conductor in Davenport. For a week
past he had not been at his home on
this side of the river until last even
ing, when he came and gathered to-
gether his clothing.
He departed again, after telling his
wife that he was going to let her and
the children shift for themselves. Mrs.
Boat notified the police, who in turn
notified the Davenport department and
Boat was arrested this morning and
returned to this city.
Needless of Advice.
Police Magistrate c. ]. Smith, before
whom he was arraigned, attempted TO
the matter out, but Boat
would listen to no advice. He refused
to give his reason for deserving his
family and all that he would say was
that it was no ones business but his
own, and that he did not intend to live
with his wife. Accordingly he was
held TO the grand jury under $1,000
bonds. His wife states that he has
failed to do his share towards sup
porting her and the children for the
past two years.
